TrumpRx Now Has Generic Meds, US Has 10% Stake In Intel, China Deals, Armed Forces Day, FLOTUS, Congress, And America250

On May 18, 2026, the White House published the Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Announces Expansion of TrumpRx.gov to Bring Americans Transparency and Choice on Everyday Medicines by expanding TrumpRx to include more than 600 generic medications, including atorvastatin (a cholesterol medication), clopidogrel (a blood thinner), lisinopril (a medication for high blood pressure), and metformin (a diabetes medication). However, TrumpRx will not offer controlled substances or medications that are not distributed through 'direct-to-consumer' channels. The Fact Sheet explains that this action will drive innovation in transparency and competition and makes TrumpRx a central platform for those looking for the best cash price for their medications.

On May 18, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump’s Intel Deal and Soaring Markets Prove America First Works discussing President Trump's acquisition of 10% of Intel stock in the name of the US Government. The value of that stock has risen to $50 billion. The release points out that the S&P 500 has had 57 record highs, Nasdaq has had 50 record highs, Dow Jones has had 26 record highs and it's first-ever close above 50,000, and the NYSE Composite has had 44 record highs. The release concludes:

The Intel deal is not an isolated victory. It demonstrates that decisive action, smart trade policy, and prioritizing American workers and innovation are rebuilding national strength and generating real results for the American people. President Trump is securing the best deals for America — and the results speak for themselves.

BIG NEWS: The United States of America now owns 10% of Intel, one of our great American technology companies.

This historic agreement strengthens U.S. leadership in semiconductors, which will both grow our economy and help secure America’s technological edge.

Thanks to Intel… pic.twitter.com/AYMuX14Rgi

On May 17, 2026, the White House published the Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Secures Historic Deals with China, Delivering for American Workers, Farmers, and Industry explaining that these deals will contribute to peace and prosperity as well as establish US-China Boards of Trade and Investment. The Board of Trade will manage trade of non-sensitive goods. The Board of Investment will provide a forum for both governments to discuss investment-related items. In addition, China will address the issues the US is having obtaining rare earths and other critical minerals. China has agreed to work with US regulators on lifting suspensions of US beef facilities. They have also resumed receiving poultry imports where the USDS has certified them free of avian flu.

On May 17, 2026, the White House published the statement Presidential Message on Armed Forces Day (discussed in depth in my May 17, 2025 ANP Article). This year, President Trump writes:

America’s fighting force stands as the most powerful, accomplished, and courageous military the world has ever known. On Armed Forces Day, we salute the men and women proudly serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force—the courageous heroes who stand as the steadfast protectors of our Republic’s security and sovereignty.
As we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence this year, we acknowledge that our precious freedom, enjoyed and embraced by generation after generation, has been secured for all citizens by the providence and grace of Almighty God and the service and sacrifice of every member of our military. Throughout the history of our Republic, America’s warriors have always answered the call to protect our way of life without failure or retreat.

As Commander in Chief, I vow to always stand with our warfighters. When duty calls, America’s defenders answer without hesitation—and under my leadership, they will always have the resources, equipment, and training they need to achieve decisive victory on any field of battle.
America’s valiant warriors are the foundation of our peace and prosperity. On this day, and every day, the First Lady joins me in saluting our Armed Forces and their faithful families, to whom we are eternally indebted.

May is also Military Appreciation Month. Please thank service members, active, veteran, retired and/or disabled for their part in keeping America free.

America’s strength starts with its warfighters.

This Military Appreciation Month, we honor the service and sacrifice of the millions of patriots that defend our nation. pic.twitter.com/MyjxbVUavK

Due to the globalists war on truth, ANP must depend on reader donations (link) to keep the website active. Anything ANP readers can do to help is greatly appreciated (link).

On May 18, 2026, the Office of the First Lady posted a compilation video of the First Lady's Fostering the Future Globally Summit which was held March 24-25, 2026 (discussed in my March 20, 2026, March 25, 2026, and March 26, 2026 ANP Articles), highlighting comments of the First Spouses from other countries and their buy-in to the idea of Fostering the Future Globally.

Congress has still not addressed the SAVE America Act that We The People want to see passed. The Senate gave themselves another 3 day weekend (starting Friday) and the House gave themselves a 3 day weekend (ending Monday). Let's remember that this coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend so Monday, May 25, is a Federal Holiday, meaning the Senate and the House will have yet another 3 day weekend. I'll bet many Americans wish they could work as little as our Congressional politicians work and do so little for the vast majority of We The People.

I think Congress members need to be aware that We The People can access their voting record. All those voting against the will of We The People should be prepared to be primaried this year, and/or voted out of office come November. Especially those holding our country hostage over funding last fall and again this year (76 days!).

The SENATE convened on May 18, 2026 at 3pm and adjourned at 6:35pm. Next meeting is 10am on May 19, 2026.

The Senate voted on SR690 En Block Nominations passing the bill 49 (all Republican) to 43 (41 Democrats and 2 Independents) with 11 members not voting (7 Republicans and 4 Democrats).

The HOUSE convened on May 15, 2026 at 9am and adjourned at 11:42am. Next meeting is noon on May 19, 2026. (They took a 3-day weekend in anticipation of the upcoming Memorial Day 3-day weekend).

Burning of the HMS Gaspee in Rhode Island on June 10, 1772

After the repeal of most of the Townshend Acts by 1770, what was left was taxes. Britain sent Customs Officials to collect the taxes (discussed in my May 8, 2026 ANP Article). One of the ships they sent to Newport, Rhode Island was the HMS Gaspee, a Royal Navy Customs schooner whose job it was to enforce the Navigation Acts in the waters around Rhode Island.

The Navigation Acts (actually called Acts of Trade and Navigation) regulated English ships, shipping, trade, and commerce. The trade laws were first enacted in 1650/1. By 1660, they evolved into the Navigation Act of 1660 with amendments in 1663, 1673, and 1696. In the 1760s major changes in the purpose of the Act started happening. The goal became generating revenue (taxes) from the colonies in addition to regulating trade. Ultimately, these Acts were repealed in 1849.

Britain sent 6 ships to colonial ports to enforce their laws upon the colonists at sea. Rhode Islanders attacked the HMS St John in 1764 and burned the HMS Liberty in 1768. Even the HMS Gaspee, while not attacked directly by Rhode Islanders, needed repair to its gripe and false keel after running aground on a sandbar near Rhode Island in 1767.

Britain sent the HMS Gaspee, under the direction of Lieutenant William Duddingston, back to Rhode Island in February 1772 to patrol the Narragansett Bay. The Gaspee aggressively pursued implementing the trade laws in effect then. His crew harassed merchants, seized colonial ships at will, and chased down suspected smugglers. This did not endear them to the colonials over whom they imposed their will, so resentment grew.

In June 1772, the British Customs Schooner, HMS Gaspee ran into a sandbar off the coast of Warwick, Rhode Island at Namquit Point, while chasing the packet boat Hanna, captained by Benjamin Lindsey, which they suspected of smuggling. Since Lieutenant Duddingston's crew could not free the ship, he thought to wait for high tide. This created a unique opportunity for the colonists.

Merchant John Brown and colonist Abraham Whipple led a band of 60 ordinary citizens to the stranded ship by rowboat at about 1am on June 10, 1772. They surprised the crew, capturing them easily. Lieutenant Duddingston was wounded (not fatally) by a shot in the groin that night, and the ship was set on fire after the boarding party read through the papers stored there. The boarding party likely took the munitions off before setting the ship aflame because it burned rather than exploded.

Once ashore, Lieutenant Duddingston was arrested for seizing an earlier cargo. His commanding officer paid his fine then sent him back to England for a court-martial concerning his burned ship.

British authorieties had passed the Dockyard Act in April 1772 which demanded that anyone suspected of burning a British ship to be extradited back to England to be tried for the crime. By decreeing this action, the King was removing the ability of the accused to be tried on their native soil by a jury of their peers. But, in the case of HMS Gaspee, the British charged the unknown raiders with treason. However, the colonists would not give the British any information about who did what concerning the burning of the HMS Gaspee. Well, except for one indentured servant.

Aaron Briggs, indentured servant, claimed to have participated in the raid. He named John Brown, Joseph Brown, Simeon Potter, Dr Weeks, and Richmond as leaders of the raid. The two proprietors of the Prudence Island farm where Briggs worked stated Briggs had been present at work at the time of the raid. In addition, 2 other indentured servants working with Briggs stated Briggs was present at work at the time of the raid. This led the British investigating the raid to believe Briggs was an imposter, dropping the case entirely due to lack of evidence after the 10-month investigation led nowhere. Lieutenant Duddingston protested to no avail. Therefore no one was ever identified, no evidence was collected, and no one was ever arrested, tried, or convicted.

Shortly after the successful raid, the Committees of Correspondence (to be discussed in a future ANP Article) were created to organized the resistance to the overreach of the British Monarchy. This is rapidly followed by a meeting of delegates from every colony which would later become the First Continental Congress in 1775.

In 2017, Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo signed a bill introducing a Gaspee Days license plate to commemorate the burning of the HMS Gaspee and the role it played in the Revolutionary War that was to come. For America250, the Rhode Island State Archives has a new exhibit The Spark that Ignited the American Revolution open to the public. On June 11, 2026 the Annual Gaspee Days Parade will be held. On June 12, 2026, there will be a reenactment of the Burning of the Gaspee. To see what America250 events are scheduled for this year in your area, America250.org has a map you can view.

The Too-Long Goodbye - Bonne Nuit And Au Revoir, Monsieur Colbert, And Don’t Let The CBS Screen Door Bump Your Ass On The Way Out

The Too-Long Goodbye - Bonne Nuit And Au Revoir, Monsieur Colbert, And Don’t Let The CBS Screen Door Bump Your Ass On The Way Out

Stephen Colbert Smootchfest (with Jimmy Fallon, Smoochee)

By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline

“. . . we are witnessing mass formation in real time, where the group delusion becomes the only permissible reality.” LH Grey on X

Last week, Stephen Colbert celebrated his May 21 departure from late-night TV by French-kissing his fellow late-night soul-mate hosts goodbye, perhaps to honor the French origins of the Woke political ideology that guided his rocket flight to fame — Michel Foucault (1926–1984), who argued that power was all that mattered and that you could talk any absurdity about sex, mental illness, and criminality into mass belief. . . Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), who argued that reality depends on how you feel about it. . . Jean-François Lyotard (1924–1998), who denounced truth per se in favor of your truth. . . and Gilles Deleuze, father of gender-fluidity.

So, bonne nuit and au revoir, Monsieur Colbert, and don’t let the CBS screen door bump your ass on the way out. Few public figures in our time have done as much damage to the collective mental health of our country than Colbert did in his late-night operations. For instance, the dance routine, broadcast circa April 2021, titled “The Vax-Scene,” when “Joe Biden” and Dr. Fauci rolled out the mRNA products that would eventually maim or kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. Colbert did the shimmy in front of a chorus line costumed as syringes capering to a musical arrangement of the old Latin hit, Tequila (original, by The Champs, 1958). His ignorance about what actually was at stake was surpassed only by his Cheshire Cat caliber smugness. So, what you see in this video is the rectified essence of the demonic idiocy that still animates the Democratic Party. Save it and watch it often to remind yourself what the nation has been battling for so many years.

I was actually a guest on Colbert’s show years ago in its early evening incarnation when the running gag was Colbert pretending to be a right-winger. In the green room before the show, his handlers told me to “not try to be funny because that’s Stephen’s job.” I had just published a novel about what life in America might be like after the collapse of our techno-industrial economy (World Made by Hand). Colbert treated that as a joke, too, of course. He already had the remarkable ability for finding comedy in all the wrong places. By the time Covid came along, he was no longer a pretend conservative; he was an out-front Democratic Party / Deep State propaganda tool.

It remains to be seen how the party can possibly survive the revelations-to-come of its monumental criminality. Sunday morning, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche turned up on Maria Bartiromo’s public affairs show. Maria was in a testy mood, repeatedly telling Mr. Blanche that America has lost patience bigly over the complete lack of “accountability” for the various seditions and treasons launched against the public since 2016, in particular, the obvious treachery so many witnessed in the 2020 election.

Mr. Blanche replied, ““Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That’s not something the DOJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia — in Fulton County, Georgia. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at.”

Quite so: evidence for many years, by the truckload, and indeed it was only a month or so ago that the FBI turned up at the Fulton County, GA, election records depository building and seized a truckload of ballots and other material related to the Big Switcheroo that the election workers there pulled off overnight on Nov 3, 2020 —because “broken water mains [toilets, that is],” and all. Mr. Blanche might not need to tell the irascible Maria B about that, but eventually he will have to tell the whole country what happened in Fulton County, GA, and Maricopa County, AZ, and Antrim County, MI, and Milwaukee County, WI, and Philadelphia. . . .

It remains to be seen how the stolen 2020 election business might be rolled into the “grand conspiracy” case being pursued in the grand jury convened at Fort Pierce, Florida. It will probably be a major entrée in the smorgasbord of prosecutable turpitudes presently under consideration. Also remains to be seen how half the country that still calls itself “Left” or “Progressive” or “registered Democrat” will greet the news that “Joe Biden” did not win that crooked election, but rather, their bête noire, Donald Trump, won. And not by a slim margin, but by a ton.

And how will all the other authorities across the land, both public and private, deal with the apparent fact that the country suffered under a fake president for a whole four-year term? Congress will have to say something, make some determination. Or the Supreme Court? Or some combo. All the laws passed under “Joe Biden,” and the executive actions taken by him that were not laws strictly speaking, might have to be rescinded, cancelled, including all the many pardons issued under his autopen.

And how will the corrupt, mendacious news media process hard charges of massive and decisive election fraud in 2020? Of course, they never even tried to investigate it, didn’t send a single reporter out to search the thickets, just opened the gas jets to keep the gaslights lit. And they’re still doing it! Only days ago, the disgustingly dishonest New York Times framed their story about the release of Tina Peters in Colorado this way:

Tina Peters, grandmother and Mesa County election clerk, was trying to determine whether a fishy post-election “software update” had wiped the 2020 records out of Mesa County’s Dominion vote-tallying machines. The Colorado authorities, led by Colorado Sec’y of State Jena Griswold, tossed Ms. Peters in jail on a nine-year sentence for examining the machines. Maybe the time is at hand when Jena Griswold gets tossed in jail. Looks like we’ll finally learn the true meaning of the phrase “election denier.”

ET Still Works For The CIA: Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, Interdimensional Beings....Whatever - Governments Lie!

ET Still Works For The CIA: Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, Interdimensional Beings....Whatever - Governments Lie!

Image via Pixabay

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

The Trump administration continues to release tranches of previously classified documents on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the preferred term that includes traditional sightings of UFOs. “Traditional sightings” is a strange admission, don’t you think? Aliens and UFOs have been part of our national conversation for eighty years, long enough to constitute a “tradition,” even though the public has few answers for the questions this “tradition” brings.

Whether the U.S. government will ever provide real answers to unexplained events that have perplexed Americans for generations seems a secondary issue at this point. The more pressing question is this: If our government has been in possession of critical information about the nature of our reality, why should it be empowered to decide what we know? Or asked differently: Why should the government be permitted to keep secrets from us — especially when we are permitted to keep so few secrets from our government?

For decades, the U.S. military, FBI, and CIA dismissed reports of mysterious lights in the sky as hoaxes, misidentifications, or routine weather events. Discussion of the 1947 Roswell incident was regarded as a “conspiracy theory.” First-person encounters with non-human technology or even non-human, sentient beings were ridiculed as delusions.

Over the last fifteen years, though, a steady stream of former government employees — who describe themselves as “whistleblowers” — have testified both in public and under oath that they witnessed fantastic things that cannot be explained by existing technologies or accepted understandings of reality. Although some of these people do have verifiable credentials, records, and careers that suggest they were in positions to have witnessed the extraordinary things that they describe, nobody can know for sure whether they are telling the truth. Or said another way, nobody knows whether they are genuine “witnesses” to the existence of non-human intelligence or whether they are intentionally or unintentionally misleading the public. If what they say is false, they are either active agents of disinformation or manipulated pawns being controlled without their knowledge.

What is most striking about this moment in history is that Americans are responding to the government’s rollout of these long-classified files — what UFO enthusiasts describe as “disclosure” — with something between a collective shrug and sheer disbelief. For most of the last century, a vocal contingent of Americans has claimed that the U.S. government has been orchestrating a mass cover-up of the alien/UFO issue. Americans have demanded answers. Thousands of books and documentary movies have been written and produced about this phenomenon. Hollywood has played with Americans’ imaginations by speculating that extraterrestrial aliens are real and that the U.S. government has long known that they are real. Steven Spielberg has another alien movie coming out next month. Now the U.S. government seems to be slowly admitting that UFO-enthusiasts have been right all along, but, instead of celebrating the news, many of those same enthusiasts are wondering whether the government is really telling the truth. Perhaps Spielberg’s friends in the CIA are just helping him goose box-office sales.

Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, interdimensional beings — whatever. What’s fascinating is that government authorities are so distrusted at this point in time that nobody believes what officials say. Who could blame people for having such a dim view of the government’s capacity for honesty? After all, ongoing UAP disclosures suggest one of two possibilities: Either (1) elements of the U.S. government have been waging an information war against the American people for most of the last century by covering up world-historic events of unprecedented importance, or (2) elements of the U.S. government are currently waging an information war against the American people by suggesting that non-human entities with vastly superior intelligence are real.

Pick your poison: Either the American government was maliciously lying yesterday, or it is maliciously lying today. However the dust settles, rational people should agree: Government officials are habitual liars.

I don’t say that flippantly. I think it’s important for citizens to understand that government is not their friend. Government is, at best, a necessary construct to keep people’s worst impulses in check. At worst, government is total oppression. Somewhere in between, government enjoys a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. It uses threats of violence or imprisonment to confiscate citizens’ property through taxation and to control citizens’ behavior through a system of laws, rules, and regulations. Government grows only larger and more powerful over time. It rarely chooses a scalpel over an axe. Its army of bureaucrats operate as vampiric tyrants trained to drain an individual’s liberty. Who would trust people who clothe themselves in institutional power and stand above the law? Who would hold in high esteem government bureaucrats who disdain the natural wisdom of the people yet proclaim themselves “experts” in everything?

Many smart people abhor the left/right dichotomy of Western politics. They correctly see it as a dialectical mind game used to divide and conquer populations. The term “Uniparty” is often used to acknowledge that Establishment Democrats and Republicans in the United States are part of the same Leviathan preying on the American people. While citizens are distracted by party politics, the Uniparty works to make Big Government ever more totalitarian.

Instead of left/right labels that often produce a distinction without a difference, it is much more helpful to ask whether a person worships or loathes government.

In the ‘90s, President Bill Clinton directed federal law enforcement agencies to target anti-government groups as domestic terrorists, a wholly un-American effort that President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder expanded greatly by using the unconstitutional powers of the USA PATRIOT Act to target political enemies. Obama regularly mocks Americans who distrust government and insists that Democrat-controlled government is Americans’ best friend. During his 2012 re-election campaign, Obama released a storybook called “The Life of Julia” that purported to show how his government would take care of every American from birth to death. Likewise, President Joe Biden routinely mocks American firearm owners who believe that the Second Amendment is an indispensable check on government power. In arguing that Americans should be disarmed, Biden claims that Americans stand no chance against the U.S. military.

Similarly, many of the Americans who voted for Clinton, Obama, and Biden seem to believe that government is some benevolent force that gives “free stuff” to people. They cheer new government programs, agencies, and rules as if expansive bureaucracy were an inherently “good” thing. When their political opponents take power, however, they immediately complain about government corruption. It is perplexing how certain voters delude themselves into believing that Big Government is great when a Clinton, Obama, or Biden has power but awful when the wrong wing of the Uniparty takes control.

Those who choose to worship government find ways to recognize government corruption only when the “wrong” party holds office. Those who rightfully distrust government understand that bureaucrats aren’t saints, “experts” aren’t priests, and governments aren’t gods.

In the two hundred and fiftieth year of America’s experiment in limited government and expansive individual liberty, it has never been more important for Americans to remember that their country was founded on an inherent distrust of power and authority. Government is rarely a source of good because governments are comprised of men and women — not angels. Government bureaucrats are not emancipators; they’re freedom-killers. They keep secrets and tell lies. They manufacture consensus. They pretend that an uninformed population is somehow equipped to vote knowledgeably.

How can any society pretend to be “democratic” if its government perpetually keeps it in the dark? If a government can’t be trusted to tell the truth about UFOs, why should it be trusted to tell the truth about anything? Governments don’t give; they take. Americans must open their eyes.

Britain Is The Canary In The Coal Mine - Replacing Globalism With National Self-Sufficiency Is A Life-Or-Death Decision

Britain Is The Canary In The Coal Mine - Replacing Globalism With National Self-Sufficiency Is A Life-Or-Death Decision

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

The United Kingdom’s recent elections were a bloodbath for the Establishment political parties and a resounding success for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Voters are furious with their “ruling elites.” Because these were local elections, though, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party remains in control of the national government. Therefore, the election results will likely prove symbolically seismic yet practically anemic.

Starmer insists on rejecting the democratic will of Brexit voters and reintegrating the U.K. with the European Union. The “ruling elite’s” hostility toward British citizens’ desire for national sovereignty will produce many unsavory outcomes, including a likely surge of foreign migrants resettling in the U.K. Whereas the local elections have been correctly interpreted as an expression of the public’s overwhelming opposition to mass migration of foreigners into their communities, Starmer’s Labour Party will exacerbate the problem.

Ever since voters chose to leave the E.U. back in 2016, the U.K.’s political Establishment (Conservative and Labour) has undermined the effort. It took four years to negotiate a “divorce” that ended up looking more like a temporary separation. Many of the most important issues for British citizens — including the reimplementation of sovereign decision-making over economic, regulatory, and immigration policies — were almost immediately watered-down, skirted through legal workarounds, or outright ignored.

Ten years ago, the Brits tried to take their country back from the globalists who use all national homelands as little more than junkyards for spare parts, plantations for slave labor, or dumping grounds for unwanted migrants. As the globalists have remained in control of the national and international institutions, however, they simply bided their time and hollowed out the substance of the people’s vote until the consequential referendum became Brexit-in-name-only. The will of ordinary voters proved insufficient to overcome the political and economic power of bureaucratic armies — especially when those armies are funded in perpetuity by the very taxpayers who oppose them.

The U.K.’s local elections, then, should be seen as part of the rolling tug-of-war between citizens and “ruling class” bureaucrats over the last decade. Regular Brits have done everything they can to pull their country back from the globalist abyss into which Establishment “elites” wish to drag all nations. They have voted, protested, expressed themselves online, and marched through the streets. In turn, the U.K.’s “ruling class” ignored voters, criminalized protest as “hate speech,” censored online debate, and defamed marchers as “far-right fascists.”

To make matters immeasurably worse, the political Establishment has been exposed as a complicit partner in a decades-long Islamic rape gang scandal that has destroyed families across the U.K. While covering up the heinous crimes of foreign nationals abusing, raping, and murdering British girls, the “ruling class” directed police forces to intimidate and silence any British citizens discussing these important public safety matters online or at protest rallies. In other words, the British Establishment took the side of foreign criminals and betrayed the British family.

The “elites” have spent the last decade undermining the spirit of self-government while simultaneously puffing out their chests and pretending to be arch-defenders of “democracy.” Where do things go from here? Well, as President Kennedy warned, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” It is worth noting that a growing chorus of British scholars, military veterans, and foreign policy professionals are stating emphatically: The United Kingdom is headed for civil war.

As the combustible U.K. is a canary in the coal mine for the rest of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States, it is important to see Britain’s suicide with clear eyes.

Until WWII, the United Kingdom was the largest empire that the world has known. It stretched across a quarter of the planet’s landmass and included a quarter of the planet’s population. It was the industrial powerhouse of the nineteenth century and was regarded as the “workshop of the world.” British naval power controlled the oceans and dominated global commerce. In the late 1800s, the U.K. produced roughly 30% of the whole planet’s industrial output and 25% of global trade. The United States did not economically surpass Britain until the third year of WWI. London banks financed projects on every continent, and the British pound sterling remained the world reserve currency until after WWII.

Today, the U.K. produces next to nothing. Its mines are closed. Its valuable North Sea oil and gas fields are untapped. The U.K.’s largest steelworks shut down its final furnace two years ago, and now the British government is scrambling to nationalize the historic British Steel currently controlled by the Chinese. With regard to the potential takeover of the plant, Prime Minister Starmer said, “Strong nations in a world like this need to make steel.” You think?

How did the British government allow Chinese communists to take control of a vital national industry? Three simple (and infuriating) reasons: (1) China’s centralized economy has flooded the globe with cheap steel (sold at a loss) as a form of economic warfare that bankrupts companies all over the world. (2) Britain’s insane “green energy” policies force British steelmakers to pay much more for energy than Chinese steelworks. (3) Britain’s suicidal “green energy” policies forced British steelmakers to “upgrade” their plants to electric arc furnaces, which, coincidentally enough, Chinese companies have been happy to build by taking advantage of “green credits” from the British government.

This kind of mentality is how you lose an empire and never win it back. Through irrational, unscientific, and economically suicidal “green energy” policies, the British government destroyed its industrial self-sufficiency, handed over its physical capital to China’s government, and actually paid the Chinese with taxpayer funds. You cannot remain a nation when you are paying other nations to defeat you in battle. Yet this kind of buffoonery has dominated all of Europe in the present century.

You cannot be a great country without a self-sufficient economy. This is the only discipline in our world where the subject of “diversity” should be greeted with seriousness, not snickering. For a nation to protect its people’s futures, it must be economically diverse enough to provide for its people’s needs. It must strive to strengthen its industrial backbone, broaden its manufacturing capacity, encourage technological innovation, and foster small-business entrepreneurship. An industrious, ingenious domestic labor force produces national wealth. Diversify a national economy to the point that your country competes in every available market, and you make your country immune from hostile takeovers.

The U.K. has chosen the path to subjugation and serfdom. The British government would rather depend upon Chinese slave labor than British labor. It would rather depend upon Chinese electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and steel than produce those critical products at home. It would rather depend upon China’s coal plants to keep import prices down than use its own valuable oil and natural gas fields to power the nation.

Banking fees, insider trading, and currency manipulation can artificially elevate a country’s ostensible economic outlook for decades. Eventually, however, if a nation mines nothing and makes nothing, its balance sheets will show nothing but debt. If a nation uses foreign workers abroad and foreign workers at home to perform all the jobs that its people require, citizens will have nothing but debt, too.

Poor nations whose people share a common culture can endure great suffering and remain united. Nations divided by many cultures approach suffering as a feeding frenzy wherein every tribe fights to survive. Britain survived the hardships of WWII because it was a united nation. After a century of mass immigration, it will not survive the next war.

To anybody in the West who wishes to avoid the United Kingdom’s fate: Pay attention. What happens there will happen everywhere. Replacing globalism with national self-sufficiency is a life or death decision. Choose accordingly.

President Trump Ends His Visit To China, Visiting Temple Of Heaven, Departing, Refueling In AK With Press Gaggle, Ending At The WH

President Trump Ends His Visit To China, Visiting Temple Of Heaven, Departing, Refueling In AK With Press Gaggle, Ending At The WH

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 15, 2026, their last day in China, President Trump joined President Xi for a tour of the Temple of Heaven:

President Trump and President Xi also gave a brief to the press in China prior to the delegation's departure. President Trump expressed his thanks for the incredible visit. He thinks there were some fantastic trade deals for both countries. They did discuss Iran, both want the conflict to end, agree that Iran can't have nuclear weapons, and the straight needs to be open for commerce. President Xi and his wife will visit the US on September 24, 2026.

Then President Trump and his delegation departed from Beijing, China to return to the states via Alaska with the same fanfare as he experienced upon his arrival.

Of course, all gifts given to President Trump and his delegation (including members of the press) by Chinese officials were required to be trashed because of extreme security risks for espionage. These gifts had to be dumped in the trash bin before delegation members could board AF1. All event access passes, press badges, and lanyards provided by Beijing security were also trashed before being allowed onto AF1. Delegates kept their own technology locked up on AF1 and used burner phones during the time they were on Chinese soil. I suspect the Chinese delegation will do the same when they visit the US.

On May 15, 2026, when the plane stopped to refuel in Anchorage, Alaska, President Trump gaggled with the press for more than 25 minutes. As usual, the press were all over the place with their questions. I have grouped the questions and answers based on topic starting with the non-China topics first:

IRAN
Yes, the latest proposal from Iran was rejected. Until they agree to No Nukes Forever, every proposal will be rejected. President Xi agrees that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. As to the Straight, President Xi is a buyer of Iranian oil, we are not. We do not care so much how long the straight is closed, Xi is concerned; however, President Xi has decided to purchase oil from Alaska. It's closer and there is no supply bottleneck between China and Alaska. As to asking President Xi to apply pressure to Iran, it is not needed. President Trump refused to commit to bombing Iran again, all he would say is Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. As to the strike on the girls' school at the beginning of the Iran conflict, all President Trump would say is that it is under investigation. President Trump clearly stated that Obama and Biden are responsible for where Iran was before we hit them and destroyed their military. However, he said Iran did admit they cannot get to the nuclear dust and will need assistance to turn it over.
RUBIO
Apparently, the press was enamored with one of the outfits Secretary Rubio wore. President Trump said he thought it looked good. However, he, himself, did not think he could pull off an outfit like that.
TEXAS SENATE RACE
President Trump said he knows both candidates well; but, has not yet chosen to endorse anyone. On the other hand, he said the Democrats had a 'weird' candidate. He's a 6-gender-weirdo who was vegan but knows Texans will not elect a vegan (they are definitely cattle country), so all of a sudden, he's no longer vegan. President Trump is sure both Republican candidates will easily defeat the 6-gender-no-longer-vegan Democrat.
NORTH KOREA
President Trump says he has a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un. He is respectful of our country. That is all he would say about North Korea.
TREASON
President Trump is calling out propaganda media for what he considers to be "treasonous reporting" with NYT & CNN being the worst. He did say that their editors tell them what to write. Then he said he thinks it's treason when the propaganda media writes that Iran is doing well militarily when they've been told that Iran's military is completely decimated. Every one of their planes is gone, every one of their ships is at the bottom of the sea. President Trump then postulated at the NYT's readership is down because of the fake stories they publish.
CUBA
President Trump said he would let the DOJ answer questions about indicting Cuban ruler Castro. He did say that Cuba is a country in decline.
TARIFFS
President Trump said he and President Xi did not discuss tariffs.
UKRAINE
Yes, Ukraine was discussed with President Xi. He agreed that we would like to see Ukraine settled. Ukraine took a huge hit May 14. A total of 25,000 people died last month.
UK
The British Prime Minister is in a lot of trouble between energy (oil) and immigration. President Trump says the UK should open up the North Sea for drilling oil. But, the British Prime Minister would prefer windmills that kill birds, ruin landscape, and are unsightly.
TAIWAN
President Xi does not want Taiwan to fight for independence. China has held control over Taiwan for over 1,000 years. Even though President Xi thinks there might be a war against the US over Taiwan, President Trump did not think that was a possibility. As to arms sales to Taiwan, President Trump said he would make a determination soon. What about the 1982 assurances President Reagan signed? The last thing we need right now is a war over 9,500 miles away. He did not speak to President Xi about his ideas concerning Taiwan.
DECLINE OF US
President Xi mentioned that the US was in decline for 4 years (during the Autopen administration), he followed that with the turnaround President Trump has established since he started his 2nd term. President Xi called it a "virtual miracle" and now the US is the hottest country in the world.
CHINA - TRADE
China will buy billions of dollars worth of soybeans from American farmers. China will also buy 200 Boeing 777's with the possibility of expanding to 750 if the product is well made.
CHINA - OIL SANCTIONS
President Trump will make a determination on lifting sanctions on Chinese companies buying Iranian oil soon.
CHINA - COVID FROM WUHAN
President Trump said he blamed President Xi for Wuhan and President Trump was right. It affected the China-US relationship for quite some time. But, we had a great relationship before Wuhan and now that relationship is better than ever.
CHINA - FENTANYL
President Trump said he put a penalty tariff on China over Fentanyl (and its components). Fentanyl in the US is way down and the penalty tariff could be part of the reason
CHINA - IS PRESIDENT XI A DICTATOR
President Trump was asked if he though President Xi was a dictator. He replied that he does not think about it. He recognizes President Xi as President of China. He's the ruler in China. You deal with what you have. President Trump respects President Xi, he's very smart, he loves his country. Whether or not President Xi is a dictator is for the press to figure out.
CHINA - POLITICAL PRISONERS
President Trump said he brought up the political prisoners with President Xi and that President Xi said those are tough issues. President Trump thinks President Xi is giving serious consideration to releasing the pastor. As to the other one, President Xi said he would strongly consider what is best in the situation.
CHINA - NUCLEAR ARMS
China has 600 nukes by now, President Trump spoke about denuclearization with both China and Russia. These are beginning times. We have another 4 meetings this year. President Xi said he wants to attend G20 in Miami later this year and President Trump thinks it is important that President Xi attend the conference. The talk is about denuclearization, building down of the nuke arsenal.
CHINA - SPYING
They spy on us, we spy on them. We know about how they are spying on us, and they probably know how we are spying on them. It's a spying infrastructure.
CHINA - TECHNOLOGY
Advanced computer chips did not come up in discussion. Jensen was there, so he might have discussed those chips in his sessions. On AI, we're leading by a lot; but, China is very strong in their own AI program. President Trump said there is a possibly working with China to create guard rails for AI. They had a good conversation about biological nuclear cyber as well.

President Trump reminded everyone that this was an historic visit to China. Then he told everyone to enjoy the rest of the flight back to DC and shut down the gaggle.

On May 15, 2026, upon arrival to the White House, President Trump gave extremely brief remarks to the press. He took a few seconds to tell the press: "it was a great success, we did great trade deals, it was an historic moment, and the press will be hearing about everything later." Before he headed into the White House.

Finally, on May 15, 2026, the President sat down with Bret Baier to talk about China and other topics. President Trump reiterated that he has a good relationship with President Xi. That trade between our 2 countries is strong especially in soybeans from American farmers. China ordered 200 Boeing 777's and if China likes what they receive they could order another 500 to 550 more of them. China was surprised at how much progress we have made in AI and we are now substantially ahead of China in that race.

Both countries agree that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Both want to see the Iran conflict end. We want the 'nuclear dust' and are willing to go get it if that's what it takes. The Straight of Hormuz needs to be opened, Iran has been using the Straight as a weapon against the rest of the world. Even if it takes another 4 weeks, President Trump said he "wants to do the job right" and considering Vietnam lasted 19 years and other wars lasted between 7 and 22 years, for being in conflict with Iran for only 2 1/2 months at this point is amazing. In another month (or so) President Trump expects for the Straight to be reopened and the oil to be flowing and gas prices at home to drop.

Resource Scramble: President Trump Is Rearranging The Global Game-Board Bigly, And The Net Result Will Be The Sorting-Out Of Winners And Losers

Resource Scramble: President Trump Is Rearranging The Global Game-Board Bigly, And The Net Result Will Be The Sorting-Out Of Winners And Losers

By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline

“Trump has done so much damage to libtardery that the Democrats will need a decade of uninterrupted power to undo it, which they're not going to get.” —Matt Forney on X

If you learned anything from this week’s extravaganza in Beijing, it is that Donald Trump is aggressively re-aligning world relations so that the USA does not end up one of the losers in the global resource scramble that lurks darkly behind all current events. China does not intend to be an eventual loser, either, though it has lost a lot of traction lately. The Eurolands are certainly the main losers, embracing loserdom as the old and sick long for death. India and some of the BRICs countries, are looking a little loser-ish just now.

The primary resource all nations scramble for is oil. Without lavish supplies of oil, you can’t have an advanced techno-industrial economy and, as the feckless Eurolanders learned the hard way, there really isn’t an adequate substitute for oil. The flow of oil depends on economically producible reserves of oil country-by-country, but also on geographic advantage, as we are learning just now in the Hormuz crisis.

“Europe’s crude oil production started its permanent decline in 2001. Asia-Pacific’s production hit a maximum in 2010, and it has been declining since. Africa’s peak oil production took place in 2008, and it has been mostly declining since.” — Gail Tverberg, OurFiniteWorld.com

Also, turns out, the peak oil story is still real, despite fifteen years of shale oil miracles. The Persian Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia are probably past peak. American shale oil is in the peaking zone, too — the Permian Basin in Texas is running short of sweet spots. The Arctic National Wildlife Reserve (AMWR) is open for leasing, but it is expensive to drill and produce in the harsh arctic region and the US Geological Survey estimates recoverable reserves there between 7.7 – 10 billion barrels — America consumes roughly 7.5 billion barrels-a-year, so. . . .

There’s Canada, of course, and its tar sands, but the Great White North these days leans rather hostilely towards its neighbor to the south (us). Otherwise, North America is pretty fully explored oil-wise. There can’t be a whole lot of hidden, un-tapped “elephant” fields out there. On the plus side, America enjoys its geographic advantage, comfortably cushioned between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, far from the madding crowd of Eurasia.

We have lately trumpeted our supposed acquisition of Venezuela, but projected production of US companies there looking ahead several years would be under a million barrels-a-day while the US uses 20.5-million barrels a day. As for Venezuela’s jungle-bound oil sands, well, for now, fuggeddabowdit.

Russia’s Ministry of Natural Resources puts its commercially recoverable oil resources (with current technology and prices) at around 80-billion barrels, which is a lot, and leaves Russia in a theoretically favorable place for the short term, anyway. China uses about 17-million barrels-a-day and imports about 70-percent of that. Its imports of Iranian oil are substantial but obscured in official statistics due to the evasion of US sanctions. The Hormuz blockade has put a hurt on China.

Here’s how the global resource scramble translates into geopolitical behavior: As has been evident for some time, US interests are increasingly alienated from Euroland’s interests, and better aligned with Russia’s interests. Europe is demonstrably insane these days, roiling with loose talk as it whirls around the drain. Russia, under V. Putin, looks more like the adult in the room. Even Russia’s military operation in Ukraine looks rational if you consider how the EU and the CIA started the damn thing in the first place circa 2014 for the very purpose of provoking Russia.

Mr. Trump has yearned to normalize relations with Russia since he stepped on-stage in 2016, to the great consternation of America’s neocons, CIA shadow-meisters, and the born-again communists running the Democratic Party (who seem to resent Russia ditching Marxism-Leninism thirty-five years ago). This week, the US and China have mutually proposed becoming “partners” rather than rivals on the world scene. We will surely remain mutually wary, but apparently things have changed.

Most urgently, China would like its oil imports from the Persian Gulf restored, and the obvious way to make that happen would be for them to lean on Iran to stop screwing around and come to terms with the US — give up the enriched uranium and stop laying jihad on everybody near and far. We’ll know soon enough if China will do that for us, and we have some goodies promised for them, Nvidia chips, soybeans, and more.

Mr. Trump is rearranging the global game-board bigly, and the net result will be the sorting-out of winners and losers. Iran is the poster boy for that. It could go either way for them, soon, and rather sharply. If Iran’s jihad-happy leaders just quit FAFOing, they have the chance to re-enter the global community as an advanced modern economy with a comfortable standard of living. Or, the US could just blow up what’s left there. China will probably deliver that message forcefully in the days ahead.

There remains, however, the dirty business of America’s domestic enemies, of whom we learn more and more each week. This week, it was the testimony of “whistleblower” CIA agent James Erdman that the CIA worked sedulously to conceal the true origins of Covid-19. It looks pretty much like what half of America has suspected all along: that Covid was a trip laid on the nation by its own Deep State (mainly the CIA), in concert with the rogue Democratic Party, for the express purpose of queering the 2020 election.

Related seditious operations apparently continue to this very hour. Former CIA Director John Brennan told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace this week: “There’s still a legion of professionals in the law enforcement environment, the Department of Justice, as well as the CIA and other places — the ones who are refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions, those who are refusing to support any type of political activities on the part of the Trump administration. . . .” Did he just admit that the conspiracy he kicked off in 2016 is still ongoing? And that he is an active party to it? I think so. Do you think Joe DiGenova noticed that down in the DOJ’s Southern District of Florida?

Just as astoundingly, this week former FBI Director James Comey told CNN’s Kasie Hunt that he “still speaks regularly” to current FBI employees. Say, what. . . ? He palavers with the very agency that is investigating him for serious felonies, such as threatening the life of the US president? Sounds a little out-of-order, ya think? Does he long to spend the rest of his life as captain of the ping-pong team at the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary?

Presidents Trump And Xi Participate In A State Banquet, Feast Of The Ascension, America250 The Lewis And Clark Expedition, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 14, 2026, President Trump participated in a State Banquet with President Xi of the People's Republic of China (video below). President Xi made opening remarks:

Honorable Person Donald J Trump, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to host the state banquet with the Honor of President Trump during his state visit to China. On behalf of the Chinese Government and People, I would like to extend a warm welcome to President Trump and the US delegation.
This is a historic visit. This year marks the start of China's 15th 5-year plan for economic and social development. The over 1.4 billion people of China, drawing on the rich heritage of our over 5,000 year civilization, are advancing Chinese modernization on all fronts. To high quality development.
This year is also the 250th anniversary of American Independence. The over 300 million American people are reinvigorating the spirit of patriotism, innovation, and enterprise, and ushering in a new journey for the development of the United States. The People of China and the United States are both great people achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation and making America great again can go hand-in-hand. We can help each other succeed and advance the well-being of the whole world.
Fifty-five years ago, President Richard Nixon sent Dr Henry Kissinger to visit China. And ping-pong diplomacy was carried out between our two countries. Through efforts of the two governments and people, the door that had remained frozen for over 20 years was opened marking a milestone in temporary international relations. From then on, China and the United States have written many chapters of friendship through mutual openness and cooperation. Under the new situation, President Trump and I are fully aware of the expectations of our two nations, and the international community, have had multiple meetings and phone calls, and kept China-US relations generally stable.
Today, President Trump and I have had in-depth exchanges on China-US relations and international and regional dynamics. We both believe that that the China-US is the most important bi-lateral relationship in the world. We must make it work and never mess it up. Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. Our two countries should be partners rather than rivals. President Trump and I also agree to build a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability to promote the steady, sound, and sustainable development of China-US relations, and bring more peace, prosperity, and progress to the world.
Honorable President Donald J Trump, ladies and gentlemen, friends, looking back at the cause of China-US relations, whether or not we could have mutual respect, peaceful co-existence, and win-win cooperation is the key to whether the relationship can advance steadily. The world today is changing and turbulent. China-US relations concern the well-being of the over 1.7 billion people of both countries, and, in fact, the over 8 billion people of the world. Both sides should rise up to this historic responsibility, and steer the giant ship of China-US relations forward, steadily and in the right direction.
Now please join me in a toast to the development and prosperity of China and the United States and the well-being of our people, to the bright future of China-US relations, and the friendship between the two peoples, and to the health of President Trump and all the friends present. Cheers! Cheers!

President Trump then gave his toast:

Well, thank you very much, this is a great honor. It was a fantastic day. And, in particular, I want to than President Xi, my friend, for this magnificent welcome. And it was really a magnificent welcome like none other. And for so graciously hosting us on this very historic state visit. We had extremely positive and productive conversations and meetings today, with the Chinese delegation earlier, and this evening is another cherished opportunity to discuss, among friends, some of the things we discussed today. All good for the United States and for China. It was a great honor to be with you (as he gestures to where President Xi is seated). Please (gestures to the translator).
The relationship between the American and Chinese people goes all the way back to America's founding. The first American Consul to China, Samuel Shaw, arrived on the first American trading ship to reach these shores in 1784. The Chinese merchants had a name for these Americans, they called their visions the new people. Two and a half centuries later, that first connection has grown into one of the most consequential relationships in world history.
From the beginning, our citizens have shared deep feelings of mutual respect. Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin, published the sayings of Confucius in his colonial newspaper. And today's culture recognizing that ancient Chinese sage is carved into the United States Supreme Court, very proudly.
The appreciation ran in both directions, Chinese admirers of President George Washington gifted a stone tablet honoring his memory to adorn the Washington Monument. It bears the words of a Chinese official who called the great General and Statesman a hero among men.
Across the centuries, this mutual esteem grew into a relationship that reflected the tremendous talent and potential of our two people. Chinese workers helped lay the railroad tracks that connected our Atlantic coast to the Pacific. American travelers to China helped spread literacy and modern medicine, and, at the request of China's Ambassador, it was President Theodore Roosevelt who provided the funds to establish President Xi's alma mater, Tsinghua University.
As allies in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt mentions of the brave people of China, it's what they were, drew loud cheers in his speeches in the United States. Everybody loved what he had to say. Just as many Chinese now love basketball and blue jeans. Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States all combined. That's a pretty big statement.
This bond of commerce and respect that stretches back 250 years is the foundation for a future that benefits both of our nations. The American and Chinese people share much in common. We value hard work, we value courage and achievement, we love our families, and we love our countries. Together we have a chance to draw on these values to create a future of greater prosperity, cooperation, and happiness, and peace for our children, we love our children. This region and the world, it's a special world with the two of us united and together.
Thank you, again, President Xi, for this beautiful welcome and tonight it is my honor to extend an invitation to you and Madam Peng [Liyuan], to visit us at the White House this September 24th and we look forward to it. And I'd now like to raise a glass and propose a toast to the rich and enduring ties between the American and Chinese people. It's a very special relationship, and I want to thank you again, this has been an amazing period of time. Thank you, President Xi. Thank you everybody. Thank you everybody very much.

On May 14, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on the Feast of the Ascension stating that he and Melanie will join with Christians in the US and around the world who celebrate the memorial feast day of the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven. President Trump reminds us that 40 days ago we celebrated the miracle of Easter, when Jesus rose from the dead. On this day we celebrate his bodily departure from Earth to return to His Father in Heaven. President Trump writes:

On this special day, we are reminded that, for millions of Americans, the love of Christ gives our lives—and our country—the deepest meaning, purpose, and identity. As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom and independence, we remember that America remains a great Nation because the United States has always been a Nation blessed by God.

Congress has STILL not addressed the very simple SAVE America Act requiring that one be a Citizen of the United States of America and show their ID in order to vote in US elections. This is, at a minimum, an 80/20 issue with the 80 (or more) being YES to ID and Citizenship for voting. So exactly what are they being paid to do? Thwart the will of We The People? And let's add the fact that none of the democrats showed up to the covid whistleblower hearing. They keep taking so much time off and accomplishing virtually nothing. It seems every bill takes multiple votes. They don't drop a bill when it does not have the votes to pass, they keep discussing it and voting on it over and over. That nonsense needs to stop.

The SENATE convened at 10am and adjourned at 2:45pm. Next meeting is 3pm on May 18, 2026.

The Senate made one vote today, they combined all of President Trump's nominees into one motion. This decision was agreed to in a 51 to 46 vote with 3 members not voting.

This does not mean the nominees are "approved" at this point. It only means that the Senate has agreed to vote upon all of them at once "En Bloc" - the nominees are not yet approved. I suspect that will happen on Monday after the Senate takes another 3-day weekend.

The HOUSE convened at 10am and adjourned at 8:10pm. Next meeting is 9am on May 15, 2026.

The House discussed 5 bills:

* HCR75 - Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
* HR5625 - Cashless Bail Reporting Act

President Trump's Presidential Actions published in the Federal Register (FR) to date:

258 Executive Orders

On May 14, 2026, the FR published the Proclamation 11029 Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2026 signed May 11, 2026 (discussed in my May 12, 2026 ANP Article).

On May 14, 1804, the newly formed Corps of Discovery (later called the Lewis and Clark Expedition) set forth on an expedition to explore and detail as much of the recently acquired terrain of the Louisiana Purchase. The Corps was led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark. Together with 20 US Army and civilian volunteers, Clark set forth from Camp Dubois (aka Camp Wood), Illinois meeting Lewis and another 10 US Army and civilian volunteers in St Charles, Missouri. The Corps traveled up the Missouri River, crossed the Continental Divide of the Americas near the Lemhi Pass. In November, they reached Knife River Village (aka North Dakota) where they met Sacagawea and her fur-trader husband Touissaint Charbonneau and their newborn baby. The couple joined the expedition as interpreters. Eventually, they arrived at the Columbia River and from there first sighted the Pacific Ocean in Oregon on November 7, 1805. It took another 2 weeks to actually arrive at the ocean.

The Corps then had to construct lodging, which they called Fort Clatsop in Oregon. They overwintered at Fort Clatsop where Lewis did most of his writing about the journey. On March 23, 1806, the Corps left Fort Clatsop headed back to their starting point arriving September 23, 1806. The Corps traveled approximately 10,600 miles, 85%, over 9,000 miles were by boat. The Corps spent 862 days exploring a passage through the new Louisiana Purchase.

This exploration of the Louisiana Purchase set about to 1) find a commerce route through navigable waterways across the continent that would avoid the hot and desolate southwest desert, 2) establish an American presence in the newly acquired lands before anyone else could do so (like the European powers), 3) document the biodiversity, topography, and geography of the newly acquired western lands, and 4) establish positive trade relations with Native American tribes living in the region.

The Corps carried Indian Peace Medals inscribed with a message of friendship and peace made out of silver. The Medals had a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on them (reminding me of how President Trump is putting his name on things today). These Medals were to be distributed to the North American Indian tribes as the Corps traveled across the territory.

On May 14, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition celebrating the 222nd anniversary of the successful Expedition forever altering the destiny of our Nation. President Trump writes:

Their discoveries unlocked the American West and showed a young Nation that there was no frontier too vast, no wilderness too challenging, and no dream beyond reach. Through their unmatched courage and perseverance, Lewis and Clark forged the pioneering spirit that drove millions of Americans westward, fulfilling our Manifest Destiny and carrying the promise of prosperity to the far corners of our continent.
As we commemorate the anniversary of Lewis and Clark’s Expedition and celebrate 250 years of American independence, we honor the generations of Americans who pushed the limits of possibility and expanded the boundaries of our Republic. Together, we renew our enduring commitment to pursuing new frontiers of innovation and greatness, honoring the bold spirit of those who came before us, and ensuring that America remains strong, prosperous, and free for generations to come.

Leftism: A Religious Cult For Psychopaths And Crazies - Indoctrination, Humiliation, Subjugation, Hysteria, Lunacy, And, Ultimately, Genocide

Leftism: A Religious Cult For Psychopaths And Crazies - Indoctrination, Humiliation, Subjugation, Hysteria, Lunacy, And, Ultimately, Genocide

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

Two recent news stories out of Dying Europe caught my attention. One involves the racial indoctrination of toddlers; the other involves punishing elderly citizens for their role in causing “climate change.” Together, they show how leftist-globalism behaves as a parasite from cradle to grave.

First, in Wales, the leftist-globalist Labour government is using taxpayer money to train childcare workers how to identify and report “racist incidents.” The initiative teaches adults in charge of nurseries, play groups, and early education centers what constitutes “white privilege” and when young children should be reported to government authorities for exhibiting “racist” behaviors amounting to “hate crimes.” Workers are encouraged to discuss “racism,” “skin color,” and the benefits of “diversity” with toddlers. They are also required to formally “log” child-to-child interactions that might be “racist” in nature and merit later police involvement.

This latest crackdown on baby racism follows similar childhood indoctrination campaigns in not-so-Great Britain, including: (1) warnings to schools that children’s artwork, music, and dance might be “blasphemous” under Islamic law; (2) lesson plans that celebrate illegal immigrants arriving in the U.K. by boat; (3) government mandates requiring teachers to “monitor and report anti-Muslim hostility” in their classrooms; (4) the rollout of a government-created video game that warns children that they may be “terrorists” for questioning mass immigration; and (5) a government investigation of a child who asked his school teachers why he had to celebrate Ramadan when he is not a Muslim.

The leftist-globalist Labour government is crazy. All of this race-based indoctrination would constitute child endangerment in a country that hasn’t lost its collective mind. I don’t know how the United Kingdom can pretend to be “united” much longer. I don’t know how Great Britain can pretend to be “great” for another week. The British Empire is dead. Whatever residual civilization it still possessed is poisoned, foaming at the mouth, and writhing on a disgusting bathroom floor.

Not to be outdone by the leftist-globalist Brits, the leftist-globalist Danes want to punish old people for the “crime” of…checking my notes to confirm this lunacy…“causing climate change.” That’s right, Denmark’s loony-leftist “green” party believes government-run nursing homes should limit residents’ meat rations to a scant 2.8 ounces per week! Why? As one leftist commissar explains, “It is precisely the generation that has screwed up the most.”

Consider how malevolent a person must be to believe that it is sane and rational to publicly defend a program designed to starve the oldest members of society as some kind of misguided retribution for politically-constructed (and totally imaginary) “crimes.” When an entire leftist-globalist political movement espouses similarly genocidal beliefs, we have a real problem.

As writer Samuel Short sagely observes, “Climate hysteria is pure evil, masquerading as concern for the environment.” Leftist-globalists have invented a problem not grounded in scientific reality — that humanity’s meat consumption and use of hydrocarbon energies are causing the planet to die. In order to tackle this imaginary problem, leftist-globalists want to ration all food and energy. It is the most obvious and evil stratagem for creating large-scale, centralized government institutions vested with the authority to spy on and regulate every detail of every person’s life. Furthermore, it gives leftist-globalist governments total control over who will live or die. Denmark’s leftists-globalists are saying the quiet part out loud: Old people will be among the first to be culled in the name of “climate science.”

Does anybody have any trouble understanding that this is indistinguishable from Aztec priests engaging in mass human sacrifice to appease their gods? The “climate change” crazies have made Mother Earth their goddess and “net-zero” carbon emissions their religion. And leftist-globalist political priests are willing to sacrifice any of us to prove their devotion to unscientific delusions that they worship as part of a sick and twisted misanthropic faith.

Genocide did not stop after the Holocaust. War did not stop after the Second World War. Armies, militias, cartels, gangs, and tribes have been killing each other all over the planet every single year any of us has been alive. In these murderous conflicts, terrible crimes are committed. Mass slaughters occur each week in parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and fresh bodies fill newly-dug mass graves. Yet even with such present evil as a constant reminder of how wicked we humans can be, leftist-globalists cavalierly suggest restricting the diets of older people in order to punish them for “changing” the climate.

Due to the globalists war on truth, ANP must depend on reader donations to keep the website active. Anything ANP readers can do to help is greatly appreciated.

When leftist-globalists insist on assigning culpability for their own mass delusional psychoses, the rest of us should pay attention! Every genocide begins with one lie: Those people over there shouldn’t be regarded as human. Right now, the people being designated as sub-human live in nursing homes in Denmark. New categories of sub-humans will be conjured from thin air as leftist-globalist politicians require new human sacrifices to appease their false gods.

In its essence, leftist-globalism is a psychopathic religion. It cannot countenance argument or dissent. Everyone must be forced to believe in the exact same things. In Wales, leftist-globalists indoctrinate toddlers to fear “white supremacy” and to love Islam, “multiculturalism,” and “diversity.” In Denmark, leftist-globalists indoctrinate citizens to fear “climate change” and to hate older citizens for their “climate crimes.”

These are cult-like conditioning programs meant to trap human minds in a permanent state of suicidal self-delusion. Instead of “drinking the Kool-Aid,” toddlers are given daily diets of everything is racist! Instead of cutting out the hearts of human sacrifices to appease certain Aztec gods, today’s leftist-globalists sacrifice people over a certain age by denying them meat. It’s crazy, irrational dogma used to indoctrinate people from cradle to grave. Neither Jim Jones nor Aztec priests, however, are leading this lunacy. Instead, leftist-globalist governments are spreading this madness.

As if putting an exclamation point behind this last point, election news from the United Kingdom drives home the insanity of leftist-globalism today. After Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leftist-globalist Labour Party suffered humiliating losses in local elections across the soon-to-be-Islamic State of Britain-istan, did the nation’s wimpy, wokey “leader” recognize that voters are incredibly concerned about the society-wide harms from mass immigration? Of course not. Instead, Starmer gave a speech denouncing “far-right” political factions in the U.K. as “un-British.” That’s right, the prime minister claimed that British citizens who resist Islamic conquest are not “real Brits.” Yowzers. “We are not just facing dangerous times, but dangerous opponents,” Starmer announced, before defending foreign nationals and demonizing British citizens. When the prime minister is more concerned about illegal aliens than his own people, the British people really don’t have a prime minister.

Meanwhile, a “transgender” Indian immigrant who is neither a citizen nor a permanent resident of the U.K. was just elected to the Scottish parliament as a member of the leftist-globalist Green Party. In his victory speech, Scotland’s newest representative announced, “I am a transgender Tamil immigrant, my pronouns are they/them…I am, to some in this country, everything that the hateful despise, and I’m standing here as your MSP now with care.” Could this be what Starmer’s “far-right” bogeymen call “demographic replacement”? Because it looks like in-your-face-subjugation to me.

But that’s leftist-globalism in a nutshell. It’s not, to use traitor Starmer’s own words, “progressive leadership.” It’s indoctrination. It’s humiliation. It’s subjugation. It’s hysteria. It’s lunacy. Ultimately, however, it’s a prescription for genocide. Because no government can force sane people to believe such insane things. For insanity to prevail, rational people must be eliminated. Only then can leftist-globalists rule over a “land of crazy.”

President Trump In China, Women's Health Week, Support For Law Enforcement, America250 Story Of The American Soldier, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 13, 2026, President Trump was received by China's representatives at his plane:

This was followed by a greeting with China's President Xi and an inspection of the troops.

The dignitaries then moved on to a bilateral meeting. The meeting opened with statements from President Xi then President Trump.

President Xi's remarks to open the meeting (0:14):

President Trump, I'm very pleased to meet you in Beijing. Welcome back to China after nine years. The whole world is watching our meeting. Currently, transformation not seen in a century is accelerating across the globe and the international situation is fluid and turbulent. The world has come to a new crossroads. Can China and the United States overcome the fusidities trap and create a new paradigm of major country relations? Can we meet global challenges together and provide more stability for the world? Can we in the interests of the well-being of our two peoples and the future of humanity build a brighter future together for our bilateral relations? These are the questions vital to history, to the world, and to the people. They are the questions of our times that you and I need to answer as leaders of major countries.

This year is the 250th anniversary of American independence. Congratulations to you and to the American people. I always believe that our two countries have more common interests than differences. Success in one is an opportunity for the other and a stable bilateral relationship is good for the world. China and the United States both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. We should be partners, not rivals. We should help each other succeed and prosper together and find the right way for major countries to get along well with each other in the new era. Mr. President, I look forward to our discussions on major issues important to our two countries and the world and working together with you to set the course for and steer the giant ship of China US relations so as to make 2026 a historic landmark year that opens up a new chapter in China US relations.

President Trump's remarks (3:07):

Well, President Xi, I want to thank you very much. First of all, that was an honor like few have ever seen before. And I think I was particularly impressed by those children. They were happy. They were beautiful. The military is obvious. It couldn't be better. But those children were amazing and they represent so much and I know I know they represent so much to you. You and I have known each other now for a long time. In fact, the longest relationship of our two countries that any president and president has had and uh that's to me an honor. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've gotten along. When there were difficulties, we worked it out. I would call you and you would call me and whenever we had a problem, people don't know whenever we had a problem, we worked that out very quickly. We're going to have a fantastic future together. Such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth.

And I just want to say on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have, we have the greatest businessmen, the biggest and I guess the best in the world. We have amazing people and they're all with me. They every single one of them. We asked the top 30 in the world, every single one of them said yes. And I didn't want the second or the third in the company. I wanted only the top. And they're here today to pay respects to you and to China. and they look forward to trade and doing business and it's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf. So I really look very much forward to our discussion. It's a big discussion. There are those that say this is maybe the biggest summit ever. They can never remember anything like it. It's I can say in the United States it's people aren't talking about anything else. But it's an honor to be with you. It's an honor to be your friend. and the relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before. Thank you very much.

On May 13, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on National Women’s Health Week reaffirming the Trump Administration's commitment to improving the health and well-being of American women. As part of the effort to Make America Healthy Again, the Trump Administration is confronting failures in American Health. They are working on making advancements for women's healthcare for prevention, early detection, and personalized treatment using scientific methods with integrity. President Trump writes:

My Administration is also working to ensure women have every resource available to protect and improve their health, ensuring real access to affordable care and accurate information that has the potential to transform lives. We are working to lower drug prices, improve price transparency, and confront the high out-of-pocket healthcare costs that burden women and their families. Through our Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing agreements and the launch of TrumpRx, we are delivering historic savings for the expensive, brand-name medicines—putting patients over profits.
American women deserve the very best when it comes to their healthcare, and my Administration will continue to deliver historic results for them. This week, we celebrate the incredible strides we have made and recommit to carrying this momentum forward like never before, forging a healthier future for every generation of women and girls.

On May 13, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump’s Unwavering Support for Law Enforcement is Making America Safe Again as we celebrate National Police Week, honoring the brave men and women who risk their lives daily to protect our citizenry. President Trump states that these heroes deserve to be respected, empowered, and supported. Due to the Trump Administration policies, law enforcement is back in control and it shows. Violent crime is down in major cities where law and order has been restored. The Trump Administration's commitment to law and order in our country can be seen in the actions taken: 1) imposing the death penalty for those who murder law enforcement officers/agents; 2) rescinding 'soft-on-crime' policies implemented by various Democrats; 3) empowering cities to clear their streets of disorderly vagrants; 4) restoring critical funding; 5) ending cashless bail; 6) dismissing DEI mandates and anti-police lawsuits; 7) restoring proactive policing and reclaiming law enforcement's authority; 8) sending Federal assistance in lawless areas; 9) reversing previous policies that denied law enforcement access to military surplus; 10) assistance removing criminal illegal aliens; and 11) removing restrictive consent decrees that allowed Federal micromanagement of law enforcement. The release concludes:

Under President Trump, America’s police are stronger, our communities are safer, and the results prove it.

A new lawsuit Gribbon [additional plaintiffs Prater, Hertlein, Custer, Boisrond, & Titko] v. Office of Personnel Management docket # 1:26-cv-01575 filed in District Court, District of Columbia on May 8, 2026 about DOGE at Social Security Administration where individuals who shared personal sensitive information with the U.S. government sued the Trump administration over DOGE's ability to gain access to information at the Social Security Administration. The lawsuit seeks the following relief:

certifying this case as a class action, designating Plaintiffs as Class Representatives, and appointing Plaintiffs’ counsel to represent the Class;
finding Defendants liable for their willful failure to ensure the security of Plaintiffs’ and Class Members’ PSI;
requiring Defendants to pay money damages, including actual and statutory damages, to Plaintiffs and Class Members;
declaring that the relevant conduct of Defendants is unlawful, and that Defendants shall indemnify and hold harmless any Class Member who has sustained or will sustain economic injury as a result of the unauthorized disclosures;
enjoining Defendants to extend free lifetime identity theft and fraud protection services, including credit monitoring and identity theft insurance, to Plaintiffs and the Class;
awarding reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as may be permitted by law;
awarding pre-judgment and post-judgment interest as may be prescribed by law; and
granting such further and other relief as may be just and proper.
Plaintiffs hereby demand a trial by jury on all issues so triable.

Attorneys for the Plaintiffs are from Mason & Perry LLP and Merhi & Skalet, PLLC both law firms are based in DC.

We have all seen the memes going around showing how many people over the age of 100 are on the social security payment rolls and are currently receiving monthly payments from social security (see image below for an example). I am all for DOGE having access to ALL social security records to remove those no longer living from the social security rolls, remove duplicate recipients, and remove recipients who are not supposed to be receiving benefits at all (like illegal aliens).

The White House, in partnership with Hillsdale College and the US Department of Education, has published a series of videos for America250 called The Story of America. This video is from the that series and is called Story of the American Soldier narrated by Michael Knowles. Here is the transcript of the video posted below:

Just over 231,000 men served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and only 48,000 ever served at the same time. How many can you name? George Washington probably comes to mind, maybe Hamilton, Lafayette. If you're a real history buff, you might remember Nathaniel Green or John Stark. How about all the others? Who remembers the ordinary soldiers who won our independence?
I'm Michael Knowles, and I remember one of those soldiers. Not because he led a famous regiment or went on to hold any high office. There's no monument to his service other than a small headstone in a far-flung cemetery with a simple four-word epitaph.
Soldier of the Revolution
And I remember that soldier because he's my great-great-great great-great-grandpa Simon Knowles. Like most Continental soldiers Simon's name appears in the appendix of a history book. If not for a single army pension application written almost 50 years after the fact, no one would know a thing about his service. But Providence and Congress so arranged things that we do know about his services and the service of tens of thousands of his fellow rank and file soldiers.
Simon signed up to fight at the tender age of 15. And he served throughout the entire war, from the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, across the Delaware with Washington to the Battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Saratoga, through the bitter winter at Valley Forge, all the way through final victory at Yorktown, and then to an honorable discharge once again with Washington at Newburgh in 1783.
After the war, Simon, like most of his fellow veterans, became a farmer. He didn't own much. His estate comprised of a heifer, a sword from his father, and a walking cane. Personal effects all of the value of one dollar. This relative poverty, common among the men who won the revolution, was a hardship for him, but a blessing to us. Because it prompted these patriots to detail their service in official government documents in exchange for a modest stipend in their old age.
But money was never a top priority for these men. The teenagers and 20-somethings who enlisted and re-enlisted in the Continental Army might have done so with the promise of pay, but that pay rarely came on time. Even when it did, it was worth less than the paper it was printed on. A wagonload of Continental dollars would hardly buy a wagonload of provisions. The men were paid as though they were volunteers, but they were expected to fight like a professional army.
General Stark trained his men in the finer points of warfare, including the bayonet, which astonished the Hessians in the surprise attack at Trenton. Hessian survivors recounted that the American troops charged with a ferocity and discipline more characteristic of elite European forces than of a ragtag New World militia. These ordinary soldiers' skill in battle was all the more impressive, given the fact that they were usually starving.
At Valley Forge, during the winter of 1777 to 1778, meat and bread all but disappeared. The men lived on fire cakes, flour and water paste, for days on end. The most common refrain from the feeble huts that lined the camp was, no meat. Joseph Plum Martin was 17 years old when he encamped at Valley Forage. He wrote in The Adventures of a Revolutionary Soldier:
Oftentimes have I gone one, two, three, even four days without a morsel
unless the fields or forests might chance to afford enough to prevent absolute starvation.
Often, when I have picked the last grain from the bones of my scanty morsel,
have I eaten the very bones, as much of them as possibly could be eaten,
and then have had to perform some hard and fatiguing duty.
One in six soldiers died that winter. Those who survived the bullets and bayonets of the British, as well as the constant malnutrition, disease, dysentery, typhus, smallpox, and exposure. General Washington reported that by late December of that year, not less than 2,898 men were unfit for duty by reason of their being barefoot and otherwise naked. Many couldn't walk on their frost-bitten feet. And Valley Forge wasn't even the coldest winter.
Two years later, during the winter of 1779 to 1780, One sentry froze to death at his post in Morristown, New Jersey. When the Continental soldiers weren't freezing, they were dropping from heat stroke. At the Battle of Monmouth in June of 1778, countless soldiers collapsed and dozens died from heat exhaustion. One sergeant recalled that the sun-baked soldiers drank from mud puddles as they ducked British cannonballs.
But the endless suffering was only one part of the story and the minor part at that. The crucial fact of that battle of the whole revolution, really, was that the Americans stood their ground. Before the British slunk away, the Patriots had proved that they could face the finest army on Earth in open battle despite an incomparable disadvantage in training and supplies.
Unfortunately, the morale boost did not improve material conditions on the ground. When soldiers ran out of food in Maine during Colonel Arnold's expedition to Quebec, They boiled leather for soup. After seven days, with no kind of nourishment but roots and black birch bark, Private William Beggs recalled his party of soldiers ate a stray horse, and they were lucky to have found him.
On the Sullivan campaign in 1779, soldiers had to settle for horse feed, as overstretched supply lines reduced them to half rations without flour. And still, they managed to rout Tory rangers and their Iroquois allies at the Battle of Newtown, a major military victory, albeit one that cost them their clothes. One private, Nathan Davis, recalled that his uniform had been cut to rags by marching through woods and thickets. Many men walked bare-chested. The lucky ones wore Indian leggings. Some wore little more than loincloths, but they had broken the Indian strength. And advanced the Army's campaign.
Occasionally, troops mutinied. Who could blame them? But most did not. In Simon's New Hampshire line, no major mutiny ever broke out. These men had not signed up for good food, warm clothes, or pity parties. But they enlisted with a purpose, to defend their country. And the defense of one's country entails sacrifice.
Modern people sometimes struggle to believe that others are not as cynical as they themselves. They believe that all human action must derive from selfish, material interest. The ordinary soldiers who signed up to fight for American independence confound these cynics because they didn't stand to gain much of anything, at least materially, for their troubles. What motivated them was more valuable, honor, virtue, ideals. Ensign Samuel Cooper wrote in a Letter to His Wife dated July 1775:
The dangers we are to encounter I know not,

but it shall never be said to my children,

your father was a coward.
These soldiers took leave of their families, some of whom disagreed even with the cause of independence. They endured and overcame their hardships for, In the words of Massachusetts soldier James Davenport wrote in a Letter to His Brother on April 14, 1783:
Liberty, peace, and independence forever.
If the soldiers had one fear, it was the indifference of their countrymen, that their sacrifices would be in vain, and their cause soon forgotten. At Valley Forge, Dr. Albigens Waldo described the dread in his diary on December 14, 1777:
There comes a soldier. . . .
He comes, and cries . . .
I fail fast, I shall soon be no more!
And all the reward I shall get will be - poor Will is dead.
In 1780 the Continental Congress voted to give a reward, at least to officers who had served in the Revolution. Half pay for life, a courtesy later amended to full pay for five years. The ordinary soldier, on the other hand, returned home with next to nothing, worthless promissory notes and a pat on the back. It took an additional 38 years, and for most soldiers more than half a century for Congress finally to offer a reward to the destitute veterans who had not already died. Even in their old age and penury, these veterans once again gave their country a greater gift than anything they received in return. They told us who they were and what they did. And not one of their names was ordinary. No man is ordinary. Each man suffers and delights, fails and triumphs in his own way.
In the words of the poet of the revolution, Philip Freneau (published in The American Soldier):
Far, far from domes where splendid tapers glare,
'Tis his from dear bought peace no wealth to win,
Removed alike from courtly cringing 'squires,
The great man's levy and the proud man's grin.
Sold are those arms which once on Britain's blazed,
When, flushed with conquest, to the charge they came;
That power repelled, and
Freedom's fabrick raised,
She leaves her soldier - famine, and a name.

My 4th great-grand-uncle, Starling Gunn (1764-1852), fought for the Virginia Militia. He is known for firing the fist cannon during the Battle of York and was an eyewitness to the surrender of Cornwallis. Both of these events are recorded on his tombstone:

In addition, the Daughters of the American Revolution planted a tree near the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon. A box of soil from the grave of Starling Gunn in Caswell County, North Carolina was taken to Virginia as North Carolina's contribution to the tree-planting ceremony.

Starling's father, my 5th great-grandfather, Thomas Gunn (1738-1800), furnished supplies for the Continental Army.

U.S. Supreme Court Clears Way For Alabama To Redraw Congressional Map As Race-Based Gerrymanders Ruled Unconstitutional

U.S. Supreme Court Clears Way For Alabama To Redraw Congressional Map As Race-Based Gerrymanders Ruled Unconstitutional

By John Oyewale (DCNF) - All News Pipeline

The U.S. Supreme Court Monday voided a lower court’s order for Alabama to use a recent congressional map with two majority-black congressional districts, paving the way for the state to drop one of the two districts ahead of the midterm elections.

The Court ruled that it “unceremoniously discard[ed]” the District Court order that barred Alabama from using a 2023 congressional map on the basis that the map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

The ruling follows the Court’s decision in the case involving Louisiana, in which the Court’s reinterpretation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act informed its May 4 ruling that a largely black U.S. House district in Louisiana was an unconstitutional race-based gerrymander.

Alabama had argued that their case mirrored Louisiana’s and that they wanted the same outcome, adding that their goal was to prioritize policy and not racial considerations, SCOTUSblog reported.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented, arguing that “there is no reason” for the Court to vacate the District Court order.

The District Court had ruled “that Alabama violated the Fourteenth Amendment by intentionally diluting the votes of Black voters in Alabama,” the dissenting justices wrote in part.

“That constitutional finding of intentional discrimination is independent of, and unaffected by, any of the legal issues discussed in” the Louisiana case, they further argued.

That the Court threw out the lower court’s order was, therefore, “inappropriate and will cause only confusion as Alabamians begin to vote in the elections scheduled for next week,” according to the dissenting justices, who were referring to the May 19 primaries.

Alabama Republicans hailed the ruling, with the state’s Republican House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter calling the decision “a massive victory not just for Alabama, but for conservatives across the country,” the Associated Press (AP) reported.

The NAACP National President Derrick Johnson slammed the ruling as “a return to Jim Crow,” according to the outlet.

“[A]nybody who is alarmed by these developments — as everybody should be — better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness while we still can,” Johnson said.

President Trump Departs For China After Press Gaggle, FLOTUS 180 Day Accomplishments, America250 Benjamin Franklin, And More

President Trump Departs For China After Press Gaggle, FLOTUS 180 Day Accomplishments, America250 Benjamin Franklin, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 12, 2026, President Trump is on his way to China to meet with China's President.

Before he boarded the aircraft, President Trump briefly answered reporters' questions. Let's remember that President Trump is on his way to CHINA to meet with President Xi. So what do you think the propaganda media asked about? Let's take their questions, rearrange them into categories, and end with the questions about China:

LOONY LEFT IN THE MILITARY

The propaganda media asked if President Trump was comfortable with people serving in the military if they personally oppose the Iran war or you? President Trump responded that it doesn't mean I'm happy about it, but I live with a lot of different things I'm not happy about.

AFRICA DAY

The propaganda media asked if President Trump would do something special for Africa Day, May 25th, like an interview to speak about the President's views. The question was ignored as he moved on to the next reporter yelling at him.

NATO/OPEC

The propaganda media asked What is more broken NATO or OPEC? On OPEC President Trump responded that OPEC is having some difficulty right now but that has nothing to do with me. On NATO he said they were not there when we wanted them and that was disappointing, while reiterating that we don't need them.

STATE TAX ON GASOLINE

The propaganda media asked if state governors should drop state taxes on oil, would you ask them to do that? President Trump responded that dropping state taxes on oil would be a great idea.

INFLATION

The propaganda media asked Are your policies not working? The reporter prefaced the question by stating that inflation is at its highest level in 3 years. President Trump explained that his policies were working incredibly because just before the Iranian conflict started inflation was at 1.7%. But, a choice had to be made between letting Iran have a nuclear weapon or suffering a spike in inflation for a short time. Then he said:
3:41 If you want to do that, then you're a stupid person, and you happen to be. I mean, I know you very well.
Before continuing by saying that even though the stock market was predicted to fall a few points, it did not. In fact, it gained.
The propaganda media asked about the pressure on Americans and prices right now? As the President was attempting to answer the reporter's question, the reporter kept interrupting prompting the President to comment:
15:31 Are you . . . Are you listening to me?
Which got the reporter to stop interrupting, so he could answer that Americans understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He explained that when the conflict with Iran is over, the price of oil will drop and the stock market will go through the roof.

FDA COMMISSIONER

The propaganda media asked Did you ask Marty McCary to resign, sir, or did you fire? To which President Trump explained that McCary's resignation was for personal reasons and his assistant will step in to run the FDA.

BALLROOM

The propaganda media asked How's that different than your ballroom? So what happened is uh we have a ballroom that's under budget and because of need, the size has doubled. The reporter was interrupting him so he said
6:31 I doubled the size of it. You dumb person. Double the size. You are You are not a smart person.
Then continued to explain the ballroom, even though they doubled the size, was on budget, under budget, and ahead of schedule. When completed it will be appropriate for the white house.

ELECTIONS/REDISTRICTING

The propaganda media asked Would you send the National Guard or ICE to voting locations in November? To which President Trump explained that he would do anything necessary to have honest elections. We have to have honest elections.
The propaganda media asked to voters who are confused about the changing maps, the changing dates, and to African-Americans concerned that this is going to draw black members of Congress off the map what do you say? President Trump responded that dumocrats (because they are dumb) redistricted for years, now it's the turn of the Republicans. We want fair voting. We want fair elections. The Democrats have been cheating on elections for many years and all we're doing is winning.

CUBA

The propaganda media asked Does the president of Cuba have his days numbered? To which President Trump responded that it's a failed nation, they are not doing well; but, he would talk about Cuba at the right time (implying that asking about Cuba when he's on his way to China is not the right time).

VENUEZELA

The propaganda media stated some Venezuelans are concerned that there are some political prisoners still in their prisons, then asked Would you do something about that? President Trump responded that we would work with Venezuela's new government to get all the political prisoners out of prison. A lot of those political prisoners have already been released and the Trump Administration is working with Venezuela to release the rest.

Mark Stone from Sky News Australia asked what advice President Trump has for the UK Prime Minister. President Trump responded that his advice has always been for the UK to open their oil rigs in the North Sea that they are not using. And then for the UK to get tough on immigration.
Mark Stone then followed up with Should he stay or go? President Trump explained that whether the Prime Minister stays or goes is up to him. President Trump said he has already told the Prime Minister that the UK is getting killed on energy. The pressure for the Prime Minister to go is coming from his opposition.

UKRAINE

The propaganda media asked Will you be able to talk about the end of the war in Ukraine? To which President Trump replied that he thought the end of the war in Ukraine is very close.

RUSSIA

The propaganda media asked Has there been any understanding between you and Putin that Russia should get entire Donetsk? President Trump unequivocally answered NO.
The propaganda media asked You have a standing invitation to travel to Russia. Do you think it might happen this year? President Trump answered that he will do whatever is necessary. He reminded the reporter that he has already settled 8 wars and he thinks the Russia-Ukraine war is close to a settlement.
The propaganda media asked Are you ready to extend a waiver on sanctioned Russian oil to ease the global crude prices? President Trump responded that as soon as the conflict with Iran is over, gas prices will drop. That inflation, while high, is still lower than it was under the autopen administration.

IRAN

The propaganda media yelled Iran. President Trump explained (multiple times throughout the 17 minutes of questions) that Iran's military is gone, wiped out. They will make a deal and he will make sure that deal is good for both the American people and the Iranian people.
The propaganda media asked Are you reconsidering the Pakistanis as mediators? President Trump answered NO. Both the Field Marshall and the Prime Minister of Pakistan have been absolutely great during the peace negotiations.
The propaganda media asked What is going to be your red line to end to end the ceasefire for you? What will it take to pull the plug? President Trump responded that he is thinking about that. The blockade is very effective. However, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And Iran knows that is a non-negotiable point for any peace agreement. Iran is currently playing games and President Trump does not play games.
The propaganda media asked just to clarify, did you say did you say earlier that the only thing that matters to you when it comes to Iran is a nuclear weapon? You're not considering the financial impact of this war on Americans? President Trump replied that the most important thing is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. We will recover from this short-term inflation but no one is safe if Iran has a nuclear weapon.

CHINA/IRAN

The propaganda media asked What is your message to President Xi as it relates to the Iran war? President Trump said they would have a long talk about the conflict in Iran. China gets a lot of their oil from the area that is currently blockaded. However, he thinks the trip will be exciting and that a lot of good things will happen.
The propaganda media asked Do you think he (President Xi) needs to intervene at all with the Iranian help in any way? President Trump responded to this with a resounding NO. We don't need help with Iran. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, every element of their war machine is gone. We are going to win.
The propaganda media asked Is President Xi the person to bring it (the ceasefire) back to life, it's on life support? President Trump sidestepped this question by stating he would have a great meeting with President Xi in China.
The propaganda media asked Do you think he's (President Xi) got what it takes to convince the Iranians? President Trump is sure that President Xi will do whatever he can.
The propaganda media followed up with Do you think President Xi can help and contribute to a deal with Iran? President Trump answered he could. But added that he thinks we don't need help finishing Iran.
The propaganda media asked Will China negotiating with Iran? Mr. President, to what extent are Americans financial situations motivating you to make a deal? President Trump answered that the only thing that matters with Iran is that they cannot have a nuclear weapon. He stated that he does not include American financial situations when he thinks about ending the conflict with Iran. The only thing that matters is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

And finally, questions about the visit to CHINA!

The propaganda media asked message sir to the Chinese people as you embark on this summit? President Trump replied that he is looking forward to a great relationship with China for many decades to come. President Xi will be coming to the US towards the end of 2026, so that will be exciting. President Trump lamented that the ballroom will not be ready when that happens.
The propaganda media asked do you believe your visit to China will impact of international economy and price of oil? President Trump predicted it's going to be positive. They will have a very good meeting. It's going to be great.
The propaganda media asked what is the ultimate goal of your trip to China? President Trump said:
I think more than anything else we have massive relationship with China with the two superpowers. We we're the strongest nation on earth in terms of military. China's considered. Who knows? I mean, who knows? But we are. There's nobody even to come close. And you see that whether it's Venezuela or whether it's Iran. Iran's military is decimated. I have a great relationship with President Xi and I think it's going to remain that way. We have a lot of things to discuss. I wouldn't say Iran is one of them to be honest with you because we have Iran very much under control. We're either going to make a deal or they're going to be decimated. So one way or the other we win. What about we're going to be talking with President Xi about a lot of different things. I would say more than anything else will be trade.

It never ceases to amaze me how the propaganda media does not care WHY they are at a press conference as long as they get to ask their biased questions pushing their biased agenda. Instead of asking about the purpose at hand (in this case the China visit), they want to cover 15 other topics instead.

On May 12, 2026, the Office of the First Lady published the statement First Lady Melania Trump’s 10 Achievements Transforming Outcomes for Foster Youth Since the Signing the Fostering the Future Executive Order 180 Days Ago which just happens to coincide with National Foster Care Month. Mrs Trump has been instrumental in 1) establishing the Fostering the Future Fund, 2) creating a new Fostering the Future Digital Platform, 3) investing in the Melania Trump Foster Youth to Independence Program, 4) championing new Foster Care Legislation, 5) protecting social security benefits earned for foster youth, 6) expanding access to family are in 19 states through Fostering the Future aligned partnerships, 7) enhancing benefits to Support Foster and Adoptive Families, 8) leveraging faith partners to help youth access more housing options, 9) launching a child welfare technology incubator, and 10) increasing transparency through a new data dashboard. In addition, Mrs Trump has worked with HHS, HUD, Department of the Treasury, Dept of Ed, and OPM to provide more pathways for young people leaving foster care. The statement concludes:

As the Trump Administration continues to implement the Fostering the Future Executive Order championed by First Lady Melania Trump, these efforts remain guided by a single, unifying goal: delivering lasting, meaningful change for young people with experience in foster care and families across America.

Neither chamber of Congress has addressed the SAVE America Act that We The People (and taxpaying citizens) want passed. I hope every congress member who voted against, or is working to sabotage this legislation is voted out of office come November!

The SENATE convened at 10am and adjourned at 6:28pm. Next meeting is 10am on May 13, 2026. They held 2 votes:

Vote # 116 (51-45) - Confirmed On the Nomination - PN855-2 Kevin Warsh, of Florida, to be a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for a term of fourteen years from February 1, 2026.
Vote # 117 (51-45) - Agreed to On the Cloture Motion - PN855-1 Kevin Warsh, of Florida, to be Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for a term of four years. This simply means that they have agreed to hold a vote to confirm the nomination. My guess is that an actual confirmation vote will be held tomorrow when they next meet

HR1252 Resolution memorializing law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
HR1259 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should prioritize securing the release of Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai detained by the People's Republic of China during future engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping (i.e., they want to tell the President how to conduct foreign affairs)

A new lawsuit Cultural Landscape Foundation v. Department of the Interior docket # 1:26-cv-01593 filed in District Court, District of Columbia on May 11, 2026 about The Reflecting Pool where The Cultural Landscape Foundation sued the Department of the Interior over the resurfacing of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The lawsuit seeks the following relief:

Declare that Defendants’ commencement and continued execution of the Reflecting Pool basin resurfacing without initiating and completing the Section 106 consultation process required by 54 U.S.C. § 306108 and 36 C.F.R. Part 800 violates the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act;
Set aside any authorization, determination, or agency decision approving or implementing the Reflecting Pool basin resurfacing that was issued without completion of the Section 106 and NEPA process;
Temporarily, preliminarily, and permanently enjoin Defendants from taking any further steps to alter the Reflecting Pool until Defendants have completed a lawful Section 106 consultation process as prescribed by 36 C.F.R. Part 800 and a NEPA review prescribed by 42 U.S.C. § 4336;
Issue a temporary stay of agency action and such other appropriate relief as necessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 705; require Defendants to formally initiate the Section 106 and NEPA review process before any further physical alteration of the Reflecting Pool basin proceeds;
Require Defendants to restore the historic elements of the Reflecting Pool;
Award Plaintiffs their costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412(b) and other applicable law; and
Grant such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

In addition, the plaintiffs filed for a restraining order to stop the restoration of the Reflecting Pool:

Without awaiting response from Defendants, a temporary restraining order immediately halting the resurfacing of the Reflecting Pool basin;
An order directing Defendants to file any brief in opposition to this motion on or before Monday, May 18, with oral argument scheduled as expeditiously as possible thereafter; and
A preliminary injunction enjoining Defendants from adding paint or resurfacing the Reflecting Pool basin until further order of the Court.

And with the restraining order, they included a document for the judge to sign to implement their demanded restraining order. The judge doesn't have to review anything, the judge only needs to sign what is presented as part of the request for the restraining order.
This suit is brought by the Washington Litigation Group based in Washington DC; however, one of the attorneys, Alexander Kristofcak D.D.C. Bar No. NY0717, (who happens to be listed first) is only admitted to serve in California and New York, so there is a special note that he is practicing in DC under the supervision of DC Bar members (I'm guessing the other 2 attorneys listed in the filing: Joseph Mead D.C. Bar No. 1740771 and Nathaniel A.G. Zelinsky D.C. Bar No. 1724093).

Basically, the lawsuit says the original Reflecting Pool was colored grey, so how dare they change it to blue. Do you think when the pool was first created that if the creators had the opportunity to make the surface of the pool blue like water they would have? I think so. But they did not have the industrial capability back then to do it in a lasting way, so they stuck with the industrial grey.

Of course, they filed this in the activist DC courts, so you know a restraining order will be issued.

In my April 24, 2026 ANP Article reporting on the Reflecting Pool Refurbishment, I wrote:
Expect lawsuits. Probably something about the competitive bidding process. Or, like the Ballroom, about the approval process.
Then in my May 8, 2026 ANP Article, I wrote:
. . . the work is almost complete! And the restoration has moved so quickly the lawsuits have not yet hit the court system!

But now that the process is almost completed, a lawsuit has entered the court system. However, my prediction of filing to stop the work due to both the competitive bidding process and the approval process are borne out in the lawsuit demands. I hope President Trump can speed up the restoration process so that the job is completed before the restraining order can be issued!

Although I already wrote about Benjamin Franklin as a Patriot of the Day in my August 1, 2025 ANP Article, the White House has published a new video: The Story of America: Benjamin Franklin as part of its America250 series. This video enhances what I chose to include in my profile of Benjamin Franklin. Here is the transcript of the video below:

There's something about Benjamin Franklin that embodies the soul of America. He's a window into the American mind. It's not a stretch to call him a lawgiver in the ancient sense of one who helps to shape the character of a people and their habits. He preached a model of the self-made individual and he lived that story himself. His life from his birth in 1706 to his death in 1790 spanned the formation of the American nation as we know it. His self-described rags to rich's story begins in Puritan Boston. At the age of 12, he's indentured as a servant to his brother James whose a printer the New England current, a radical paper for the time. He anonymously penned the silence do good essays. He would slip them under the door of the print shop and those essays demonstrated his genius and keen insight into different character types.
He was impious and funny. In one letter, Silence describes losing her father who comes above deck to praise God for his safe travel across the Atlantic Ocean. And he's suddenly washed overboard by a huge wave. Franklin was stubborn and even a troublemaker. He liked to argue, to embarrass others in disputes and especially over religion and politics. And he mocked the Puritan establishment. But Ben's genius cost him both with the authorities and his brother, who placed Ben in charge of the paper when he was jailed for his politics. James was abusive and often beat his younger brother. And Franklin ran away, breaking the terms. As he puts it in the autobiography, he found himself in New York, nearly 300 miles from home, a boy of 17, but without the least recommendation or knowledge of any person in the place, and with very little money in his pocket. And so hungry and exhausted, he traveled to Philadelphia. And there he buys three bread rolls and he cuts an iconic figure. He's walking down Market Street, eating one of those bread rolls with another tucked under each arm.
As an 18-year-old, he embarked on a trip to London to acquire printing materials. But he found himself betrayed without credit and stranded. And while he learned much in London, Franklin was unsettled with the elements of his life. He records them as errata in his autobiography. He asked how he could be truly happy and achieve the greatest perfection possible.
At the age of 20, he wrote a plan of conduct on his voyage home to guide his future behavior with the goal of becoming, as he says, both good and great, both happy and esteemed in society. Calls it the favor of God and man. Ambition, he concluded, must be educated by a steady resolution to both industry and frugality. It required a material basis. And so rather than war against human nature, Franklin sought to cultivate it as one would a garden. And he gives the same example for Philadelphia, which he compares to a garden.
After acquiring the Pennsylvania Gazette, one of only two papers in the city, he launched the successful Poor Richard's Almanac. He included famous sayings to educate his readers, such as early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. To succeed in this new world, different virtues would be needed. And Franklin constructed a list of ancient Christian and commercial virtues. He combined them. And then he also added a method to achieve them. But importantly, he couldn't do it all alone. Humans, he wrote, were social creatures, both naturally selfish as well as benevolent. And the self-interested desires for profit and praise could be channeled into public projects that benefited everyone.
He helped to found the Junto, a group of young citizens who met to discuss philosophy, morals, and public improvement. They would present papers before everyone at their meetings. Thus, Franklin embodies another American ideal of civic associations, which forms the foundation of self-government and republican habits. He helped to initiate a a vibrant civil society, a subscription library, a fire brigade, a fire insurance company, the academy, a hospital, and a militia. He also embodies the American love affair with science. When he achieved leisure and retired early, Franklin turned to the study of the natural world, including what he called electrical fluid, famous kite experiment with lightning. His experiments introduced terms like battery and positive and negative charges that we use today.
But Franklin always insisted that questions of truth be connected with the human good. For example, knowledge of air flow to create a superior stove, the Franklin stove for heating homes. Knowledge of electricity to create lightning rods to prevent fires and death. Knowledge of the Gulf Stream to expedite travel across the Atlantic. His ideas about government included all the elements of the future American Republic. John Adams said that after reading Franklin's 1751 observations on the increase of mankind, he knew that separation from Britain was inevitable. James Madison said that Franklin's 1754 letters to William Shirley comprised the quote germ of American federalism. Franklin is including essays describing the separation of powers, the lawmaking authority, delegation doctrine.
In 1747 during King George's war, Franklin was in his 40s at the time. He applied his views of social contract to found the association. It was an extralegal militia to defend Pennsylvania from French pirates and hostile Indian tribes. Franklin was a soldier. We often don't think of him that way.
In 1751, Franklin was elected to the assembly. He sat on all of its standing committees. He drafted bills and responses to the governor during the tumultuous French and Indian War. Recognized for his genius, he became the leader of the popular party that disputed with the Pennsylvania proprietors over the rights of the legislature. He insisted on equality, that the laws must be for the good of the whole, as the foundation for justice was the good of the whole as opposed to the interest of a few. Under a new militia bill, Franklin was elected a colonel by the soldiers themselves and he led an expedition to build forts on the frontier.
In 1757, Franklin was sent by the assembly to England. There he's involved in the attempt to repeal the proprietary charter and to replace it with the royal charter. He thought he was entering the last act of his life, 1756, and he had reason to be ambitious. He had been made the deputy postmaster general of British North America and he aspired to be governor over a new colony in Ohio. But his mission to make Pennsylvania a royal colony faded in relief to growing quarrels over taxation with parliament. And Franklin wrote volumes of articles to defend the colonial rights to consent to tax measures.
And so from 1768 to 1770, he was appointed agent for Georgia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. He would always be an outsider in the British aristocratic society. And it all came to a head in 1773. Having secretly obtained letters from Governor Thomas Hutcherson of Massachusetts, he wanted to blame the imperial disputes on Hutcherson. Franklin sent them to leaders in the Massachusetts Assembly. But when the letters created a scandal, he had to admit that he had sent them. And so in the cockpit where Henry VIII had watched cock fights, Franklin was mocked for a solid hour by Solicitor General Alexander Wedderburn, very witty. And he did this in front of all of the British lords. And so Franklin stood there stone-faced, silent, refusing to respond. And so Franklin's career in Britain was over. He lost his position as postmaster and he returned to Pennsylvania in 1775. But he displayed another American characteristic. He reinvented himself.
Removing himself from public business for about a month, he met with those with whom he had been closest. Joseph Galloway in the Pennsylvania Assembly and his own son William who was governor of New Jersey and the three stayed up late drinking and Franklin then openly announced he was for independence. Neither agreed and it would be the end of their relationships. As a Tory, William encouraged acts of terror against Patriot Towns and Benjamin refused to intervene to release him from prison, his own son. Now Franklin took every opportunity he could to further the break between the two nations. He reorganized the postal system. This is all at the age of 70 and served on committees that oversaw petitions to the king, the manufacturer of salt peter for gunpowder, the printing of paper currency, colonial arms and defenses, Indian affairs, foreign affairs. Franklin drafted the Articles of Confederation. He was also reelected to the Pennsylvania Assembly. He was president of its constitutional convention, probably the most radical of all the new state constitutions, the 1776 constitution that had unicameral legislature. His eyes were so tired he could hardly write at night and eventually he resigned from several of those committees.
But in February 1776, he traveled on a failed, frozen mission to entice Canada to revolt with the colonies. He assumed he would die on the journey. It was Franklin's international reputation as a natural philosopher that proved most useful for American diplomacy. He gained access to leading men in foreign nations, Spain, Holland, France, to secretly fund the war. In June 1776, his French friend Jacques Barbeu-Dubourg secured a shipment of arms. The United States was caught between a rock and a hard place. It must declare independence to receive aid from France, but it must receive aid to declare independence. And Franklin was on the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence. Franklin made some key changes to Jefferson's draft. He changed the words sacred and inviable. We hold these truths to be self-evident, Franklin added. He changed Jefferson's words, reduced them to arbitrary power to reduce them under absolute desperatism.
And in his final key role, he accepted the mission to France. Franklin returned home in 1785. His last years were in public service as much as he wanted to retire. He was elected to three consecutive terms as governor and was a delegate to the 1787 constitutional convention. He endorsed the new constitution not as a perfect document but perhaps as the best that the founders were able. And finally, he made a motion, which was not passed, for the clergy, the clergy of the city of Philadelphia to lead the remaining sessions in prayer, lest the founders become, he says, like the builders of Babel. He said that during the revolution, the same men had prayed for unity, but now they mistakenly thought they could found a nation without divine aid. And it was a comment on the necessity of a pre-political faith and loyalty, a common belief that binds a people together and transcends their partisan interests.
Finally, Franklin agreed to be president of the Pennsylvania Society for promoting the abolition of slavery. Its 1790 petition brought heated debate in Congress. For a man who would own slaves and servants, it was a fitting end to a life that embodied Republican ideals of equality, liberty, and self-reliance.
Franklin was a true genius, a self-made man, a fervent Republican, and a man instrumental to the founding of the nation he so dearly loved.

Peace Officers Memorial Day And Police Week, Salvation Army Week, New Support For Families, America250 Fort Ticonderoga, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 11, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2026 paying tribute to those in law enforcement who devote their lives to safeguarding our communities as well as pay tribute to those who have fallen in the line of duty protecting their communities. The President and his Administration stand resolutely beside the families of those who lost their lives or have been injured while performing service to their community. President Trump and his Administration pledge to continue to support those who wear the badge. President Trump writes:

On this Peace Officers Memorial Day, we solemnly commemorate the officers who gave their lives in the line of duty across our Nation. Throughout Police Week, we honor the sacrifices of our law enforcement community and the families who stand beside them. United in gratitude, we recommit ourselves to supporting those who keep the peace in our neighborhoods, and we offer our heartfelt appreciation for the service they render to community and country. Their steady presence brings calm to our streets, their dedication preserves the order that allows our Nation to flourish, and their unwavering vigilance is the reason families across America can rest under the promise of a safer tomorrow.
By a joint resolution approved October 1, 1962, as amended (Public Law 87-726, 76 Stat. 676), and by Public Law 105-225 (36 U.S.C. 136-137), the President has been authorized and requested to designate May 15 of each year as “Peace Officers Memorial Day” and the week in which it falls as “Police Week.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 15, 2026, as Peace Officers Memorial Day and May 10 through May 16, 2026, as Police Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also call on the Governors of the States and Territories and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day.

On May 11, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on National Salvation Army Week commending the men and women who do impactful work through the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army was established in 1865 providing meals, shelter, security, and purpose to the weary who are trying to rebuild their lives (usually from hardship and/or addiction). President Trump writes:

Their work is a living testament to our Nation’s enduring traditions of generosity, goodwill, and volunteerism. For 250 years, our Nation has been defined by an unyielding spirit of sacrifice and service that has always called ordinary Americans to do extraordinary things for one another. During National Salvation Army Week, we carry that proud mission forward and pledge to always be a Nation devoted to “Doing the Most Good.”

I do want to point out that as I was searching for an appropriate video about the Salvation Army I excluded many of the videos I found because the Salvation Army has gone fully woke over the last few years.

On May 10, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on Mother’s Day which is a summary of the speech he gave at the Angel and Gold Star Mother's Day event in the Rose Garden on May 8, 2026 (discussed in my May 9, 2026 ANP Article). His message celebrates the women whose unconditional love steadies us through every season of life. He points out that mothers have a huge effect on who we become as adults. Mothers cultivate our strength, unlock our talents, and encourage us to reach higher than we ever thought possible. President Trump points out that mothers do more than raising strong families and wonderful children, they also have their own goals and ambitions. Many working mothers are in the Trump Administration and President Trump fully supports policies that allow mothers to be in the workforce without their families suffering because their moms work. President Trump writes:

Throughout every chapter of our national story, resilient mothers have defended our most cherished values and shaped the very fabric of our Republic. As we celebrate Mother’s Day and 250 years of independence, we honor every mother who has faithfully passed the flame of American values to the next generation. We especially pay tribute to the Gold Star Mothers whose children gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Above all, we treasure the mothers who teach us to honor our traditions, respect our great American Flag, and uphold the founding ideals that sustain our glorious way of life.

On May 11, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump Honors America’s Moms with New Support for Families where he announced new initiatives that will lower costs and expand access to fertility care while delivering support to mothers across America. New and expectant mothers can access Moms.gov where they can find essential resources as well as major childcare reforms that expand provider choice, empower stay-at-home parents, and increase access to resources. In addition, the website provides nutritional information, info on Trump Accounts (discussed in my July 16, 2025, August 30, 2025, and December 3, 2025 ANP Articles), and a link to TrumpRx (discussed in my February 7, 2026 and May 6, 2026 ANP Articles)

On May 11, 2026, President Trump hosted the 2026 National Football Champions, Indiana University, a team that was undefeated this season culminating with their first win at the 2026 National Football Champions. The team presented President Trump with a "47" Jersey, helmet, and football signed by the coach and team members. They also told President Trump he could keep their trophy. They started with speeches in the Rose Garden and ended with a tour of the Oval Office. The video below is a recap of their visit. You can watch the entire speech with presentations here.

It is becoming increasingly frustrating to see both chambers of Congress blatantly ignoring the Will of the Citizens of the United States of America for whom they are supposed to work! I hope more states follow the path blazed by Indiana and primary out all the current members of Congress who act against the Will of We The People (especially on 80/20 and 90/10 issues!).

The SENATE convened at 3pm and adjourned at 7:23pm. Next meeting is 10am on May 12, 2026. The Senate voted on 2 bills:

The HOUSE convened at 10:30am and adjourned at 10:33am. Next meeting is Noon on May 12, 2026. The House did no We The People business today.

On May 11, 2026, the White House published Congressional Bills S. 98 and S. 1020 Signed into Law:

S98 - Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2025 was introduced by Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) on January 15, 2025. The bill has 4 cosponsors (1 Republican and 3 Democrats). On April 20, the House voted then passed the bill back to the Senate. On April 30, 2026, the Senate presented the bill to the President who signed it May 11, 2026. The bill is summarized as follows:
This bill requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a process to vet applicants for certain funding programs that support affordable broadband deployment in high-cost areas, including rural communities.
Specifically, the FCC must conduct a rulemaking to develop a vetting process for applicants seeking funding under high-cost universal service programs for the deployment of a broadband-capable network and the provision of supported services over the network. The FCC must require applications for such funding to document each applicant’s technical, financial, and operational capabilities related to the proposed deployment, as well as a reasonable business plan.
The FCC must evaluate applications against reasonable and well-established standards and must consider each applicant’s history of compliance with the requirements of other government broadband funding programs. After the rulemaking is finalized, funds may only be awarded to applicants that satisfy the standards established therein.
Finally, the FCC must set financial penalties for applicants that default in some manner during the evaluation process before they are authorized to begin receiving support.
S1020 - A bill to require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the time period during which licensees are required to commence construction of certain hydropower projects was introduced by Steve Daines (R-MT) on March 13, 2025. The bill has 7 cosponsors (6 Republicans and 1 Democrat). On April 21, the House voted then passed the bill back to the Senate. On April 30, 2026, the Senate presented the bill to the President who signed it May 11, 2026. The bill is summarized as follows:
This bill authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend construction deadlines for hydropower projects that were issued a license before March 13, 2020. FERC is authorized, upon the request of the licensees, to extend the deadline for beginning construction on such projects an additional six years beyond the eight-year extension FERC is authorized to provide under current law. The extension must consist of no more than three consecutive two-year periods.
The bill also provides that FERC may reinstate certain expired licenses for projects with construction deadlines extended under this bill, effective as of the date they expire.

On May 11, 2026, the FR published the Presidential Notice Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen which was signed May 7, 2026 and sent straight to the FR for publication. This Notice extends EO 13611 of May 16, 2012 for an additional year because Yemen's Houthis (Ansar Allah) continue to threaten peace, security, and stability of the area.

On May 10, 2026, the White House published the America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga (which was discussed in my May 9, 2026 ANP Article) which delivered the first offensive victory to the Patriots when they schemed to gain control of Fort Ticonderoga from the British Army without firing a single shot. President Trump writes:

After the outbreak of the Revolutionary War at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April, American forces urgently needed to strengthen their firepower to break the British grip on Boston and secure their position in New England. Answering the call to freedom, the legendary Green Mountain Boys—a militia from the New Hampshire Grants of present-day Vermont—set out on a daring mission to seize Fort Ticonderoga, a vulnerable British outpost in the Colony of New York that commanded a vital waterway and held a massive arsenal of artillery and cannons.
In the early morning hours of May 10, this bold force of revolutionaries, under the joint command of the famed patriot Ethan Allen and the later treacherous Benedict Arnold, launched a surprise attack on the British garrison. Catching the Redcoats off guard as they slept, the patriots seized the fort without firing a single shot, forcing the unprepared British soldiers to surrender with little resistance—marking the first major victory of the Revolutionary War.
The capture of Fort Ticonderoga proved to be an early turning point in the American Revolution. Colonial forces gained critical ammunition, cannons, and mortars, which Colonel Henry Knox famously hauled hundreds of miles across unforgiving terrain to Boston by January of 1776—empowering the Continental Army to force a British retreat and cementing New England as an American stronghold. The courage, ingenuity, and resolve of the patriots who stormed Fort Ticonderoga defined the fighting spirit that would ultimately drive our Nation to victory and secure our long-awaited independence.
On the 251st anniversary of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, we honor the heroes who struck a decisive blow against British forces and earned their place in history as American legends. And as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, we recommit ourselves to preserving the liberty that they fought fearlessly to secure, and we pledge to ensure that the blessings of freedom remain the inheritance of generations to come.

The Earth Moves Just A Bit: After Britain Sets To Implode After Elections Barack Obama Skulks To Ottawa To Plot With Canadian PM Carney

The Earth Moves Just A Bit: After Britain Sets To Implode After Elections Barack Obama Skulks To Ottawa To Plot With Canadian PM Carney

Former Prez Obama tries shadow foreign policy with Canadian PM Carney

By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline

“Operation Epic Fury was the loud one. Operation Economic Fury is the quiet one. . . . While the carriers were on television, Treasury was doing the actual demolition.” —Jesús Enrique Rosas on X

Expect a consequential week. The Persian Gulf remains closed and colossal oil slicks leak out of Kharg Island while Iran blusters and stomps its feet. No one can even try to buy its oil anymore, not even China. The sanctions are too onerous. Iran’s wells must be shut in now. Imagine how the production chiefs out in the oil fields are howling at their insane IRGC overseers. Iran has no economy left operating. Iran’s domestic security force, the Basij (Sâzmân-e Basij-e Mostaz’afin, or “Mobilization of the Oppressed”) is strangling anyone who expresses discontent in the streets, not a good look for a regime that can’t survive without the pretense of popular support.

Late Sunday, the US President rejected the Tehran’s latest conditions for peace out of hand. They are trying to jerk the whole world around, even while they whirl around the drain. Despite what you read in The New York Times — Iran’s US-based chief cheerleader — it is probably a matter of days now before capitulation. The ball is in America’s court this morning, a real hanging lob shot. The return is apt to be hard. Of course, whatever official utterances come out of Iran, you must discount by about 99.9-percent. For now, there is nothing but the morning fog of suspense.

But strange doings are a’foot elsewhere. You might have noticed that the UK’s labor government got drubbed in local elections, losing nearly 1,500 council seats, a humiliating repudiation. It’s a matter of days before PM Keir Starmer will have to hang it up. His possible replacements are utterly unknown to Americans — Angela Rayner, a former Deputy PM, Energy Secretary Ed Milliband, Health Sec’y Wes Streeting — and any of them is just a place-holder for the election’s main winner Nigel Farage of the Reform Party, which exists wholly outside the age-old British political transect of Labour / Tories.

The Labour Party, you see, is lately as loathsome in the altogether to British voters as its current avatar, Sir Keir (Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, KCB), whose latest act was to extend social welfare benefits to the additional wives of poly-marital Muslims. Way to go! Why not just travel the island empire from town-to-town and slap every indigenous Briton in the face? And the Tories (putative Conservatives), well, just fuggeddabowdem. Sir Keir’s Tory predecessor as PM, Rishi Sunak, screwed the pooch for his party into the next twenty years allowing net Third World migration to hit record highs while the kingdom crumbled.

The way it works over there, Sir Keir or whoever takes over from him, asks King Charles to dissolve Parliament, and you get a sudden national election short of Parliament’s regular five-year term. And so, sometime in the months ahead, Nigel Farage will become Prime Minister and things will change-up bigly in Britain. Mr. Farage will have to contend, among other things, with Donald Trump’s dismantling of whatever was left of Britain’s stealth neo-colonial command of global finance through the British banking system. The question really is: can Farage arrest his country’s sickening slide into becoming an Islamic caliphate, with all the Third World bells and whistles? Can he possibly even start shipping the most recent arrivals back to where they came from? Can he do what Mr. Trump is attempting in the USA and turn the UK back to an economy based on the actual production of goods rather than financial finaglery?

Oddly, as the old Mother Country rejects the Globalist tool, Keir Starmer, Canadian PM Mark Carney attempts to highjack the Globalist baton for the rest of Anglosphere remnant of the old empire. And also, in case you didn’t notice just days ago, King Charles’s attempt to kiss up to Mr. Trump, despite all the mutual flattery and gala ceremony, was a failure for the King of England. That is to say, he did not succeed in getting Mr. Trump to back off even a little bit from reducing the Crown’s imperious control over world affairs.

And so, in the background, you see former president Barack Obama skulk into Ottawa to plot around all those developments with Canadian PM Carney, who is positioning himself to operate as the British Empire’s shadow PM-in-absentia — like the Pope in Avignon during the tumultuous 1300s. That is, Carney, former head of the Bank of England, is electing himself to oppose Nigel Farage, with the stealth assistance of America’s shadow leader of the Democratic Party, Mr. Obama, who actually represents the Islamic-Marxist chimeric alliance that Globalism has become. Why is Barack Obama not subject to violation of the Logan Act for this?

Alas for that shifty operation, the Democratic Party in America is now way back on its heels after the double punch of flubbing its Virginia redistricting gambit and then the SCOTUS decision against racial gerrymandering that will cull dozens of racially-engineered Democratic districts out of the US House of Representatives. Out the window is the Democrats’ scheme to impeach both Mr. Trump and Veep Vance in 2027 so as to install Hakeem Jeffries in the White House. Yeah, really. That was their plan. . . suddenly up in a vapor. And the DOJ’s prosecutions of the Party’s multitudinous grifters and color revolutionists has barely even begun. My Gawd, they are sinking really fast now.

And mid-week, it’s off to China for Mr. Trump to meet Uncle Xi. How badly do they want their oil supplies switched back on? And what are they prepared to do, to make that happen? Buckle up for a wild week.

Justice Roberts Has Opinions But No Spine: The Chief Justice Has Something Other Than The Constitution As His Top Priority

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

I do not like Chief Justice John Roberts. I think his loyalties lie more with defending the entrenched powers of the political Establishment than with defending the Constitution of the United States. I find his jurisprudence squishy. Although his decisions could be described as advancing, more often than not, conservative viewpoints, Roberts does not seem to have a consistent philosophy guiding his opinions.

Roberts is a pragmatist. He surveys the mood of the country and considers how the rest of the members of the Court will vote on any case, and he chooses a position that he feels will best preserve the institutional longevity of the Judicial Branch. Roberts is, in other words, more interested in maintaining the power of the branch that he embodies than in making tough, but correct, decisions.

None of Roberts’ rulings better exemplifies this pragmatic, amoral approach to jurisprudence than his 2012 decision to save Obamacare by redefining the individual insurance mandate as a tax, rather than as a penalty. During oral arguments, the Obama administration barely addressed the possibility that the mandate could be seen as a tax. Democrats did not want to admit that nationalizing health insurance would increase costs for Americans, and the word “tax” certainly implies that prices will rise (which they did).

President Obama had been haranguing the Court for over a year that should it strike down his signature welfare legislation putting the federal government in control of American medicine, the decision would be disastrous for the American people and render the Court illegitimate. Roberts lives in the D.C. bubble. All his friends live in the D.C. bubble. The Democrat-controlled corporate news media reflect the prevailing opinions of those who live within the D.C. bubble. So Chief Justice Roberts chose to avoid leftist backlash (and to protect the Establishment’s sizable financial investments in government-controlled, socialized medicine) by aligning himself with Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

Obama celebrated Roberts’ valuable assist: “The highest court in the land has now spoken,” the president gloated. It is worth noting that similarly squishy jurist Justice Anthony Kennedy (a man whom Democrats succeeded in elevating to the Court after scuttling President Reagan’s original nomination of Robert Bork and then his replacement nomination of Douglas Ginsburg) actually joined the conservative members of the Court in a dissent that would have invalidated Obamacare in its entirety. Because Roberts joined the four leftist members of the Court in protecting Obama’s government takeover of the medical profession, healthcare is substantially more expensive and provides substantially worse treatment today.

Roberts’ constitutionally illiterate and philosophically unsound Obamacare opinion permitted a nefarious government-corporate power axis to take hold that has killed private practices across the country, made every medical doctor a de facto government employee, replaced medical science with government-regulated treatments, and inserted a government bureaucrat inside every examination room. But Roberts did preserve his standing in the D.C. bubble, maximize the profits of large insurance companies, bankrupt rural hospitals, increase the investment portfolio-generated wealth of insider-trading members of Congress, eliminate small practices that prioritized patient care, and let labor unions off the hook for healthcare obligations that they owed to their members. Furthermore, an entire generation of young leftists — too ignorant to know that President Obama and his fellow Democrats are responsible for the horrible state of healthcare in the United States today — openly celebrate the assassination of health insurance company executives walking down the street.

When the issue of Obamacare’s unconstitutionality came before the Roberts Court, the chief justice could have saved the country from all the harm that has come from forcing another illegitimate government power grab upon the American people. But that would have taken guts, wisdom, and principle. Roberts has none of those virtues. He’s a judicial pimp who pragmatically defends the Establishment’s bottom line. The medical profession in America is worse off and American patients are poorer and less healthy because of Roberts’ cowardice.

What I find particularly galling about the chief justice, however, is that he demands to be respected as some kind of impartial and inherently righteous judicial priest. If he could admit that he lacks a jurisprudential backbone and primarily represents the interests of the Establishment Blob in D.C., I would grant him some small measure of respect for being self-aware enough to understand that he is little more than a swampy, Leviathan-controlled, gelatinous judge whose opinions can be molded into whatever D.C.’s “elites” need. But Roberts is not honest enough to do that. Instead, he pretends to be above venal politics and struts around in his priestly robes as if he represents a branch of government too holy to be tainted by the inherently corrupting influence of power.

Although Roberts never said anything when Obama and his Democrat goons were threatening the Court before its damaging Obamacare decision, the chief justice jumped into action in 2018 to reprimand President Trump during his first term. Trump had publicly excoriated a 9th Circuit judge for usurping constitutional powers vested to the president of the United States. In doing so, Trump called the judicial tyrant “an Obama judge.” Well, that rather anodyne remark threw Chief Justice Roberts into a “Why, I never” tizzy, and the Judicial Branch’s limp caretaker found his way to a member of the Democrat-controlled press in order to correct the president’s errant thinking: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”

Uhhh…sure, Chief Justice Gumby. Why would a grown man feel compelled to tell such a blatant lie? The whole country knows that judges come with certain ideological proclivities that influence their decisions on the bench. While Republican presidents have repeatedly stumbled into nominating raging leftists (among them, Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice David Souter) to the Supreme Court, nobody has any doubt that federal judges are chosen for their perceived philosophical bent.

This problem exists only because federal judges have proved incapable of performing their jobs with self-restraint. In the past, Roberts has correctly defined the Judiciary’s obligations: “Our role is very clear. We are to interpret the Constitution and laws of the United States and ensure that the political branches act within them.” But that’s not how most judges act! Instead of interpreting the Constitution, federal judges rewrite the Constitution. Instead of interpreting laws written by Congress, federal judges rewrite those laws into laws of their own. For Roberts to pretend that federal judges have not spent the last century imposing their will upon the American people makes him richly deserving of Queen Gertrude’s quip: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

Eight years later, Lady Roberts is still protesting! In a speech last week in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the chief justice claimed that judges are not “political actors.” (Tell that to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose opinions sound as if they were written by teenaged Marxists with dog-eared copies of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals!) Roberts lamented how too many Americans “think we’re making policy decisions.” (Perhaps that’s because too many judges are, in fact, making policy decisions!) The chief justice also insisted that it is “not appropriate” for Americans to criticize individual judges.

Well, perhaps Chief Justice Roberts should convince his federal judges to stop behaving as partisan hacks! Rather than permitting, through his silence, individual judges to usurp the powers of the president of the United States, perhaps Roberts should call those tyrannical judges out by name. If he wants the Judicial Branch to be perceived as “independent” and “nonpartisan,” then he should insist that judges exercise constitutional self-restraint!

But he won’t do that. Because Roberts has opinions but no spine.

Despite Mother's Day Being Turned Into A Commercial Profit-Making Operation, The Goal Is To Recognize The Sacrifices Your Mother Made For You

Despite Mother's Day Being Turned Into A Commercial Profit-Making Operation, The Goal Is To Recognize The Sacrifices Your Mother Made For You

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

While Mother's Day celebrations existed around the world before the US created an official day for it, these celebrations honoring motherhood did not have a standard day of celebration or a standard name. In fact, the honoring of one's mother actually began in the Bible (I have chosen to use The Ultimate Ethiopian bible in English with All Apocrypha and 1, 2, and 3 Enoch: Thousands of Books in One, Plus Audio, Videos, and More) when Moses came down from the Mount and gave the people God's 10 Commandments in which the 5th Commandment specifically addressed honoring one's mother and father:

Honor your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you. Exodus 20:12

This Commandment is referenced again in other Books of the Bible:

For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] on him. Leviticus 20:9
Keep, my son, the command of your father, | | And do not leave the law of your mother. Proverbs 6:20
for God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother— let him die the death; but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me— and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition. Matthew 15:4-6
for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother— let him die the death; Mark 7:10
The children: obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right; honor your father and mother, which is the first command with a promise, “That it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the land.” Ephesians 6:1-3
Do not despise your mother. Honor her all the days of your life, and do that which is pleasing to her, and do not grieve her. Remember, my child, that she has seen many dangers for you, when you were in her womb. Tobit 4:3-4
Blessed is God who has brought you to us and blessed are your father and your mother.” Tobit 11:17
He who provokes his mother is cursed by the Lord. Sirach 3:16
Give glory to your father with your whole heart, | | And do not forget the birth pangs of your mother. Remember that you were born of them. What will you repay them for the things that they have done for you? Sirach 7:27-28

Notice that the honoring of both mothers and fathers is exclusive to your mother and your father. You are to honor your father and your mother specifically, not mothers and fathers in general. I believe the Commandments of the Bible are meant to be followed every day of your life. That means, to me, that every day should be mother's or father's day. However, in our secular society, this is not the way of life. In fact, many people in our secular society did not honor their mother or their father at all. That is until Anna Jarvis (1864-1948) decided that her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis (1832-1905), needed to be honored for her sacrifices and accomplishments.

Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was born September 30, 1832 in Culpeper, Virginia, of German descent. She was 1 of 8 children, 5 of whom survived to adulthood. In 1845, the family moved to Philippi, Barbor County.

In 1852, she married Granville Eskridge Jarvis (c1823-1902). The couple had at least 11 children, 4 of whom survived to adulthood. The loss of so many of her children to preventable illness and disease sparked her to help her community to combat childhood diseases and unsanitary conditions that she thought were contributing to the death of the children in the community.

In 1858, while pregnant with her 6th child, Ann began working to improve health and sanitary conditions by starting the Mothers' Day Work Clubs to provide assistance and education to families with children. The clubs raised money to buy medicines for those who could not afford it. They also used the money to hire women to assist the family in cases where the mother, herself, was suffering from health problems. The clubs developed milk inspection programs. Ann's brother, James, a physician, often volunteered advice to the clubs.

During the American Civil War (1861-1865) Virginia was so divided that the Western part split off creating its own state of West Virginia who were loyal unionists. West Virginia, because of this, was epicenter for some of the first conflicts in the war. Ann urged the clubs to remain neutral, aiding all who needed assistance, providing clothing and food, and nursing soldiers who fell ill.

After the war ended, Ann was sought out by public officials to help reduce the post-war strife. She planned Mothers Friendship Day for all soldiers and their families to be held at the County Courthouse in Pruntytown. The 1868 event was successful with the community coming together for the first time since before the war began, becoming an annual event.

Ann taught Sunday school and was very involved in her Methodist church. She was involved in the construction of Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, then teaching Sunday school there once the building was complete. Ann served as superintendent of the Primary Sunday School Department at the church for 25 years. Ann was known for helping mothers throughout her life. She would often start her day praying for someone in need. After the death of her husband in 1902, Ann moved to Philadelphia to be near her children. Her daughter, Anna, became her caretaker as her health declined.

Ann died May 9, 1905 at age 72, most likely from the heart issues for which she was being treated, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On her burial day, the bell of Andrews Methodist church was rung 72 times in her honor. She is interred in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Before her mother died, Anna had promised she would found a memorial to commemorate mothers for the sacrifices they make. Honoring this commitment, in May, 1906, Anna held a memorial for her mother praising her outstanding accomplishments through the Mothers' Day Work Clubs. Anna thought one day in one year was not enough to recognize the works of mothers, so she advocated tirelessly for the creation of a Mother's Day for the nation.

On May 10, 1908, 118 years ago, the first Mother's Day ceremonies were held at the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This church is know known as the International Mother's Day Shrine. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark on October 5, 1992. While Anna did not travel to Grafton to attend the service; she sent 500 white carnations for all who attended in Grafton. Instead, she spoke at Wanamaker's Store Auditorium in Philadelphia. John Wannamaker, the owner of the store, had given her his support in the pursuit of a Mother's Day holiday.

After the success of the 1st Mother's Day event, Anna worked tirelessly to make Mother's Day a recognized US holiday. In 1912, Anna quit her job at Fidelity Mutual to incorporate and run the Mother's Day International Association (MDIA). The goal of MDIA was to push for her Mother's Day holiday not only in the US but internationally as well. She spent time writing to businesses, church groups, and politicians.

1910 West Virginia was the first state to make Mother's Day an official state holiday. Within a year, 45 states were celebrating Mother's Day. In 1912, Anna Jarvis trademarked the phrase "Second Sunday in May, Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis, Founder" noting that Mother's is singular, possessive, indicating that each family should celebrate their own mother. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Congressional resolution recognizing the 2nd Sunday in May as Mother's Day.

Anna intended for Mother's Day to be a liturgical service; however, Hallmark Cards turned it into a "Hallmark Holiday" selling Mother's Day cards. Thinking those businesses that started monetizing Mother's Day misinterpreted the purpose of the day, she tried to correct them. Since they continued commercializing "her" day, she started suing, organizing boycotts, and became very vocal arguing people should appreciate and honor their mothers through handwritten letters expressing their love and gratitude, instead of buying gifts and pre-made cards. Anna protested not only at card shops but at the candy maker's convention and flower shops. She remarked that people giving their mothers a pre-printed greeting card was a poor excuse for the letter you are too lazy to write.

When florists got involved, Anna explained the symbolism of the white carnation to be:

Its whiteness is to symbolize the truth, purity and broad-charity of mother love; its fragrance, her memory, and her prayers. The carnation does not drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart as it dies, and so, too, mothers hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying. When I selected this flower, I was remembering my mother's bed of white pinks.

Of course, commercial forces had their way, turning the white carnation into something that represented deceased mothers and promoting red carnations to represent living mothers (because they ran out of white carnations). When the American War Mothers started selling white carnations as a method of fundraising, Anna had had enough. She actively protested the group which led to her arrest.

By 1943, Mother's Day had become so separated from the ideal that Anna had imagined, she embarked on a journey to rescind Mother's Day. She spent every cent she had in an attempt to force people (especially businesses) to view Mother's Day in the way she originally intended. The effort left her destitute. Her efforts ended when she was placed in the Marshall Square Sanitarium in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It appears that people connected to the card and flower industries paid to keep her in the sanitarium (gee, I wonder why).

Anna died November 24, 1948 at the sanitarium. She was the last of her family. She never married and never had children. She was interred with her mother, sister, and brother at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

As we see today, Anna was totally ineffective in getting people to understand the original premise behind Mother's Day. It was coopted by business and remains that way today. Every Mother's Day we see ads for flowers (now more than just carnations) and every store we enter that carries greeting cards has an entire section devoted to Mother's Day cards. Other businesses now run "Mother's Day Sales" with both items meant as gifts for mom as well as other items they just want to sell. It is estimated that Americans spend over $35 billion on Mother's Day (and over $20 billion on Father's Day in June) each year.

Regardless of the fact that Mother's Day (and all holidays for that matter) have turned into a commercial profit-making operation, the goal of the day is to recognize the sacrifices your mother has made for you. Whether you do that with a heart-felt, hand-written note or a card from a store, does not truly matter. It is the idea behind the sentiment that counts. Happy Mother's Day.

Jobs Report, Reflecting Pool Update, President Hosts Angel & Gold Star Mothers In Rose Garden, America250 Fort Ticonderoga, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 8, 2026, the White House published the release JOBS REPORT: Trump Economy Roars Ahead with Big Private Sector Job Gains (discussed in my June 7, 2025 ANP Article). According to the release, jobs are being added, American manufacturing is surging, Federal bureaucracy is shrinking to the lowest levels since May 1966, and American workers are re-entering the workforce (I wonder how much of this aspect is cutting them off SNAP and requiring them to work if they are able-bodied). The release then goes on to quote various people as to how good the economy is at this point in time when compared to the recent past.

On May 8, 2026, the White House published the video Restoring the Reflecting Pool (below) showing the progress that is being made on the Reflecting Pool (discussed in my April 24, 2026 ANP Article). The pool is 2,000 feet long by 167 feet wide. President Trump is saving the US Taxpayers between $1.5 and $2 million dollars and 3 years of waiting for the restoration to be completed. As you can see in the video below, the work is almost complete! And the restoration has moved so quickly the lawsuits have not yet hit the court system!

On May 8, 2026, the White House published the video President Trump Delivers Remarks, May 8, 2026 (see below) showing President Trump hosting Angel Mothers and Gold Star Mothers at the White House for a Mother's Day luncheon. The President spoke for almost 20 minutes on a variety of topics. The President pointed out that the Rose Garden now had a lot of rose bushes, the grass was replaced with the seating space where the ladies were currently sitting, The broken stones were replaced with black granite to crease the Presidential Walk of Fame. Then he asked if should be Presidential Wall of Fame. The ladies in attendance voted and it was a tie.

President Trump spoke of how wonderful his mother was. He introduced the Angel Mothers. He let the Angel Mothers know that in the past 11 months there were zero illegals allowed into our country. Not only did that stop murders and other criminals, it also stopped drugs in that fentanyl is down by 59% for land crossings and 97% by sea. Now that we've gotten the sea handled, he will be focusing on stopping the land-based drug trafficking. He thanked those mothers for their fight against the epidemic of drug addiction. He reminded the ladies he signed the Halt Fentanyl Act into law last summer.

Then he introduced the Gold Star Mothers who raise children so selfless that they have given their lives for our country. He told the Gold Star Mothers that their children are part of the foundation that has made America a strong and free nation today. He mentioned the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and how none of those military service members should have died. He blamed the incompetence of the Biden administration for that situation.

President Trump then went on to name some of the women in his cabinet who are mothers, like Susie Wiles and Brooke Rollins and spoke of their successes. President Trump mentioned the Trump Savings Account for children and how the Dell family donated so much money to that program. He spoke of the change to make IVF available to those who want to start families but need a little help. Followed by speaking about TrumpRx and cutting the cost of prescription medications. He also mentioned that child mutilation (through both surgery and drugs) has ended. Men are no longer allowed in women's sports.

President Trump told the ladies that they are raising the future of our country. That they have the most important job in America and that they are doing an incredible job. He ended with:

I just want to wish you all a very happy Mother's Day. We're going to have a great Mother's Day. And for those mothers that lost their child, many of whom are with us today, the angel moms and others, gold star moms, we love you especially. We love you maybe even the most. Thank you very much. Thank you everybody. Appreciate it.

Women can lead boldly at work

while restoring the honor of motherhood.

On May 8, 2026, the Office of the First Lady published the statement First Lady Melania Trump: Mothers are America’s strength announcing Mrs. Trump's message for Mother's Day that was published in The Washington Post. Here is the full statement:

A mother’s devotion to her child is unmatched. This love takes many forms: strength, compassion, wisdom, grace, joy, labor, humor and even grief, to name a few. The love between mother and child has helped shape America’s identity since the nation’s founding 250 years ago. It is time to revisit the enduring American family traditions that have supported generations, while also recognizing the challenges for mothers of building both a career and a home. This balancing act reflects the realities women face today.
America’s strength is closely tied to the role mothers play in shaping character, education and moral order within families. From morning until night, mothers serve as the first teachers of empathy, aspiration and discipline. It is mothers who do so much to shape a child’s mind — how to think, how to distinguish right from wrong and how to persevere in challenging times. The household is our nation’s smallest institution, yet it is the foundation of all others, including democracy itself. The values cultivated in homes often shape the moral voice of the next generation. Looking ahead, we must consider how to strengthen this vital role.
Being a modern mother demands the discipline and restraint to not disregard what came before us. In this spirit, the healthy evolution of the American family can best be achieved by preserving the elements of the past that have proven their worth. In doing so, America can restore the honor of motherhood after years in which feminism often placed career above family, with consequences to our nation. Yes, women can thrive in both motherhood and business. But let’s be honest, extended families and strong support systems are often essential to providing a solid base for success. That’s why I admire the strength and dedication of single mothers in America, who often handle these responsibilities alone.
I note, too, that May is National Foster Care Month. Across America, tens of thousands of foster mothers selflessly provide safety and stability when it is needed most. Often, these moments create powerful bonds that can alter a child’s trajectory and even lead to a permanent home through adoption, changing lives forever. American women today are finding unique ways to balance career ambition and family. The busy accountant who makes time during tax season to read with her kids before bedtime; the nurse who works a grueling shift starting at 6 a.m. but treasures being present with her children when they return from school. We all know these incredible women.
From these stories, we revisit a simple but enduring truth about being a mother: You make yourself available not just when it is convenient, but whenever your child needs you. This is the heartbeat of an everlasting connection between a mother and her child. Children’s trust in their mothers grows over time, particularly when they know they are prioritized — before everything, including work. This holds true not only in moments of need, but also in ordinary moments: when a child wishes to talk, laugh or simply be together. In order to sustain this bond, a mother’s self-care is essential. To be fully present for a child, mothers must occasionally take time to restore their own energy. Such care is not selfish, but an important part of caring for others. Through self-care, your devotion to your children and the rest of your family is more effective. This approach will enrich every aspect of your life, professional and personal. Make time for yourself, while also welcoming challenges — learning new things, and discovering and building on your passions.
I constantly challenge myself, as first lady, to think beyond the traditional responsibilities of the East Wing. That has resulted in many new opportunities, including leading four reunifications of Ukrainian and Russian children with their families, addressing the U.N. Security Council on achieving peace through education, and, at the White House, launching Fostering the Future Together, a global effort to help children thrive through the safe and innovative use of technology. But family always comes first.
Together, let’s champion a new American model that restores the honor of motherhood by encouraging all women to lead boldly at work while also making family the cornerstone of our national future. I invite you to join me in prioritizing family as we shape a stronger America for the generations to come.

First Lady Melania Trump writes an inspiring message on motherhood & the values that shape our nation. ❤️

On May 8, 2026, Congress is still on their "pro forma" vacation. We The People need Congress to pass the SAVE America Act NOW, not after the November elections. It needs to go into effect NOW! I am, and I think many other US Taxpayers are, tired of these shenanigans. Pass the laws We The People want to have passed. Take a hint from Indiana, either do the WILL of WE THE PEOPLE or get primaried at your next election.

President Trump's Presidential Actions published in the Federal Register (FR) to date:

257 Executive Orders
141 Proclamations
135 Presidential Orders, Memoranda, Determinations, Permits, and Notices

On May 8, 2026, the FR published Proclamation 11026 National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2026 which was signed May 5, 2026 (discussed in my May 6, 2026 ANP Article).

Fort Ticonderoga was built between 1755 and 1757 by the French during the American French and Indian War (AKA the Seven Years' War). The French named it Fort Carillon. It was situated in New York such that it could control the waterways between Lake Champlain and Lake George, which were major trade routes between the Hudson River Valley and the Saint Laurence River Valley. The British gained control of the Fort from the French in 1759, renaming it Fort Ticonderoga.

On May 10, 1775, with the Revolutionary War less than a month old, Fort Ticonderoga was seized by Colonel Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold with the help of 83 Vermont militia men called The Green Mountain Boys. The approach was deceptively simple. They would sneak into the Fort at dawn while the majority of the British troops were sleeping. Once the approximately 48 British troops were captured, Colonel Allen demanded the surrender of the fort in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress. British Captain William Delaplace surrendered. Not a single shot was fired on either side. By taking the Fort, the Patriots ensured that the British stationed in Canada would not be able to use the Hudson River to move their troops south into the colonies. The American Battlefield Trust reports that there were 49 estimated casualties, 1 Patriot and 48 British with the Patriots being the victors.

Benedict Arnold took command of the Fort until June 1775. Colonel Henry Knox would take 59 cannons from the Fort and transport them overland to Boston, ultimately compelling the British to evacuate Boston in March of 1776. In July 1777, the British would take control of the Fort once again until November 1777 when the Patriots would take it back.

The capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1777 was the first victory in the overall war; but, it was symbolic in that it provided the first offensive 'win' which spread hope to the Patriots. The method used (surprise) to take over the Fort was utilized in future battles of the Revolutionary War.

“History records no pity for parties that choose purity over competence, vengeance over vision, pathology over pragmatism. The long night is not coming. It is here. . . . ” —LHGrey on X

The Pacific Palisades fire ignited on January 7, 2025, in the very last days of the “Joe Biden” fake presidency. 6,837 total buildings destroyed plus about 1,000 damaged. The Altadena fire across town in Eaton Canyon was arguably worse: 9,418 buildings destroyed. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was in Ghana at the time to attend the inauguration of president John Dramani Mahama, part of a small U.S. presidential delegation sent by the “Biden” administration.

Deputy Mayor for Public Safety, Brian Williams, overseer of the Police and Fire Departments, was on administrative leave at the time due to an alleged bomb threat against City Hall that he reportedly made in September / October 2024. The FBI raided his house that December, and in 2025 he copped a plea deal (guilty) to making threats involving fire and explosives. So, he was out of action during the fires.

There you have the rectified essence of how the Democratic Party operates in America’s biggest state. Is it not astonishing that Karen Bass is running for reelection? How could she possibly be forgiven? A large number of people employed in the movie business got burned out of their homes in the fires, and then city and state regulatory nonsense prevented them from rebuilding — on top of insurance company hocus-pocus that left families financially wrecked. Is it a surprise that the city’s flagship industry is dying now (film production down 32-percent on a five-year average)? What is LA without Hollywood?

And yet the show-biz celebs are still coming out to pimp for Democratic Party politicians. This is the kind of thing that forces you to conclude that an epic madness burns as hotly through the minds of Californians as the fires that ripped through the canyons in 2025. I know from personal experience as a college theater major that actors can be exceptionally stupid, but that can’t wholly account for what we’re seeing.

Wednesday’s primary debates had these villains on florid display. Because LA’s ranked-choice mayoral primary race styles itself “non-partisan,” candidate Spencer Pratt (a registered Republican) was on-hand for the debate. When the subject of LA’s cataclysmic homelessness came up, drug addicts living (if you can call it that) in wretched, filthy encampments all over the public space of the city, Mayor Bass bragged that she’d significantly reduced the problem, which is obviously and mendaciously untrue. LA City Council member Nithya Raman, who labels herself “progressive,” bragged on putting the homeless into shelters (i.e., motel rooms at $100-K per person per year.)

Spencer Pratt attempted to inject a little reality into the discussion about putting the homeless into homes: “No matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth, they are on fentanyl. The DEA [Drug Enforcement Agency] statistic says 93-percent of this is a drug addiction problem. These people do not want a bed — they want fentanyl or super meth.” Pratt is currently running third in the polls. In ranked-choice voting, the top two winners in the primary will face off in the November election. Currently Bass is polling in the lead and Nithya Raman is running second. If the numbers stay that way, the winner in November could finish Los Angeles off. Blade Runner, here we come.

But there’s still a chance that Spencer Pratt might place well in the June 2 primary just as Golden Tempo shot from dead last to win the Kentucky Derby last week. The seductions of the Marxist race hustle have worn a little thin, even for Angelenos. Karen Bass looks increasingly ridiculous grinning about her abject failures, which Mr. Pratt lays out relentlessly in plain talk. His reality-testing seems to be getting some minds right, gaining real traction. Nithya Raman has the charisma of a mung bean.

The gubernatorial debate was equally edifying, especially the spectacle of Democratic Candidates Katie Porter’s and billionaire Tom Steyer’s rousing lack of self-awareness. Ms. Porter, renowned for dumping a pot of steaming mashed potatoes over her ex-husband’s head, and for her crotchety way with the (friendly) news media and her own staff, made the astounding statement that “the public servants we have are focused on doing their job, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.” That’s their job? Hmmmm. Mr. Steyer went further and said he would arrest ICE agents going about their business. You think . . .? (I would think that a Governor Steyer would find himself arrested by the feds for attempting such a stunt.)

The governor’s race is also a rank-choice contest. So, Republican Steve Hilton was on-hand to break the reality-optional spell that shrouded the stage like a poisonous miasma. After several Democrats made a show of deploring the grotesque homeless druggie encampments from Nob Hill to MacArthur Park, Mr. Hilton said “[They] talk as if we’re in some parallel universe where Democrats haven’t been running the state for the last sixteen years.” He shares the lead in the polls in the large field at 18-percent with Xavier Becerra, who was “Joe Biden’s” Secretary of Health and Human Services, meaning, he presided over the vaxx mandates and lockdowns of the Covid operation.

California is ground zero for the death dance of the Democratic Party. Symptoms are popping up all over the country, of course. Just this week, the FBI raided the headquarters of Virginia State Senator pro tempore L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth) — and also raided the marijuana shop she co-owns next door to her HQ. The SCOTUS decision on Congressional redistricting has thrown many states’ Democratic Party outposts into a fugue of terror as they stand to lose as many as a dozen seats in Congress. DOJ prosecutions are underway against prominent Democrats in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Many of their heroes could go to prison. Panic has set in. The Democratic Party as we know it these days is not long for this world.

Military Spouse Day 2026, WWII Victory Day, America 250 The Townshend Acts, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 7, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Military Spouse Day, 2026 making the day the 42nd yearly celebration of Military Spouse Appreciation Day since Ronald Regan signed it into being in 1984. In my May 10, 2025 ANP Article President Trump explained that military spouses had a 21% unemployment rate with a 25% wage gap when compared to their civilian counterparts. This year, President Trump announced policy changes improved opportunities for military spouses within the Federal Government, including enhanced remote work and flexible job options. In addition, President Trump's Administration increased licensure portability for military spouses. While this is progress, President Trump cautions that more work is needed to provide access to quality housing, affordable childcare, accessible healthcare, and education.

President Trump writes:

The spouses of our service members share with their loved ones a noble but demanding calling. In times of peace and in the crucible of conflict, they rise to meet every challenge and bear the pressures and sacrifices with relentless grace and fortitude. Today, the First Lady and I join a grateful Nation in saluting these patriots and heroes. May God bless our Armed Forces, our military spouses, and their families. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 8, 2026, as Military Spouse Day.

On May 7, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Victory Day for World War II, 2026 focusing on the monumental triumph over tyranny and evil in Europe by the US and her allies. In my May 8, 2025 ANP Article I noted that there are 2 Victory Days surrounding the end of WWII. The first is May 8 which is celebrated world-wide and the second is May 9 which is when the Soviets celebrate. More than 250,000 Americans gave their lives in this War. President Trump writes:

Their heroic sacrifice reminds us that the sacred freedoms we cherish are forged in sacrifice and must be fiercely defended both at home and abroad. Let us remember them, and the millions of innocent souls who endured horrendous atrocities, and lost their lives, at the hands of national socialism. As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we carry their legacy forward by ensuring our Armed Forces remain the most dominant in the world, ready to safeguard our sovereignty, to confront any threat, and preserve the flame of liberty they fought so valiantly to defend. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 8, 2026, as a day in celebration of Victory Day for World War II.

The sad part is our country is no longer teaching true history, so our children are not learning about the pitfalls of socialism. Because of that, our young are now electing socialists into office, like the Mayor of New York City, the governor of Virginia, and of course all the socialists in California's government. As we watch these places collapse through their socialist policies, I hope every one everywhere else takes note and votes against the installation of these "democratic socialists."

Russia's celebration of their Victory Day will be held under duress because Ukraine's President Zelensky is warning world leaders to stay away from Russia's celebration. But Russia's President Putin will not be cowed. In addition, Ukraine will not honor a ceasefire for the day.

Both chambers met today but NOT to conduct any "We The People" business (like passing the SAVE America Act) - instead they met to extend their "pro forma" vacation through Monday, May 11. By holding these "pro forma" meetings every 3 days, they can keep President Trump from making recess appointments while they are on vacation. These are just more games being played by Congress Members to stall the President's We The People agenda. Those going along with these shenanigans need to be primaried at their next election (or recalled if people would be willing to go through that process if the member is not up for reelection in November)!

The SENATE is still on a "pro forma" vacation - they will next convene on May 11, 2026 at 3pm.

The HOUSE is still on a "pro forma" vacation - they will next convene May 11, 2026 at 10:30am.

President Trump's Presidential Actions published in the Federal Register (FR) to date:

258 Executive Orders
141 Proclamations
137 Presidential Orders, Memoranda, Determinations, Permits, and Notices

On May 7, 2026, the FR published the following Presidential Documents:

EO 14404 Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy (discussed in my May 2, 2026 ANP Article)
Proclamation 11025 Jewish American Heritage Month, 2026 (discussed in my May 5, 2026 ANP Article)
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Central African Republic signed May 4, 2026 and sent straight to the FR for publication. This notice extends EO 13667 signed May 12, 2014 due to a marked breakdown of law and order; inter-sectarian tension; widespread violence and atrocities; and the often forced recruitment and use of children as soldiers. These actions threaten the peace, security, and stability of the region and extend to neighboring states. Therefore, this notice is being extended for another year.
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Stabilization of Iraq signed May 4, 2026 and sent straight to the FR for publication. This notice extends EO 13303 of May 22, 2003 due to the obstacles surrounding the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in Iraq, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq. These obstacles continue to pose an extraordinary threat to US national security as well as US foreign policy. Therefore, this notice is being extended for another year.

Before the American Revolutionary War, before Paul Revere (discussed in my April 16, 2026 ANP Article) made his midnight ride, before the Declaration of Independence, before the Boston Tea Party, there was the Stamp Act and the creation of the Sons of Liberty (discussed in my March 25, 2026 ANP Article). When delegates from 9 colonies protested "taxation without representation" in October of 1765, it forced the Stamp Act to be repealed on March 18, 1766 (discussed in my March 21, 2026 ANP Article). This led to the Townshend Revenue Acts, where between 1766 and 1767, the British again tried to tax the colonists with a variety of new taxes. These taxes were proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Charles Townshend. They included:

The Revenue Act 1767 passed on 29 June 1767 with little fanfare. The Act would be used to pay salaries of governors and judges (with the hope that those being paid would remain loyal to Britain). Taxes were applied to imported glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea. It also gave the supreme court in each colony the right to issue general warrants (writs of assistance) that allowed customs officers search private property looking for smuggled goods. However, these warrants violated Britain's right for citizens to be secure in their own private property. The British thought since colonists didn't like the "direct" tax of the Stamp Act, they would accept the "indirect" taxing of imports (goods not produced in the colonies) that colonists were only allowed to buy from Britain. They were wrong. Townshend explained that this would set a precedent for taxing the colonies. Once accepted, the tax could be expanded gradually until the colonies paid for themselves.
The Commissioners of Customs Act 1767 passed on 29 June 1767 to create more effective means of enforcing compliance with trade regulations by creating a new Customs Board in Boston that would house 5 customs commissioners to start with more offices opening in other ports. The board would enforce shipping regulations and increase tax revenue. By housing the Customs Board within the colonies, Britain could more readily control tax collection and prosecute smugglers. The enhanced Customs operations in Boston led to many incidents and ultimately led to the British occupation of Boston and the Boston Massacre of 1770 (discussed in my March 13, 2026 ANP Article).
The New York Restraining Act 1767 passed on 2 July 1767 was created to punish the Province of New York because they refused to comply with the 1765 Quartering Act. This act required New York authorities to house, feed, and provide supplies to British troops stationed in New York. New York resisted this act because it did not limit the number of troops and because the colony could not be taxed by Britain without the colony's consent.
The Indemnity Act 1767 passed on 2 July 1767. This act was a response to the colonies smuggling tea from from Holland because it was cheaper than paying for the higher priced tea from the East India Company (EIC). Back then, all trade goods had to travel to Britain first, taxes paid, then exported elsewhere for sale. The act removed the taxes EIC was paying to re-export the tea, making the tea less expensive than what the colonists were smuggling from Holland.
The Vice Admiralty Court Act 1768 passed on 8 March 1768 established the precedent that the British Parliament had the right to tax the colonies. Lord Charles Townshend died in September 1767, so he did not introduce this act. The act gave admiralty courts (rather than the colonial courts) jurisdiction over customs violations and smuggling. It added a 3 new courts, one each in Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston. The judges were appointed by the British crown and their salaries were paid from fines levied when they found someone guilty. All decisions were made by the judge. There was no option for a trial by jury, which was considered a fundamental right of British citizens. The person being prosecuted had to pay their own way to the court. Anyone who did not appear in court was automatically judged guilty. It behooved the judges to find people guilty and collect fines whenever they could regardless of the innocence of the defendant.

These acts did not create the instant uproar among the colonists that the Stamp Act did. Instead opposition spread over the following year. John Dickinson (discussed in my March 19, 2026 ANP Article) wrote 12 essays entitled Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania (ironically, John was not a farmer, he was a lawyer who wrote well.) John argued that taxes were taxes and taxes imposed by the British Parliament to raise revenue were unconstitutional.

Boycotts were organized to put economic pressure on Britain. Effective January 1, 1768, merchants suspended the import of some British goods. Other colonial ports, including New York City and Philadelphia eventually joined the boycott. George Washington (discussed in my February 10, 2026 ANP Article) and George Mason organized the boycott for Virginia. The boycott started to fail because many merchants did not participate. The boycott ended in 1771.

British troops were sent to Boston and with them came the Customs Officials to staff the Boston Office. This escalation generated much resentment on the part of the colonists. On February 22, 1770, when Boston teenager Christopher Seider was killed by a customs employee the resentment escalated. By March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre happened in which 5 civilians were killed (discussed in my March 13, 2026 ANP Article) one of whom was Crispus Attucks (discussed in my December 11, 2025 ANP Article) who is considered the first death of the American Revolutionary War.

Also on March 5, 1770, a partial repeal of the Townshend Revenue Act was made, but they retained the tea tax. This set the stage for the Boston Tea Party.

How The American System Reshaped The World And Why Globalism Seeks To Destroy It

How The American System Reshaped The World And Why Globalism Seeks To Destroy It

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

Freedom exists in the absence of government control. We are free when we are able to worship, speak, write, make a living, and protect our families and property without fear that government agents will punish us for our actions. America’s Founding Fathers embraced an expansive view of personal liberty that recognizes the inherent right of each person to do as he sees fit, so long as that person refrains from infringing upon the liberties of another.

Right away, then, freedom comes with some restraint. If we each lived alone on our own island, no-one’s liberty but our own would matter. When we live within a society, our freedom comes with certain encumbrances — namely, an obligation not to poach the freedom of others. There is, in other words, a moral consideration that necessarily accompanies the exercise of freedom. Do my actions cause someone else harm? Does the expression of my will unfairly restrict the expression of another? Do my decisions unjustly deny someone else’s liberty?

Harm…fairness…justice — these are words essential to every person’s moral reasoning. They are subjects that are dissected and analyzed throughout the Bible. Because our common law has evolved from a Biblical worldview, our legal system is rooted in Judeo-Christian morality. Therefore, an American who tries earnestly to be a good Christian is also likely acting within the boundaries of American law.

Taken together, freedom, moral restraint, and legal punishment operate in concert within any society. To the extent that a member of society can reasonably govern himself, State-implemented punishment becomes unnecessary. When members of society abandon self-control and pursue personal liberty recklessly or in ways that threaten the liberty of others, State-implemented punishment steps in to provide legal constraints where moral restraint proved ineffective.

Thus, there is a natural relationship among personal freedom, moral conscience, and State force. The more that people pursue their freedom in moral and just ways, the more irrelevant the State becomes. A society whose people are individually capable of governing themselves has no need for the machinery of government. The policing of a population’s legal obligations and the application of State-enforced punishments become not only redundant but also unjust infringements upon personal liberty.

It is no coincidence that free societies exist where there is a high degree of mutual trust among people. If a shop owner trusts that customers will not steal, then businesses can thrive without a government police force monitoring private transactions. If customers trust that manufacturers will refrain from making harmful products, then commerce can thrive without the need for government regulatory agencies. If members of society recognize that the fruits of an individual’s labor belong to that person, then property rights are respected without the need for courts and lawsuits. If public debate, dissent, and personal expression are highly valued, then there is no need for government agents to police words and ideas as “hate speech,” “harmful speech,” or “disinformation.”

High-trust societies are natural incubators of freedom. Accordingly, fostering trust among members of society maximizes personal liberty. How do societies cultivate trust? In a word: culture.

Culture is that collection of customs, mores, attitudes, traditions, beliefs, habits, language, and ways of life that bind a people together. Culture is an unwritten code of conduct passed from one generation to the next. Culture is the essential glue that allows common members of society to move in the same direction without any obvious director. Societies with strong cultures do not need external police forces because members of society “police” themselves.

When that culture includes a profound respect for personal freedom, private property, religious liberty, free expression, and self-defense, the mutual trust that exists among citizens naturally secures the blessings of liberty. It is no accident that an American, Thomas Jefferson, wrote the Declaration of Independence two hundred and fifty years ago. It is no accident that representatives from America’s original thirteen colonies devised together a Constitution that both greatly limits the powers of government and explicitly protects the inalienable rights of Americans. It is no accident that Americans’ respect for private property transformed an unsettled continent into the wealthiest, most innovative, and most influential country in the world. A moral people committed to personal freedom can build, do, and accomplish anything. A moral people committed to self-government can remake the entire world.

It is not difficult to see why the New World’s values have always threatened the Old World’s grip on global power. In a world where intelligence, hard work, and dedication matter more than titles of nobility and unearned inheritance, the common man is capable of generating wealth without a feudal lord’s permission. In a world where free speech and freedom of assembly are cherished political virtues, the common man is capable of forming opinions without the help of so-called “elites.” In a world where self-defense and private ownership of firearms go hand in glove with self-expression and private property, the common man is master of his castle and servant to none.

Globalism’s “elites” have been pushing the idea of a “New World Order” for decades. But it is important to remember that when Americans declared their independence from the British Empire, they established a “New World” order that has continued to the present day. Two hundred and fifty years after the Declaration of Independence, the United States is the wealthiest, strongest, and most robust nation that has ever existed. It has 4% of the world’s population but influences every part of the globe. When Old Europe pushes for a “New World Order,” old aristocrats are desperate to return to the social conditions that existed prior to 1776. Globalists want the “Old World Order” rebranded as something new.

Ask yourself how you might go about destroying America’s “New World” order, so that the Old World’s feudal system can return. If you want to dismantle Americans’ economic and political freedoms, then you need to wreck Americans’ mutual trust. If you want to turn Americans against each other, then you need to ruin the foundations of their shared culture. In order to weaken the bonds of culture, you must first discourage self-restraint. By discouraging self-restraint, you encourage demands for government control. By empowering the State, you diminish the sphere of personal freedom. When the people have been denied freedom for long enough, they forget what it means to be free. Eventually, when the government offers “free” welfare in exchange for obedience, the descendants of free people accept their new chains. They accept total government control. They accept slavery.

Flooding Western countries with foreign immigrants has never been about compassion. Globalists use mass migration to destroy any semblance of social trust. “Multiculturalism” has nothing to do with fostering civic peace. Globalists “divide and conquer” populations in order to more easily rule over the dismembered parts. Anti-Christian programs do not exist to protect “diverse” points of view. Globalists attack Christians because Christian virtue cultivates the moral restraint necessary for freedom to thrive.

For globalists, freedom is the enemy. Government control is their greatest friend. You cannot destroy the former and promote the latter until the natural bonds of society are first broken. Totalitarianism never arrives by decree. It comes by request. In the two hundred and fiftieth year of America’s “New World” order, remember this: Our freedom is always under attack. Be vigilant and defend it.

UFC Freedom 250 June 14, Nurses Day, National Day of Prayer May 17, FLOTUS Military Mother's Day, And More

UFC Freedom 250 June 14, Nurses Day, National Day of Prayer May 17, FLOTUS Military Mother's Day, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 6, 2026, President Trump hosted Mixed Martial Arts Champions Alex Pereira, Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, and Ciryl Gane at a video conference in the Oval Office to announce the UFC Freedom 250 event that will be held on the front lawn of the White House starting at noon on June 14, 2026. These 4 gentlemen, and others, will be participating in the event. The event is produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Admission will be free to the events on the National Mall; however, (free) tickets (there are only 83,000 of them that will be made available) will be needed. The actual arena on White House South Lawn will have 4,000 seats (but it appears those seats will be reserved for military and other dignitaries). The event will be televised to large screens placed around the National Mall. It will also be live streamed.

On May 6, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on National Nurses Day paying tribute to these skilled women, and men, for their devotion to our health and well being. Our nation has an estimated 5 million nurses serving in a variety of venues from hospitals to long-term care facilities. From the beginning of life, through illness and recovery, to the end of life, they are there with us sharing the sorrows and joys as they tend to our needs in these situations. President Trump writes:

Despite long work hours, demanding schedules, and stressful life-and-death circumstances, nurses rise to every challenge with skill, precision, and pride, keeping their patients’ needs foremost in heart and mind. That dedication deserves to be met in kind, which is why my Administration is committed to standing behind our Nation’s nurses every day. Through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act and its elimination of taxes on overtime pay, we are helping nurses keep more of what they earn and build the financial security they have long deserved.
Nursing is a noble calling, a vocation worthy of our gratitude, respect, and admiration. On National Nurses Day, the First Lady joins me in honoring America’s nurses, whose steady hands and generous hearts sustain the health of our people and strengthen the vitality of our great Nation.

On May 6, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on National Day of Prayer honoring our enduring tradition of prayer, faith, and trust in Almighty God. President Trump writes:

And as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, we pledge to never forget the countless blessings God has bestowed upon our people and our country.
From the cradles of civilization in the ancient world to the Christian empires of medieval Europe and the miraculous founding of our own Nation, the entire Western experience has been connected by a golden thread of devotion to God. America’s faith was seen most prominently during our struggle for independence, when the Second Continental Congress declared a day of “humiliation, fasting, and prayer” to seek God’s providence and ask for His protection and blessing in their fight for freedom, virtue, and posterity.
Just weeks later, armed with unshakable faith, the Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, and paved the way for freedom’s ultimate victory five years later at Yorktown. In the years since, this proud birthright of faith moved our Nation to expand the promise of independence to the furthest reaches of our continent; preserve our Union in the midst of a bloody Civil War; abolish slavery; win two world wars; defeat the evil forces of atheistic communism; plant our Flag on the Moon; and advance truth, beauty, and goodness in our culture every single day.
Today, faith in God is resurging on American shores like never before. Throughout this historic year, we rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and in the love and grace of Almighty God. And just as our Founders came together in prayer before declaring independence, thousands of Americans will gather on Sunday, May 17, on the National Mall to rededicate the United States as One Nation Under God.
This National Day of Prayer, we proudly recommit to our magnificent birthright of faith. I encourage all Americans to come together today in prayer, reflecting on the many blessings God has given our Nation and asking for His continued protection, with ceremonies, events, and programs in their houses of worship and places of work, schools, and homes. Above all, we pledge that America will always, as it is written in Psalm 96, “Tell His glory among the nations”—and that we will never forget God’s role in creating, protecting, and sustaining the freest, strongest, most prosperous, and greatest country the world has ever known.

Both the House and the Senate are ignoring the will of the people. Therefore, they are NOT working for We The People, they are working for everyone else, doing the will of pundits, criminals, illegals, etc. The results of primary elections in Indiana gives us hope. They primaried every RINO who voted against the will of the people. We need to primary EVERY member of the US Congress currently up for reelection who is NOT doing the will of the People. We want laws, such as the SAVE America Act, and other election reforms to ensure ONLY US Citizens vote in our US Elections, to be passed. Remember how Congress decided to go on vacation while all the things We The People want to have passed remain on the back burner in November when you go to the polls!

I often think about

the brave people

who make the ultimate sacrifice

for our freedom.

On May 2, 2026, the Office of the First Lady published the statement First Lady Melania Trump Honors Military Mothers, the Soul of our Nation honoring military mothers for their boundless love, quiet power, and unwavering commitment to both family and country. She also honored fallen Operation Epic Fury Service Members from the 103rd Sustainment Command at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, who were killed on March 1, 2026. The President and First Lady are ardent supporters of our military and their families. After her speech, she called upon the President to speak as the US Armed Forces Commander in Chief, who said he never forgets that every US Service Member is someone's child. Mothers from all 6 branches of the US Military were represented, both active duty and military dependents. Here is a transcript of the First Lady's speech:

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our Vice President, JD Vance, and his wife, Usha Vance. It is a pleasure to be joined today by Secretary McMahon and Mrs. Hegseth. I am also honored to welcome Mrs. Melody Wolfe and Lorraine Hoak today. And, to my Chief of Staff, Hayley Harrison, who is preparing to welcome her second child into the world. Hayley, you are a wonderful mother, and I wish you and your growing family all great things.
I often think about the brave people who make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. When I went to honor the fallen Service Members from the 103rd Sustainment Command at Dover Air Force Base last March, I realized that words cannot comfort the all-consuming grief that family members, and mothers in particular, experience. Their loss is overwhelming. Although I understand the deep pride these families feel in their loved ones’ service to our great republic, I cannot fathom the depths of their sorrow.
A mother is awestruck when she welcomes her child into the world. After nine months, the miracle of life creates a fascinating bond between mother and child. With each breath, day by day, this bond deepens, bringing forth emotions never felt before. Quite frankly, these are emotions understood only by women. Only a mother can carry this type of powerful connection with her child, which is also too profound for words.
This is a time of military conflict for America. And whereby we honor our selfless and valiant Service Members regularly, today is the day we hold their mothers in the highest regard. It is these military mothers who find themselves alone, awake in their thoughts, in the darkest hours of the night. Of course, we must also remember the mothers with a spouse overseas, praying for a safe return so their family can become whole once again.
At the very heart of America’s strength lies the boundless love and quiet power of mothers. We are the most devoted teachers—gently nurturing empathy, inspiring dreams, and guiding our children towards goodness. We help them rise with courage when life grows difficult. In every hug, every story read at bedtime, and every sacrifice made without complaint, mothers build the moral foundation of our families.
In doing so, America’s mothers help build the soul of our nation. I pray you find enduring strength as your loved one serves in defense of our freedom. Most know my husband as the strong Commander in Chief, but his empathy transcends the role and shapes a caring leader who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone’s child. Distinguished guests, please join me with a warm welcome for our President, Donald J. Trump.

Trump Fitness Award, Physical Fitness & Sports Month, Astronaut Day, TrumpRx Report, America250 Culper Spy Ring, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 5, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2026 celebrating the strength, discipline, and competitive spirit of the American people. Sports and fitness promote healthy lifestyles, teamwork, friendship, and a competitive spirit. They are intertwined into the foundation of American identity forged through hard work, strength, and success. Robert F Kennedy Jr, Secretary of HHS, Chief MAHA, spoke during the signing of this Proclamation (in the video below), saying:

President Kennedy wanted to send the American people: if we were going to maintain our national authority, our national our international leadership, our moral authority as a nation that we had to pay attention to our our physical condition. The physical fitness test was a critical part of that. And I think it's very unfortunate that President Obama and President Biden abandoned it. He said competition is not good for kids, which is not true. If we're going to be competitive internationally, we need to be competitive with each other. We need to teach people how to win and how to lose and how to process victory and defeat. . . . Since that time the presidency has presided over the worst public health crisis in history. We're now the sickest nation in the world. We've gone from:

5% of our kids being obese to 20%
70% of adults are obese or overweight and
77% of our children cannot qualify for military service.

And that should be an eyeopener for all of us.

This award is the culmination of President Trump's EO 14327 President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and the Reestablishment of the Presidential Fitness Test signed July 31, 2026 (discussed in my August 1, 2025 ANP Article). President Trump writes:

This month, we are reminded that a country is only as strong as its citizens. I encourage all Americans to take steps to ensure they can live healthy and fulfilling lives through regular exercise and the joys of sports — improving the strength, vigor, and success of our Nation along the way.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2026 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. I call upon public officials, sports educators, athletes, and all the people of the United States to get involved in sports and physical activity, especially our Nation’s youth.

I think bringing back the Presidential Physical Fitness Award is a good thing. I still have all the Presidential Physical Fitness Awards (one of which is shown above) I received while in k-12 school (from more than 50 years ago!). I am glad children today will have the opportunity to receive their own Award for Physical Fitness from President Trump.

At about 59 minutes into the following video, President Trump joins the children on the White House lawn. It is so good to see a President being a President and NOT a pervert going around sniffing the little girls!

On May 5, 2026, the White House published a Presidential Message on National Astronaut Day reminding us that 65 years ago, on May 5, 1961, Commander Alan Shepard became the first American to journey into space aboard the Freedom 7. Last month, 4 astronauts boarded the spacecraft Integrity to travel 695,081 miles to the other side of the moon and back during the Artemis II mission. We are reminded that the intention is to put Americans back on the Moon by 2028 with a goal of establishing a permanent settlement on the lunar surface. President Trump writes:

Under my Executive Order to Ensure American Space Superiority, we are reaching for the stars once again with the same ingenuity, courage, and indomitable spirit that have defined our national story for 250 years. Freedom will fly once again: We are advancing space nuclear technology for the journey to Mars, empowering innovation across the commercial space industry, and securing American space dominance for generations to come. Our Republic stands at the dawn of a new Golden Age of space exploration—one that will carry the hopes and ambitions of our people farther into the great beyond than ever before.

On May 5, 2026, the White House published the research Savings from Most-Favored-Nation Drug Pricing Policy (available as a 13-page pdf here) highlighting President Trump's Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) drug pricing policy available through the TrumpRx website reflecting current agreements with 17 of the largest pharmaceutical manufactures, so far. These policies for drug pricing have been designed to work in tandem with US trade policy efforts. Together, drug prices are equalized through the combination of decreases in US prices and increases to other developed countries. The research concludes the framework ensures benefits are broadly distributed, not limiting cost savings to only those on Medicare and balances global distribution of pharmaceutical R&D globally without compromising innovation in pharmaceuticals.

Apparently, the Senate is on a series of 3-day vacations having met Monday, May 4, 2026 at 6:45am for a pro forma session (described in my May 5, 2025 ANP Article) with their next meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 10am for yet another pro forma session. This is your Senate at work for you, working to pass legislation that you want to have passed, such as the SAVE America Act and codifying President Trump's EOs. Oh, wait, that's right, they aren't working, they're stalling the President in every way they can. Anyone going along with this nonsense at the expense of the US Taxpayer needs to be primaried come November!

The House is also lollygagging with pro forma sessions. They convened on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 10:30am then adjourned at 10:35am. Their next scheduled meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 9am. Like the Senate, they are not working for We The People to pass the legislation we want passed. They are stalling the President however they can while appearing to work with him. Like the Senate, those going along with this boondoggle needs to be primaried in November!

In the lawsuit American Oversight v. Hegseth docket # 1:25-cv-00883 filed in District Court, District of Columbia on March 25, 2025 about Houthi Signal Group Chat where American Oversight sued Trump administration officials who were on the Signal war planning group chat and the National Archives to ensure federal records are preserved as required under the Federal Records Act. The original lawsuit sought the following relief:

Declare that messages and communications sent through the Signal application in the course of conducting agency business are agency records subject to the FRA;
Declare that the failure to ensure such messages and communications are preserved, as required by 44 U.S.C. § 2911, comprises an unlawful removal of federal records in violation of the FRA;
Declare that Defendants have maintained an inadequate recordkeeping system under the FRA;
Declare that Defendants have violated their respective duties under the FRA and APA;
Issue emergency injunctive relief and a permanent injunction ordering Defendants to comply with their respective duties under the FRA and APA, including by referring the matter
to the Attorney General for enforcement of the FRA, preservation of records, recovery of unlawfully removed records, and the recovery or restoration of any deleted or destroyed materials to the extent possible;
Issue emergency injunctive relief and a permanent injunction ordering Defendants to preserve all materials relating to Plaintiff’s claims under the FRA;
Grant Plaintiff an award of attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred in this action; and
Grant Plaintiff any other relief this Court deems appropriate.

On June 20, 2025, Judge James E Boasberg ordered:

Plaintiff’s [19] Motion for a Preliminary Injunction is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART;
Agency-head Defendants shall promptly notify Acting Archivist Rubio of any Signal chats of which they are aware that contain federal records at risk of impending deletion, see 44 U.S.C. § 3106(a);
Rubio shall promptly “request the Attorney General to initiate” “an action for . . . recovery or other redress” to preserve any at-risk federal records in such chats and “notify the Congress when such a request has been made,” id. § 3106(b); and
The Government shall file a status report by June 27, 2025, indicating the steps it has taken to comply with this Order.

On July 3, 2025, a Motion to Dismiss was entered by defendants.
On April 30, 2026, a Stipulation of Dismissal was filed by both defendant and plaintiff with no reason provided.
On May 1, 2026, Judge James E Boasberg issued a Minute Order that the case is Dismissed with Prejudice.

As I read through the record of what was done in this case, Judge Boasberg made a lot of "minute orders" (apparently, these orders only require a line of type compared to 'official' orders that have justifying documents attached). I did not like the fact that in his June 20, 2025 order, Boasberg referred to Secretary Rubio as "Rubio" instead of "Secretary Rubio" which I consider to be a personal slight against Secretary Rubio by Boasberg. I'm guessing that "minute orders" are the 'lazy activist judge' version of working in the court system. Boasberg's TDS is very strong and you can see it as you read through all of his orders in this case.

American Oversight has 4 other open lawsuits against the Trump Administration:

American Oversight v. Department of Homeland Security case # 1:25-cv-01811 (discussed in my June 12, 2025 ANP Article)
American Oversight v. Department of Justice 1:25-cv-02197 (discussed in my July 12, 2025 ANP Article)
American Oversight v. Department of Education docket 1:25-cv-02262 (discussed in my July 18, 2025 ANP Article)
American Historical Association [additional plaintiff American Oversight] v. Trump docket # 1:26-cv-01169 (discussed in my April 11, 2026 ANP Article)

The Culper Spy Ring was a network of Patriots who spied on the British during the Revolutionary War. The Ring leaders were Abraham Woodhull (alias Samuel Culper Sr) and Robert Townsend (alias Samuel Culper Jr) and the Ring was organized by Major Benjamin Tallmadge (alias John Bolton) and General George Washington (discussed in my February 10, 2026 ANP Article).

At the time, the British were headquartered in New York City. In November 1778, Major Tallmadge was appointed the primary contact for the Ring by General Washington. The Ring operated in New York City, Long Island, and Connecticut between October 1778 and 1783 when the British evacuated from New York. During their 5 years of operation, no spy was ever unmasked. To protect the spies, Major Tallmadge gave them pseudonyms and assigned them numbers rather than using names. A total of 763 numbers were used. We know that General Washingtoin was #711. Major Tallmadge created a 'dictionary' for General Washington on how to read the codes. In addition, their correspondence was written in invisible ink.

The Culper Spy Ring was instrumental in the success of the Patriot's War of Independence (aka the American Revolutionary War). They were responsible for uncovering details of a surprise attack on French forces, a British plan to counterfeit the Patriot's currency (using the actual paper the Patriots used for their Continental bills), Tyron's raid of July 1779, and the discovery that Patriot General Benedict Arnold was plotting against them with British Major John Andre to turn over the vital position of West Point to the British.

Millions Drop Off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Rolls As New Trump Eligibility Rules Take Effect

Millions Drop Off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Rolls As New Trump Eligibility Rules Take Effect

Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images

By John Oyewale (DCNF) - All News Pipeline

Millions have lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since new work requirements became law July 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

There have been nearly 3.5 million fewer enrollees for SNAP benefits since July 2025 as the number fell from an average of 42.1 million in the previous fiscal year to 38.5 million as of Jan. 2026, the WSJ reported, citing federal data.

The new work requirements stipulate that able-bodied and mentally fit adults aged 18–64 years old without dependents aged under 14 years old must take up paid or unpaid employment, volunteering, or a government-run work program for at least 80 hours a month, according to the outlet.

The expanded work requirements are contained in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” signed into law July 4, 2025, by President Donald Trump. The adult age bracket previously affected was 18–54 years old, and dependents had to be under 18 years of age, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for SNAP.

The number of food-stamp recipients is falling sharply—including by 50% in Arizona, according to state data—as new rules on who qualifies for SNAP benefits begin to be implemented https://t.co/rOhIfsdu76
— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) May 3, 2026

The changes to the work requirements were the most expansive to SNAP in decades, a USDA spokesperson told the WSJ.

While illegal immigrants were never eligible for SNAP benefits, certain legal immigrants have now been restricted from accessing the benefits, the outlet reported.

All U.S. states except Alaska, Hawaii and Kentucky have seen declines in enrollment, according to a SNAP tracker run by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). Alaska, Hawaii and Kentucky have seen slight increases in SNAP enrollment, the tracker shows. Puerto Rico does not receive SNAP, while the number of SNAP aid recipients in Guam has spiked by nearly 23%, according to the tracker.

Virginia, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee are some of the states with double-digit declines of less than 20%, the tracker shows. Virginia and some other affected states are trying to link affected people with job or volunteering opportunities, according to the WSJ.

Arizona has the highest decline with over 51%, as 424,000 fewer people, including 181,000 fewer children, access SNAP aid, according to the CBPP. The state incorporated the changes to the requirements as soon as the megabill was passed, the WSJ reported.

The expanded work requirements were primarily responsible for the drop, Brett Bezio, a spokesman for Arizona’s Department of Economic Security, which administers SNAP at the state level, told the WSJ.

Colleen Heflin, a food insecurity expert at Syracuse University who studies food insecurity, reportedly described the decline in Arizona as unprecedented, also predicting that “a surge in food insecurity and its related negative consequences at new levels” could follow.

Small Business Week, Proclamations, Kentucky Derby, S723 Signed Into Law, America 250 Battle of the Coral Sea, And More

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On May 4, 2026, the White House published the statement Presidential Message on National Small Business Week explaining how small businesses have been the strength of our country since before America was officially founded 250 years ago. Small Business Week honors entrepreneurs, innovators, and dreamers. Those with the spirit of the pioneers of old, invigorating our culture, economy, and communities. President Trump writes:

Together, we will restore the American promise and advance the spirit of entrepreneurship that makes our country the land of opportunity.

Happy #SmallBusinessWeek 🎉

This week, we celebrate the more than 36 million small businesses across America that power the nation’s economy. Share to spread word!

On May 4, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump Celebrates Small Business Revival During National Small Business Week

President Trump joined small business owners to celebrate National Small Business Week with an emphasis on highlighting the revival of Main Street under the America First agenda. President Trump has accomplished many things for small businesses among them:

Tax Relief in the Working Families Tax Cut Act
Regulatory Relief & Ending Bureaucracy through a Deregulation Strike Force reducing over $110 billion in regulatory costs as well as suspending Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) requirements providing savings to small businesses
SBA Support
New Manufacturing Renaissance with a dedicated loan program, waiver of upfront fees, and expanded guarantees for supply chains
Domestic Supply Chain support with new procurement tools like the Make Onshoring Great Again Portal
Protecting Franchises

The release concludes that:

because of these actions, hiring is up, investment is surging, small business optimism remains strong, and entrepreneurs are once again betting on the future under President Trump's leadership.

On May 4, 2026, the White House published the Proclamation Jewish American Heritage Month, 2026 honoring the contributions of Jewish Americans. Jew Haym Salomon was an early supporter of the Revolutionary War, rallying support for freedom. He was imprisoned by the British Crown, but continued his support after his release from prison. He ultimately gave everything to the Revolutionary War cause. Our first President, George Washington, in a 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island wrote:

May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. . . . United States gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.

Our nation was founded on the sacred right of religious freedom. Throughout this historic year of our 250th anniversary of American Independence, President Trump invites everyone to participate in a National Sabbath from sundown May 15 to nightfall on May 16, encouraging everyone to come together in gratitude for our great Nation as well as a time for rest, reflection, and gratitude to God. President Trump writes:

This month, we celebrate the contributions that Jewish Americans have made to our way of life, we honor their role in shaping the story of our Nation, and we remember that religious devotion, learning, and service to others are enduring pillars of a thriving culture. Through every trial and triumph, the contributions of Jewish Americans have shaped our past, have strengthened our communities, and will continue to inspire American greatness for generations to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2026 as Jewish American Heritage Month. I call upon Americans to celebrate the heritage and contributions of Jewish Americans and to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies. I further call on all Americans to celebrate their faith and freedom throughout this year, during this month, and especially on Shabbat to celebrate our 250th year.

On May 3, 2026, the White House published the statement Presidential Message on National Hurricane Preparedness Week reminding those who live in coastal areas subject to hurricanes to take proactive steps to protect themselves, their families, their homes, and their neighborhoods before disaster strikes. The National Weather Service (NWS) provides checklists and other resources for hurricane safety. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides an entire section on Hurricane Preparedness and Response with downloadable guides. Ready.gov also has guides for what to do before, during, and after a hurricane. FEMA has guides for before, during, and after disaster strikes. Disaster Assistance provides resources for what to do after the disaster strikes. Be sure to use these resources to create an emergency plan for your family, assemble essential supplies, and invest in property protections. The Trump Administration is transforming FEMA to make it into a better partner for the people, cut timelines for funding, deployment of responders, and work to more quickly remove debris left behind by natural disasters. President Trump Writes:

This week, we extend our thoughts and prayers to every family across our country that has been touched by deadly hurricanes—and we express our deepest gratitude to the countless first responders who risk their safety to save lives, help others in need, and recover rapidly while taking measures to prevent or mitigate damage from future storms.

On May 2, 2026, the White House published the statement Presidential Message on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month celebrates the resilience, devotion, and patriotism of Americans with Asian or Pacific Islander heritage. Today AAPI descendants defend our freedoms as they join the US Armed Forces (currently 77,000 AAPI descendants are serving), open small businesses, become doctors, innovate new technology, and strengthen every aspect of American lives. President Trump writes:

The values that my Administration is fighting for are the same values the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities live by every day—family, hard work, education, and the promise of freedom. Since I returned to office, my Administration has advanced those values by lowering the cost of living and delivering historic tax relief for working families and small business owners through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. We are stopping violent crime and making our neighborhoods safe again for our children. We are restoring excellence in education by empowering parents and advancing merit. And we are forging powerful trade deals with our Asian and Pacific partners, which are expanding our access to key markets, strengthening supply chains, and securing better opportunities for American workers of every background.
This month, as we honor the enduring contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, we pledge to work toward a radiant American future that is guided by faith, driven by hope, motivated by hard work, and uplifted by an unwavering belief in the greatness of our Nation.

On May 2, 2026, the White House published the Presidential Message on the Kentucky Derby reminding us the Kentucky Derby:

stands as an enduring testament to tradition, culture, and the triumph of the American spirit. Just as the Thoroughbreds race down the track with determination and resolve, so too has our Nation risen to meet every challenge, defied the odds, and shattered boundaries to reach greatness.

President Trump writes:

As “the most exciting two minutes in sports” begins, I wish all Americans watching a thrilling and unforgettable “run for the roses.” May this storied competition continue to inspire pride in our shared heritage, and may the best horse win!

Golden Tempo ridden by jockey Jose Ortiz won the race (at 23:1 odds) with trainer Cherie DeVaux becoming the first female trainer whose horse won the Kentucky Derby. Here are the full 2 minutes of the race:

It appears the Democrats' partial government shutdown has been resolved through the reconciliation bill (which do not require a Presidential signature to be enacted but does not have the authority of law) passed by the house. HR7147 - Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 is summarized as follows:

This bill provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through May 22, 2026. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14, 2026, due to a lapse in appropriations for DHS.
The CR generally funds most DHS agencies and programs at the FY2025 levels through the earlier of May 22, 2026, or the enactment of the FY2026 DHS appropriations act.
The bill also authorizes back pay, in accordance with current law, for federal employees who were affected by the partial DHS shutdown.
Finally, the bill ratifies and approves certain obligations that were incurred during the partial DHS shutdown, including obligations incurred to maintain the essential level of activity to protect life and property and bring about an orderly termination of government functions.

While this bill is being touted as funding DHS through at least September 30, 2026 when the 2026 FY budget ends. Then, on October 1, 2026, if a budget for FY2027 is not passed, we will probably go through this nonsense yet again.

Why did it take 76 days for Republican members of Congress to figure out they could fund DHS using the reconciliation process? Why did they force DHS employees to work without pay in order to protect our National Security? Oh, yeah, it's about criminal illegal aliens who entered our country illegally and Democrat's hatred of President Trump. There MUST be accountability for those Congress members who refused to DO THEIR JOB and fully fund the government.

So, even though DHS is funded for a few more months Congress is still playing games by holding "Pro Forma" sessions so they can have 4-day weekends instead of working to pass the SAVE America Act and other legislation that We The People want passed.

What is a Pro Forma session, you might ask. A Pro Forma session is when the House or the Senate meet without conducting legislative business and no votes are held. They do this because the Article I Section 5 of the US Constitution (discussed in my October 2, 2025 ANP Article) prohibits Congress adjourning for more than 3 days without the consent of the other chamber. So, while 3-day weekends are ok for Congress to schedule, having a 4-day weekend requires they meet on the Friday before or Monday after in a Pro Forma session unless the other chamber agrees they can take a 4-day weekend while there's still work to be done.

On May 4, 2026, the White House published the statement Congressional Bill S. 723 Signed into Law. S723 - Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act of 2025 was introduced by John Thune (R-SD) on February 25, 2025. The bill had 3 cosponsors (2 Republican and 1 Democrat). The 6-page bill is summarized as follows:

This bill sets forth requirements for the processing of a proposed residential leasehold mortgage, business leasehold mortgage, land mortgage, or right-of-way document by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The BIA must notify lenders upon receipt of such documentation, perform a preliminary review of such documents not later than 10 days after receipt, and approve or disapprove of such documents within 20 or 30 days, depending on the type of application.
Additionally, the bill sets forth requirements for the BIA regarding (1) response times for the completion of certified title status reports, (2) notification of delays in processing, and (3) the form of notices and delivery of certain reports.
The bill also provides relevant federal agencies and Indian tribes with read-only access to the Trust Asset and Accounting Management System maintained by the BIA.
The Government Accountability Office must report on digitizing documents for the purpose of streamlining and expediting the completion of mortgage packages for residential mortgages on Indian land.
Finally, the bill establishes within the BIA's Division of Real Estate Services the position of Realty Ombudsman.

On May 4, 2026, the White House published America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea recognizing that on May 4, 1942, American and Australian troops fought against tyranny in the Pacific. This shared sacrifice and courage established an enduring bond between us. The troops conducted relentless air strikes against the invading fleet for 4 days. This battle was the first time two opposing carriers battled one another from the sky as opposed to firing upon one another at sea. This battle led to the decisive victory at Midway a month later. President Trump writes:

As we reflect on this solemn anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea, we honor the unwavering grit of our service members and remember those heroes who willingly laid down their lives in the defense of freedom. Standing shoulder to shoulder with our Australian partners, we will continue to champion the cause of peace and stability throughout the Indo-Pacific, ushering in a new Golden Age of security and prosperity for our Nation and our allies around the world.

All Is Not So Quiet On Any Front: Severe Beat-Down For Dem Party That Has Become Captive To Seditionists, Overt Communists, Racketeers, And Jihadis

All Is Not So Quiet On Any Front: Severe Beat-Down For Dem Party That Has Become Captive To Seditionists, Overt Communists, Racketeers, And Jihadis

By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline

"CENTCOM confirms Iran has NOT successfully struck ANY Navy ships this morning, despite claiming they’ve done so." —Eric Daugherty on X

Project Freedom. Cute move! Notice that it’s not Operation Freedom. That would frame it as a military move. The President is tactically framing this as a humanitarian action. Mr. Trump has advised Congress as of May 1 that hostilities with Iran (Operation Epic Fury) are terminated, at the 60-day limit of the War Powers Resolution. Commercial ships from countries not involved in the Iran / US dispute will now get escorted safely through the Strait of Hormuz by US naval vessels. (Later amended by CENTCOM, around 9a.m. Monday as being protected by US Navy vessels “in the vicinity.”)

Any attack on these ships by Iran would prompt a forceful response and trigger a re-wind of the clock on the War Powers Resolution (WPR), meaning, another sixty days to conduct military operations, such as the destruction of key bridges and electric power plants promised earlier. Iran’s leadership — whoever that is — thought it could juke Mr. Trump on the 60-day deadline by stalling negotiations while it reorganized its remaining missile launchers. Tactical fail. Incidentally, the Supreme Court has never directly ruled on the WPR’s constitutionality or enforced the 60-day limit.

Also, by the way, the “neutral and innocent bystanders” designation means that oil tankers from Kuwait, the Emirate states, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia will be given safe escorts out of the Persian Gulf. That will have two effects: 1) avert the “shutting-in” of their productive oil wells (and the prospective geological damage to the oil fields); and 2) alleviate the price pressure on oil generally with new supply reentering the global oil market.

You can conclude that this “project” will bring new pressure on the “whoevers” running Iran to stop shucking and jiving about how this thing ends — which is them surrendering the 1000-pounds of 60-percent enriched uranium stashed somewhere on their premises. Of course, coming to terms on the nuclear bomb-making issue would allow Iran the possibility of becoming, once more, a normal advanced industrial modern nation, should it also decide to eschew the rule of the mullahs and their psychotic minions in the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC). But that remains to be seen.

The other major project underway is on the domestic US scene: the much-needed severe beat-down of the so-called Democratic Party that has become captive to seditionists, overt communists, racketeers, and jihadis. DOJ prosecutions of color revolutionaries accelerate under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. James Comey finally has to account for his “86 / 47” seashell prank in a Carolina federal court while a long-dormant case was revived in the Eastern District of Virginia of Comey having used Columbia prof Daniel Richman as a cut-out to leak classified information to the press at the inception of RussiaGate, 2017.

Nobody knows exactly what’s going down in the Southern District of Florida these days (no leaks) where a grand Jury was convened in January to hear evidence in the RussiaGate matter including the years’ long train of organized seditions aimed at bum-rushing Mr. Trump out of the Oval Office in his first term, plus the mounting of various other operations (2020 election-rigging, the J-6 “Fedsurrection,” and maliciously fake serial prosecutions) aimed at stuffing him in prison at the end of that term.

All this is being treated as a “grand conspiracy” involving scores of agency officials and lawfare ninjas operating in the penumbra at the edge of government. Do not be surprised when rafts of indictments come out of the Fort Pierce, Florida, grand jury, probably in bunches, each bunch dedicated to a particular phase or operation.

Due to the globalists war on truth, ANP must depend on reader donations to keep the website active. Anything ANP readers can do to help is greatly appreciated.

Characters such as former President Barack Obama, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Senator Adam Schiff (D-CS), CIA-agent Eric Ciaramella, legal tacticians Norm Eisen, Marc Elias, and Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann, crooked member of the Senate Intel Committee Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), and former CIA Directors Brennan with former DNI James Clapper, were involved in multiple seditions and possible treasons. Supporting actors such as the tag-team of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, former AG Merrick Garland, former Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, former Sec’y of State Hillary Clinton, “Joe Biden” autopen operators Jake Sullivan, Mike Donlon, Steve Richetti, Anita Dunn, Neera Tanden, former Sec’y of State Antony Blinken, and Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice, are probably in the mix somewhere, too.

The trials that come out of all this action will be mighty interesting shows. What they will show is what an absolutely criminal organization the Democratic Party became sometime during Barack Obama’s second term, and how each criminal act since then has provoked further criminal acts in the attempt to cover-up the train of crime.

On top of that, you see the first glimmers of action against the villains behind the Covid-19 operation, which was used as an additional instrument of sedition to eject President Trump from office with mail-in ballot fraud. That was the eventual outcome anyway, though it appears that Anthony Fauci’s NIAID agency was subcontracting out the development of this disease at least a decade earlier. And now, Dr. Fauci’s chief advisor, David Morens, is indicted on extremely serious charges including conspiracy against the United States, destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations (multiple counts), and concealment, removal, or mutilation of records (multiple counts).

This is serious business. It is likely to lead to Dr. Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and other public health officials who ran a dastardly number on the citizens of this land. Be advised: the autopen pardons of “Joe Biden” will be tested in court.

While all this goes on in the months ahead, don’t underestimate what is liable to emerge from the ongoing FBI investigations into massive social service and health service fraud by the Democratic Party in its Blue State strongholds. It is going to get very ugly. A governor or two (or three, or more) could be slammed with indictments for colluding to conceal vast episodes of organized grift.

All that. . . and then the SCOTUS decision striking down Congressional redistricting along racial lines — probably leading to the loss of up to ten Democratic seats in the House later this year. Ouch! That one is really going to sting.

So, if you happen to believe that the concluding scenes of Operation Epic Fury in Iran will somehow work to advantage the Democratic party to sweep the midterm elections, better rethink your strategery (as George W. Bush liked to style the art of political warfare).

Mad King Chuck Visits The MAGA White House: Getting Rid Of Useless Kings Was Step One In making America Great

Mad King Chuck Visits The MAGA White House: Getting Rid Of Useless Kings Was Step One In making America Great

By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline

Last week, this poncy English toff named Chuck gave a speech to Congress. In his home country, they call him “Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.” However, as he had crossed America’s moat to visit the descendants of the rebels who turned the British Empire upside down, he looked like a “Chuck” to me.

President Trump hosted Chuck at the White House with splendid pomp and circumstance. He also greeted America’s former landlord with a contingent of Revolutionary War-attired soldiers and a huge statue of Benjamin Franklin. The White House communications team even blasted out a Paul Revere-esque warning to Americans: “The British are coming!” Taken together, the president’s message was polite but clear: Lovely of you to visit, and even lovelier to see you go.

I’ve never understood Americans’ fascination with the dis-United Kingdom’s “Royal Family.” The royal family…barf. The only “Royals” families that matter to me are the ones who support the Kansas City baseball club. That club, by the way, is named for the “American Royal,” a cattle show that began in the Kansas City Stockyards in 1899 and a tradition that took its name — with some humor and a tip of the ol’ cowboy hat — from the Royal Agricultural Society of England’s annual “Royal Show.” It was Missourians’ way of telling the rest of the world that, in America, horse shows, rodeos, and barbecue competitions are more important than any king.

Still, when I inspect the “pop culture” drivel spewing from the sewers of Reddit, Facebook, or podcast gabfests, I realize that a large number of Americans are enamored with the inbred idiots of Europe’s hemophiliac aristocracy. Wealth and fame are well-known aphrodisiacs, and just as some people are attracted to Hollywood actors too dumb to know just how dumb they are, many of those same people are attracted to pudgy, balding, stuttering, gouty imbeciles who know next to nothing, aside from how to wear an unwieldy crown.

I have noticed over the years that the Americans most caught up in the soap opera of wayward “spare” Harry and his “D List” actress wife Meghan (Are they “royals” still? Who cares.) are the same ones likely to go to a “No Kings” street performance in the middle of a workday afternoon. Leftists scream about the “patriarchy” with feral rage but are the first in line to grovel at the feet of reigning European patriarchs. When Downton Abbey was “Making the Monarchy Great Again,” every other article coming from the rubbish bin of America’s glamour magazines dramatically declared, This is the kind of caring, compassionate, feminist, virtue-signaling aristocracy that we deserve! The same groupies who loved Downton also “occupied Wall Street” and endorsed the murder of anyone loosely connected to the “1%.” As is their bent, leftists talk a great deal from their own derrières. They speak in flatulence and call it French.

Chuck is hardly a ringing endorsement for monarchy. He is plain and uninteresting. His wife, Camilla, is plain and uninteresting. Together, they look like a couple of forgotten antiques that the American Pickers crew might find in an old barn. If I lived in a land that made these two my “rulers,” I would at least understand the impulse to commit national-suicide-by-Islamic-conquest. You look at the extended “Royal Family” — an odd assortment of perverts, profligates, and prostitutes — and a reasonable person might rightly conclude, “Yeah, Britain’s done. The party’s over. Turn out the lights, and call it a night.”

The kingdom’s ruling monarch used to daydream about being a tampon, for goodness’ sake! We make fun of “Tampon” Tim Walz in the United States because the governor of the Somali colony of Minnesota insists on putting women’s menstrual products in boys’ locker rooms. Chuck wanted to become a menstrual product so that he could become “closer” to the object of his affections, and the Brits made Creepy Uncle Chuck king!

Sending Chuck over to woo President Trump during America’s two-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday bash wasn’t a great idea. Yeah, we Americans have a connection to our British pals across the pond. On the other hand, none of us relates to the reigning king. Seeing him in action leaves the impression that the reason we speak of America’s “special relationship” with the U.K. is that Britain is, well, special and needs a little extra help getting on in the world. After all, our former lords did scuttle their navy, declare war on “climate change,” and invite most of the third-world to invade their shores. Do these sound like the actions of a sane and competent empire or the delusional concerns of another mad English king?

For what it’s worth, Congress seemed to adore Mad King Chuck’s speech to the corrupt members of its dishonest and degenerate legislative body. Democrat senators and representatives — you know, the self-described “anti-authoritarians” inciting insurrection against the federal government and assassination attempts against President Trump — jumped to their feet to applaud a foreign king. Democrats actually love authoritarians, so long as those authoritarians believe what Democrats believe. And King Cuck Chuck speaks “Democrat” as well as the Democrats’ own Senate minority leader, up-Chuck Schumer.

Due to the globalists war on truth, ANP must depend on reader donations to keep the website active. Anything ANP readers can do to help is greatly appreciated.

Royal Chuck told America’s preeminent criminal class of insider-traders-posing-as-esteemed-lawmakers how important it is for the United States and the United Kingdom to remain partners in defending “democracy” around the world (so long as the U.S. military does all the hard work and American taxpayers foot the bill).

His Majesty “Chas Trips” reminded Congress of America’s obligation to defend Ukraine from Vladimir Putin because the United States is in NATO; and Article 5 requires the collective defense of all members; and Ukraine, of course, is not a member of NATO; but reasons and such; therefore, Americans must support non-NATO Ukraine because the British king who dreamed of being a tampon says so.

Chuck also pontificated on the importance of respecting the “rules-based international order” (which globalist financial elites from the City of London wrote so that globalist financial elites from the City of London could make lots of money). The British king took a number of swipes at President Trump by demanding “checks and balances” on the Executive Branch. If what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, we Americans would like to demand that the British stop making inbred dotards king.

Finally, Chuck III declared, “Nature is my god.” As someone who has chosen to “defend the Christian faith” by submitting to Islam, it’s hardly surprising that the British king worships Mother Earth, not Jesus Christ. Camilla’s poodle has replaced the Three Magi with Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, and John Kerry. If we little people don’t embrace serfdom, totalitarianism, and a global government run by ruling elites, then bad weather will kill us all. Of course, our would-be feudal lords have bunker-palaces in New Zealand where they can safely watch us die. Chuck’s Green New Deal commandment to Americans is thus: Submit to carbon taxes and global redistribution of wealth, or suffer damnation in hell (which almost certainly means being stuck listening to Thunberg, Gore, and Kerry whine for eternity).

I listened to Britain’s tampon king for one reason: to remind myself how awesome it is to be an American during this year, our country’s two-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday. Chuck did not disappoint. I’m extremely grateful our ancestors chucked the monarchy into the deep sea. Getting rid of useless kings was step one in making America great. Ignoring foreign kings who visit our shores is essential for keeping her great.
