U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who is well-known for prompting the ouster of anti-Semitic college presidents, is predicting the former CNN White House correspondent chosen to be the new president of Columbia University will be forced to resign in the coming weeks.

Stefanik madę the prediction regarding Claire Shipman on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.

“We have seen six high-profile university presidents resign, two of which are from Columbia, because these university presidents have failed to show moral, strong leadership. And President Trump, as he campaigned on, is holding them accountable,” Stefanik said.

“The decision to withhold federal funding from Columbia, that’s what the American people wanted. That is what they voted for because these universities have failed to make sure that they are following their own rules. They have failed to protect Jewish students.

“But the fact that we’re on the third Columbia university president, and this one, let’s be honest, Maria, is not gonna last as well. It’s already come out that she has criticized and belittled the House investigation and the accountability measures and has failed to protect Jewish students.”

Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

As the New York Post indicated, Shipman, whose ex-husband is former Obama Administration press secretary Jay Carney, served as co-chair of the Columbia’s board of trustees before she was appointed Friday night to replace interim school president Katrina Armstrong.

The Post explained: “In a Dec. 28, 2023, text message, Shipman wrote to then university president Minouche Shafik she thought Columbia would be spared from the ‘capital hill nonsense,’ referring to December 2023 congressional hearings that saw the presidents of Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania and MIT testify about campus protests against the war in Gaza.”

Stefanik said of Shipman’s Capitol Hill “nonsense” remark: “That is what this latest Columbia University president said. That’s why it’s untenable for her to be in this position. And I think it is only going to be a matter of weeks before she is forced to step down as well.

“They still don’t get it, the faculty doesn’t get it. These radical, far-left students [don’t’] get it. But the fact that President Trump, not only is he revoking the visas for the pro-Hamas foreign agitators and anti-Semites on campus, he is also withholding those federal dollars.

“These universities are not entitled to those federal dollars. They have to ensure that they are protecting Jewish students on campus. So again, we are just seeing a failure within higher education.”

Stefanik, whose name was removed from consideration for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to help bolster Republican votes in the House of Representatives, praised what she said is “strong leadership from President Trump.”

“I am going to continue to lead this effort in holding higher ed accountable, standing up to be good stewards of U.S. taxpayer dollars, and combatting the rot and the scourge of anti-Semitism in higher ed.”

On the same program, U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon noted of the anti-Semitic events at Columbia, “Jewish students have told me they were afraid to go across campus.”

She supports the cutting of $400 million in federal funds from the school, saying, “We’re letting them know that we’re holding them accountable.”

Three Republican Senators announced Thursday they had proposed a bill to entirely dismantle the Department of Education by 2026.

Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Bernie Moreno of Ohio introduced the bill in a “commitment to decentralization and individual freedom, aiming for a high-quality education free from federal interference,” according to a press release. If passed, the Department of Education would be fully terminated on Dec. 31, 2026.

Though President Donald Trump issued an executive order on March 20 calling on Education Secretary Linda McMahon to see to the department’s dismemberment, a complete abolition would require congressional approval. Many Democrats have expressed disapproval for the shuttering of the department, and none have come out in support of the decision.

“Since its creation 45 years ago, the Department of Education has presided over a decline in academic achievement, skyrocketing college costs, and the woke takeover of our schools,” Lee told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s past time that we fully return education to the states and eliminate this unconstitutional federal agency.”

A spokesman for Moreno referred the DCNF to the Senator’s statement in a press release announcing the bill.

“There is no constitutional role for the federal government in education, and returning power to the states will empower parents, cut red tape, and give our students the opportunity to receive the best possible education,” Moreno said. “After over 4 decades of Republicans promising to abolish the Department of Education, President Trump and Senate Republicans are finally delivering. This was a key part of what I campaigned on, and I’m proud to join Senator Paul and my colleagues on this long-overdue legislation.”

Calls to shutter the education department stem from the lack of academic success seen during its oversight, with test scores plummeting and the agency becoming increasingly defined by its push of left-wing ideas such as critical race theory, gender ideology and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

McMahon has already begun the process of shrinking the agency, with nearly half of staff cut in early March and several of the department’s services, including managing student loans and overseeing programs for students with disabilities, have been shifted to other agencies.

A coalition of 20 states along with Washington, D.C. have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for the staff cuts, saying the states will suffer “immense damage” due to the cuts.

Sen. Paul did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Concerns over Communist China’s navy and the threat it poses to U.S. interests have increased at alarming rates through the years, with multiple reports revealing that China is outpacing the United States in both naval and commercial ship production.

For the U.S., the shipbuilding industry is unquestionably vital to its economy and its national security. For this reason, on March 4 President Donald Trump announced in a joint address to Congress that he would “create a new office of shipbuilding in the White House and offer special tax incentives [for the sector].”

WorldNetDaily interviewed Col. Grant Newsham, USMC-Ret., who once served as the first Marine liaison officer to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. According to Newsham, “The Chinese shipbuilding industry and its dominance didn’t come about by coincidence,” adding, “The Chinese Communist Party placing priority on shipbuilding is just one segment of the strategy of [becoming] the world leader in manufacturing.”

“Shipbuilding,” Newsham noted, “is a ‘big ticket’ industry. It’s immensely profitable when you dominate a market – especially one that provides products – ships in this case – that all other nations depend on, either directly or indirectly.” It is that dependency, he stressed, that “gives China leverage over countries it regards as rivals and even enemies.”

“All in all,” he said, “the CCP views shipbuilding as one front in the ‘economic warfare’ it conducts against the USA and the West – and it has been hugely successful strengthening itself and its relative position while beating down its adversaries.”

For Newsham, resurrecting America’s shipbuilding industry, both military and commercial, is a must. The economic benefits cannot be disputed. “Control and independence” are essential to the international trade network, he said, explaining that “a trading nation with global interests like the United States needs to have its own commercial fleet.”

And with trading activity comes the need for security. “Enemies will try to interdict your trading activities, and your commercial ships,” Newsham pointed out. “This requires a large enough navy to protect trade,” which he asserted is “literally the lifeblood of the United States.” For Newsham, “A powerful Navy and a large commercial fleet go hand in hand for a country like the United States.”

Thus, a build-up of the U.S. Navy is “indispensable,” according to Newsham. “Without a large enough and powerful enough U.S. Navy,” he warned, “the United States could easily become a second-rate nation dominated by enemies with powerful navies that can – either individually or collectively – dictate how, what and with whom America trades.”

What’s more, in a warfighting capacity, the retired Marine Corps officer said, “You have simply got to have enough ships to deploy as needed far-and-wide and [the ability] to concentrate them in force as needed.”

“Technology does not make up for numbers, except perhaps if you’re fighting pirates off of Somalia or Nigeria,” he argued. “Even then the bad guys are getting technology that can cause even a modern Navy considerable trouble. We’re seeing this phenomenon play out against the Houthis in Yemen.”

“Even with Iranian help,” Newsham explained, “the Houthis are a third- or fourth-rate force, but you can see how we need U.S. Navy ships in adequate numbers in order to defeat them and re-open a key global trade artery.” For Newsham, it’s worth noticing that “our European allies that have shrunken navies are basically of no help and would, by themselves, be unable to keep the Red Sea open.”

“The lesson here: You must have numbers, and Mr. Trump is right to try to revive U.S. commercial and military shipbuilding capabilities.”

Newsham is author of the 2023 book “When China Attacks: A Warning to America.”

Remember the movie “City Slickers”?

Billy Crystal asked for the secret to life. Jack Palance said, “One thing.”

President Donald Trump is the G.O.A.T. (the greatest of all time). His first two months have been a work of art. My fans love him. But one thing is missing. One thing that matters above all else:

WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS?

Because I host national TV and radio shows and a daily video podcast, I am blessed to receive thousands of emails from my fans. I am honored. I read every one of them.

That is what gives me my edge. I understand exactly what the American people are thinking, feeling and experiencing because I listen to the American people.

Ninety-nine percent of politicians never read a single letter or email from their constituents. They get their advice from listening to fake news media and fake pollsters. Or they listen to donors, lawyers, lobbyists, economists and fellow D.C. politicians.

What a terrible mistake.

The American people are smart. Not book smart or Harvard degree smart but street smart. They see and feel exactly what’s going on with this country, culture and economy because they’re living it.

It pays to listen to the people like this.

The people who watch and listen to my shows remind me of my father David Root, a blue-collar butcher. He may not have had a college degree, but he was always right.

My fans are just like my dad – salt of the earth, middle-class Americans. I value their opinions more than any Wall Street hedge fund manager, Silicon Valley CEO, powerful politician or media mogul.

The American people are smarter than all of them.

So, what are all these thousands of emails I get from average middle-class Americans telling me? Here goes …

They all love and appreciate President Trump. They believe he is the greatest president of our lifetime – maybe ever. They believe he is the only politician of their lifetimes on their side. They trust he really does want to make America great again.

They all agree the deck is stacked. It’s Trump against the deep state, D.C. swamp, political establishment, our own government and pretty much the whole world.

My viewers and listeners love 99% of what Trump has done in his first two months as president (call it Trump 2.0).

But there is ONE THING Trump has not done yet that everyone wants to see happen – the one thing that they all believe needs to happen, the one thing that will make America great again.

The one thing I hear from almost everyone is …

WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS?

Here is what average everyday Americans know:

They know the “resistance judges” desperate to block Trump’s agenda are dirty. They are on the payroll of either the deep state or our foreign enemies. Where are the investigations? Where are the arrests?

They know the Democrat politicians and RINOs blocking Trump’s agenda are on the deep state payroll. Where are the arrests?

Attorney General Pam Bondi said on the Sunday morning shows that she will defund cities and states that block the mass deportation. But that’s not enough.

Where are the arrests of the politicians and government officials who are breaking the law, protecting the criminals and blocking the deportations?

Alejandro Mayorkas was the guy who carried out the intentional destruction of America through the open border. So, why isn’t he under arrest?

They believe George Soros is a key figure behind all of this. They believe he is the guy funding the resistance. They believe he is funding this coup against Trump. They believe he was funding the open border. Soros’ Open Society Foundations offices were just raided in India. Why aren’t we raiding his offices in America? Where are the arrests?

They believe all roads lead to Barack Obama. The American people know Joe Biden’s presidency was really Obama’s third term. Obama was giving the orders. Obama ordered the weaponization of government and the spying on Trump. These are serious crimes. So, where are the arrests?

They all love what Elon Musk is doing with DOGE. He has uncovered the looting of America. It’s great he’s exposing all this theft, it’s great he’s clawing back the money, but …

Where are the arrests of all these corrupt government bureaucrats who stole the money?

We know the Biden Crime Family and Clinton Crime Family extorted and stole perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. Where are the arrests?

We know the government censored and silenced conservatives – in conjunction with the media, social media and even Stanford University. Mark Zuckerberg confessed in writing. Where are the arrests?

They know Dr. Anthony Fauci lied about everything involving COVID research and origins. They know he covered up deaths from the vaccine, and millions are dead or badly injured because of his lies and greed. Fauci committed “crimes against humanity.” Where are the arrests?

They know USAID was the CIA’s slush fund used to fund corruption, crime, media propaganda and Democrat Party scams. Where are the arrests?

They know the Ukraine war was one big money-laundering operation. Where are the arrests?

They know Kamala Harris’ all-time-record $1.5 billion campaign war chest was a scam. Most of that money came from illegal foreign donations. Where are the arrests?

They know that a climate change organization tied to Stacey Abrams, with $100 in revenues, was given $2 billion by the Biden administration. The money has been clawed back. But where are the arrests?

I could go on and on for hours.

My fans may not be Harvard educated, but they weren’t born yesterday. We all see the fraud, extortion, looting, bribery, treason, persecution and intentional destruction of America.

The question is, where are the arrests?

Because we all believe that no matter how great President Trump is, and no matter how hard he tries, without mass arrests of the bad guys, without severe punishment, without justice, the corruption will never end, and we will never make America great again.

That’s the one thing that’s missing so far.

The venerable logical principle known as “Occam’s razor,” attributed to the 14th-century English philosopher and theologian William of Ockham, asserts that when confronted with multiple possible explanations for a causal phenomenon, the simplest explanation is – absent persuasive evidence to the contrary – usually correct.

Although hardly foolproof or comprehensive, Occam’s razor has the benefit of simply making a lot of sense. The problem is that Occam’s razor, as a general signpost to help make sense of the many things happening all around us, falls out of favor in an era when institutional trust is in free fall. And so it is today: From organized religion to the military to the media to Wall Street to public health authorities to Congress and the Supreme Court, public polling across recent decades typically shows a very negative trendline when it comes to Americans’ trust in virtually all of our major institutions.

To be sure, much of this collapse in public trust has been self-inflicted.

The Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal, which first came to light over two decades ago, undermined public trust in institutional religion in general. The legacy media have largely abandoned any pretense of objectivity or political neutrality, acting instead as left-wing culture-warring crusaders. Wall Street did itself no favors with the 2008 global financial crisis – as well as the subsequent Troubled Asset Relief Program bailout. Public health officials utterly botched their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, on everything from lockdown and vaccine efficacy to the virus’s origins in China. Congress often seems incapable of doing anything other than hurl petty invectives across the aisle. And the Supreme Court is led by a chief justice who, as this column noted just last week, ironically exalts his tribunal’s “institutional integrity” so much that he ends up delegitimizing it.

We live in a decidedly populist age, and much of our underlying angst is justified – indeed, it is sometimes righteous. Public authorities have routinely dropped the ball and made egregiously bad decisions. Media bias is very real – and so is congressional incompetence. Oftentimes, the American ruling class – as the late, great intellectual Angelo Codevilla famously described it in a 2010 essay – really does prioritize its own parochial interests over the supreme imperative of the common good.

But there is a profound danger, always bubbling just below the surface, of anti-institutional sentiment going too far. Institutional dysfunction trains us to find or dream up arcane and irrational explanations for what we see in the world. At some point, Occam’s razor gets turned on its head: The simplest or most logical explanation cannot possibly be true because that’s what the powers that be want you to believe! Alternative explanations, often wildly elaborate and bearing little to no basis in factual reality, are proposed – sometimes in a circuitous manner, done in the ostensible name of “just asking questions.”

We saw this familiar script play out in the major domestic story of the past week: the “Signalgate” group chat texting scandal that has taken the nation by storm.

In this week’s headline-grabbing Signalgate controversy, the left-wing editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inexplicably added to a high-level group chat earlier this month on the encrypted commercial messaging app Signal. The chat, comprising top-ranking Trump administration officials such as Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and national security adviser Michael Waltz, debated and discussed plans for U.S. strikes on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen (which have since come to fruition). They all seemed oblivious to Goldberg’s lurking digital presence.

There are numerous glaring questions that must be asked from this most embarrassing error, perhaps chief among them: How in the world did Goldberg, who did more than any other journalist in America to sell former President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal one decade ago, get added to this chat?

Waltz organized the Signal chat, and many have been calling for his head all week. Waltz, a four-time Bronze Star recipient who became the first Army Special Forces soldier ever elected to Congress, tends – like President Donald Trump himself – to be more aggressive when it comes to confronting the terrorist Iranian regime and its sprawling web of regional proxies. Accordingly, there are actors on both the left and the Tucker Carlson-aligned right who want to sideline Waltz. Some of these propagandists have thus speculated that perhaps Waltz intentionally leaked to the execrable Goldberg – or perhaps that Waltz served as a Goldberg source inside the Trump administration.

But these ideologically driven explanations for Signalgate are implausible. The simplest explanation, per Occam’s razor, is that a Waltz staffer messed up – badly – by adding the wrong person styled “JG” into a group chat. To borrow another logical principle, Hanlon’s razor: Don’t ascribe to malice that which can be otherwise explained by rank incompetence. And so it is here as well. In this instance, the Waltz staffer should be fired posthaste, the administration should vow to do better, and that ought to be the end of the

An American woman who was detained for weeks in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan has been released and now is safe in the hands of the Qataris.

According to a report in the Washington Examiner, Faye Hall was released Thursday following a court order and with logistical support from Qatar in its role as the United States’s protecting power in Afghanistan.

Hall was detained on charges of using a drone without authorization in February.

In a heartwarming video, the released American thank President Trump for her release and mentioned other women being held in Afghan jails.

“Mr. President, I voted for you twice. First of all, I’m so glad you are in the office. It’s the new era, and in this situation, I’m glad you are the president,” Hall said.

“Thank you for bringing me home. I’ve never been so proud to be an American citizen. Thank you, Mr. President. I just want you to know all the women in the Afghan jail they always ask me, ‘When is Trump coming?’ Truly they just treat you like their savior. They’re waiting for you to come and set them free,” she added. “Just sends regards and just don’t want to forget all those women still in jail and don’t have any rights. Thank you, Mr. President, and God bless you.”

Watch Hall’s video:

Nearly 5,000 voter registrations in the city of Milwaukee have been legally challenged for irregularities, potential fraud, and blatant violations of state and federal law.

The comprehensive legal filing, submitted by concerned citizens Justin Gavery and Joe Nolan, exposes what many conservatives have warned about for years: a broken election system ripe for abuse.

The challenge, backed by the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and a long list of Wisconsin statutes, calls on the Milwaukee Election Commission (MEC) to investigate and take immediate action on 4,878 questionable voter records.

According to the document obtained by Just the News, all of these individuals cast ballots in the November 5th, 2025 national election.

The report relies on data from the USPS’s CASS® (Coding Accuracy Support System) and National Change of Address (NCOA) databases—tools that objectively verify the accuracy of mailing addresses.

According to the letter sent to Executive Director of Milwaukee Elections Paulina Gutierrez:

On February 20, 2025 a new statewide voter registration list was purchased from WEC’s Badger Voter website. We ran it through our TITAN system which compares it against the US Postal Services main database and also its National Change of Address database. We found many issues, irregularities and also voter fraud.

Each name and address were submitted through the USPS CASS® (Coding Accuracy Support System) evaluation system.

The USPS CASS® evaluation is run against several progressively deeper-leveled databases, such as: state, city, zipcode-S-digit, a check on those 3 columns together, then a check against the street name with in them, then a street number range check, then a check against the actual street number in the “Zip_4” database, and then a check on apt_unit at that specific building, then a check if that address is unoccupied, and then other specialty checks. It returns many columns, each with detailed codes describing one or more problems with each address on this list.

More on CASS: (Coding Accuracy Support System) Certification is a program that was developed by the USPS to test the accuracy of address-matching software and improve the accuracy of postal coding, such as ZIP+4 Code®, carrier route and 5-digit ZIP Code coding.

https://postalpro.usps.com › CASS › CASSTECH_N The bottom line is that the USPS has declared that all of the items in this report cannot be mailed without mailing address correction(s).

The findings are nothing short of alarming:

• 2,926 registrations listed incorrect or missing apartment numbers, a violation of legal address requirements and a break in chain of custody.

• 540 voters were flagged as “N” or Blank, indicating they no longer reside at the address on record.

• 501 voters listed P.O. Boxes as physical addresses, a direct violation of Wisconsin voter law.

• 377 had filed permanent change-of-address requests out of state, yet still managed to vote in Wisconsin.

• 281 moved to a different county within Wisconsin before the legal voting cutoff date—again, still allowed to vote.

• 217 left no forwarding address before October 24, 2024.

• 24 were registered at commercial mail-handling locations like UPS or FedEx stores.

• 11 were shockingly registered to USPS post office buildings themselves.

When Gavery inquired whether the commission would investigate potential voter fraud, he received a brisk response: “Meeting adjourned.”

Earlier this month, The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a Wisconsin election clerk has come forward with a chilling warning about major vulnerabilities in the state’s absentee ballot system, raising urgent concerns about election integrity just weeks before a crucial Supreme Court election.

Fearing retaliation and job loss, the clerk remains anonymous but reached out to The Gateway Pundit in a desperate plea to expose a serious threat to election security.

According to this whistleblower, a primary election glitch involving the state’s electronic voter registration system, Badger Books, could serve as a preview of potential fraud in the upcoming election.

The clerk, who has been working elections for years, insists that irregularities have been occurring since at least 2018. With the April election just around the corner, the clerk believes the issue is more critical than ever.

According to Scott Pressler, George Soros is attempting to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court to enable liberals to gerrymander the state’s congressional maps—a move that could help Democrats take control of the House in 2026.

President Donald Trump has just thrown his full weight behind Brad Schimel in the critical race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and it’s a call to arms for every patriot in the Badger State.

The entire staff of the federal government’s Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy is expected to be laid off, multiple federal health officials told CBS News Friday. The moves are part of a broader restructuring plan ordered by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that involves cutting 20,000 HHS positions.

Much of the government’s efforts to buoy lagging childhood vaccination rates nationwide have been run through OIDP, including a new campaign called “Let’s Get Real” that had launched in the final months of the Biden administration to provide resources and information to health care providers talking to hesitant parents.

“Spreading the truth saves lives, so use our resources to help parents understand how vaccines work, why they’re safe, and how they help protect kids,” the department had said of the campaign after it was launched.

The U.S. Naval Academy will no longer consider race, ethnicity or sex as a factor for admission to the service institution, according to federal court documents made public Friday.

The change in policy was made in February by Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, the academy’s superintendent, in response to an executive order issued by President Trump, according to a court filing by the U.S. Justice Department in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The president’s Jan. 27 order said that “every element of the Armed Forces should operate free from any preference based on race or sex.” It also directed the secretary of defense to conduct an internal review with respect to all “activities designed to promote a race- or sex-based preferences system,” including reviews at the service academies.
