Federer: Remembering the men who took a stand and the day the American revolution began
βTo disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.β β George Mason of Virginia. In April of 1775, the British Royal Military Governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, sent 800 British Army Regulars, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, on a preemptive raid to seize guns from American patriots at Lexington and Concord. As the sun rose, April 19, 1775, there were 800 British regulars approaching Lexingtonβs town green. To their surprise, they were met by Lexingtonβs militia, comprised of 77 men who were mostly members of the Church of Christ, pastored by Rev. Jonas Clark, whose wife was a cousin of John Hancock. Patriot captain John Parker told the militia: βStand your ground; donβt fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have War, let it begin here!β It is disputed who fired first, but the British opened fire and killed or wounded eighteen of Captain Parkerβs men. . . .
The American militia retreated, growing to number 400, and took a stand at Concordβs Old North Bridge.
NOTABLE QUOTES
Emerald Robinson Host @AbsoluteWithE X post: When Trump gets impeached, Democrats tell you it’s constitutional. When Mayorkas gets impeached, Democrats tell you it’s not constitutional. What’s the difference? Only Republicans get impeached in Biden’s banana republic. See how this works?
Bruce Bawer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: For many of us, the chilling abuses of power by left-wingers who are determined to bury the MAGA movement and its international counterparts havenβt just led us to worry about the present and future of American freedom. Theyβve caused us to wonder just how free weβve really been during the last half-century or so.
Bruce Bawer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Tens of millions of decent, patriotic Americans are not magically going to unlearn what theyβve learned in the last nine years. Theyβre not going to forget the vile lies, poisonous acts, and outright treason of Obama, the Clintons, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Rachel Maddow, John Brennan, Merrick Garland, Antony Blinken, Alejandro Mayoras, and a host of others. Theyβre not going to go back to believing in the good faith of the D.C. establishment [β¦] Because Trump did indeed effect nothing less than a revolution β a revolution of the American mind and heart and soul. He woke us up. He educated us, in a way that a teacher with a more sober and restrained classroom manner would never have been able to do. He showed us who our leaders really are and showed us whoΒ we, if we dare to take heart and take action, might be. He encouraged us β inspired us β to take our country back, all the while believing in its principles, its history, and (in spite of everything) its enduring promise.
Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: When rights are dependent on defining who the oppressed and the oppressors are, then those rights are not truly inalienable rights given by the Creator or by a foundational document, but by the constantly shifting paradigms of academia and the accompanying leftist politics. Who the oppressed and the oppressors are can change overnight, as feminists found out. Yesterday, women were the oppressed, today any man who puts on a dress is oppressed.
Lars MΓΈllerΒ contributor to American Thinker: The very idea that you, simply by virtue of being, should be entitled to wealth generated by others is like the introduction of a new system of privilege.
Vincent McNabb contributor to The Imaginative Conservative: A State in which each and all seek their own rights will be very effectively the Darwinian struggle for existence; or in Marxian language, βclass war.β But it will be warβand not peace.
James Bovard contributor to Brownstone Institute: When the government heaves the law and Constitution overboard, euphemisms become the coin of the realm. During the Bush era, it wasnβt tortureβit was merely βenhanced interrogationβ Nowadays, the issue is not βcensorshipββbut merely βcontent moderation.β And βmoderationβ is such a virtue that it happened millions of times a year thanks to the feds arm-twisting social media companies, according to federal court decisions.
Paul Gottfried contributor to The American Mind: The Jewish Left backed the creation of a society that loathes them.
Dr. Nick Oberheiden contributor to National Law Review: When the FBI contacts you, the best alternative is to ask for a lawyer. You have the right to have an attorney present anytime you are speaking with law enforcement officers, including FBI agents. However, do not rely on FBI agents to tell you this. In fact, agents will often downplay their suspicions about the target of their investigation to put the target at ease, hoping they will give them a statement. The better alternative is to demand a lawyer. This will give you and your attorney the opportunity to review the subject of the investigation, as well as any relevant documents, allowing you to make an accurate statement that will be less likely to harm you in the future.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
Sperry: Impeachment βWhistleblowerβ Was in the Loop of Biden-Ukraine Affairs That Trump Wanted Probed
The βwhistleblowerβ who sparked Donald Trumpβs first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Bidenβs office reveal. In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country. But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Bidenβs office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Bidenβs son Hunter millions of dollars.

BIDENβS DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF
Ewall-Wice: The 12 jurors picked in Trump’s hush money trial, including a woman who called him ‘selfish’
Twelve Manhattan residents have been picked to decide the fate ofΒ Donald TrumpΒ in his historic hush money trial. Seven men and five women – including a corporate lawyer and a woman who called the ex-president ‘selfish’ – will ultimately determine if Trump is guilty or not guilty of hiding a $130,000 payment to porn starΒ Stormy DanielsΒ to keep her quiet about their alleged affair. The brutal selection process which included extensive questioning and research into their backgrounds took three days to complete. Each chosen member answered ‘yes’ when asked if they could be impartial and fair in the trial of the first former president in history. Their identities will remain a secret unless they decide to come forward when the case is complete. [β¦] DailyMail.com breaks down who made the cut. B400 The Fox News and Daily Mail reader.

Widburg: The trouble with Trumpβs jurors shows the results of a post-truth society
Thereβs another fascinating and mostly unspoken lack of fairness here: The judge did something very unusual, which was to make Wednesday the day off from the trial rather than Friday. By doing so, he effectively barred from the courtroom the single most pro-Trump demographic in New York; namely, Orthodox Jews: Without Orthodox Jews to balance things out, of the original 96 jurors, half were instantly excused because they openly admitted to being biased against Trump. Thatβs an extraordinarily high rate to be excused upfront for bias. The jury selection process with the remaining 48 ostensibly unbiased people didnβt go well. One of the potential jurors [β¦] If we could be certain that the jury being seated in that New York courtroom believed in a just court and absolute truth, we could also reasonably believe that confronted with the facts, they might be able to rise above their prejudices and issue an honest verdict. But we donβt live in such a world. We live in a post-modern world that denies truth. Instead, we are surrounded by feelings, βlived experiences,β and that disastrous phrase, βmy truth.β And we all know that, for many people, βtheir truthβ is that they donβt want Trump to be president and that the greater good requires them to ignore the facts.

Wong: Nightmare in Niger β Exclusive: Biden Administration Leaves Hundreds of U.S. Troops βHostageβ in Niger
More than 1,000 U.S. troops are effectivelyΒ being held βhostageβ in Niger with medical supplies running low β stuck between the military junta-controlled governmentβs demands for them to leave and the Biden administrationβs refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News. In addition, the report accuses Biden administration officials of trying to cover up the situation to lawmakers, as well as to troops deployed there and their families anxiously awaiting their return. βOur troops are currently sitting on a powder keg caused by political indecision at the top of the Department ofΒ State and Department of Defense. With a military junta in charge β who detests our presence and considers usΒ unserious and predatory β the situation seems to be setting the groundwork for catastrophic diplomatic collapse likeΒ we saw during the 2012 Benghazi attack. Additionally, these troops are already running short on necessary, life-saving supplies, such as blood and medications,β the report by Gaetzβs office said. βThey are, in effect, hostages of an indecisive Commander-in-Chief,β the report said.

Ludwig: Automatic Voter Registration Exists To Keep Democrats In Power, So Why Arenβt Republicans Fighting It?
Election integrity hawks β myself among them β have spilled gallons of ink since 2020 exposing ballot drop boxes, βZuckbucks,β and voting machine vulnerabilities, and conservatives are all the better prepared to face the 2024 election for those efforts. But thereβs a massive front in this fight we canβt afford to overlook because weβre losing: voter registration. If getting out the vote (GOTV) is the key to winning elections, registering voters is the key to effective GOTV. But doing it at scale takes money and coordination, something Republican strategists and donors have almost totally ignored. As it stands, the left is more than a decade ahead in that race. Beginning around 2008, βprogressiveβ operatives discovered they could weaponize 501(c)(3) charities β the same part of the tax code as your local church or The Salvation Army β to identify and register tens of millions of new Democrat voters across the country purely by using demographics. Take it from the far-left Brennan Center, which birthed this scheme: To build aΒ permanent Democrat majority, we must bring βmillions of new voters onto the rolls through a modernized registration system β starting in 2010.β

Evertt: Senate advances spy powers bill amid huge surveillance fight
The Senate advanced a controversial surveillance bill on Thursday afternoon by a 67-32 vote, as leaders race to fight off attempts to change it that could result in a lapse over the weekend. The vote to break a filibuster on a law extending and reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Actβs section 702 authority sets up a crucial showdown before the Saturday expiration of the program. Critics of the authority, which allows warrantless surveillance of foreign targets, want major changes designed at making it much tougher to access American information that is swept up in the program. They also want to strike House language updating which data providersβ information could be used in the program. Due to Senate procedure, the spy powers law will expire on Saturday without agreement from all 100 senators to vote more quickly.

Hammer: Obama-Biden Foreign Policy Responsible for Iran’s Unprecedented Attack on Israel
The obvious question: How? How did we reach the point where Iran feels so emboldened, and so unafraid of any repercussions, that it lobs hundreds of offensive weapons from its own territory toward another sovereign nation β especially one so closely allied with the U.S. and interconnected with the broader Western order? The answer is just as clear as it is troubling: The Middle East “realignment” so doggedly pursued by President Joe Biden, and by former President Barack Obama before him, got us here. Under the Obama-Biden foreign policy doctrine, an Iran so emboldened that it feels free to wage offensive war against Israel in such brazen fashion is not a bug β it’s aΒ featureΒ .

McCann: Israel and America at a Crossroad
Since 1979 and the Iranian revolution, Iran and Israel have been undeclared enemies as Iran has used its proxy terrorist groups in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen to attack Israel. However, and most significantly, the April 13thΒ attack was launched directly from an emboldened Iran.
Iransβs belligerence necessitates a significant military response against Iranβs infrastructure and nuclear program regardless of the Biden Administrationβs duplicity. Iranβs lack of success on April 13thΒ has exposed the weakness and incompetence of its military. A massive military counterattack would cripple or perhaps end Iranβs long-term ambitions for Arab and Middle East hegemony. Three and half millennia of Jewish history is replete with examples of weakness on Israelβs part that further emboldened its enemies with dire consequences for the Jewish people. A lack of retaliation by Israel will embolden the mullahs of Iran with dire consequences for not only Israel but the nations of the Middle East and the world. The Hamas attack of October 7, 2024 and Iranβs de facto declaration of war on April 13, 2024 are the direct outcome of the Obama/Biden policy of appeasement and willingness to allow Iran to become a hegemonic nuclear power. They are the 21st-century equivalent of the spineless European appeasers of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

POST COVID BIDEN MANDATED VACCINATIONS
Cassie B.: How mRNA Covid βVaccinesβ Are Actually Destroying Peopleβs Immune Systems
We do know, however, that mRNA vaccines can cause a personβs immune system to become overstimulated, which is why so many people are experiencing inflammation and autoimmune reactions to the jabs. And while authorities claimed that the mRNA in these vaccines breaks down quickly and is eliminated by the body when they were pushing the jabs on the masses, this has turned out not to be the case at all. In fact, these vaccines were given emergency use authorization when clinical trials with them were only in phase 3 and real-world data was already showing a higher mortality rate among vaccinated individuals compared to those who were not vaccinated. They were also showing a higher risk of getting infected with the virus. This and other evidence pointed to COVID-19 vaccines destroying peopleβs natural immune responses. Another big risk of the jabs was severely underplayed by authorities: the activation of latent viruses. Many scientists were immediately concerned that these jabs could activate dormant viruses such as HIV and herpes and pushed for further research to be conducted into these risks before rolling out the shots. Another big problem with these vaccines is their potential to alter the ability of a personβs immune system to recognize and respond to. . . .

Gottfried: Golden for Whom
Aprilβs cover story inΒ The AtlanticΒ by Franklin Foer bears theΒ ominous titleΒ βThe Golden Age of Jews in America is Ending.β And lest we think that Foer is slamming only the Left, to which he and the magazineβs editorial staff are, with some reservations, still passionately devoted, the preliminary summary of Foerβs lugubrious essay provides this information: βThe rise of anti-Semitism on the political right is well documented, with Donald Trump attracting the allegiance of white supremacists and freely borrowing their tropes.β Foer is correct that the fitful anti-Israeli rage of the non-Jewish Left is spilling over into overt anti-Semitism. What he does not demonstrate, however, is a charge that he and the rest of the Jewish Left canβt let go of. Foer and his colleagues want to relate the surge of anti-Jewish feelings in the U.S. to an epidemic of hate fueled partly by Trumpβs βtropes.β Unfortunately for their fixation, there is no evidence that Trump is a βwhite supremacistβ or that MAGA Republicans are engaged in anti-Jewish violence. [β¦] Up until the 1920s most American Jews were certainly not on the Left; and even as late as 2020, 31 percent of American Jewish voters cast ballots for Trump. Although Foer is entitled to his own golden age for American Jews, those of us who donβt share his politics may see things differently. [β¦] Foer and his friends are not eager to restore such an environment, because it conflicts with their notions of equity and their abstract universalism. And so they squawk about the effects of living in the society they helped build; and as the ultimate expression of chutzpa, they link the chaos to which they contributed to Donald Trumpβs unproven racism.

Williams: ‘Have an abortion with me!’ Women take to TikTok to share their at-home, medical terminations as pills become more available in blue states
Multiple women have taken to social media to share ‘day in the life’ vlogs documenting the process of terminating their pregnancy at home and offering advice to other who plan on doing so. Sunni, who goes by @justsunni on TikTok, said she decided to share the lighthearted vlog because this is the type of video she was looking for beforehand. ‘Have an abortion with me,’ she begins her ‘Abortion Vlog’ as she twirls around her kitchen as ‘bright, gentle, spring jazz piano’ music plays in the background.

Kottasz: Croatia is Moving Further to the Right
The centre-right ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) won its fourth parliamentary elections in a row on Wednesday, April 17th, but it will likely have to rely on the conservative, patriotic Homeland Movement to form a government.
