James Carville is sounding alarm bells after footage resurfaced of "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) ranting against White men, Fox News reported. The Democratic Party strategist says Omar and her ilk "are more trouble than they're worth" for the party.
In 2018, Omar made a racially charged assertion against White men while speaking to Al Jazeera. "Our country should be more fearful of White men because they are causing most of the deaths within this country," Omar claimed.
"We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of White men," Omar asserted. The video was recently reshared throughout social media, including on X under the Libs of TikTok account.

While speaking at the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London, Carville acknowledged just how terrible Omar is for the Democratic Party. "Ilhan Omar says that White men are responsible for most of the deaths in the United States," Carville reiterated.
"So let me get this straight, 69% of the people — why I’m stuck on that number, I don’t know — but 69% of the people going to vote are White. Of that, 48.5 are males," he added.
"So, I don’t know, my rough math is 33%? That’s a lot of pissed-off 33% of people that vote, and that’s a smart strategy?" Carville went on.
"And there are people that agree with her! There are people that actually agree with her!" Carville said incredulously.
"And I think it’s, honestly, I think these people are more trouble than they’re worth," he added. Indeed, Omar recently went viral with another offensive move after she told Myles Morell from the Daily Caller News Foundation to "f--- off."
Omar is no stranger to controversy and making enemies, but Vice President J.D. Vance was particularly incensed by Omar's remarks. "This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language," Vance said on social media.
"What a disgrace this person is," he added. After receiving such criticism, Omar doubled down on her remarks in a statement to Fox News Digital and upped the ante.
"In this nearly 8yr old clip, I am referring to the rise of white nationalism in an annual report issued by the Anti-Defamation League that said White supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of ‘extremist-related murders.' PS you should look up what ‘genocidal’ actually means when you’re actively supporting a genocide taking place in Gaza," Omar said.
Besides her diatribe against White men, Omar is also often fond of making antisemitic remarks. In fact, Omar has been censured by her colleagues for making offensive remarks against Jewish people.
Omar is a lawmaker who is supposed to represent the people who voted for her in Minnesota. Instead, she represents the worst kind of bigotry and hatred for others, and Carville is right that it will be Democrats' undoing.
White House Border czar Tom Homan issued a warning to "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) about continuing to help illegal immigrants evade deportation, Fox News reported. Homan said that the "tables have now turned."
Homan appeared on The Ingraham Angle Tuesday to speak out against Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk. Last week, the leftist lawmaker held a town hall event in Queens where she taunted Homan about her flippant disregard for immigration law.
This comes after her office also hosted a February "Know Your Rights" webinar to help illegal immigrants evade capture. Homan indicated he is not taking these actions lightly.
Whether she is aiming for political clout or seriously telling illegal immigrants how to break the law, Ocasio-Cortez is playing a dangerous game. Homan did not take kindly to her latest stunt and called her out on it.
"I take pleasure [that] I can live in her mind rent-free every day, but we all know exactly what she's doing. She's educating the worst of the worst [on] how do we evade law enforcement," Homan said.
"But the tables have now turned. She's educating people how to get prosecuted, because you have a final order," Homan said, referring to the last step of the legal process to deport an illegal immigrant.
"It is illegal not to comply with that order. It's a crime to take steps to... not comply with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] removal orders or not comply with ICE actions taken in custody," Homan warned.
"You can't hinder your own removal that was ordered by the federal judge. I would like AOC to read Title 8, United States Code 1253 because it's starting tomorrow," he added.
As an elected official, Ocasio-Cortez surely knows that her role in helping lawbreakers evade capture is a crime. Still, she publicly proclaimed her intention to flout the law and help others do the same at her town hall meeting Friday.
"Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to the DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me, do I look like I care?" Ocasio-Cortez said.
She taunted Homan, stating that there is "nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me." However, Homan is not going to budge in this game of chicken that the two are playing.
"Game's over. We're going to look for these public safety threats, and we're going to take them off those streets in New York and every other sanctuary city," Homan said, vowing to prosecute anyone standing in the way of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Ocasio-Cortez and other leftists are brazenly encouraging others to flout immigration law because they think there will be no consequences. However, Homan doesn't seem to be a man to trifle with, and she may soon find out just how serious he is.
Last week, John Thune, the majority leader in the Senate, told Breitbart News that President Trump's progress at the U.S.-Mexico border has been "mind-blowing" and "staggering."
Thune said those things in a long interview with Breitbart News that was filmed last week in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, as Breitbart News reported.
“I think you have to—what he’s had so far, it’s hard to characterize it as anything but just a staggering success,” Thune said during his recent interview.
“It is—you look at what they were under Biden a year ago, you’re talking about 10,000 or 11,000 a day and now we’re down to 200 a day, it is almost mind-blowing in terms of how much difference the leadership of President and the White House has made over Biden’s open borders policy.
The lawmaker said he expects the president to continue to push resources toward Border Patrol agents and supply needed money for the wall and detention beds: "All of those things needed to continue to secure the border."
Senate Republicans, according to Thune, would work as "partners" with Trump to further secure the border and provide him with additional funding to do so.
In the current proposal being worked on by Congress, he assured that a "generational investment in border security" will be included in the Trump agenda.
“We are going to be partners with him. In the reconciliation bill, we’re working on—we have a generational investment in border security that the president will be able to use as a tool to continue to get that job done,” Thune said.
The measure soon to hit the Senate floor will likely include immigration restrictions, but Thune said Congress will also push for more funding to enhance energy production.
He had harsh words for Senate Democrats for unanimously opposing President Trump's emergency declaration on energy production and stated that Republicans are poised to provide Trump more money to enhance energy output.
The lawmaker said the Democrats' response to energy-related topics is an example of how the Democratic Party is being held "hostage" by the far left.
"Voting against an energy emergency in this country when we clearly have an energy emergency—you look at just as an example electricity, you have artificial intelligence, you got data centers, you got crypto mines, all of these things are incredibly power-intensive, and then of course the Democrats wanted to have everybody already driving electric vehicles,” Thune said.
More Senate Priorities
In addition to these items, Thune emphasized the Senate GOP's efforts to eliminate Biden's regulations by employing the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
“The Biden administration, as you could expect, characteristically relied heavily on the use of regulations to implement their agenda,” Thune said in the interview taped last week.
“A lot of their agenda, of course, was the Green New Deal. It was a lot of their climate agenda.
The United States Supreme Court recently took a pivotal step by allowing President Donald Trump to proceed with his policy that excludes openly transgender individuals from the military. This decision represents a significant triumph for President Trump as it removes a nationwide injunction and permits the policy to remain active while the current legal matters are addressed.
In a closely observed decision on Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted an emergency request made by the Trump administration to put an end to the injunction that had prevented the implementation of the military policy excluding openly transgender individuals.
The court's action effectively overturned a previous ruling by a U.S. District Judge in Washington, who had issued a temporary injunction against the ban in March. This ruling is pending an appeal in the Ninth Circuit, as well as a potential further appeal to the Supreme Court. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, expressing their opposition to lifting the stay.
Opposition to the policy involved concerns that halting it might impact U.S. military preparedness. The Trump administration successfully forwarded its argument that maintaining the policy aligned with national security interests through the Supreme Court's lifting of the injunction. At the heart of this decision was Trump's January executive order, which emphasized "military excellence and readiness" and addressed the impact of gender dysphoria, among other factors.
The administration further implemented the policy changes through a directive issued by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on February 7—this directive called for a suspension of new accessions and medical procedures linked to gender transitions. The changes were positioned as necessary for the readiness and efficiency of military troops.
The legal challenge to the policy has been ongoing, initially resulting in a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle in March. This ruling blocked the implementation of the policy, prompting the administration to request the Supreme Court to intervene. The plaintiffs, however, were invited by the court to quickly respond to this complex situation.
Adding to the context, a Rasmussen Reports survey held in late January and early February indicated that a slight majority of likely voters supported the policy. Specifically, 54% were in favor, while 41% disapproved of the idea of discharging transgender service members.
The decision marks a critical moment in a legal journey packed with political and social implications. It granted a temporary respite for President Trump's policy amid ongoing litigation and potential appeals, including a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The broader legal proceedings underscore a sharp divide over the rights of transgender Americans in military service.
President Trump's executive order drew criticism and praise alike, against the backdrop of America's complex socio-political landscape. The order itself named "inconsistencies" within the context of gender dysphoria and pronoun use, as reasons for restricting transgender troops. The directive aimed to reconcile military priorities with evolving social standards, though not without fervent debate.
While the Supreme Court's decision may temporarily quell one aspect of this legal and societal dispute, it inherently sets the stage for further legal confrontations. As the appeals process continues, those opposed to the policy emphasize its discriminatory nature and the potential harm it poses to military cohesion and morale.
This development reflects the broader societal debate about inclusion, equality, and military standards, raising significant questions about the balance between individual rights and national security objectives. The evolving policy landscape signifies a complex intersection of ethics, military duty, and civil rights within American governance.
Ultimately, the Supreme Court's decision to lift the injunction opens new chapters in the ongoing legal and cultural conversation. The coming months will likely bring further judicial review and public discourse as all parties involved brace for continued challenges ahead.
The Trump administration is targeting criminal illegal aliens at courthouses across the country, in a reversal from Biden-era policies that hogtied Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Among those arrested in the recent courthouse sweeps is Juan Carlos Baez, who has previous convictions for drug trafficking cocaine and heroin. He was arrested outside a courthouse in Boston, "since Boston has declared itself a sanctuary jurisdiction and does not honor ICE detainers," the Department of Homeland Security said in a press release.
Three of the aliens who were arrested near courthouses are accused of drunk driving, an offense the Biden administration designated as not serious enough to warrant ICE's attention.
Trump has since revoked Biden-era restrictions on ICE arrests, including limits on arrests at so-called sensitive locations like churches and courthouses.
The restrictions imposed by Biden's DHS secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, barred ICE agents from arresting suspected criminals at courthouses unless they fell into certain high-risk categories. Mayorkas said that courthouse arrests during the first Trump administration had a chilling effect on people involved in criminal cases.
Some of the aliens arrested in the DHS's court sweeps have proven stubborn to deport. Carlos Gomez Viuda, a citizen of El Salvador, was arrested in December 2024 for driving under the influence of alcohol and with a suspended or revoked license and violating probation, more than a decade after he was ordered removed to his native country in 2010.
An illegal alien from Guatemala, Fernando Lorenzo-Raymundo, was charged with failing to report a deadly traffic accident that killed a man who was crossing the road in his wheelchair. Lorenzo-Raymundo entered the U.S. illegally in 2013 and was later arrested and released into the interior of the country again in March 2024, under Biden.
Trump officials have said courthouse arrests are safer - and made all the more necessary by "sanctuary" policies that tie the hands of ICE agents. The DHS claims to have experienced a 413% increase in assaults on immigration officers.
“The ability of law enforcement to make arrests of criminal illegal aliens in courthouses is common sense,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“It conserves valuable law enforcement resources because they already know where a target will be. It is also safer for our officers and the community. These illegal aliens have gone through security and been screened to not have any weapons. Secretary Noem is empowering law enforcement to use common sense to remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities.”
Trump's tough-on-immigration agenda is popular, but his efforts to swiftly deport illegal aliens have faced pushback in the courts and the media.
One judge in Wisconsin is even facing criminal charges for obstruction after she allegedly helped an alien through a backdoor to avoid his lawful arrest by immigration agents.
Border crossings have plummeted to historic lows since Trump returned to the White House and reinstated his tough-on-immigration policies. Border arrests hit the lowest level ever recorded in March.
The administration has also floated voluntary incentives to encourage self-deportation, sending a clear message that illegal immigration will no longer be tolerated.

President Donald Trump has rolled out the first of the trade agreements he's been pursuing, expressing confidence that it will solidify trade between the two nations "for many years to come."
On Truth Social, he announced, "The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come. Because of our long time history and allegiance together, it is a great honor to have the United Kingdom as our FIRST announcement. Many other deals, which are in serious stages of negotiation, to follow!"
Detractors immediately nit-picked the announcement, pointing out that trade with the U.K. already is an accepted part of American business, and the 2024 trade value reached about $262 billion.
Leading the activity were cars, pharmaceutical products, scientific instruments and aircraft.
A report at the Washington Examiner noted the announcement followed Trump's revelation that this was his goal with his tariff announcement weeks ago.
And more deals are predicted by the Trump administration.
Trump, in fact, said multiple other deals are in "serious stages of negotiations."
Trump already has accepted an invitation from King Charles III for another state visit to the U.K.
At the time the invitation was delivered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he said, "The answer is yes. On behalf of our wonderful first lady, Melania, and myself, the answer is yes, and we look forward to being there, and honoring the king, and honoring, really, your country."
The American stock market reacted negatively to the announcement of the tariffs weeks ago, but since then largely has rebounded.
Just days ago, Trump said he had "potential" agreements worked out with India, South Korea and Japan.

In his May 5 memorandum intended for senior Pentagon leadership, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled his plan to scale back the number of general and flag officers serving in the military.
Maintaining his focus on the lethality of the U.S. military, Hegseth called it "a critical step" necessary to "optimize and streamline leadership."
WorldNetDaily spoke to Air Force Col. (Ret.) Rob Maness, who didn't mince words: "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth just dropped a bombshell on the Pentagon's bloated bureaucracy." He added, "Hegseth's move to cut the brass and redirect funds to the rank-and-file is a 'less generals, more GIs' strategy I've been screaming about for years."
The former bomber squadron commander who served the U.S. military for more than 30 years told WND, "His plan to slash 20% of four-star generals and 10% of general officers is the kind of gut punch the military needs to get back to its warfighting roots."
For example, Maness points out, "We've got 44 four-star flag officers today, compared to just 17 when we had 12 million troops in World War II." He adds starkly, "That's not leadership, [but] a top-heavy mess sucking up resources that should be arming our grunts and flyboys."
Calling out the Air Force specifically, the former bomber squadron commander suggested, "If the Air Force's generals won't ditch their rainbow agendas, fire them all and start fresh." That is the position he has maintained for months, pointing to a January 2025 X post.
According to Maness, "Too many of these careerist stars have been playing political games, protecting their institution instead of the Constitution." Many went along with "the unlawful COVID 'vaccine' order and hurting their troops, pushing woke nonsense like DEI quotas or climate change programs." Rather, he said, these senior officers should have been focused on what really matters: "killing the enemy and winning wars."
Maness praised Trump's Defense chief for "finally swinging the axe, [saying] it's about damn time." But he warned, "Let's not get carried away popping champagne just yet." The coming reductions, he said, need to be "surgical" and "not a blind hack job."
Hegseth, he said, must "target the dead weight – those Biden-era officers who've turned the Pentagon into a social experiment lab and following unlawful orders – while keeping the battle-hardened leaders who live for the mission."
On May 6, Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. took to X to post his objection to Hegseth's new directive, claiming it could "cripple the military."
For Maness, "Senator Reed's whining about 'crippling' the military isn't entirely baseless, [as] arbitrary cuts without a clear plan could kneecap our readiness." That's why, he said, "Hegseth needs to root out the disloyal, the incompetent and the agenda-driven, replacing them with merit-based warriors who'll put America first."
"If he pulls this off," Maness argued, "we'll have a military that's not just smaller but stronger – focused on crushing threats, not chasing diversity metrics." He trusts that Hegseth is "serious about a leaner, meaner force, but it has to be done right."

Joe Biden's presidential legacy undoubtedly will include his wild and extreme advocacy for abortion for all.
And his insistence on transgenderism, including growth-stunting chemicals and body-mutilating surgeries even for children.
But another component that has appeared is the threat to the safety of American air travelers left behind by his allegiance to the DEI ideology.
That, "diversity, equity and inclusion," belief insists that people must be hired based on their race, sex, sexual orientation, even minority status, rather than their qualifications for the actual job.
In some positions that may not result in much of a threat, but in the position of air traffic controller, those who manage hundreds, even thousands, of aircraft including jetliners carrying hundreds of people each to keep them safe, it's a big deal.
Now Fox News is reporting the chief of the House Aviation Safety Caucus charges Joe Biden helped fuel a current threat in the industry because of his choice "to fund progressive diversity initiatives instead of modernizing the aging system."
Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., explained in the report the Biden administration's key project, an infrastructure bill, was a "missed opportunities" to fund a revamp of the ATC system.
"That was before I came to Congress, but, you know, you had just mistaken priorities in that, all this DEI policy, DEI staffing, that all got baked into the cake," Langworth explained. "They could have taken that money and spent it on real modernization of what is critical infrastructure in this country."
There recently have been several crashes in the airline industry. Dozens of lives have been lost. One happened in Washington where a helicopter was at the wrong altitude and whose pilot on a training outing declined to follow ATC instructions to change course urgently, resulting in a fiery collision with a jetliner approaching a runway.
Just this week there was an outage at Newark Liberty International Airport that apparently blacked out air traffic control screens for a time.
The report said, "Langworthy clarified that he does not believe DEI policies 'necessarily' directly hit ATC. 'It's what they spent the money [on]. I mean, you know, there's infrastructure projects, ones in my backyard, where they want to bury and tunnel over our main artery in the town because it's going to reunite a community somehow,' he said."
Democrats continue to blame the administration of President Donald Trump for the condition of the ATC industry, which was under Biden's control for years, and under Trump's direction for just the last few weeks.
Langworthy continued, "Aviation is infrastructure. It's transportation. It should have been spent then. Instead, they did all this social engineering with money and didn't focus on what has been a glaring problem for the federal government for many years — modernizing our aviation infrastructure."
Langworthy said, "We should be promoting this to young people that want to look at career service in the government. And it comes with a very competitive salary. But it's a tough job with a lot of hours. And you know, there's always gonna be stress involved, but we have to prioritize it and not just take it for granted."
While federal transportation officials under Trump have confirmed plans to hire thousands of additional controllers, aviation expert Darin Gaub, a former Blackhawk helicopter pilot, confirms he knows qualified controllers who were refused jobs under the Biden administration because of the DEI agenda he had.
President Trump is planning to dismantle the Energy Star program that certifies household appliances as energy efficient.
The move is part of a broader shift at the Environmental Protection Agency, which is moving away from climate-related work under director Lee Zeldin.
"With this action, EPA is delivering organizational improvements to the personnel structure that will directly benefit the American people and better advance the agency’s core mission, while Powering the Great American Comeback,” an EPA spokesman said in a statement to The Washington Times.
The Energy Star program is widely recognized for its blue sticker on appliances that meet the government's energy standards.
While Energy Star devices typically have higher upfront costs, advocates say the program has saved Americans billions on energy bills while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Manufacturers have also supported Energy Star, which is a voluntary program, as an alternative to government regulation. A group of trade organizations wrote to Zeldin in March and urged him to keep Energy Star.
"The ENERGY STAR program is an example of an effective non-regulatory program and partnership between the government and the private sector,” they wrote. “Eliminating it will not serve the American people.”
But the Trump administration is targeting all climate-related work at the EPA, which was weaponized by the Biden administration to pursue a sweeping crackdown on household appliances deemed to be inefficient.
Climate change activists have praised Energy Star for nudging consumers to adopt new, energy-efficient technologies such as LED lighting, which has gradually displaced traditional incandescent lighting. Biden formally banned incandescent bulbs, favored by many for their warm glow, in 2023.
In a stark contrast from his predecessor, Trump has prioritized deregulation and consumer choice.
"The Energy Star program and all the other climate work, outside of what’s required by statute, is being de-prioritized and eliminated,” Paul Gunning, the director of the E.P.A. Office of Atmospheric Protection, told employees in a recording that leaked to the New York Times.
President Trump is known for his dislike of appliances that use less power, such as low-flow shower heads. Trump signed an executive order last month to roll back Biden-era regulations on water pressure.
“It’s not just showers — the Biden administration aggressively targeted everyday appliances like gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnaces, dishwashers, and more, waging war on the reliable tools Americans depend on daily,” Trump said in the memorandum.

'You came here today to defeat women in their own sport'
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Wednesday chaired a hearing of the House DOGE subcommittee lambasted the chairman of USA Fencing, Damien Lehfeldt, one of the witnesses who testified.
Lehfeldt was there to justify his organization's inclusion of biological males in female categories of fencing competition. Quoting from a blog post of Lehfeldt's, Greene noted his feelings on his daughter hypothetically competing against a man.
"You came here today to defeat women in their own sport," Greene told Lehfeldt. "You are a man who would tell his daughter to lose to a biological man and enjoy it!"
Greene's hearing was in response to a female fencer who recently refused to compete against a male fencer who "identifies" as a woman.
