Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Department of Justice will begin implementing President Trump's March executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.

"The Department of Justice will lead a coordinated effort across federal agencies to minimize non-essential multilingual services, redirect resources toward English-language education and assimilation, and ensure legal compliance with the Executive Order through targeted measures where necessary," said a press release from the Justice Department.

Saying the changes will "promote assimilation over division," Bondi noted, "The Department of Justice will lead the effort to … eliminate wasteful virtue-signaling policies across government agencies."

The specific guidelines were posted on the DOJ website.

U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., explained a practical result of the changes: "You shouldn't have to press 1 for English when calling a federal agency."

Miller wrote on X, "This is America, English should be the default. Learn it!"

The DOJ promised to respect "linguistic diversity" but "prioritize English proficiency to empower new Americans and strengthen civic unity."

The new guidelines effectively mean that wherever possible, federal agencies will be providing services only in English.

Blaze Media reports that the Justice Department is also looking to eliminate initiatives from a Clinton-era executive order which introduced limited English proficiency programs, or LEPs.

The Trump administration said that LEPs often prioritized "multilingualism over English proficiency among new Americans" and "could impede assimilation and strain resources."

Therefore, the government is suspending operations of the LEP.gov website and will stop any letters, videos, or other training materials from being produced. These are likely to be replaced with new ones that reflect Trump's executive order.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is renewing his call for the Department of Justice to investigation Anthony Fauci, who was Joe Biden's key COVID adviser during the China virus pandemic, and has been accused of orchestrating funding for the Wuhan lab from which the deadly threat likely emerged, as well as promoting COVID shots that have proven injurious to many while suppressing other existing treatments.

The Washington Examiner reported Paul sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking for the DOJ's review "for possible criminal prosecution regarding Fauci's congressional testimony in May 2021 about gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

Fauci used to be the chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the White House Coronavirus Task Force when the pandemic erupted, later being a medical adviser to Biden.

"In July 2023, I referred Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice for lying under oath to Congress. His own emails directly contradicted his sworn testimony," Paul explained in a statement. "The New York Times reports Fauci was quietly pardoned by an autopen, operated by Biden's staff. If the President didn't authorize this pardon personally, then the Department has a duty to investigate and prosecute as it would any ordinary citizen. Fauci has been sainted by the extremist Left, but it doesn't erase his lying before Congress."

Fauci was, in fact, granted a preemptive pardon by the Biden White House, but there are open disputes as to whether those were personally authorized by him, or whether his staff and advisers simply used the autopen technology to imprint Biden's signature on pardons they prepared.

"I write to renew my previous requests for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to open an investigation into former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Anthony Fauci's testimony before the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on May 11, 2021," Paul wrote.

"This most recent request stems from new allegations that call into question the validity of Dr. Fauci's purported pardon."

Paul explained, "New information has revealed that these pardons were executed via autopen, with no documented confirmation that the President personally reviewed or approved each individual grant of clemency. According to reports, White House staff authorized the use of the autopen to issue the clemency documents. This raises serious constitutional and legal concerns about the legitimacy of Dr. Fauci's pardon."

It was a report at Real Clear Wire that noted the original complaints about Fauci were that he lied to Congress about the lab, its funding and on other issues.

That report also suggested that despite the "pardon" from the White House, he still could face legal jeopardy.

Former Senate investigator Jason Foster, who now runs the whistleblower nonprofit Empower Oversight, says Congress can, in fact, demand answers, even about whether he lied before.

"They can ask him if he lied before, replough old ground," Foster said. "And if he lies about any prior lie, he can be prosecuted for that or held in contempt."

Andrew Noymer, associate professor of population health and disease prevention at the University of California, Irvine, said such hearings are necessary for scientific and historical reasons. "I'm hopeful that he will now come clean about everything he knows about the origins of the virus. For the sake of public trust in science – explaining what killed 20 million people – that a complete account is much more important than speculation about what criminal penalties he may have avoided."

Another expert, on the Trump transition team, said, "These pardons will not stop Department of Justice investigations. We expected this and look at it as a predicate to get truth from people who can no longer use the Fifth Amendment. Now we can bring every one of them in front of a grand jury."

Fauci, during the pandemic, at one point arrogantly insisted he is "science."

He was known for flip-flopping his positions on COVID during the pandemic.

The report noted, "Fauci's habit of bending the truth, as some see it, was notably on display at a July 2021 Senate hearing when Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican, bore into the funding Fauci approved for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While Fauci attempted to downplay his financial involvement with the Chinese government lab, reports were already percolating. In April 2020, Newsweek reported that Fauci had approved a grant for risky 'gain of function' virus research at the Wuhan lab. The Washington Post editorial board in March 2021 then called for an independent investigation into EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit funded by the Fauci-run National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. With this grant, EcoHealth subcontracted research to the Chinese, the Post noted, to do experiments involving 'modifying viral genomes to give them new properties, including the ability to infect lung cells of laboratory mice that had been genetically modified to respond as human respiratory cells would.'"

EcoHealth Alliance later was barred from getting any federal funds.

Under Joe Biden, America was creating new jobs – and virtually all of them were going to foreign-born workers.

Under President Donald Trump, that's been reversed.

A report in the Washington Stand explains how Trump's mass deportation program, removing illegal aliens, especially illegal alien criminals, from the U.S., is affecting the job market.

"The U.S. Department of Labor announced this month that "native-born workers have accounted for ALL job gains since January," the report said,

John Carney, an economics editor, said recently jobs created under Biden's administration "went to foreign-born workers."

No longer.

"When you are adding up all the people who gained and all the people who lost, the net increase in jobs is going to Americans," he confirmed. "Whereas, during the Biden administration, you had fewer Americans being employed every month and more foreigners being employed. So the net gain was all going to foreign workers, to migrants of some sort or another."

But now, he said, "it's going to Americans. It's going to native-born Americans. That's actually quite interesting, too: it's not just going to people who are legal residents of the United States, it's actually going to … American-born people.

"This is very important, again, because that's fundamentally who the country is supposed to work for, for the people we have here. And it is working for them again, for us again."

He said a ripple effect is that wages are rising, as companies no longer count on just bringing in "more workers in the pipeline."

"Without that, they have to start bidding against each other, basically a competitive bidding war for American workers. And that's what we're seeing in the wage gains."

He said those numbers even are outpacing inflation.

The report also quoted Wendy Edelberg, a senior fellow in economic studies at the leftist Brookings Institution, confirming, "As a result of this immigration policy, we will have negative net migration, which is to say more people leaving the country than entering the country this year for the first time in many decades."

Because of that there will be "stronger wage growth in some occupations, stronger wage growth in the agricultural sector, stronger wage growth for home health workers," she said.

Reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have shown under the Biden administration, nearly 90% of job growth went to immigrants, not to Americans, with an estimated 60% of new jobs going to illegal immigrants, trends that caused damage to the American economy.

A scientist for Johnson & Johnson, one of the corporations that assembled a COVID shot during the China virus pandemic, has confirmed in an undercover video that proper testing wasn't done, the effectiveness was unknown and somebody eventually will get sued over the catastrophe that developed for Americans.

The comments were reported by O'Keefe Media Group, which released undercover video, and a subsequent video in which the scientist, identified as Joshua Rys, a lead regulatory scientist for Johnson & Johnson, tried to avoid questions about his comments.

The OMG report noted the scientist confessed that the J&J COVID shots were "not safe and effective" and there was lack of basic research done.

"People wanted it, we gave it to 'em," he said.

At one point, the explained, there was a move to just "throw the vaccine" to the wind and "see what happens."

In fact, vaccines made by under companies, using the mRNA technology, have been found to give people a higher risk of multiple side effects, including heart failure.

"Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products [vaccines]?" Rys asked.

"I mean we basically just had a race to figure out who could solve it best … At one point, we just canned it," he added.

The Food and Drug Administration in 2022 announced it would limit who can take the J&J shots because of a serious risk of blood clots.

A report from the Gateway Pundit explained two years ago, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., called for Congress to investigate vaccine manufacturers and the COVID vax approval process in response to Project Veritas' explosive undercover video exposing Pfizer's alleged plans to "mutate" the virus.

That video showed Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer director of research and development, admitting the pharma giant is exploring "mutating" COVID-19 via "directed evolution" so the company can continue to profit off of vaccines.

The discovery by FBI Director Kash Patel of a room where the bureau under Joe Biden at "hidden" evidence from sight of both the public and Congress could spur his announced investigation into the weaponization of the government against President Donald Trump.

Trump has been targeted before and during his first term, and then between his terms, by Democrat lawfare that often used the power of the government against him. For example, the SWAT team raid on his Mar-a-Lago home when the actual dispute was over custody of presidential papers – hardly a threat to life and limb.

A report at the Gateway Pundit explained, "According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024. But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks to none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith's own raid on Mar-a-Lago."

Just the News said the investigation is being "cheered by lawmakers" and could be helped by Patel's recent revelation about the discovery "of a room where the bureau had 'hidden' evidence from public and congressional view."

On a podcast with Joe Rogan, Patel called it a "vault" or "lockbox."

"The discovery that the FBI stashed away evidence in politically hot probes like Russiagate could help prosecutors convince a grand jury that government officials were engaged in a coverup or an effort to deprive civil liberties, experts said," according to the report.

"And while the discovery of the evidence vault and the emergence of the conspiracy probe are shrouded in some secrecy, their existence has buoyed Republicans in Congress who long believed prosecution of government actors behind scandals like Russiagate and Biden family corruption was warranted."

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said, "They put America through unbelievable, really historic political turmoil, knowing that the entire narrative was completely false. I felt these people were criminals for many years now. I mean, the fact that they knew this…the whole Russiagate was a conspiracy hatched by the Clinton campaign back in 2016. President Obama was briefed on that. I mean, they all knew."

In fact, Russiagate was created when Hillary Clinton apparently wanted to divert the public's attention away from her own scandal, in which she put government secrets on an unsecured computer server in her home. Her campaign worked with a legal team, an "opposition research" organization, foreigners and more to fabricate claims about Trump's 2016 campaign colluding with Russia, a claim for which there was no evidence.

Just this week, the FBI "quietly launched" a review of a decade of Deep State and Democratic Party activities, the report said, "ranging from ginning up the Trump-Russia collusion to examining special counsel Jack Smith's pursuit of Trump."

The result could end up being presentations to a grand jury about evidence of a criminal conspiracy to influence three straight presidential elections, against Trump.

The "grand conspiracy" case at the FBI, under way for only a few weeks, also could get a shot in the arm if Trump would declassify two "yet-classified troves of evidence that identify key pieces of the alleged conspiracy dating back to the summer of 2016," the report said.

Patel said only weeks ago even then more Russiagate information was being discovered.

He blasted the Democrat agenda under Joe Biden: "That's how vindictive and vicious the former leadership structure was. Not only did they bastardize the FISA process and lie to the American public, they withheld and hid documentation and put it in rooms where people weren't supposed to look. And it's a good thing that we're here now to clean it up, and you're about to see a wave of transparency."

The two troves of details that remain secret include information added to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's probe of Hillary Clinton's improper email server, and another cache attached to Special Counsel John Durham's final report in 2023 about the DOJ's probe of Russiagate.

Further, CIA Director John Ratcliffe already has dispatched a criminal referral to Patel related to possible crimes by Barack Obama's CIA director, Brennan, the report explained.

Among the possible subjects for investigation are Brennan, Comey and Clapper.

Just the News noted, "All of this — combined with the secretive documents recently unearthed at the Hoover Building and brought to the attention of Patel — may provide guideposts for the newly-revealed FBI investigation. It will likely be up to Attorney General Pam Bondi to decide if a criminal prosecution — or a special prosecutor — is warranted."

Patel has confirmed he has found a lot of documentation by those allegedly scheming against Trump at the time.

"These guys were so arrogant, they would write everything down. And I found the documents. They're so arrogant, they think, 'No one's going to catch us. I'm going to write everything down. We're going to put it in a lockbox, we're going to put it in a vault, and no one's going to find it.' Well, you know what? I found the vault and now I'm going to work."

Patel also noted there's no statute of limitations if the investigation is into "an overarching conspiracy."

Trump, on his first day in office, called for an end to the weaponization of government that had developed under Democrats.

"The American people have witnessed the previous administration engage in a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies and the Intelligence Community against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions. These actions appear oriented more toward inflicting political pain than toward pursuing actual justice or legitimate governmental objectives."

Bondi, on taking office, issued a memo calling for a review of weaponization, and an end.

The White House North Lawn is back open after a 30-minute lockdown Tuesday as someone threw an object over the fence, prompting security to order news reporters inside the president's residence for their own protection.

It turns out the object thrown over the fence may have been a cell phone.

White House correspondent Kimberly Halkett cited White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying: "Someone (presumably a tourist) threw their phone over the fence (of the White House)."

The Daily Mail reports: "The Secret Service quickly called a lockdown of the park and White House and closed off Pennsylvania Avenue.

"Agents ushered press standing outside into the briefing room without providing further details at around 11:30 a.m. ET.

"The Secret Service declared an all-clear order roughly 30 minutes later, allowing reporters back onto the North Lawn."

Numerous reporters posted video clips from both outside the White House and inside the James Brady Briefing Room to document the confusion as they were initially left in the dark as to the nature of the situation.

The incident comes just days after the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A Republican member of Congress is urging people to be hanged publicly if they're found to be involved with the crimes of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee was speaking to reporters about the case Tuesday when he was asked, "Should there be an investigation or a special counsel investigation?"

Burchett responded:" I don't know, I'm not an attorney. I just – find 'em guilty and hang 'em publicly. That's not over the top either. I'm ready. I'm over it. It disgusts me."

He added: "I'm big on clarity and transparency and that's a good reason people don't trust government in either party."

The congressman was then asked: "You don't believe what the Justice Department is saying?"

"No, I don't," Burchett replied. "I don't trust 'em."

President Donald Trump revisited the Epstein issue Tuesday, telling reporters just before flying to Pittsburgh that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should release more files if they were "credible."

"It's gonna be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release," Trump said, adding Bondi "has handled it very well."

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is now demanding a special counsel to probe the Epstein case.

"We need a special counsel. That has got to happen," she told journalist Benny Johnson.

"I hope it doesn't become a false idol to Republicans where we just lose sight of everything else, but that doesn't mean we don't want answers."

House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky urged Bondi on Tuesday to begin exposing and arresting individuals connected to the Epstein network and its cover-up.

"Take the ball and run with it," Comer told Johnson. "People want to see accountability.

"There have been a lot of investigations. The Deep State has been exposed thanks to [CIA Director John] Ratcliffe and [FBI Director] Kash Patel. Let's start prosecuting these people. Let's set some examples out of some people."

Also speaking with Johnson, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia debunked a false narrative that House Republicans unanimously voted to block the release of the Epstein files.

"That is not true," she said, explaining it was merely a procedural vote to preclude Democrats from gaining control of the House floor.

"That means they could bring up anything. They could bring up impeachment articles against President Trump. They could bring up a whole package of insane, Democrat-agenda items and force votes on the House floor on these things."

The world needs now "to prepare for the regime [in China] to lash out without warning," according to China expert Gordon Chang in a report at the Gatestone Institute, where he is distinguished senior fellow and a member of the organization's advisory board.

He cited "rumors" that Xi Jinping is losing control and will lose both his Communist Party and Chinese government posts in the next few months – as well as those who say "little or nothing is out of place and Xi is fine."

"Whatever the truth," he said, now is the time when Xi may "have reason to take the world by surprise."

"There are clear signs that Xi has lost control of the People's Liberation Army, the most important faction in the Communist Party of China. A series of articles, beginning on July 9 of last year, in PLA Daily, the military's main propaganda organ, praised 'collective leadership,' a clear criticism of Xi's one-man style of rule. At the same time, many of Xi's loyalists were removed from their posts," Change noted.

"The most prominent of those removed was Xi's No. 1 hatchet man, General He Weidong, last seen in public on March 11. Some believe the general, the No. 2 uniformed officer, was 'suicided' in May in the military's 301 Hospital in Beijing, at about the same time that another Xi supporter, General He Hongjun, was also reportedly killed," he said.

Another indicator is that Xi was absent from the recent BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, a first, sparking speculation he needed to stay in Beijing to maintain control, or even that others in leadership prevented his travel.

Faith-based organizations now are eligible to apply for emergency loans from the Small Business Administration, just like any other group across the nation, the SBA said in an announcement.

"The SBA is committed to ending the era of weaponized government that has systematically discriminated against Americans of faith – even denying them access to vital disaster relief in times of tragedy," SBA chief Kelly Loeffler said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner.

The report said they are eliminating a rule that previously had barred faith-based organizations from that loan program.

At least nine deaths were confirmed late Sunday night in a fire that broke out at an assisted living center in Massachusetts, according to reports from state officials.

Fox News quoted a statement from the state Department of Fire Services that detailed the tragedy that happened at the Gabriel House assisted living center in Fall River.

Firefighters were summoned there about 10 p.m. Sunday and immediately encountered residents hanging out of windows screaming for help.

When firefighters arrived flames and heavy smoke already had engulfed the front of the building.

State Fire Marshal Jon Davine's office confirmed to reporters about 70 people were sleeping at the center when the fire broke out, but a cause had not been revealed.

The Daily Mail said relatives reported receiving frantic phone calls from senior residents at the center, on the Massachusetts side of the border just outside of Providence, Rhode Island.
