Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Jake Tapper that authorities should seize President Trump’s New York assets if he continues to argue that the $454 million judgment against him in the Empire State is unfair and worthy of appeal. She suggests that Trump may try and get his hands on cash through “political corruption,” so seizing his property is safer.
“I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trumpand him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN.
“I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,” she added. “We’ve seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with Truth Social and other means. And there’s a very real risk of political corruption.”
Her appearance comes just days after she claimed in Congress that “RICO” (racketeering and corruption) is not a crime, while RICO is specifically being used to go after President Trump and his supporters in Georgia.

Washington’s Democratic Governor Jay Inslee signed a law forcing the state’s public schools to include ‘LGBTQ history’ in their curriculum. Proposed back in 2023, Senate Bill 5462 was intended to broaden “inclusive learning standards and instructional materials” through a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework.
The legislation mandates that the curriculum incorporate the history and contributions of individuals associated with the LGBTQ movement and those from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. The legislation requires that the updated curriculum be in place by October 1, 2025.
Democratic State Senator Marko Liias, known for his far-left political positions, was one of the bill’s primary sponsors. Last year, Liias supported the controversial Senate Bill 5599, which was criticized for motivating minors to leave their homes to gain access to sex changes and abortions sans parental permission and funded by taxpayers. The debatable bill has been referred to as “state-sanctioned kidnapping.”
Washington’s move to enshrine ‘LGBTQ history’ into its school curriculum comes amidst a nationwide backlash against LGBT indoctrination. It also comes as an increasing number of other states are divesting from DEI programs.

An 82-year-old woman from Port Townsend, Washington, is threatening her local YMCA with a lawsuit after it banned her from confronting a transgender ‘woman’ in the women’s locker room. Julie Jaman says she approached the individual, later identified as ‘Clementine’ Adams, after noticing his attention directed towards young girls. Her ensuing query about Adams’s biological sex resulted in accusations of discrimination.
“I was showering in the women’s dressing room when I saw a man wearing a woman’s swimsuit watching little girls undress. I was obligated to speak up and ask for help,” Jaman said. “Since that moment, I have suffered mob-like attacks, public humiliation, and widespread mendacious reporting,” she continued.
The Center for American Liberty, representing Jaman, has called for an exhaustive investigation. The group’s CEO, Harmeet Dhillon, insists the YMCA and the city are tarnishing Jaman’s reputation through a devious smear campaign, causing significant emotional distress.
Jaman visited the police station to report the incident. Instead, she allegedly became the subject of an investigation based on reports from the YMCA.
The Center for American Liberty emphasizes that the primary concern should be the potential risk to minors. The organization has urged the city and YMCA to rescind Jaman’s ban, apologize, and provide financial compensation or else risk legal action. Dhillon’s letter warns that unwavering stances on transgender ‘rights’ should not overlook probable dangers posed to children in private spaces.
Jaman’s ordeal highlights the increasing concerns about the risks posed to child safety by the transgender movement.

The European Union (EU) has officially initiated negotiations to absorb Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of Europe’s only Muslim-majority states.
“Congratulations! Your place is in our European family. Today’s decision is a key step forward on your EU path,” declared Charles Michel, European Council president, Charles Michel, the President of the European Council.
Bosnia is still suffering the effects of the wars that wracked the Balkans during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the government is at odds with the Serb minority in the separatist-minded Republika Srpska region. It could, therefore, prove to be one of the EU’s most controversial acquisitions, with the bloc still requiring it to meet various demands on corruption and electoral and judicial reform before accession.
EU leaders have also called on Brussels to “swiftly” move ahead with preparing the ground for Moldova and Ukraine, one at war and both home to substantial ethnic Russian populations, to accede.
All such member states would eventually enter into the Free Movement migration regime if admitted to the EU, and gain access to a budget that has become increasingly strained since Brexit.
The European Council has just decided to open accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Congratulations!

The National Review claims that former President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the ABC News network and George Stephanopoulos is a “dud.” Andrew C. McCarthy, a contributing editor to the once venerable conservative publication and former Assistant U.S. Attorney, argues Stephanopoulos’s claims that the former President was ‘found liable for rape’ — while ‘inaccurate’ — are not ‘false.’ The ABC News host made the false assertions during a hostile interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) in early March.
Earlier this week, attorneys for former President Trump filed a lawsuit against ABC News in response to Stephanopoulos’s claims made during the Mace interview. The National Pulse previously reported that the filing alleges Stephanopoulos and ABC knowingly disseminated false information during the show, “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” mischaracterizing court verdicts and thereby damaging Trump’s public standing. Trump’s attorneys contend that while a civil court found the former President liable for “sexual abuse,” he was not found liable for rape.
McCarthy, however, contends that Stephanopoulos’s distinction between sexual abuse and rape doesn’t constitute defamation. “Nevertheless, inaccurate is not the same as false, which I don’t believe the partisan commentator’s statement was,” the former U.S. Attorney writes, adding: “Trump, moreover, did not suffer any material harm.”
The National Review writer continues, stating, “I don’t believe there would be a viable defamation case against Stephanopoulos even if Trump weren’t a public figure.” McCarthy concludes that, in his opinion, the “allegedly defamatory statement is not actionable” and was not made with “actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth.”
McCarthy does, at least, acknowledge that Stephanopoulos is “a partisan hack” who defended former President Bill Clinton against credible sexual assault allegations.

Prince Harry faces scrutiny following more accusations of severe human rights abuses by the African conservation charity where he serves as the director. The allegations involve rangers under the management of African Parks, a charity that oversees parks in 12 African nations and claims to run conservation efforts by collaborating with local communities.
The reported abuses emerge from Zambia’s Bangweulu Wetlands, where African Parks has overseen land management since 2008. The alleged abuses include violent beatings and extra-judicial killings and have cast a shadow on the charity’s operations. These unsettling claims of violence follow previous reports of African Parks armed guards beating, raping, and torturing the Baka tribespeople in the Republic of Congo.
According to the reports, “12 people have been shot dead or beaten to death,” and poaching suspects were “paraded naked in front of their families and neighbors.” African Parks rangers allegedly killed a man who was caught fishing. ‘They just beat him — but not a single ranger has been imprisoned,” a local said.
The people of Bangweulu claim they endure intimidation to deter them from hunting and fishing activities on their own land. The same land is also frequented by tourists on safari ventures that can come at a high price. The most chilling allegation cites a September 2021 incident where a local marketplace was attacked, causing injuries to several villagers, including children.
Despite these grave accusations, the charity maintains it has “zero tolerance” for human rights violations and has engaged a law firm to investigate the allegations. While Prince Harry has voiced concerns about the allegations, there is no suggestion that he had prior knowledge of the incidents in Zambia.

New York Assemblyman Charles Levine (D) is looking to repeal an over-100-year-old New York law that classifies adultery as a misdemeanor. The law, which was enacted in 1907, stipulates that cheating on one’s spouse may result in up to three months imprisonment. Despite the law technically still being on the books, it has rarely been enforced in the Empire State.
“It just makes no sense whatsoever, and we’ve come a long way since intimate relationships between consenting adults are considered immoral,” the Democrat lawmaker said regarding his efforts. He continued: “It’s a joke. This law was someone’s expression of moral outrage.”
“The state has no business regulating consensual sexual behavior between adults,” Levine added.
The legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Levine, A.4714, would repeal the misdemeanor charge for adultery — defined as engaging in sexual intercourse when either of the parties is married to another person. Levine’s legislation cleared the State Assembly’s Codes Committee in March, later being adopted by the full chamber by a 137 to 10 vote. The legislation must pass through New York’s state Senate before heading to Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.
Records indicate at least 12 individuals have been charged under New York’s adultery law since its inception in 1907. Five of those arrested were convicted, each serving a three-month-long prison term. The last known charge was filed in 2010. It was later withdrawn.
Despite a 1960s initiative to repeal the legislation, the law remained intact, mainly due to concerns that its removal might be misconstrued as a state-sanctioned endorsement of infidelity. Several other states have similar laws which classify adultery as a misdemeanor. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Michigan, adultery is legally considered a felony.

Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, says London, governed by Labour’s Sadiq Khan, is currently the world’s most anti-Semitic city.
Chikli believes the tension fostered by pro-Hamas supporters in London, where barely over a third of residents registered in the census are White British, surpasses the tension present in other international cities.
The Israeli highlighted the regular mass rallies in the heart of London since the Israel-Hamas war began following the latter’s terror raid on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the murder of over 1,200 Israelis. Some of these rallies saw demonstrators call openly for jihad — with the city’s infamously woke police force defending them.
Chikli also cited an incident in which the phrase “from the river to the sea” was projected onto the clocktower of the Houses of Parliament — a reference to Islamists’ goal of establishing a Palestinian state ranging from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing Israel altogether.
He characterized this as a “call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the State of Israel.”
An official report from Chikli’s department found “[n]early half of British Jews considered leaving the country due to the documented antisemitism,” and that “60 percent of British Jews experienced or know someone who experienced an antisemitic incident after the war.”
During an interview last month, Mayor Khan, who is Muslim, said his party was “proud to be both anti-racist but also anti-Semitic.” He subsequently attempted to take this statement back, but many observers believed the slip was Freudian.

A study led by the University of Turku, Finland, shows people who subscribe to “woke” ideology and the cause of “social justice” are more likely than conservatives to be anxious, depressed, or both.
Researchers used the Critical Social Justice Attitudes Scale (CSJAS) to evaluate nearly 900 people based on their agreement or disagreement with certain culturally charged statements.
These included, “If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism,” “University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors,” and “trans women who compete with women in sports are not helping women’s rights.”
Higher scores on CSJAS correlated with strong woke beliefs, but it turned out that, overall, a “lower level of mental well-being was mostly associated with being on the political left and not specifically with having a high CSJAS score.”
Women were found to be more susceptible to woke ideology than men. People who identified as “non-binary,” supporters of leftist political parties, and female students studying humanities, education, or social sciences were also found to be disproportionately “woke.”

In June 2020, the government of India — citing national security concerns — swiftly banned 59 Chinese-owned digital apps available online for download on mobile phones. Among the apps banned was TikTok, the popular social media platform owned by the Chinese entertainment and gaming conglomerate ByteDance.
The ban on TikTok ended access for over 200 million Indian users. India was TikTok’s largest national market in the world.
ALTERNATIVES TO TIKTOK.
The Chinese social media app established itself in India in 2017. Much like in the U.S., TikTok quickly became a social and business tool for Indian citizens who could leverage stints of digital fame to earn sometimes lucrative paydays. While many Indian social media stars initially lost their audiences, some quickly uploaded their archived TikTok content and new videos on other burgeoning sites and platforms.
Both Facebook’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube saw an influx of users after the ban. Some of the country’s most popular social media stars were able to recover their status fairly quickly, either through American-based social media platforms or through smaller and more locally targeted Indian-owned apps.
INDIA AND CHINA’S HOSTILE HISTORY.
Unlike the U.S. government, which has engaged in a protracted ‘stop-and-go’ effort to force ByteDance to divest from the U.S. version of TikTok or ban the app outright, India moved quickly to cut off the Chinese app. The two nations have a hostile history and have been entangled in a protracted border dispute since the 1960s.
Tensions between India and China briefly escalated in early May 2020, with troops stationed along the border engaging in several days of brutal hand-to-hand combat. With mounting evidence that the Chinese Communist Party was using TikTok as an espionage tool and the escalated border tensions, the Indian government decided to ban the app.
WHAT THE U.S. CAN LEARN.
The lessons from India could provide crucial insight for U.S. lawmakers as they weigh legislation forcing China’s ByteDance to divest from the app or face its ban. Last week, the House of Representatives passed legislation narrowly targeted — much like the ban in India — which would force divestment or bans on companies controlled by four adversarial nations: Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
Some Americans are, however, voicing concerns the bill’s scope could be broadened as it works its way through the Senate. This could leave the door open to abuse by the Biden government. However, if the Senate can avoid amending the legislation, caving to user threats, and any potential’ poison pill,’ the effort to restrict Chinese influence could spur similar results in the U.S. as in India, with other platforms and smaller start-ups filling the void left by TikTok.
