He's got enough problems with his wife
[NYPost] Trump rules out deporting Prince Harry: ‘He’s got enough problems with his wife’

Prince Harry can breathe freely in Montecito, because President Donald Trump has ruled out deporting the self-exiled British royal.

Harry’s immigration status is the subject of litigation in Washington DC, with the Heritage Foundation alleging that he may have concealed past illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa.

But the president told The New York Post Friday that he isn’t interested in throwing Harry out of the country.

“I don’t want to do that,” he said. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Well, he's not wrong

Largest shark ever tagged by research group swimming off the Florida coast
[FoxNews] Members of OCEARCH recently tagged a massive 13.8-foot white shark off the Georgia-Florida coast. The white shark weighs 1,652.8 pounds and was last reported to be swimming in the Gulf Stream, east of Florida.
Largest of its species generally means oldest for sharks, if I understand correctly. Those conservation efforts are paying off.
Researchers are tracking what is believed to be the largest shark ever tagged by OCEARCH in the southwest Atlantic, with its last pings off Florida’s east coast.

The white shark, named Contender, was originally tagged on Jan. 17, 2025, approximately 45 miles off the coast of the Florida-Georgia border and has generally traveled southward along the Gulf Stream.

According to biologists, the shark is nearly 14-feet long and weighed an impressive 1,652.8 pounds when it was found by researchers.

The shark’s tag will transmit real-time data to researchers, providing insights into his movements and behavior over the next several years.

"Contender’s name is in honor of Contender Boats, a longtime OCEARCH partner, whose industry-leading sport fishing and pleasure boats enable our research missions. Their commitment to performance and innovation is essential to our ability to explore and protect our oceans," the group stated.

There is no need for beachgoers to cancel their vacations to the Sunshine State as the white shark has generally stayed more than 40 miles off the coast.

According to biologists, sharks often migrate to the waters off of Florida and the Southeast during the fall and winter in search of prey.

During the spring and summer, the marine animals tend to travel further offshore and head northward towards the Northeast U.S. and Canada to feed on seals.

According to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the population of white sharks around the world is thought to exceed 3,000 and is presently not considered to be endangered; however, climate change and entanglements have impacted the population.

OCEARCH said the tag on Contender needs to be exposed to the air for around 90 seconds, to triangulate the shark’s location accurately.

The battery is said to last around five years, but its lifespan is entirely dependent on how many times the shark surfaces.

As of late 2024, marine biologists had tagged nearly 400 sharks with most being either great white or tiger sharks.

Alabama convict criticizes Democrat politician in last words before being executed for killing woman
[FoxNews] A man convicted of raping and murdering an Alabama woman seemed to criticize Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in his final words before being put to death by nitrogen gas, reports say.

Demetrius Frazier, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:36 p.m. Thursday at a south Alabama prison following the 1991 attack on 41-year-old Pauline Brown. Frazier previously was serving a life sentence in Michigan for the 1992 murder of 14-year-old Crystal Kendrick, but in 2011, the then-governors of the two states agreed to move him to Alabama’s death row.

"If you cannot stand up for the constitution of Michigan, how are you going to stand up for the U.S. Constitution when you run for president?" Frazier said Thursday in an apparent address to Whitmer, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.

"Detroit strong. I love everyone on death row. Let's go," he reportedly added.

30 plus years on death rows,before this POS was eliminated.

Serious!!
Something needs to be done to speed up the application of these death sentences. So the victims family can see justice done before they die of old age.

5 years should be more than enough time to go thru all the legal system appeals steps, needed to ensure any death sentence conviction is valid and is justice done.

Caribbean-Latin America
Inside the prison of the living dead: DAVID JONES is the first British journalist to visit El Salvador's godforsaken 40,000 capacity mega prison
We’ve had reports about this prison before, but it’s good to be reminded, if we’re going to send illegal alien criminals to them.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Sunk deep into shaven and elaborately tattooed skulls, a hundred pairs of eyes – hollow and dark –are boring directly into mine. The men they belong to have committed crimes evil almost beyond comprehension.

Members of two of the most savage rival gangs the world has seen, El Salvador’s Ms-13 and Barrio 18, they raped and tortured, murdered and mutilated, cut bodies to pieces and strewed them around the streets to strike terror in the neighbourhoods they controlled.

On my journey to the world-renowned prison that holds them, the Latin American country’s new Terrorism Confinement Centre (CECOT), my government escorts had shown me photographic evidence of their grisly handiwork.

Everyone has their own vision of hell. For George Orwell, in his dystopian classic 1984, it was a boot forever stamping on a human face. However, I can imagine no greater torment than being consigned to CECOT, with no hope of ever being released, like the inmates here whose sentences range from 60 to more than 1,000 years.

Death would be infinitely more merciful. A thought that might concentrate the minds of the violent US criminals and lawless migrants Donald Trump aims to banish here, under the terms of an unprecedented deal agreed with El Salvador’s president this week. I will come back to that.

One of the world’s biggest prisons, with a 40,000 capacity (equivalent to almost half the UK’s current prison population), CECOT was built two years ago amid a huge crackdown on the gangs destroying the fabric of Salvadoran society.

Its director Belarmino Garcia declined to tell me how many prisoners are currently held there, but there are many thousands of the worst of the worst gangsters.

Kenyan police reinforce Haiti mission amid U.S. funding freeze
It’s one way to earn a little pocket money and help the Kenyan motherland at the same time. Haiti will continue to suffer, but somehow that can’t be helped.
[AFRICANEWS] A fourth group of Kenyan police arrived in Haiti on Thursday to help combat violent mostly peaceful gangs, despite a partial U.S. funding freeze for the U.N.-backed mission.

The 200 officers join over 600 Kenyans already working alongside Haitian police, as part of a multinational effort including Jamaica, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

This comes after the U.S. froze $13.3 million in aid, part of a broader foreign assistance freeze by President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
mission commander Godfrey Otunge downplayed concerns, saying the cut represents less than 3% of total funding, with ongoing support from the U.S. and other partners.

The U.S. State Department confirmed that $40.7 million in aid was approved, including armored vehicles and logistical support. During a visit to the Dominican Republic, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
reaffirmed Washington's commitment, urging an expansion of the mission to tackle Haiti's worsening security crisis.

Gangs control 85% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and the mission faces funding and personnel shortages as violence escalates.

China-Japan-Koreas
Nuclear arms not ''bargaining chip'' to be exchanged for some money: N Korea
[GEO.TV] North Korea
...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
stated on Saturday that its nuclear weapons are not for negotiation purposes but are designed for combat use against enemies posing a threat to its people and global peace, according to a report by its state media.

The statement comes after US President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the White House on Friday. The two leaders expressed their commitment to ensuring North Korea ends its nuclear weapons programme.

KCNA did not mention the meeting between the US and Japanese leaders but instead cited reported comments by officials of NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
and the EU that reiterated demands for a complete denuclearisation of North Korea.

"We say this clearly again: our nuclear weapons are not an advertisement to get anyone's recognition and even less a bargaining chip to be exchanged for some money," KCNA said in a statement.

"Our nuclear forces are for unwavering combat use to swiftly eliminate any attempts by enemy forces that infringe on our country's illusory sovereignty and the safety of our people and threaten world peace," it said.

North Korea has not responded directly to overtures from Trump to resume contact with its leader Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
and instead stressed its intention to "bolster" its nuclear forces.

Trump Announces Task Force to Root Out 'Anti-Christian Bias'
It’s not just about the Jews. It was never just about the Jews,.
[PJMedia] Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
is forming a task force, headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, to "immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
, the FBI — terrible — and other agencies."

Trump also said that Bondi will "fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide."

This is welcome news for the 224 million Christians in the United States. Prosecuting anti-Christian violence is a necessary good.

In the current context, Trump appears to be referring to the prosecution of people who protest in front of child sacrifice abortion clinics. Trump pardoned 23 protesters within a few hours of his inauguration, but the president will set up another commission on religious liberty, criticizing the Biden administration for prosecuting anti-child sacrifice abortion advocates.

The laws governing demonstrations in front of child sacrifice abortion clinics are bad laws, and the addition of making anti-child sacrifice abortion protesters eligible to be charged under racketeering statutes is absurd. But they are the law of the land until the Supreme Court says otherwise or they are repealed.

The Biden administration could have used the powers of discretionary prosecution, especially in cases where there was no violence at the clinics. Instead, federal prosecutors went after protesters with everything they had, with judges sentencing protesters to up to three years for blocking the entrance to an child sacrifice abortion clinic.

Grandmothers and other peaceful activists ran afoul of the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances). Efforts are underway to repeal this 1994 law, and given the GOP majority and what happened with peaceful protesters during the Biden administration, it has a chance of passing.

The usual suspects objected to the formation of a commission.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State President and CEO Rachel Laser said, "Rather than protecting religious beliefs, this task force will misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry, discrimination, and the subversion of our civil rights laws."

If she's that good at predicting stuff, maybe she could throw a few stock tips my way.

Lest we forget, Trump had a real "Road to Damascus" moment during the campaign.

News Agency that Dare Not be Named:

Trump, at both venues, reflected on having a bullet coming within a hair’s breadth of killing him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, telling politicians and attendees, "It changed something in me, I feel."

"I feel even stronger," he continued. "I believed in God, but I feel, I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened." Speaking later at a separate prayer breakfast sponsored by a private group at a hotel, he remarked, "it was God that saved me.’

He drew laughs at the Capitol event when he expressed gratitude that the episode "didn’t affect my hair."

The Republican president, who’s a nondenominational Christian, called religious liberty "part of the bedrock of American life" and called for protecting it with "absolute devotion."

"While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals, and in our public squares," he said. "And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God."

The president also said he would create a White House Faith Office led by the Rev. Paula White, Trump's religious advisor for several years.

For people of faith, the commission and the task force signify that the times have definitely changed.
