For 125 years, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne have provided free care to patients with terminal cancer in upstate New York. But now, thanks to a new law which enjoyed a shameful amount of bipartisan support, the sisters could be facing jail time for refusing to “affirm” patients who believe they are transgender – despite the fact that doing so would violate core Catholic teachings.
The assault on the sisters’ First Amendment rights began back in 2023 when Empire State Democrats introduced something called the “Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights for LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and People Living with HIV.” Governor Kathy Hochul signed the bill into law, and it went into effect in May 2024.
Although Democrat legislators spearheaded the bill, New York Republicans barely raised any opposition to it, and dozens of GOP members appallingly voted for it. The final tally was 144-2 in favor in the Assembly and 55-7 in favor in the Senate. It received hardly any media coverage at the time.
Supporters of the law claim that it prohibits “discrimination” against individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ in nursing homes and adult care facilities. In reality, it criminalizes dissent against transgender ideology, trampling the religious liberty and free speech rights of Christians and other religious New Yorkers

78 Days of BombingIn 1999, Bill Clinton bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days without UN authorization, without a Congressional vote, and without a single US combat death. NATO flew 38,000 sorties and dropped 23,000 bombs. They killed 500+ Yugoslav civilians, “accidentally” hit the Chinese embassy, and bombed a refugee column of the very people they were trying to save. Cost: ~$5 billion. Russia later cited Kosovo when it annexed Crimea. Every precedent has consequences.
The Navy sent two guided missile destroyers through the Strait of Hormuz as the first step in its plan to reopen the critical waterway to commercial ship traffic.
On Saturday, U.S. Central Command officials said the USS Frank E. Peterson and the USS Michael Murphy successfully transited the 24-mile-wide chokepoint that connects the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The operation was part of a “broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” Central Command said in a statemen

Obama’s Tower Of Doom Is Harder To Get Into Than America Itself
By Tyler Durden April 5, 2026Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
In yet another jaw-dropping display of elite hypocrisy, Barack Obama’s Chicago Presidential Center – long derided as the “Tower of Doom” – now requires proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency just to enter a ticket giveaway for its grand opening ceremony on June 18, 2026.
While Democrats in Washington relentlessly push policies that treat America’s borders like an open invitation, the Obama Foundation has quietly imposed strict eligibility rules for its own high-profile event.
The sweepstakes for two free tickets, complete with a potential $1,500 travel stipend for winners living 100 miles or more away, is explicitly limited to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who are legal residents of the 50 states, D.C., or Puerto Rico and at least 18 years old.
HYPOCRITE: The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago — opening this June — is restricting entry to its grand opening ticket giveaway to only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Kayleigh McEnany cut straight to the point: “Why do we have stricter standards for the Obama library than for voting?”
The White House has released its latest renderings of a 250-foot triumphal arch that will dwarf the Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac, with a figure resembling the Statue of Liberty and gilded lions and eagles.
The renderings were submitted Friday to the Commission of Fine Arts, a federal design panel that will consider the designs at its meeting next week.
President Trump proposed the structure, which would sit on the Memorial Circle roundabout at the southwestern end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge by the Potomac River, near the Arlington National Cemetery. It would become the tallest triumphal arch in the world, to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial and further cement Mr. Trump’s mark on Washington.
The proposed design is more than twice as high as the 99-foot-tall Lincoln Memorial, 30 feet taller than the Monumento a la Revolucion in Mexico City and more than 80 feet taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which it resembles.
The arch’s designs include inscriptions reading “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice For All,” as well as two eagles by the side of a gold and winged Lady Liberty. The base is guarded by four gilded lions. Renderings were credited to Harrison Design, an architecture firm in Washington.
The president has touted the grandiose and symbolic nature of the arch, stating that the building is for “me.” He says major cities around the world have such monuments — minus Washington.
Construction will be partially funded by American taxpayers, according to the spending plan for the National Endowment for the Humanities released earlier this week, which includes $2 million for the arch itself, plus $13 million in matching grants “reserved for the arch.”
Mr. Trump has initiated numerous plans to stamp his vision across the capital, including remodeling the White House and a proposed National Garden of American Heroes with 250 statues.
Last October, he showcased models of the arch at a White House fund-raising dinner for his $400 million White House ballroom. The project involved the demolition of the White House’s East Wing last fall to make way for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom.

The Supreme Court on Thursday shut down an attempt by Samuel Ronan, a longtime liberal Democrat, to force his way onto the Republican primary ballot for a congressional seat from Ohio.
The justices, in a brief order, refused Mr. Ronan’s request that state election officials be ordered to add his name.
Mr. Ronan had rushed to the high court with an emergency petition earlier this week, accusing Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose of foiling democracy by keeping him off the ballot.
Mr. Ronan said that despite his 2017 run for chair of the Democratic National Committee and past association with far-left causes, he was being honest and sincere in now saying he ascribes to Republican principles.
“Ronan’s campaign is a good-faith attempt to win over Republican voters by advocating his values — values he believes Democrats have forsaken,” his lawyers told the justices in the request to get him back on the ballot.
But Mr. LaRose, who made the final decision to boot him off the ballot, said it was clear Mr. Ronan was trying to punk the primary process.
“Mr. Ronan’s public statements, and those of individuals associated with him and his candidacy, make clear that Mr. Ronan is seeking the Republican nomination as part of his longstanding strategy to have Democrats run as Republicans in Republican primaries,” Mr. LaRose concluded.
Mr. Ronan, for example, posted to social media calling on “leftists” to “infiltrate” Republican primaries.
A state voter had filed a protest challenging his appearance on the primary ballot.
The case pitted Mr. Ronan’s claims of First Amendment rights against the state’s law that gives parties wide leeway in picking who runs under their banner. In this instance, that included swearing to the GOP’s pledge, required of candidates, that they are members of the party and abide by the party’s principles.
Lower courts had rejected Mr. Ronan’s demand to appear on the GOP ballot, saying his conversion from Democrat to Republican did not appear to be “in good faith.”
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court said the state was on solid legal ground removing Mr. Ronan not because he wasn’t Republican enough, but because his own speech undercut his sworn statement of fealty to the GOP.
…
The payoff was extraordinary. The share of fourth graders reading at or above the “proficient” level nearly doubled from 17 percent in 1998 to 32 percent in 2024. The share scoring at or above the “basic” level rose from 47 percent to 65 percent.
Those are not marginal gains. They are proof that reform rooted in common sense and accountability can succeed even with limited funds.
Mississippi’s conservative leaders did not guess their way into this success. They drew on research from the Institute of Education Sciences showing that children need explicit, carefully sequenced phonics instruction, where students are taught to identify letters and their pronunciation to construct words and sentences.
