ICE asked Long Island law enforcement to detain a Venezuelan national charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to slash his billiards partner’s throat at Gilgo Beach February 28. The Suffolk County DA alleged Ruben Guanipa Ramirez picked up the victim from his home, went to a pool hall, and eventually brought him to one of the most iconic murder sites in the state. At Gilgo Beach, Guanipa Ramirez allegedly came up behind the victim, covered his mouth with a cloth, stabbed him and tried to slit his throat. Ramirez was arrested later that same day in Nassau County. Investigators say his vehicle contained three kitchen knives, one which appeared covered in blood, rope, duct tape, blankets, plastic drop cloths, a large-wheeled bag, gloves and a boxcutter. The suspect entered the U.S. in June 2019 on a B-2 tourist visa which required him to depart the U.S. by December 2019. Now, he faces attempted murder and assault charges in connection with the alleged incident. Regardless of the result of the criminal case, he is not authorized to be in the United States.

Vice President JD Vance gives an update in Pakistan: "The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."

Welcome home Artemis, so many incredible moments for science and exploration, but it was truly a showcase of the best in all of us.
Yesterday, the crew of Artemis II splashed down off the coast of California, capping off a historic 10-day journey to the Moon and back. This mission did something remarkable: It captured the world’s attention, brought us together, and reminded us why science matters. We needed that. Millions of people stopped what they were doing to watch. Families gathered around TVs. Kids looked up at the sky and wondered. For a moment, in a time when we don’t always agree on much, we were all pulling in the same direction. We were all pulling for Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, who did their jobs with a smile and a calm that almost made you forget they were farther away from Earth than any humans had ever gone before. They’ve become heroes to an entire generation of kids who are thinking about becoming scientists, engineers, and astronauts because of them. I remember growing up during the Apollo missions and thinking I’d be the first person to walk on Mars. I didn’t quite get there, but I think one of those kids dreaming today will. As Americans, this mission reminded us who we are. We’re a country that takes on tough challenges and solves hard problems. And when we do it right, we inspire and bring people together in the process. Artemis II did that better than anything we’ve seen in decades, and it reaffirmed that the United States (with the help of our partners at the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency, of course) is still the world leader in space exploration. It builds on a history that began with Gemini and Apollo, carried on through the space shuttle era, and continues today with the International Space Station — and now in a new era of Moon missions with Artemis. I’m fortunate to have been able to play a part in that legacy. I got to see Earth from orbit four times over the course of my career at NASA. It’s been 15 years since my last trip to space, but I’ll never forget the perspective it brings. When you look down from space, you don’t see red states or blue states. You don’t see borders or countries. You just see one planet — and a whole lot of people who have more in common than they don’t. My final mission was in 2011. The world wasn’t perfect then either. When we landed Space Shuttle Endeavour for the last time down in Cape Canaveral, my wife, Gabby Giffords, was still in the hospital recovering from an assassination attempt 5 months earlier. Our country was still divided then, but it was before the politics of division had become our expectation like it is today. The past 10 days felt different. It brought our country together, and my hope is that it’s more than just temporary. Artemis II didn’t solve all of our problems or turn back the clock, but it did something important: It reminded us that we’re still capable of doing big things together. This whole week had me thinking about Apollo 8. After the mission Frank Borman recalled receiving a telegram that said “Congratulations to the crew of Apollo 8. You saved 1968.” I think a lot of us feel the same way right now. Artemis II may just have saved 2026 or a little part of it, and it reminded us of what we can do together as Americans.
Gotham has fallen. A machete wielding slasher with 13 prior arrests who calls himself ‘Lucifer’ on a bloody rampage in Grand Central Station “An 85-year-old man suffered a deep cut across his head, and a 65-year-old man suffered cuts on his head on the 4, 5, 6 subway platform at the iconic station at 9:50 a.m., police said. A 70-year-old woman was slashed in the shoulder.”
Guy just took a machete to the heads and bodies of random subway riders at Grand Central Station before NYPD officers finally shot him. According to the @nypost, “He has 13 prior arrests, including one for menacing with a sharp object...”

Trump has pardoned political donors, corrupt politicians, & January 6 insurrectionists. Now he wants to abuse his presidential pardon powers to protect administration officials who are acting recklessly and without regard to the law. Americans are sick of his corruption.

Uh, NO, the Alamo was not Islamic….
Radical activists claimed the Alamo is an Islamic building. Now they’re lobbying Texas to insert fake Islamic history into our kids’ classrooms. I just sent a letter demanding the SBOE reject this revisionist garbage. Texas history is not up for rewriting.
Democrat candidate with a Nazi SS tattoo explains why he got that tattoo—essentially, that the US military are ALL “narrow”minded, “hyper-violent” Nazis. This is FALSE, and slanderous to our servicemen & women.
In response to controversy surrounding a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and comments he made previously on Reddit, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner says "much of it was because of the culture I had come out of." "When I left the military, I came out of a hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place," he says. "I did four tours in the infantry. We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics, and that colored my opinions and my beliefs."
President Trump’s pro-growth policies are giving businesses like Hadrian the incentive to build new facilities all across America. And when they do, it means big investment in small business suppliers and LOTS of jobs for local communities.
