Former President Bill Clinton made a poignant appearance in Oklahoma City on Saturday morning, attending a heartfelt ceremony that honored the victims of the tragic Oklahoma City bombing.

During his speech, Clinton powerfully reflected, “I still remember as if it were 30 minutes ago, coming here with Hillary to that memorial service and saying: ‘You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. You have certainly not lost America, and we will be with you for as many tomorrows as it takes.”

He confidently assured the gathered attendees, “I do think we’ve kept that commitment.”

The Oklahoma City bombing, a devastating event, occurred on April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb detonated at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. This heinous act took the lives of 168 people, tragically including 19 innocent children.

While Clinton delivered his stirring remarks, observers noted his hands appeared to shake noticeably.

In the past, Clinton addressed his hand tremors, clarifying that he does not have Parkinson’s. “If I had Parkinson’s, I wanted to know so I could prepare. And I had it tested and the doctor said ‘no.’ He says it’s just a normal aging phenomenon,” Clinton previously explained.

According to CBS:

Thirty years after the deadliest homegrown attack in U.S. history, former President Bill Clinton returned to Oklahoma City on Saturday to remember the people who were killed and comfort those affected by the bombing.

Clinton served as president on that fateful day, April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb obliterated a nine-story federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. During the remembrance ceremony near the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum, he delivered the keynote address with deep sincerity.

At 78, Clinton is still remembered for his compassionate handling of the city’s sorrow following the bombing, which claimed 168 lives, including 19 children. He emphasized that the tragedy is an indelible moment in his presidency.

He reiterated, “I still remember as if it were 30 minutes ago, coming here with Hillary to that memorial service and saying: ‘You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. You have certainly not lost America, and we will be with you for as many tomorrows as it takes.’ I do think we’ve kept that commitment.”

Throughout the years, Clinton has encountered several health challenges. In 2004, he underwent a quadruple bypass heart surgery, and in 2021, he was hospitalized for a sepsis infection.

In a surprising turn of events, NYPD Deputy Chief Frank DiGiacomo has taken legal action against New York City Councilwoman Susan Zhuang following a biting incident during a protest. Despite criminal charges being dropped, DiGiacomo has chosen to pursue justice through the Brooklyn Supreme Court.

The incident took place during a “Residents Against Homeless Shelters” protest in Gravesend. The community rallied against the disruptive noise caused by the construction of a shelter intended for 150 homeless men. Amidst the tensions, Zhuang allegedly bit DiGiacomo as he attempted to arrest another protestor pushing against police barricades. This startling event was caught on camera.

The bite inflicted by Zhuang reportedly broke the skin, leaving cuts and tooth marks on DiGiacomo’s arm. As a precaution, the officer underwent treatment with an “anti-viral cocktail” and received a tetanus shot.

According to The New York Post:

Before the criminal case was dropped, Zhuang, 39, and DiGiacomo met as part of a “restorative justice” program, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.

The face-to-face and ultimate dismissal of the criminal charges was “based on the wishes of the victim and the defendant’s willingness to make amends,” Brooklyn DA spokesman Oren Yaniv said in a statement at the time.

“This case was resolved through a restorative justice process that created space for dialogue, accountability, and healing,” touted the statement.

Despite this attempt at reconciliation, DiGiacomo remains firm in his lawsuit, accusing Zhuang of negligence and claiming the incident left him “permanently injured” and suffering from significant “trauma and distress,” as detailed in court records.

In a dramatic twist on Friday evening, US District Judge William Alsup, handpicked by none other than Bill Clinton, has taken bold action against the Trump Administration. He has prohibited the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from firing more probationary employees, throwing a wrench into President Trump’s strategic downsizing of the federal workforce.

President Trump had previously slashed tens of thousands of probationary positions as part of his campaign to streamline government operations and eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy.

Last month, Judge Alsup ordered the Trump Administration to reinstate thousands of fired probationary employees from six key federal agencies:

• Veterans Affairs (VA)
• Department of Defense (DOD)
• Department of Energy
• Department of the Interior
• Department of the Treasury
• Department of Agriculture

However, just last Tuesday, the US Supreme Court intervened, temporarily blocking Alsup’s ruling and siding with the Trump Administration—a clear victory for those advocating for a more efficient government.

Undeterred, Judge Alsup criticized the “boiler template” used by the Trump Administration for terminating federal workers, labeling it a “sham,” and further restricted the OPM from continuing mass terminations. Notably, individual agencies still retain the power to dismiss employees based on their performance.

Meanwhile, in a related case, a federal appeals court has paved the way for President Trump to continue his mission of trimming the federal workforce. On Wednesday, the court cleared the path for dismissing thousands of probationary workers across 18 federal agencies.

Previously, US District Judge James Bredar, appointed by Obama, had mandated the Trump Administration to rehire around 20,000 probationary employees. Judge Bredar argued that the federal government must adhere to specific rules when conducting mass layoffs, even for those on probationary status.

The judge emphasized, “When the federal government terminates large numbers of its employees, including those still on probation because they were recently hired or promoted, it must follow certain rules. Some of those rules are intended to help states manage the consequences of sudden, mass layoffs.”

Judge Bredar extended his injunction, but its reach is limited to Washington D.C. and the 19 states involved in the lawsuit, stopping short of a nationwide ban.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in Virginia, upheld the Trump Administration’s motion for a stay on the preliminary injunction while the appeal is pending. The panel, composed of Judges Allison Rushing (Trump appointee), Harvie Wilkinson (Reagan appointee), and DeAndrea Benjamin (Biden appointee), showcased a mix of judicial perspectives.

They referenced the Supreme Court’s recent decision, asserting, “The Supreme Court has stayed a similar preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.”

In a surprising twist reflecting the winds of change, a recent survey reveals that Gen Z voters under 21 are leaning Republican by an impressive 11.7 points. This shift is notable, considering younger Americans have traditionally swung left.

The Yale Youth Poll provides insight into this development, indicating that voters aged 22 to 29 favor Democrats by a margin of 6.4 points.

“When asked whether they would vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in the 2026 congressional elections in their district, voters aged 22–29 favored the Democratic candidate by a margin of 6.4 points, but voters aged 18–21 favored the Republican by a margin of 11.7 points.”

While these young voters appear to be siding with the GOP, it doesn’t necessarily mean they align with Republican stances across the board.

The pollsters elaborate:

The survey included a range of questions on subjects from higher education to immigration to what the federal budget is spent on. The poll also implemented two A/B tests to gauge the effect of framing progressive policies as “human rights” and whether providing voters with basic information about government finances changes their views on the federal deficit, tax rates, and spending levels. The first message test found that arguing for progressive policies on homelessness on the grounds of “human rights” reduced support for the progressive position by 22 points.

The starkest generational divides emerged around immigration and protest rights. Nationwide, voters opposed allowing asylum seekers entering illegally to stay by a 2-point margin, yet young voters favored allowing them to remain by a 25-point margin. Regarding whether international students should face deportation for protesting the war in Gaza, general opinion opposed deportation by 36 points, but young voters rejected it by a whopping 65 points.

On the contentious issue of gender transition treatments for teens aged 13 to 17, those under 30 were almost evenly split, opposing it by just 0.1 points, contrasting with a broader opposition of 24 points. When it comes to campus speech, young voters supported institutions making political or social statements by 6 points, whereas the wider population opposed such statements by 13 points.

Trust in institutions and views on democratic reform among young voters also veer from older generations. They tend to believe the Supreme Court rules based on ideology or partisanship rather than sheer legal reasoning, while the general public sees the Court as basing its decisions on legal merits.

These varied positions, showing a blend of left-leaning and right-leaning tendencies, underscore a growing unpredictability in young Americans’ political alliances — perhaps a manifestation of eroding confidence in the Democratic Party.

The Yale Youth Poll conducted this survey with 4,100 registered voters from April 1 to April 3, featuring an oversample of 2,024 young voters aged 18 to 29. The results have a margin of error of +/- 1.9 percentage points for the overall sample and +/- 1.8 percentage points for young voters.

Patriots, stand by for some news that exemplifies dedication and courage. After a decade and a half away, Sgt. Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient for his valiant actions in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province back in 2009, has re-enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve. This monumental event was made even more significant when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth personally administered Meyer’s oath of enlistment.

In a conversation with Fox News, Meyer, now 36, shared his renewed commitment and the passion driving his decision. “There’s never been a better time to serve our country than right now,” he emphasized. His words are a rallying call for patriots everywhere, highlighting the importance of standing firm in defense of our Constitution and values.

Meyer’s Message:

• “There’s never been a need, like we need right now, of good men and women who are willing to stand up and who are willing to defend the beliefs of the American people, of the Constitution, and to protect all of those things against whatever enemy that is willing to try to step up and to try and threaten that.”

In his remarks before the ceremony, Hegseth didn’t hold back his admiration for Meyer. Though Meyer didn’t seek the limelight, Hegseth wanted his example to shine brightly. “We’re doing this as big as we can because I want the American people, I want your fellow Marines, and I want other service members to look at your example.”

Hegseth also emphasized the rarity and value of prior-service Marines returning to duty: “It’s not common practice that things like this occur, but you showed uncommon valor and continue to show uncommon commitment.” The Defense Department is thankful for Meyer’s unwavering spirit and dedication.

Meyer, reflecting on his journey, mentioned that not a day has passed since 2010 without him contemplating his return to service. Passing rigorous physical and combat fitness tests, he’s back in uniform with a mission to inspire and protect. “I love this country with every fiber of my moral being — I always have,” Meyer expressed before the ceremony.

In a dramatic twist within the halls of the Pentagon, three aides to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been officially dismissed following a probe into unauthorized leaks. On Friday, news broke concerning the departure of Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, amidst Pentagon turmoil linked to these leaks.

Earlier this week, Dan Caldwell, an advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was placed on leave due to his involvement in leaks. Notably part of the Mike Waltz Houthi Signal chat group, Caldwell was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday for what was termed an “unauthorized disclosure,” as reported by Reuters.

Deputy Chief of Staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg, were also placed on leave and removed from their positions. According to Politico, all three aides—Caldwell, Selnick, and Carroll—were officially terminated on Friday. In the aftermath, Carroll and Selnick intend to pursue legal action for wrongful termination, as reported by the magazine.

Fox News indicated that Joe Kasper allegedly held a “deep vendetta” against the trio. Kasper was pivotal in leading the investigation into these leaks reaching the media.

“This is not about interpersonal conflict,” a Pentagon official told Fox News. “There is evidence of leaking. This is about unauthorized disclosures, up to and including classified information.”

Politico reported:

Joe Kasper, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff, will leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official, amid a week of turmoil for the Pentagon.

Senior adviser Dan Caldwell, Hegseth deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, were placed on leave this week in an ongoing leak probe. All three were terminated on Friday, according to three people familiar with the matter, who, like others, were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

This recent series of events contributes to the ongoing upheaval within the Pentagon, which has been under scrutiny for various issues, including fallout from Hegseth’s own release of sensitive information in a Signal chat and a controversial department visit by Elon Musk.

All parties involved—Caldwell, Carroll, Selnick, and Kasper—have refrained from commenting on the situation. Carroll and Selnick have, however, declared their intent to challenge their dismissals legally. The Pentagon has not provided any comment in response to these developments.

The controversial drag group, known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, has sparked outrage with their plans to host a trans-themed event on Easter Sunday at a public park. This event, which is targeting families and children, includes a provocative “Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary” drag contest.

Under the theme “No Easter without T,” the event’s promotional flyer depicts a tattooed “Jesus” among men in drag, signaling the group’s intention to blend Easter traditions with controversial performances.

In a post on Instagram, the group announced, “We invite the community to celebrate our 46th Anniversary at Easter in the Park. In recognition of our trans brothers and sisters who are under siege.”

The festivities begin at 10:30 am on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, in Dolores Park with Children’s Easter, featuring an egg hunt and (of course) the Easter Bunny. The stage show begins at noon with special guests, Sister rituals, live music, performances by some of the city’s best drag and trans talent, and the legendary Easter Bonnet, Foxy Mary, and Hunky Jesus contests.

The Easter Bunny will greet families at the Children’s Easter event located on the east side of the park’s north field, near the corner of 18th and Dolores. Planned activities include an Easter egg hunt, bunny run relay games, story time, and a performance by Cheer SF, all starting at 10:30 AM.

The main stage activities kick-off at noon, featuring emcees Honey Mahogany, Alex U. Inn, and Sister Roma. The live performances will showcase transgender and gender-nonconforming artists, such as trans opera star Breanna Elyse Sinclair, Ronnie Reddick’s “I’m Every Woman” featuring The Ladies of AsiaSF 2.0, The Momma’s Boyz Hip Hop legends with Ariel B. and Lambert, and local favorite Pansy Division.

The group’s social media post highlights past Easter drag contest winners like “Historically Accurate Jesus,” “Transgender Maria de Guadalupe,” “Pro-Choice Mary,” and “Black Woman as God.”

In 2023, the group received controversial recognition from Major League Baseball and the LA Dodgers.

The outrage continues across social platforms, with many expressing disapproval of the event.

Absolutely sickening. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an “order of queer and trans nuns,” are hosting a trans Easter event at a public park this weekend which includes a “Hunky Jesus & Foxy Mary” drag contest and events for kids. This blasphemy cannot stand.

A Brooklyn resident, Natasha Cohen, is under fire after allegedly leaving a brick marked with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a Tesla parked in a predominantly Jewish area. In addition to the offensive graffiti, she reportedly placed a bag of trash on the vehicle.

The New York Post reveals that Cohen, identified as a “super-woke family therapist,” participates in criminal justice diversion programs. Authorities apprehended her on hate-crime charges, following surveillance footage that caught her in action. She was subsequently released on her own recognizance.

Cohen attributed her actions to fear of Elon Musk, claiming she “lives in terror” on a daily basis.

Cohen, 46, has a private practice, working with children, adolescents, and their families for more than two decades.

In a statement to the police after her April 12 arrest, Cohen expressed, “Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi,” according to a copy of the criminal complaint obtained by The Post.

She further elaborated, “I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany. I’m truly terrified because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”

In a bold move, President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled a dedicated whistleblower tip line. This initiative aims to empower citizens to report any instances of chemical and surgical sex change procedures performed on minors. This step is in alignment with Trump’s decisive executive order, “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.”

This new channel invites anyone aware of practices involving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex change surgeries administered to children to come forward. “HHS is committed to protecting whistleblowers to the full extent of the law,” states the department’s detailed explainer about the tip line.

In addition to launching the tip line, the department has also announced a significant investigation into a major pediatric teaching hospital. This comes after allegations surfaced about the wrongful termination of a whistleblower nurse, who was exercising her federally protected rights of conscience.

The investigation is set to determine if the hospital in question breached federal law, specifically the Church Amendments, by dismissing a nurse who sought a religious accommodation. This nurse opposed administering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children due to her religious beliefs about the sterilization impacts of these interventions. While HHS has not disclosed the hospital’s name, many believe the nurse to be Vanessa Sivadge.

Sivadge, who previously worked at Texas Children’s Hospital, recently testified before Congress regarding her termination. Acting HHS OCR Director Anthony Archeval has emphasized the department’s commitment to enforcing federal laws that protect whistleblowers. “The Department will robustly enforce Federal laws protecting these courageous whistleblowers, including laws that protect health care professionals from being forced to violate their religious beliefs or moral convictions,” Archeval asserted.
