• Four-time deportee murders NYC veteran: Richard Williams, an 83-year-old USAF veteran, was recently murdered by Bairon Hernandez, an illegal alien and serial criminal who was deported from the U.S. four times between 2008 and 2020. Hernandez pushed Williams and 30-year-old Jhon Pena onto subway tracks just before a train rolled into the station. Pena ignored his injuries to pull Williams to safety before the train could roll through; unfortunately, though, Williams suffered a brain bleed that left him with no brain activity. The Honduran national was arrested for attempted murder, which has now been upgraded to second-degree murder. At the time of his heinous actions, Hernandez was living in New York City — a sanctuary jurisdiction that limits cooperation with immigration enforcement.

• Gender-confused Colombian and child rapist being freed: Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, who is from Colombia, is a man pretending to be a woman. Last year, he followed a teenage boy into a bodega and raped him. “Nick” has pleaded guilty to second-degree rape and was sentenced to … six months, which had already been served. Sentencing will occur on April 27, after which “Nick” will be free to roam the sanctuary jurisdiction of New York City unless immigration agents are there to detain and deport him. When a man illegally enters the U.S., deportation is appropriate. When he commits rape on U.S. soil, he no longer deserves deportation but the full force and fury of the U.S. legal system.

• Olympics bans men from women’s events: While it took over a decade, the International Olympic Committee finally issued a definitive, scientifically based policy to determine an athlete’s eligibility to compete in women’s events. The IOC announced on Thursday that only biological females will be permitted to compete in women’s events, beginning with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. The means of determining an athlete’s sex will be via gene screening for the presence of the SRY gene. The IOC explained that “the SRY gene is fixed throughout life and represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development.” IOC President Kirsty Coventry noted, “The scientific evidence is very clear: Male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports that rely on strength, power, or endurance.” The IOC also noted that screening for the SRY gene will be conducted via testing saliva or blood samples, which is relatively unintrusive.

• Dem legislators in PA don’t know what a woman is: On Thursday, the Democrat-controlled Pennsylvania House withdrew consideration of a resolution proposed by a Democrat lawmaker to recognize March as “National Women’s Month” after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include a definition for “woman.” State Rep. Carol Hill-Evens introduced the bill, writing that it “celebrat[es] the extraordinary accomplishments of women,” which “too often go unacknowledged.” When State Rep. Aaron Bernstine offered an amendment to define a woman, House Speaker Joanna Mcclinton announced, “The resolution is temporarily over.” State House Republican Caucus spokesman Jason Gottesman cogently observed, “If Democrats want to celebrate what they refuse to define, it is clear they do not take this issue seriously.”

• DOJ to investigate California and Maine for housing men in women’s prisons: The Department of Justice will be launching an investigation into the states of California and Maine over whether they have violated the “constitutional rights of female prisoners.” Governors Gavin Newsom and Janet Mills were notified that the DOJ will investigate over concerns that male inmates were being housed among female inmates in women’s prisons. Attorney General Pam Bondi explained, “Keeping men out of women’s prisons is not only common sense — it’s a matter of safety and constitutional rights. The Trump Administration will not stand by if governors are facilitating the abuse of biological women under the guise of inclusion.”

• The NHL’s Gay Predators: Nashville’s NHL team, named the Predators, celebrated Pride Night this week, even updating the team’s logo of a predatory animal with rainbow colors. What a genius move to expose yourselves as “gay predators” — go team! Although Nashville has been hosting Pride Night for 11 years, the Predators went to a whole new level this year by having a band named the Cowgays (insert puke emoji) sing the national anthem. As one commenter on X put it, “Tonight, Nashville’s NHL team will be gay Predators, the band stage will feature a tranny, & the National Anthem will be sung by a Jesus-mocking, queer country band.” Another commenter mocked, “A team called the Predators doing a pride night. The jokes write themselves.” It would be a lot funnier if it weren’t all too true. When they tell you who they are, believe them.

• Anthropic beats Pentagon, for now: The Pentagon and the U.S. president determined that Anthropic’s AI models are not an acceptable tool for the U.S. military. Biden-appointed Judge Rita Lin of San Francisco knows better and has granted an injunction to Anthropic over its blacklisting. The injunction hampers the president’s executive order banning federal agencies from using Claude models and impedes the Pentagon’s efforts to designate Anthropic as a threat to national security. The Pentagon and Anthropic had signed an agreement last year and were negotiating the deployment of its AI into the military when talks fell apart due to Anthropic’s insistence on the ability to second-guess military applications of its product in real time. Judge Lin says this case is not about the non-use of Anthropic’s product but whether the government violated the law in retaliation for failed negotiations.

• Gabbard says Ukraine tried to help Biden: DNI Tulsi Gabbard has revealed that there was a plan to send hundreds of millions of American tax dollars to Ukraine for a “clean energy” project during a war, and that 90% of those funds would then be cycled back to the Democratic National Committee for Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign. There isn’t (yet) evidence that this was carried out, likely because Biden dropped out of the race. U.S. intelligence intercepted communications about this plot in 2022 but never investigated them. Two American subcontractors were set to receive USAID money earmarked for an “infrastructure project” in Ukraine that was then supposed to be moved into the Democrat till. Hot Air’s David Strom reports that Gabbard asked USAID officials “to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.”

• Bill Maher awarded Mark Twain Prize despite White House objection: The Trump Kennedy Center awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to comedian and cultural commentator Bill Maher. This announcement is a surprise given the White House’s claim last week that a report stating Maher would receive the award was “fake news.” Furthermore, President Donald Trump recently blasted Maher as a “highly overrated lightweight” who was “slightly more talented” than other late-night hosts. Maher responded to the news by thanking “the Mark Twain people” and saying, “I’d just like to say that it is indeed humbling to get anything named for a man who’s been thrown out of as many school libraries as Mark Twain.”

• Trump’s signature will soon be on U.S. dollar bills: 2026 is America’s 250th anniversary, so a series of commemorative coinage and other currency will be minted. The U.S. dollar will also get a new print run, and for the first time, it will feature the sitting president’s signature. Donald Trump loves to see his name on buildings and products, but some may say the dollar bill is a bridge too far. The president has previously renamed the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center and has overseen his face being added to National Park passes alongside George Washington. Both actions have been challenged in court, and the dollar signature may face legal challenges as well.
