‘Worst of worst’ illegal immigrant MS-13 kingpin was recruited ‘in middle school’: AG Bondi

The “worst of the worst’’ MS-13 leader busted a half-hour from the US Capitol on Thursday was recruited by the killer gang while still in middle school, officials said — as they released his stone-cold mugshot.

Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, a 24-year-old illegal migrant and accused gang kingpin from El Salvador, was nabbed hiding in his mother’s home in Woodbridge, Va.

“We believe he was recruited in middle school — in middle school!” US Attorney General Pam Bondi told “The Ingraham Angle’’ on Thursday night.

“He’s been living here illegally with friends and family, and the Biden administration did absolutely nothing to deport these people,’’ the AG said. “You know, as [President Trump] says, we didn’t need new laws, we needed a new president to fix this.”

The cold-blooded gang leader — who stared chillingly into the camera for his mugshot — had a cache of weapons stashed in his room when caught, authorities said.

Among them was a handy compact Taurus G2c pistol sitting in open view on his bed with “TAURUS ARMAS MADE IN BRAZIL” stamped along its slide…

Coyote, Roadrunner Loitering Drone Interceptors To Arm U.S. Navy Destroyers

When the U.S. Navy’s supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford deploys later this year, its strike group will include Arleigh Burke class destroyers armed with Raytheon Coyote and Anduril Roadrunner-M counter-drone loitering interceptors.

Last year, TWZ laid out a detailed case for arming American warships with swarms of drones to provide a valuable additional layer of defense, as well as enhance their strike, intelligence-gathering, and networking capabilities. You can read that in-depth exclusive feature here.

Military.com was the first to report on the planned integration of the combat-proven Coyote and the Roadrunner-M, which the U.S. military is buying steadily more of, onto Navy Arleigh Burke class destroyers.

This has come in response, at least in part, to lessons learned from U.S. operations against Iranian-backed Houthi militants in and around the Red Sea. Since October 2023, the Houthis have been launching long-range kamikaze drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, at foreign warships and commercial vessels, as well as targets in Israel.

“We’re going to be deploying the Ford Strike Group with two additional missile systems on our destroyers – the Roadrunner system and the Coyote system – both specifically designed to go after UAVs [uncrewed aerial vehicles],” Navy Adm. Daryl Caudle, head of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, told reporters last week, according to Military.com.

The U.S. Army currently fields Coyote Block 2 as part of the mobile and fixed-site versions of its Low, Slow, Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System (LIDS).

Versions of LIDS have been deployed to sites in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe and have seen combat use in at least some of those locales. The U.S. special operations community is known to have fielded Roadrunner-M in a land-based configuration, though details of its use to date are limited.

What exactly the integration of counter-drone systems using Coyote or Roadrunner-M onto the Arleigh Burke will consist of, including whether or not they will be tied in with the Aegis Combat Systems on those ships, is unclear…

‘Abandoned Its Core Mission’: Lawmakers To Probe Biden FBI’s ‘Partisan Investigations’

House Republicans will probe the “partisan investigations” the FBI carried out under the Biden administration in a hearing next week, The Daily Wire has learned. 

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight will speak with multiple former FBI agents about the “decline” of the bureau under President Joe Biden on April 2. Under Biden, the FBI faced criticism for its investigations into President Donald Trump, treatment of Christians, and targeting of peaceful pro-life advocates. 

The subcommittee said that the hearing will examine how the FBI “abandoned its core mission to uphold the Constitution and protect the American people, wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned money on partisan investigations, ineffective procedures, and abusive tactics.”

Chaired by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), the hearing will also “highlight how the FBI, under the Trump Administration and Director Kash Patel’s leadership, is focused on regaining public trust and returning to its original mandate of protecting the American public.”

“Under the Biden administration, taxpayer dollars were being used for politically motivated investigations that harmed innocent Americans and violated their rights,” Van Drew told The Daily Wire. “Next week, we will uncover the full extent of these misused resources and the damage done to the American people. As chairman of this subcommittee, my priority remains to restore trust in our justice system and ensure that our agencies operate fairly and without political bias.”

Biden’s FBI, helmed by Christopher Wray, was sharply criticized for its handling of numerous operations, including a raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home to seize alleged classified documents. 

The FBI also faced scrutiny over its armed raid of pro-life father of 11 Paul Vaughn at his home in rural Tennessee. Vaughn was arrested by the FBI over his involvement in a peaceful pro-life protest at Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, abortion facility in 2021….

The Judge Boasberg/Ray Epps connection should scare every American…

James Boasberg isn’t just some random DC judge—he’s the Deep State’s go-to gavel. He’s a loyal foot soldier in the left’s lawfare machine. When the Swamp needs a ruling to punish the right and protect their own, Boasberg always delivers. And nowhere is that more obvious than in the case of the very mysterious character Ray Epps.

Revolver’s Darren Beattie was one of the first to blow the lid off the Ray Epps story. Back in 2021, he was asking the hard questions the media refused to touch—and many of those questions still haven’t been answered to this day.

Kash Patel, Trump’s new FBI Director pick, has also raised serious questions about Ray Epps—and those questions will hopefully be answered now that he’s in charge.

So, the guy who helped lead the charge on January 6 and who, for years, somehow avoided the DOJ’s obsession with J6 prosecutions while grandmas and peaceful protesters were hunted down and dragged through the mud ended up getting the lightest slap on the wrist from the Deep State’s biggest anti-Trump “rent-a-judge” on the planet.

After Epps was finally charged—with a single count of disorderly conduct—he was rewarded with a wrist slap from Boasberg: one year of probation. No jail. No lectures. No talk about mobs or responsibility. Just a quiet walk out the back door.

Compare that treatment to how Boasberg treated a married couple in October 2023 who were charged with nonviolent misdemeanors for simply being at the Capitol. The husband, Christopher Price, had just learned his cancer had returned. Boasberg sentenced him to 45 days in federal prison anyway. His wife, Cynthia Bellinger? Four months behind bars. Why? Because, according to Boasberg, “a mob is only a mob if it has numbers.”

Apparently, those numbers didn’t apply to Ray Epps.

Even worse, Boasberg scolded the couple for lacking “remorse” and “fighting everything”—as if pleading not guilty is a crime now. But for Epps? No moral lecture. No tough words. Just a gentle pat on the back from the Deep State’s most dependable judge.

Also, let’s not forget—this is the same Judge Boasberg who let FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith off with no prison time after Clinesmith falsified evidence to justify spying on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page during the Russia Hoax.

Boasberg has a very clear pattern of going easy on the right kind of bad guys….


Former Trump Lawyer Goes to WAR vs. Radical California Court

A California court is still trying to disbar former Trump attorney John Eastman for his challenges to the 2020 election results. Eastman joins “Blaze News:

The Mandate” to explain that this is simply an extension of the various Democrat lawfare attacks over the years, ranging from the Russia collusion hoax to the Fani Willis-led Georgia election case. He also says the case against Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order could bring down other cases.


DEI in Airlines Having Haunting Effect on Veteran Pilots, Many Afraid to Leave Co-Pilots Alone in the Cockpit

Veteran airline captain Sherry Walker said the infestation of DEI hiring programs has eroded safety standards so much that some pilots are afraid to take a bathroom break for fear their unqualified co-pilot might crash the plane in their absence.

Walker, who has been a commercial airline pilot for nearly 35 years, made the alarming revelation to Tucker Carlson in a podcast that aired Monday.

Carlson said he doesn’t want a person who espouses irrational propaganda — such as gender is a social construct — flying his plane.

“That’s irrational,” Carlson said. “That’s what freaks me out. It’s irrational. So if you believe in something so irrational, I don’t want you flying my airplane. “

Walker replied, “I don’t want you flying next to me on that airplane because I have to get up on a 10-hour flight and go take a break or go to the bathroom. How are you going to behave when I’m not here?”..
