Police: U.S. Couple Killed, Wife Raped by Escaped Inmates Who Stole Yacht in Caribbean
While the bodies of 71-year-old Kathy Brandel and 66-year-old Ralph Hendry have not yet been found, the Royal Grenada Police Force has announced capital murder charges for three men who allegedly broke out of a holding cell on February 18, the same day the couple was last seen near their docked boat on the island
The Royal Grenada Police Force reported finding their boat ransacked and having blood spillage after it had been left deserted on the neighboring island country of St. Vincent a few days later. The three suspects were also found on the island and arrested on February 21.
“Police believe their killers threw their bodies overboard while sailing to St. Vincent,” the New York Post reported.
BIDEN’S BUDGET: TAX, SPEND, REPEAT
Bidenomics damaged our nation’s financial stability, and now the President’s $7.3 trillion budget adds insult to injury. This budget proposes massive tax hikes to fund a radical wish list spearheaded by the far left. President Biden treats the taxpayers as though we are limitless ATMs. Every dollar taken by the government from those who earned it is a dollar not spent on a family’s dinner table, a child’s education, or a retirement plan. This budget is nothing more than the Democrat ideologue’s blueprint for an election-year gambit at the expense of Americans. We must demand fiscal responsibility and restore the sanctity of the American taxpayer’s wallet.
- Biden’s budget includes $5.5 trillion in tax hikes — increasing from roughly 18 percent of GDP to 20+ percent — even after the IRS collected a record $4.9 trillion in tax revenue last fiscal year.
- It would be “the highest peacetime burden in American history, as well as the highest sustained taxes in American history,” according to one analyst.

- Biden proposes massive corporate tax increases, giving the U.S. a higher business tax rate than communist China.
- The Tax Foundation previously found that would kill 159,000 jobs, shrink the economy by $720 billion, and cut wages for low-income Americans.

- Biden’s budget restores billions of dollars for a supercharged IRS, even after it was successfully clawed back by Republicans.
- Biden proposes a second death tax by removing the step-up in basis upon certain inheritance.
- Biden proposes homebuyer and mortgage tax credits — an admission that record mortgage rates and skyrocketing rents are unaffordable under Biden — that would make the housing crisis worse by doing nothing to address supply.
- Biden wants billions to “train young workers” on climate change — a major tenant of AOC’s Green New Deal.
Walmart Bought a Finance App and Reduced Fraud Protections. Guess What Happened Next?
Only a few hours elapsed between the time that Carl’s pay landed in his checking account and when online thieves pilfered it. “They took all of it but like 67 cents,” he said. Months before, Carl had signed up for One Finance, a banking app. It’s owned and promoted by Walmart, where Carl works in a grocery department.
He was enticed by features like cash back on purchases at Walmart and the chance to receive his pay two days early, as well as by low fees and high interest rates. Everything was fine until Carl used his One debit card — for the very first time — to buy a video game at Walmart last fall. The next time he checked the app, he saw a series of unauthorized transactions that had drained his account. To get by, he tapped his savings, which he said was “just enough to cover everything.” Carl asked to be identified by first name only out of concern for his job security.
Carl’s experience has been distressingly common. One Finance was plagued by fraud and customer dissatisfaction after a Walmart-controlled partnership acquired it in 2022.
Biden unveils massive $7.3T budget with $5.5T in tax hikes, plans for ‘highest burden’ in US history
President Biden unveiled his election-year budget pitch Monday, calling for $5.5 trillion in tax increases by raising rates on the wealthy and corporations — while driving up spending by $7.3 trillion on defense, federal benefit programs, affordable housing and student debt cancellation, among other proposals.
The fiscal year 2025 budget — which is highly unlikely to be approved by Congress — matches last year’s topline tax increase level and spends $300 billion more while purportedly cutting the federal deficit by $3 trillion over the next 10 years, the White House said on Monday.
Fiscal hawks and Republicans alike were quick to call out the administration for the “reckless spending.”
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) noted the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates project the national debt would surge to $45.1 trillion — or 105.6% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) — by 2034 under the plan, up from $27.4 trillion.
Brian Riedl, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute focusing on the budget and taxes, told The Post on Monday that the president’s proposals would saddle the US with “the highest sustained income tax burden in American history as a share of the economy.”
Pentagon seeks almost $850 billion in 2025 proposed budget sent to Congress, which has yet to pass 2024 funding
The Pentagon on Monday sent Congress a nearly $850 billion budget request for fiscal 2025 that would invest heavily in technology aimed at countering Chinese military advancements and a pay raise for troops while also shrinking the size of U.S. armed forces.
The $849.8 billion proposed spending plan represents the largest dollar-figure ever sought by the Pentagon, but defense officials noted they would have requested more if not for spending caps imposed by Congress in 2023.
The budget caps — alongside the failure of Congress to pass a 2024 Pentagon budget more than five months into the fiscal year — forced the Defense Department to make “difficult, but responsible, decisions” in many cases, including to cut some 7,800 service members from the active-duty force, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote in a statement accompanying the budget rollout.

E-bike theft crew terrorizes NYC food delivery workers, stabs one man in stickup: cops
Several suspects — seen in images released by the NYPD Monday — flashed guns, knives and razor blades in the 11-day spree across Harlem where they targeted at least nine victims, cops said.
Eight of the victims were confirmed to be delivery workers, and seven of them lost their bikes to the thieving crew, police said.
In one case, six crooks – one of them armed with a knife – got in on the action, snatching an e-bike, delivery bag and cellphone from a 30-year-old worker on West 124th Street near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd, around 7 p.m., authorities said.
Congress Passes ‘Last Minute’ Pork-Filled Spending Bill To ‘Avoid Shutdown
The U.S. Senate Friday approved a $460 BILLION spending bill sent to it by their “esteemed colleagues” in the House to “keep the government going” until March 22, when another funding bill will be “needed” to feed the beast.
And, in so doing, both houses not only offered Americans a dazzling example of pork-packing that even most owners of sausage plants would envy, they served up another educational moment in the long history of politicians relying on the Hegelian Dialectic of presenting two false choices as their options.
Whistleblowers | Full Measure
Way back in 1778, the Continental Congress unanimously passed America’s first whistleblower law. It recognized the duty to “give the earliest information to Congress… of any misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors” committed by anyone working for government.
Two hundred forty-six years later, whistleblowers have an incredible record of changing the course of history.
Trans founder of defunct DC LGBTQ non-profit arrested on charges of fraud, money laundering after fleeing the country
Ruby Corado, 53, was taken into custody on March 5 and subsequently charged with bank fraud, wire fraud, laundering of monetary instruments, monetary transactions in criminally derived proceeds, and failure to file a report of foreign bank account.
According to the Department of Justice, Corado received over $1.3 million from the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan program under the assumption that the money would be used to pay for employees’ salaries and other business-related expenses at Casa Ruby, which provided housing and support for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Instead, it has been alleged that Corado diverted more than $150,000 to private bank accounts in El Salvador, accounts which Corado then hid from the Internal Revenue Service.
It wasn’t until 2022 that news of the “financial irregularities” at Casa Ruby was made public. It turned out that employees were no longer being paid on time, transitional housing was shut down, and multiple properties were on the verge of evicting tenants after the non-profit failed to pay rent.
Backing Bad Food | Full Measure
You already know that Americans have been growing fatter and more disease-riddled in recent decades. Some of that’s blamed on pesticides, preservatives, chemicals, and the food we eat. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics bills itself as the world’s largest group of registered dietitian nutritionists.
But what if the things they teach and the advice they give is tainted by corporations that make unhealthy food?
Sweden and Finland join Nato’s biggest military exercise in decades
The first stage of the exercise is taking place in the remote white wilderness of the Finnmark region of northern Norway. It’s not that far from Norway’s 120-mile border with Russia. Though in this scenario Finnmark’s been invaded by a fictional enemy called Occasus.
Eivor, a 21-year-old Norwegian medical student and part-time soldier, says her grandparents had to flee this same area when the Nazis invaded in World War Two.
“I’d rather stay here and fight,” she says. She says she’s not expecting the Russians to invade “but of course you always have to stay on your toes”.
It’s the first big Nato exercise with forces from Sweden and Finland taking part as fully fledged members.
There’s a palpable sense of excitement among their troops at becoming part of the world’s largest military alliance. They’re also more willing to identify the threat.
Shifting Winds | Full Measure
The federal government recently approved the first west coast wind energy areas off the coast of Oregon to add to six along the east coast.
Meantime, power generated by Texas wind farms, the largest power market in America, fell a huge chunk in January due to low wind speeds. Lisa Fletcher looks at the shifting winds amid the Biden administration’s ambitious plans to move toward this form of green energy.
Israel killed Hamas’s ‘number four’ and the top three are dead men, Netanyahu vows
Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to kill all of Hamas’s top leaders as he says Israel has eliminated the group’s “number four”.
In a video statement, the Israeli prime minister said: “We are on the way to total victory. On the way to this victory, we already eliminated number four in Hamas. Three, two, and one are on the way.”
Number four is understood to refer to Hamas’s deputy political leader, Saleh al-Arouri.
Mr Netanyahu’s comments come amid an investigation into the fate of Hamas’s number three, Marwan Issa, the deputy head of the terror group’s military wing, who was reportedly targeted in an airstrike early on Sunday.
“They are all dead men, we will reach them all,” Mr Netanyahu added.

The Anti-White Media Campaign on Full Display
Republican House leadership rejects Biden’s $7.3 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2025
On Monday, after President Joe Biden unveiled his $7.3 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year (FY) 2025, House Republican leaders in Congress immediately rejected the high ticket spending proposal.
The $7.3 trillion proposal, the White House claims, “reduces the deficit by $3 trillion over the next 10 years.” House Speaker Mike Johnson in coordination with the House Republican leadership released a statement rejecting the proposal.
The New York Times reports that the budget is similar to last year’s proposal from the Biden administration which also did not go anywhere in Congress.
The White House cited decreases in the deficit since he took office in 2021 as a sign of progress in spending cuts. Although, aside from FY 2020 during the pandemic, the deficit levels in the Trump years are lower than the deficits in fiscal year 2022 and 2023.
Chinese crane company at center of espionage probe denies posing threat to US national security
The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party and the House Homeland Security Committee opened an investigation into Chinese-built ship-to-shore cargo cranes located at U.S. seaports after the Department of Justice warned last year that the equipment could be a Trojan horse, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The probe found that several seaport cranes, made by Shanghai-based manufacturing company ZPMC, contained communication devices that were not requested, including over a dozen cellular modems.
Engineering group ABB manufactured devices that were installed on the cranes, Fox Business reported.
Pictured: Florida spring breakers brawl, pound drinks and twerk on beaches despite crackdown
Throngs of scantily clad spring breakers still showed up to party and pound drinks in Miami Beach — despite the Florida city’s message that drunken crowds are no longer welcome.
A slew of bikini-wearing young women were spotted letting loose at Miami Beach for the first weekend of the notoriously unruly festivities — with many twerking, dancing and even somersaulting across the sand as the party kicked off.
Huge cheering crowds also formed as college kids got into wrestling matches, battled it out over beer pong and chugged cocktails from gallon jugs.
Police Arrest Teen After Video Shows Horrifying Attack
Video of the violent attack went viral on several major accounts on X, racking up tens of millions of views over just several hours.
The footage shows a black girl, who appeared to have a significant size advantage, throw a white girl on the ground and start to viciously beat in the victim’s face with her fist.
The victim tried to get away from the attacker, but the attacker grabbed her on the ground and threw her on her back against the pavement.
At that point the attacker grabbed the girl’s shoulders and repeatedly slammed her head into the pavement, causing life threatening injuries, as other individuals stood around and watched and recorded the attack with their cell phones.
Exclusive: Liz Cheney, January 6 Committee Suppressed Exonerating Evidence Of Trump’s Push For National Guard
Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.
Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.
In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.
