Tom Homan Is Already Making Moves Now That a New DHS Director Is on the Way

Border czar Tom Homan is reportedly cultivating a relationship with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) after President Donald Trump tapped him as the new Department of Homeland Security Secretary.

The border czar appears eager to establish a working rapport with the incoming DHS chief after a contentious relationship with Kristi Noem, who Mullin is replacing.

From Politico:

Tensions between border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ran so high over the last year that they barely spoke. Homan is determined to avoid a repeat.

Homan is making a concerted effort to quickly build a relationship with Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Noem at the Department of Homeland Security, according to three people close to the administration who are familiar with the efforts. The border czar has already introduced Mullin to key Trump allies, as well as players in the immigration policy space, as the senator gears up to take the reins at the sprawling government agency responsible for some of the president’s top policy priorities.

It’s a way for Homan, a 40-year veteran of immigration enforcement, to exert his influence and serve as an adviser to the White House and DHS, hovering between both worlds. It’s how Homan allies hoped his border czar role would work when Trump returned to office, but his toxic relationship with Noem — and her senior adviser Corey Lewandowski — froze him out of key decisions, fueling a disjointed enforcement effort.

When Noem was in charge of the agency, she and Homan reportedly clashed on how the White House should handle President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.

Homan and Noem had vastly different ideas about how to approach the president’s immigration enforcement agenda. Homan — an immigration hardliner and the architect of the Trump administration’s 2018 family separation policy — took issue with Noem’s flashy approach across U.S. cities, which resulted in clashes with community members and protesters, ultimately doing little to significantly advance the administration’s deportation goals.

Though Homan maintained relationships inside the White House, the border czar was often sidelined in top-level DHS discussions about the administration’s interior enforcement strategy. That shifted last month after federal agents in Minneapolis killed two U.S. citizens, causing a swift political backlash against Trump’s immigration agenda. The president removed Noem, and her ally, then-Border Patrol commander at-large Gregory Bovino, and deployed Homan to Minneapolis to work with local officials and ease tensions.

Mark Morgan, who headed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Trump’s first term, told Politico that Homan will “be able to actually carry out the role of the border czar that it was originally intended to do, that Kristi and Corey [Lewandowski] literally cut him off from doing.”

He further noted that Mullin would “utilize Tom in the role that the border czar was designed for and to seek his guidance, to seek his knowledge, to see his expertise.”

A previous Politico report detailed the power struggle between Noem and Homan. 

Trump announced on March 5 that Noem would be stepping down and that he would nominate Mullin as her replacement. The nominee’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is set to begin on Wednesday.

Boom: White House Nails CNN As They Try to Spin After Horrible Week of False Stories

Boom: White House Nails CNN As They Try to Spin After Horrible Week of False Stories

As we reported, CNN had a horrible week last week when it came to reporting the news. 

Now, they have an issue in general, but last week was particularly egregious, with their hosts/reporters having to issue multiple corrections for false stories, including about the NYC bomb attack and Operation Epic Fury. 

But if you listen to them try to spin, you would think that they hadn't put out any false stories.

CNN's Horrible Week Gets Worse As Details Emerge on Network Officials Partying at Iranian Embassy


Their media correspondent then tried to save them this morning, painting the problem as a "smear" from President Donald Trump as "unpatriotic" for "scrutinizing the Iran war." 

Of course, attempts to deter and discredit wartime reporting by questioning journalists' patriotism are as old as war coverage itself. But most Americans see through that type of ugly rhetoric pic.

Of course, that itself is a false story, as the problem isn't scrutiny, it's false stories that the various CNN entities/employees then had to correct/clarify. The White House Rapid Response X account then leveled him and CNN.

No, it's because news outlets like Fake News CNN are presenting outright lies as fact based solely on "anonymous sources" (also known as Democrats) and uncritically regurgitating literal propaganda from the Iranian regime.

How dare the Trump team expect that CNN commit journalism and report the truth? Those cads! They're asking far too much of CNN, those Hitlers! Asking them to be truthful is apparently now a "smear." Don't blame Trump if the American people take issue with CNN spreading false stories. You earned that backlash all on your own, and not just from last week.

Funny how often that "independent coverage" he claims seems to align with the Democratic narrative.

People know it. There's a reason that CNN has horrible ratings, and people don't watch it. Maybe if they changed their ways, they might get back some of the many viewers they have lost over the years. But that would require a lot more self-reflection and looking in the mirror than they seem to be willing to do now. 

Yes, Americans do see through the "ugly rhetoric." But that rhetoric is coming from the media like CNN, not the Trump administration.

Gavin Newsom's California Doesn't Really Exist

Gavin Newsom's California Doesn't Really Exist

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Saldentubrsk had been doing some fanciful things with jasmine rice and root beer-infused cocktail olives in pursuit of something he'd taken to calling "Hobo Juice." 

California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be the chief executive of the nation's most populous state, but he approaches that as if it were a distracting day job. For the last couple of years, Newsom has fancied himself a podcaster and social media influencer. All of that is being done in the service of his eventual 2028 presidential run, his ambitions for which are the worst-kept secret in American politics. 

As far as Gavin Newsom is aware, he is the most popular boy in school. In California politics, Democrats don't actually have to be good at politics; they just have to meet the right money people early on. If, like Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris, they start in the Bay Area, they're on a fast track. California is a massive blue echo chamber, so Newsom never comes within a mile of realistic or negative feedback. 

Like all elected Democrats here in the Year of Our Lord 2026, Gavin Newsom is motivated solely by an all-consuming hatred for President Donald Trump. One of the most frequent symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome is the constant creation of alternative realities. In order to bolster his presidential prospects, Newsom has crafted an elaborate fiction about the present condition of the state that he kinda/sorta governs. In his version of the story, the Golden State is the picture of financial health and a progressive Utopia.

Not so much.

The once-great city of San Francisco — where Newsom used to be mayor — is in a financial doom spiral from which it is unlikely to fully recover. Hollywood isn't Hollywood anymore; television production has mostly moved to Canada and Georgia. Incredibly wealthy tech bros and other billionaires are hot-footing it out of California before they can be taxed into oblivion. That upsets a lot of the state's revenue generation plans. My good friend and partner in thought crime Stephen Green has the most recent news on that front:

Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he's the latest billionaire to join the exodus out of California as the "billionaire tax" initiative gathers signatures for the November ballot. "On December 18, I moved to Texas," he told TPBN hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays. "I don't know what's so specific about December 18, but let's just say it's prior to January."

If the initiative passes, it would levy a one-time 5% tax on the entire net worth of the state's billionaires, backdated to Jan. 1, 2026. That much you probably already knew.

Stephen explains the Big Labor involvement in California's attempt to gouge the billionaires. In this case, it's SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, which isn't even the most powerful union in the state. That would be the California Teachers Association, which pretty much owns every elected Democrat in Sacramento. Later in Stephen's post, he writes that an estimated $1 trillion has left California in billionaires' pockets. 

It is worth noting that a lot of the billionaires who have left California have been reliable supporters of the Democratic Party. It's not like Newsom and Co. are only chasing away disgruntled conservatives.

There is a lot more wrong with Gavin Newsom's California that he can't hide from. This is from something that my Townhall colleague Dmitri Bolt wrote yesterday:

Steve Hilton is the latest Republican to tilt at windmills in pursuit of the governor's office in California. Many think he's got a shot, but he's still trailing the execrable Eric Swalwell in polling. 

We haven't even gotten around to Newsom's awful response to the Palisades fire last year. You get the idea of the current trainwreck state of California, though.

These are problems that California Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media have been glossing over, but which they won't be able to bury when his exposure on the national stage is greater. If a more viable and diversity-friendly candidate emerges, the MSM will turn on the lily-white Newsom. 

As I have written many times, Gavin Newsom's California story won't play that well outside of California, even among his fellow Democrats. That's because they all know that it's only a story.

What is to be done?

What is to be done?

by Scott Johnson in Democrats, Media, Terrorism


The supporters of genocidal anti-American terrorist groups have no fear or shame gathering to express their allegiance on the streets of New York or elsewhere. Leaving the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis one Thursday afternoon during the second Feeding Our Future trial I found Hamas supporters wearing their keffiyehs massed outside the doors. They made me ill. I took the skyway back to my car.

With recent terrorist attacks in the United States, the song remains the same. Who are these people? What are they doing here? What do they want? Even beyond the heart of darkness in Dearborn, I’ve got a pretty good idea. The organs of the mainstream media more or less ignore these these questions. Their curiosity is curiously limited.

Some of the genocidal terrorist supporters are prominent Democrats. One of them is the mayor of New York. We have one in Minneapolis closer to my home. In days of old we used to call such folks the enemy within. Former Minneapolis Mayor Hubert Humphrey staked his career on expelling the enemy within from the Democratic Party — not the same enemy exactly, but similar — from the Democratic Party. Mister, we could use a man like Hubert Humphrey again.

President Obama showered billions of dollars on the genocidal maniacs running the Iranian regime. He had no beef with the regime. He lied about stopping their nuclear program. He thought Israel needed to learn to get along with the regime. To the extent he thought about it, President Biden was of the same school. Weird.

The organs of the mainstream media support the enemy within. Clarice Feldman calls them “The jihad-adjacent journalists.” New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin devotes his work today to “homefront media coverage [that] can’t be trusted.” Goodwin addresses the treatment afforded the late mass-murderer wannabe Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, formerly of the failed state of Lebanon, a naturalized American citizen at the time of his demise last week. The Post names names — Democrat names — in its editorial today.

Goodwin concludes his column: “Beware America, there are enemies among us.” They have their supporters in the Democratic Party and accordingly the party’s mainstream media organs. What is to be done?

Why Now? Questions Abound Over César Chávez's 'Cancelation' — 33 Years After His Death

Why Now? Questions Abound Over César Chávez's 'Cancelation' — 33 Years After His Death

The public shaming over that leftist labor hero, the late United Farm Workers Union co-founder César Chávez, has continued apace as detestable allegations of child sexual abuse and even rape have been making the rounds following a New York Times exposé published on Wednesday.

The accusations by his former ally, Dolores Huerta, are horrific and have caused celebrations of the planned March 31st "César Chávez Day" in multiple states to be altered or canceled outright. Consternation among Democrats has been cringeworthy as they mull what to do about the hundreds of roads, schools, and parks named after him, much less the myriad colorful murals covering numerous buildings in places like Los Angeles.

Multi-hued paintings of the late leader suddenly have poor optics when you consider he may have been a predatory pedophile. It’s a sordid story, to be sure, and has ruined the reputation of a minutes-ago leftist hero.

But why now? What changed? Hollywood sex predator Harvey Weinstein is still alive (though rotting in Rikers Island), but this Chávez guy died in 1993.

Drama in United Farm Workers Union As Late Co-Founder César Chávez Accused of Disturbing Sex Crimes


Whispers about his conduct had been flowing for years, but now, we’re suddenly supposed to believe that this is stunningly unearthed new information? The UFW has denied any knowledge of his misdeeds and distanced themselves from his name within seconds when the scandal broke, but we’re really expected to buy into the idea that, after all those decades of rumors, they never had the slightest clue?

Here is some of the speculation we’re seeing regarding the odd timing of this “news”:

  1. The NY Times had been working on this story for years, and only finally printed their conclusions now. 

    Yeah, my BS meter is on high alert for this theory, because there’s no way they could have kept any secret knowledge under wraps for long periods of time had they had the smoking gun. The egos at the formerly great outlet are simply too big, and someone would have surely leaked it had they had the goods.

  2.  It’s an inside job by the UFW and their allied Democrats because they wanted to distance themselves from the narrative-busting fact that Chávez was vehemently against illegal immigration and, in fact, regularly called border crossers “wetbacks.”

    His views fly in the face of the current progressive mantra of their “let them all in” border philosophy, so if his legacy needs to be ruined, so be it.

    I give credence to this theory because the Left is just that savage, maniacal, and willing to throw anyone under the bus who doesn’t serve their radical visions.

  3. This could only happen in the present day, because Chávez’s longtime ally and co-founder of the UFW, 95-year-old Dolores Huerta, is only now willing to go on record saying that he raped her in her youth. She claims she kept silent all these years because she didn’t want to hurt the farm worker movement. 

    How absolutely disgusting, if I may say so. She was willing to put little girls at risk of sexual abuse and not speak out because she was more worried about some socialist movement than she was about them? She may be ending the sunset days of her life, and we’re supposed to be graceful toward our elders, but I’m having a hard time finding much sympathy for her decades-long silence.

  4. This is all a distraction by Trump and Co. to pull focus away from the Epstein files

    I won’t waste any more pixels on this one, because it’s the realm of conspiracy theorist underpants guys in their basements.

Pick your theory; several are plausible. The bottom line is this is coming out 33 years later, and that is frankly weird. It certainly seems like a coordinated effort to bring down a guy who died decades ago. Of course, as a father, I’m certainly disgusted by his alleged activities, but the timing is beyond suspect.

The question isn’t, why are you reporting this now, but, Why weren’t you reporting it then? The evidence was there.

When a harsh fact gets in the way of a Leftist Hero narrative, the modus operandi for the mainstream media is to turn away and focus on something else, and cover for them.

Until they no longer serve their needs. 

Evidently, César is now worthy of the chum bucket for the sharks because he no longer serves "The Cause." 

One is left to wonder, who is more depraved? Chávez for his suspected perversions, or those who turned a blind eye to it for decades?

Artificial Intelligence: The 'Tokyo Rose' of the Iran war

Artificial Intelligence: The 'Tokyo Rose' of the Iran war

Artificial Intelligence: The 'Tokyo Rose' of the Iran war
X/@CENTCOM

My wife Lori is one of the most astute observers of the American political and cultural scene that I know. In addition to being well-read and plugged into social media, she’s also a Baylor University journalism graduate (back when the J-school in Waco actually taught objective reporting rather than trafficking in absurd Trump- bashing hysteria.) She is not, therefore, prone to spending a lot of time on wild, unsubstantiated rumors from online kooks.

But Saturday evening, she informed me that social media posts and online chatter were “blowing up everywhere” with stories that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been killed in attacks by Iran and that videos were circulating everywhere that purported to show Bibi’s family grieving over his death. (One other post stated that Vladimir Putin had also tweeted that Netanyahu was dead.)

Personally, I would entrust second-hand reports about tweets Putin had made with more credibility than on-air updates from CNN. But that’s a story for another column.

I began scouring online sources…and I didn’t have to look very far. One video—featuring on-camera a breathless man in a black fedora hat, which observant Jews sport—showed “Tel Aviv” ablaze after missiles landed throughout the city, “because the air defenses over Tel Aviv are no longer operational.” He added that “The Iranians are hitting at will with the most powerful ballistic missiles. 50 ballistic missiles hit Tel Aviv last evening alone.”

The goofball in this video—purporting to be breaking news that no other media outlets on Earth are reporting because “anybody releasing a picture or video of the damage in Tel Aviv is immediately sentenced to 5 years in prison.” Right. The BBC, Sky News, CNN and all other broadcast and print organizations are covering up the collapse of the Iron Dome and carnage that has “turned Tel Aviv into Gaza”…but this guy with his homemade video is the one person revealing what’s really going on. And talk about mixed messaging: while he’s decked out to look like an observant Jew, he’s pontificating in an accent that—if you close your eyes—you would swear is the Scottish brogue of the Fat Bastard character in Mike Myers’ comedy film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Obviously, this “reporter” and the “actual video” he’s distributing is the latest—and most dangerous—manifestation of Artificial Intelligence. We all laugh at cute videos of Golden Doodles talking about their masters feeding them treats, or President Trump as a baby dressing down infant versions of Rand Paul or Jasmine Crockett…but this new, dark turn into wartime propaganda reveals the dangers inherent in AI, as well.

During World War II, when America and the world were threatened by Japan’s emperor Hirohito, battling the forces of freedom in the Pacific combat theater, Radio Tokyo hired a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters (collectively known as Tokyo Rose) to deliver Japanese propaganda. These cruel messages were beamed onto ships and military bases, allegedly delivering words from wives and girlfriends designed to demoralize the troops. “Your wife is lonely and has taken up with other men” was a typical message… interspersed with music and fake “news” of how the “Imperial forces of Japan” were scoring victories and defeating American troops everywhere.

Of course, back in those days, the American media was still run for the most part by patriotic leaders who voluntarily worked closely with the Office of War Information (OWI) to help mobilize the public in support of defeating the Axis powers of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. Overwhelmingly, news coverage promoted national unity and encouraged recruitment for America’s armed services.

In 2026, mainstream media’s primary functions are to oppose the deportation of illegal aliens and to tear down anything related to President Donald J. Trump. They—like the AI video depicted above showing Tel Aviv reduced to rubble like Gaza—exist in a parallel universe where America is always racist and portrayed as a nation that suppresses the downtrodden.

TV reports and feature articles hysterically parrot Democratic Party talking points as “news”… including the canard that illegal immigrants must therefore not be deported because they built America. (They didn’t. Pilgrims who courageously broke from England—and later settlers who populated undeveloped Western regions of the United States—did the building. Illegals broke the law and snuck into America with the help of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, whose vision mirrors that of 100 percent of today’s Democrats: we must raise taxes on American citizens to support welfare programs and medical benefits for freeloaders who refuse to assimilate.)

Hirohito—the so-called “Prince Of The Rising Sun”—and his lackeys at Radio Tokyo must somewhere be laughing at how hard they had to work to infiltrate and demoralize Americans with Tokyo Rose broadcasts during World War II…even though they lost and were defeated in the end. (Sorry, Gen Xers. No “microaggressions” or cultural misappropriation here, just facts.)

Had they been around today, all they’d have needed would be a few laptops, some AI skills, and a cadre of anti-Semitic hollowheads in academia to undermine America’s current efforts to disarm Iran’s blueprint for nuclear blackmail of the world. They could join ABC News, CNN and other Fifth Columnists whose mission appears to be using their powerful, unfettered access to our airwaves to smear the United States at every turn.

If this is, in fact, “the nation illegal immigrants built”… that’s one more solid reason to deport them.

The Slave America Act

The Slave America Act

The Slave America Act

And it really is an act in light of all of the excuses why the Senate can’t pass a bill that everyone wants.

Most of us tend to procrastinate or get a bit lazy at times. “Go outside and rake the leaves.” “But it’s raining!” “The rain stopped two days ago. Get to work.” My wife told me the story of a woman who presented a beautiful chocolate cake with a single candle on it to her perplexed husband. It wasn’t his birthday, and their wedding anniversary was half a year earlier. Before he blew out the candle, he asked his wife as to the occasion of their celebration. “This is the one-year anniversary of my asking you to change the burned-out light in the garage.” Needless to say, the bulbs were switched before the cake was cut.

Procrastination is one thing, lying is another. And politicians lie like the rest of us breathe. The SAVE America Act is meant to guarantee that federal elections are secured for an electorate of kosher American citizens. The purpose of the new law is to weed out illegal aliens and reduce the possibility of fraud in mail-in voting. Every normal and even sub-abnormal country in the world requires picture IDs to vote. As they say in Yiddish, Duh.

Well, it turns out that a lot of people like the current system that allows for cheating and massaging electoral outcomes. The Democrats in the Senate are monolithically opposed to election reform, and that is no surprise. They have zero ideas for making the lives of Americans better or safer. What kind of ideas are thrown around by Democrats both in Washington and in your home state and town?

- Trans for everyone, including kids who are too young to spell ID.

- Pornographic material in your kid’s school library.

- Trillions in “reparations” for people who were never slaves from people who never owned slaves.

- An open border for all to enter the U.S. and receive benefits that you paid for.

- An end to ICE deportations. Who wants to throw someone out of the party?

- More DEI in the military so that America’s tanks and destroyers can be gayer.

- More DEI in college and the workplace so that your kid can never find work.

- More Muslim immigrants to completely change the face of America.

Thus, with such a losing program, the only way to win is to cheat. I think anyone who is honest with himself will admit that there are conflicting reports as to what happened during the 2020 elections. One hears about voting machines that, in the end, can be manipulated from close and afar. He also hears that there were many mail-in votes in which the signatures were not verified. Then there were votes that came in well after the formal end to voting, and they were all for Biden. And finally, dead people and illegal aliens were proven to have voted. Did any of the above alone or in combination change the outcome of the election? Donald Trump believes so, as the margins in several key states were in the tens of thousands. Americans, including Democrats, want elections based on ID and U.S. citizenship. Many senators do not.

So, the Democrats are a solid no. They have 47 seats currently in the Senate. Senator Fetterman has said that he would not support the SAVE America Act, though he has been otherwise a breath of fresh air in actually thinking before speaking. Bless his heart. But what of the 53 Republicans? No doubt they want fair and clean elections and would support any change in protocol regarding the filibuster in order to pass what might be the most important piece of legislation in recent memory. But such is not the case. As I wrote previously, we live in a three party system: Democrats, Republicans, and MAGA. While the latter is nominally affiliated with the Republican Party, its values and outlook fit more with the Tea Party. Patriotic, fiscally responsible, traditional in values, desirous of a closed border and ejection of illegal aliens—MAGA politicians are as different from the Chamber of Commerce Republican crowd as they are from the Democrats. But why would a non-MAGA Republican senator be opposed to making elections clean and honest? Because they hate Donald Trump no less than the Democrats do. Donald Trump has upset their apple cart. The USAID grift that kept their wives employed and their martinis chilled got the DOGE treatment. They know that if honest elections ever take place over the Fruited Plain, then their ilk will be selling used cars in the local strip mall. Americans want more like Trump and Cruz and Cotton and Hawley. Fair elections might actually allow enough of our elected officials to be of a right mind on patriotism, the budget, defense, and taxes to actually get some legislation passed and make America leaner and better. Those who are not in on the SAVE America Act don’t care if the Democrats cheat—as long as they get reelected and the NGO shtick that made them sudden millionaires keeps going. Trump cramps their style, and they have zero interest in having more people like him around.

So the Thunes and Cornyns have to be tied and dragged to vote in favor of a bill that even 75 percent of Democrats support. They and their friends on the other side of the aisle regaled us with blacks not being able to figure out how to go to the DMV to get an ID or how married women would be lost forever due to a change in their last names. Sen. Lisa Murkowski gurgled that the new law would disenfranchise Americans, though Scott Presler has said that nobody would need to register again after the law comes into effect. Chuck Schumer went so far as to say that “tens of billions of people” would be removed from the voter rolls. I knew that the airport in Vegas felt a bit crowded last time I was there—now I know why: the U.S. has more voters than there are people in the entire world.

We once had a meeting in Jerusalem between American victims of Palestinian terror and members of the DOJ, FBI, and U.S. Embassy. An official from the DOJ explained why they made zero effort to fulfill the law as written and prosecute those who harmed Americans overseas. During her remarks, she mentioned that Israel was a democracy, and all of the local Americans burst out laughing. She couldn’t understand why. The reason for the outburst is simple. Israel is a democracy—on steroids. Typical elections have 20 or 30 parties running for the Knesset. As the prime minister needs 61 members in order to form a government and no party has more than 35 seats, intense horse trading goes on. And in the end, some party with five members determines much of the political and economic policy for 10 million Israelis. And in the U.S., we also have a democracy, but one in which many involved are perfectly fine with illegal aliens voting and mail-in votes of unknown legitimacy being counted. Those folks countenance elections, but only if they are guaranteed to win. Do you remember the shock of Hillary and friends upon her losing? Google had an emergency meeting immediately after the 2016 vote in order that such an outcome should never happen again. Americans want picture IDs, something that in Israel is standard—and is standard in the U.S. for getting on a plane, buying liquor, or entering a federal building. This law has to pass if the U.S. is to have any future as a democracy. Your senator wants his grift; you want clean elections. Make sure that your senator knows that his future in the Senate depends on this upcoming vote.
