President Donald Trump has announced that he is planning to appoint a new national security advisor in about six months. 

H.R. 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, was pulled from the House floor. It added “or international governmental organization” after “foreign country” to the Anti-Boycott Act. Some had a problem with what they believe is the possibility that if Americans boycotted, they could end up in prison for 20 years. Under the 1st Amendment, Americans have […] The post HR 867 Pulled from the House Floor appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Our very important ally, India, is looking to make a deal for zero tariffs on steel, auto parts, and pharmaceuticals imported from the US. India Times reports that India is offering reciprocal zero-to-zero tariffs up to a certain quantity of imports on those items. Imported industrial goods would attract the regular level of duties, sources told […] The post Report: India Offers Zero-for-Zero Tariffs on Steel, Auto Parts, Pharmaceuticals appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The Senate Judiciary has still not considered Ed Martin’s nomination as US Attorney in DC. The problem is if it isn’t done now, Judge Boasberg, a leftist partisan, could get to pick the replacement. Martin is President Trump’s favorite attorney. The usual Senate RINO’s Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and possibly Mitch […] The post After Today, Judge Boasberg Could Get to Pick the US Attorney for DC appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump blistered Democrats in Congress in a Monday morning post on X, citing the latest impeachment filing against him as proof that members of the opposition party had “lost everything, especially their minds!” Trump laid out his thoughts in a lengthy post, arguing that those who would attempt to impeach him — again — were “total LOWLIFES” who had no interest in making the country better, only in attacking him for “cleaning up the MESS” left behind after four years under former President Joe Biden. The Democrats are really out of control. They have lost everything, especially their minds! These Radical Left Lunatics are into the “Impeachment thing” again. They have already got two “No Name,” little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the “Impeachment” of… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 5, 2025 “The Democrats are really out of control. They have lost everything, especially their minds! These Radical Left Lunatics are into the ‘Impeachment thing’ again,” Trump began, referencing impeachment articles filed by Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI). “They have already got two ‘No Name,’ little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the ‘Impeachment’ of DONALD J. TRUMP around, for about the 20th time, even though they have no idea for what I would be Impeached.” Thanedar’s filing, which came just ahead of the president marking his first 100 days in office, accused Trump of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, violation of power, bribery and corruption, citing the deportation of illegal alien gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia to his home country of El Salvador and claiming that the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was usurping congressional authority. Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who was censured for disrupting Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress, has also promised to introduce impeachment articles. Trump went on to offer sarcastic suggestions as to possible reasons he might be facing yet another impeachment filing: “Maybe it should be for cleaning up the MESS that they left us on the Border, or the Highest Inflation in our Country’s History or, perhaps, it should be the incompetent Withdrawal from Afghanistan, or Russia, Russia, Russia/Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, or the Attack of Israel on October 7th that only proceeded because they allowed Iran to regain Great Wealth.” “These Congressmen stated that, they didn’t know why they would Impeach me but, ‘We just want to do it,'” Trump continued, suggesting that it was the Democrats who were actually guilty of crimes worth addressing. “The Republicans should start to think about expelling them from Congress for all of the crimes that they have committed, especially around Election time(s). These are very dishonest people that won’t let our Country heal! Why do we allow them to continuously use Impeachment as a weapon against the President of the United States who, by all accounts, is working hard to SAVE OUR COUNTRY.” “It’s the same playbook that they used in my First Term, and Republicans are not going to allow them to get away with it again. These are total LOWLIFES, who hate our Country, and everything it stands for,” Trump concluded, tossing a barb at Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the last-minute blanket pardon he’d received from former President Biden. “Perhaps we should start playing this game on them, and expel Democrats for the many crimes that they have committed — And these are REAL crimes. Remember, ‘Shifty’ Adam Schiff demanded a Pardon, and they had to use the power of the Auto Pen, and a Full Pardon, for him and the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, to save them from Expulsion, and probably worse!”

Pop singer Lady Gaga set the record for biggest attendance for a female performer during a free performance in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend. The 39-year-old singer attracted a crowd estimated to be 2.5 million people strong for her Saturday night show at Copacabana Beach. The concert was sponsored by the local government in an effort to help stimulate the local economy. During her performance, Gaga told the crowd, “Your spirit may be heard around the world tonight. Two and a half million people,” per Variety. “Tonight, we’re making history,” she added. “Thank you for making history with me… The people of Brazil are the reason why I can shine.” The outlet noted that the “Bad Romance” singer last performed in Rio 12 years ago. Fans stood in line for hours hoping to get a good spot. During Saturday’s show, Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, performed older songs like “Poker Face,” “Bloody Mary,” and “Alejandro” along with songs from her newly released album, “Mayhem.” The record for most concert attendees for a single female performer was previously held by Madonna, who played for a crowd of 1.6 million at the same location in May 2024, also during a free concert. While free concert attendance is only based on estimates and is therefore impossible to determine for sure, it’s believed that the most attended concerts overall were those of French composer Jean-Michel Jarre in Moscow 1997 and Rod Stewart’s concert in Copacabana in 1994, which are both believed to have attracted audiences of about 3.5 million people. Lady Gaga’s latest show is also making headlines due to two suspected terror attacks which were never carried out. Per CNN, two people were arrested for attempting to “recruit” people to deploy explosives and Molotov cocktails on the crowd. Per the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro, these individuals were targeting LGBT revelers and wanted to “[gain] notoriety on social media.” Another person planning to perform a “satanist ritual by killing a child or a baby” during the show was arrested and charged with terrorism offenses, the outlet noted. In a post on Instagram, Lady Gaga thanked fans, saying “nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show – the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil.” The singer wrote that “the sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away. Your heart shines so bright, your culture is so vibrant and special, I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you.”

United Airlines is cutting dozens of daily flights from Newark Liberty International Airport, citing critical FAA staffing shortages and failing infrastructure—yet another example of how government incompetence is stranding everyday Americans. FAA Meltdown Forces United’s Hand United Airlines has announced it will cancel 35 round-trip flights daily—more than 10% of its total operations—at Newark, one of its busiest hubs. The move comes after CEO Scott Kirby called out the airport’s “chronically understaffed” air traffic control operations, which have repeatedly caused massive delays and system-wide disruptions. Kirby said the decision was made “to protect our customers” after widespread delays, diverted flights, and technology failures made normal operations impossible. Despite growing demand for summer travel, the FAA has proven it cannot meet basic operational standards. FAA Exodus Leaves Critical Gaps in U.S. Airspace According to a Department of Transportation report, more than 20% of FAA personnel have left the agency since COVID—many of them air traffic controllers. Those remaining are burdened by outdated equipment and strict federal hiring rules that prevent quick replacements. Ugh. United will cancel 35 roundtrip flights per day at Newark airport due to FAA staffing and equipment issues. https://t.co/UyENH5KPmV — Paul Farhi (@farhip) May 2, 2025 Controllers work with decades-old technology, and training programs haven’t kept pace with demand. This isn’t just a staffing issue—it’s a full-blown crisis rooted in federal negligence and lack of investment in vital infrastructure. Government Promises, Airlines Act Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the Biden administration plans to hire 2,000 new controllers and offer retention bonuses. But that’s a long-term fix—meanwhile, United is taking action now to avoid more chaos by cutting flights and pushing for Newark to be reclassified to reflect its true capacity. EWR is a crucial hub that needs updated technology and a strong workforce. FAA must act to ensure passenger safety, and give air traffic controllers and all airport workers the right tools to do their jobs. I will be taking action at the federal level to demand the FAA address… https://t.co/n4rdv5W8Rh — Rep. LaMonica McIver (@RepLaMonica) May 3, 2025 Kirby has laid out a three-point plan for reform: more staff, modernized tech, and facility upgrades. Until then, United says it has no choice but to reduce operations. Passengers flying through Newark can expect leaner schedules—but hopefully fewer headaches.

Just when you think there can’t possibly be a new way for someone to propose, someone manages to think outside of the box. Will knew that he wanted his engagement to take place at Universal Studios. It was all a part of his big plan. You see, both Will and his now fiancé, Kally Hallett, are huge fans of the How to Train a Dragon series. So, when a trend related to the second film went viral, he knew exactly what he needed to do. In case you aren’t aware, a scene from How to Train Your Dragon 2 has taken social media by storm. In this scene, two characters (Stoick and Valka) dance. Couples love it so much, they’ll recreate it online. So, that is exactly what Will and Kally did while, fittingly, at the Isle of Berk in Universal Studios… but with a twist. See this sweet proposal in the video below! @kallybird THANK YOU @Cat and @Universal Destinations !!! We’re going to remember this moment forever! Together, forever #epicuniverse #isleofberk #httyd #howtotrainyourdragon #httyd2 #forthedancingandthedreaming #universalstudios #universalorlando ♬ For The Dancing And The Dreaming – Gerard Butler & Craig Ferguson & Mary Jane Wells “Y’all might be the first people to propose at Isle of Berk,” someone points out in reply to Kally’s video, another person pointing out, “Honestly that was smooth using the move that makes him already go on his knee to propose.” How to Train Your Dragon Inspired Engagement at Universal Studios is Sure to Melt Your Heart As that last commentor pointed out, Will really thought this proposal idea through. In most cases, the reveal of a proposal happens right as someone starts to get down on one knee. After all, how often do most of us do that otherwise? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kally Hallett (@kallybird_) But because that move happens in the dance, Kally remained entirely unaware of what was about to happen until she saw the ring in Will’s hands. Needless to say, this extra thoughtful method blew her away! “We’re going to remember this moment forever!” Kally writes in the caption of her video. “Together, forever.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
