The leader of the Satanic Grotto was led away in handcuffs at the Kansas Statehouse Friday morning after he scuffled with a protester who objected to his “black mass” ceremony there. Michael Stewart, president of the Satanic Grotto, was tackled to the ground by police officers in the rotunda of the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka as he attempted to hold the “black mass” ceremony. ?BREAKING: The leader of the Satanic Grotto gets arrested at Kansas State Capitol for assaulting a Catholic during a "Black Mass" attempt. pic.twitter.com/oo55sxO0SN — CatholicVote (@CatholicVote) March 28, 2025 Just before his arrest, Stewart appeared to repeatedly punch a protester who came up to him and tried to grab something out of his hand that he was holding above his head as he called out to Satan. He told officers he was not resisting arrest as he was handcuffed. “Hail Satan! I dedicate this building to Satan!” Stewart could be heard shouting as he was led away. Onlookers could be heard praying a “Hail Mary” as Stewart was led away. The Satanic Grotto previously said Friday’s “black mass” event would “dedicate the grounds and our legislature to the glory of Satan.” “God will fall and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer,” the group said. “I will be performing that black mass in our State Capitol,” Satanic Grotto President Michael Stewart previously told The Daily Wire. “If they have to arrest me, then they have to arrest me.” A “black mass” is an explicit parody of the Catholic Mass that may use consecrated hosts, which Catholics believe to be the physical body, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. “We have wafers,” Stewart said previously. “I don’t want to comment on whether they’re consecrated or not because that would ruin the mystery.” Alarmed critics warned the controversial event is wildly offensive to Catholics and could be disruptive. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly had warned the Satanic Grotto president to move his event outside, saying “no protests will be allowed inside the Statehouse” on that day. As Stewart entered the statehouse building, an officer told him he was welcome to be inside, but that he would be arrested if he tried to hold an event or cause a disruption. Earlier in the morning, police also apprehended a man who tackled Stewart and grabbed a communion wafer from him as he held the “black mass” on the steps of the Capitol building. Later, Stewart ventured inside. The hundreds of Catholic and Christian protesters who showed up Friday morning to rally outside the Kansas Statehouse far outnumbered the few dozen Satanists who held their own rally. Many officers with the Kansas Highway Patrol and Capitol Police were present as well. Catholics also held masses at two nearby churches, one across the street and another a few blocks away. It is not yet clear what, if any, charges Stewart will face. The Satanic Grotto president has previously shown up outside Planned Parenthood and performed lewd gestures to pro-life protesters outside.

Bill Murray revealed the movie role he still regrets not taking to this day, and it was one that Clint Eastwood offered him. Speaking on “The Howard Stern Show” podcast, the 74-year-old actor was asked by Stern if he’s “ever watched a film and said I want to act with this guy so bad?” The “Ghostbusters” star said definitely, and then shared that he was once offered a role in what turned out to be Eastwood’s 1986 military movie “Heartbreak Ridge,” The Daily Beast reported. “A long time ago I was watching the Clint Eastwood movies of the day, like ‘Thunderbolt and Lightfoot’ or whatever the hell movies he was making then,” Murray responded, “and I thought: ‘His sidekick gets killed, and he avenges, but the sidekick gets like a great part, a great death scene.’” “I was like, I got to call this guy,” he added. “So I called him out of the blue, and he said, ‘Would you ever want to do another service comedy?’ Because I just made ‘Stripes’ and he had this great idea for an enormous Navy thing.” “And when he said, ‘Would you ever want to do another service comedy?’ like jeez, ‘Would I become like Abbott and Costello?’ I had to do like military movies? And I said, ‘Well, God, I guess maybe I shouldn’t,’” Murray continued. Even after all these years, the “Groundhog Day” star said when he sees Eastwood, he still mentions to him how he should’ve taken it. “But it’s one of the few regrets I have is that I didn’t do it,” Murray said. “Because it was a big-scale thing, and I would have gotten a great – I don’t know if I’d have gotten a great death scene, it was more of a comedy, that one – but it was great. He had access to World War II boats and he could have like, made a flotilla and stuff, and there was some cool stuff in it.” “And when I see him, I’m like: ‘I’m sorry, I wish I’d done that, Clint, I’m really sorry,’” he added. “He’s certainly well over it. He’s a very resilient fella.” During his appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Murray talked about the early days of his career on “Saturday Night Live” and disagreed with others who’ve said that the late-night sketch comedy is just not as good as it once was, as previously reported. “People always give me a hard time about, ‘Oh, the original show was so great and it’s lousy now,’” Murray said, per Variety. “And I say, ‘No, it’s not.’ The show that’s on now, they do stuff that’s just as good as anybody ever did, all the time.” At the time, the actor also said he would “certainly” come back to help celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary in 2025, which he eventually did in February. “It was surprisingly emotional,” the movie star shared after his appearance on the show, per the “Today” show. “I wept three times in the show. Yeah, it really got to me.” Related: Bill Murray Names Which Comedian He’d Want To Play Him In Upcoming ‘SNL’ Movie

Fans are coming after actor Ryan Reynolds for his admission that his 7-year-old daughter, Inez, was supposed to make a sexually explicit joke as part of her role in the 2023 Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The 48-year-old actor, who shares Inez and two other daughters with actress Blake Lively, discussed what happened on the commentary track for the movie’s Deadpool Corps scene, per Buzzfeed. The scene in question features Inez playing a small child wearing a Deadpool mask, hoodie, and red pants. She was originally supposed to shout at Reynold’s character “Hey, when I want your opinion, I’ll take Wolverine’s d**k out of your mouth.” While discussing the scene, Reynolds said his child originally didn’t feel comfortable saying the line. “Guiltily, that is my daughter Inez,” the actor says in the commentary, prompting the film’s director Shawn Levy to reply, “I’m so sorry we have to admit that.” “I am father of the year over here for allowing her to say such language, which, to her credit, she really didn’t want to say,” Reynolds added. “And then [she] came back later and said: ‘I want to say it now,’ when I started looking at other people to play it.” Levy followed up by revealing that the child had to say other inappropriate things while filming the movie. “Yeah, but Ryan, to our discredit, we made Nezzy say — I’m not sh***ing you — 70 to 500 versions of that line,” the director said. “Yeah, I’m gonna pay for that later,” Reynolds said. Per a script of the movie on Disney, the line was changed to, “Hey! When we want your opinion, I’ll take my d*** out of your mouth!” Nicepool, a variation of Deadpool, then replies, “That’s Kidpool. He’s the dirtiest.” This back and forth is getting a lot of reactions online, which many social media users voicing their disgust that Reynolds would permit his young child to say those lines. “There’s no reason she needed to deliver that line herself. It’s a character with a mask and no visible mouth, it could easily have been dubbed over,” one Reddit user noted. “Or just remove the line completely,” another person responded in the thread. “If a comedy writer can’t make an equally funny line that an actor feels comfortable saying maybe they shouldn’t be a writer.” “A little innocent girl that doesn’t even understand the depth of these words. She changed her mind bc he looked into someone else doing the part. I want to cry,” an X user wrote. “It’s horrifying. This was the original line she didn’t want to say and they tortured her by making her say this and other ones over and over,” another person chimed in. Reynolds is currently involved in a legal battle with Lively’s former “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni. The couple accused him of defamation and other allegations, which prompted Baldoni to countersue for $400 million. A trial has been scheduled for March 2026. Baldoni also asserts that the “Nicepool” character was made as a way of mocking him.

An illegal alien who took to social media to encourage other illegal aliens to squat in abandoned houses has been deported back to Venezuela. Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno went viral on TikTok last year when he showed off a stack of dollar bills, boasted about handouts from the federal government, and encouraged other illegal aliens to squat in uninhabited houses in the United States. “I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” he said in one video posted to TikTok. Now Moreno has been sent back to his home country of Venezuela. Moreno crossed the southern border and into Eagle Pass, Texas, under the Biden administration on April 23, 2022. He was released into the interior of the country and failed to appear for check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to his arrest in Columbus, Ohio, in March 2024. The 27-year-old Venezuelan national was ordered to be deported from the United States on September 9th, 2024, but Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had stopped accepting deportation flights into the country earlier that year in retaliation to the reimposition of economic sanctions against the country. Venezuela began accepting deportation flights from the United States after President Donald Trump took office earlier this year. Moreno caused a disruption on his deportation flight back to his home country and had to be sectioned off in his own area of the plane with extra security, though it is unclear what exactly he did to start the disturbance. Diosdado Cabell, Venezuela’s Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, said that Moreno was “welcome” back to the country. The deportation of Moreno comes as the Trump administration is locked in a legal battle over the expedited removal of other Venezuelan nationals connected to the violent gang and foreign terror organization Tren de Aragua. Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportations of Tren de Aragua members, but the move has been halted by a left-wing, Obama-appointed federal judge. That injunction was recently upheld by a federal judge who donated to Democratic candidates and volunteered for the Obama campaign.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was grilled during an interview on Friday for calling on Trump defense officials to resign over their use of a Signal chat group given that he never called for Biden defense officials to resign when they had major screwups. Coons made the remarks on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” when pressed by co-host Joe Kernen over his calls for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to resign while he remained silent during the Biden years with regard to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. “Did you call for Lloyd Austin’s resignation?” Kernen asked. “Not only did we lose 13 service members, we left $70 billion worth of equipment that fell into the hands of the Taliban. Couple of years later, he was out of pocket for two weeks and didn’t tell the White House.” “Did you ask for him to resign at this point?” he pressed. “Are you actually asking for Hegseth and Waltz to resign when you didn’t ask for Lloyd Austin?” Coons claimed that Austin not do anything that put United States national security at risk by getting health care treatment despite not notifying anyone about his hospitalization and surgery for cancer. “What about Afghanistan? What about Afghanistan?” Kernen pressed. “Did you guys forget that? Is the statute of limitations is over for 4 years?” Coons ignored the question and instead continued to talk about Austin’s surgery for cancer. Kernen continued to press Coons about Afghanistan, noting that in the past, he had referred to Biden’s disastrous withdraw as a success. “Afghanistan was not a success,” Kernen said. Coons continued to deflect by starting to talk about the Houthis. “I am not saying that the attack on the Houthis was not a success,” Coons said. “I am saying that he demonstrably violated a directive that was just shared in the Pentagon about don’t use Signal for classified information, it is not reliably secure. And one of the folks on that group chat was in Russia at the time that that information being — look, all of us use apps like WhatsApp and Signal.” Kernen called out Coons for deflecting: “You’re running out the clock on Afghanistan.” Coons then proceeded to blame President Donald Trump for Biden’s disaster, even though he admitted that actions that were taken under Biden’s leadership were “badly handled.” When asked if he should have called for Austin to resign over the debacle, Coons responded: “I don’t know whether Lloyd Austin is the person who should have been held accountable for it, but there should have been accountability.” WATCH: Joe Kernen destroys Senator Chris Coons over the Signal hoax: “Did you call for Lloyd Austin’s resignation?

We have now established, about a million different ways, that Democrats have no intention of learning anything substantive from their defeat in November. First there was the disastrous meeting to select new leadership at the DNC, which resembled a bad “American Idol” audition more than anything else. The various non-binary and BIPOC candidates spent all of their time singing and complaining about how oppressed they are, instead of reflecting in any way on how they just lost the election. Then Democrats encouraged a domestic terror campaign against Tesla, which is obviously a surefire way to demonstrate your commitment to a stable, functioning democracy. And on top of that, Democrats also decided to go to federal court on behalf of Venezuelan terrorists who had just been deported, because as we all know, that’s what swing voters are really passionate about. It would be a pretty significant understatement to say that this is not a winning strategy for the next election. To any objective observer, Democrats are acting like a party that badly wants to go extinct. But of course, Democrats have no intention of going extinct. Their sole purpose is obtaining as much power as possible. So it’s worth asking — as we watch Democrats double down on every single one of their policy positions from the last election cycle — what exactly their plan is, going forward. If they don’t intend to appeal to voters, what are they going to do? How are they going to regain power? Recently the Democrats’ leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), answered that question. Because Hakeem Jeffries is one of those people who’s simply too dumb to keep a secret, we have this footage that makes one thing very clear: Democrats do not intend to persuade voters based on ideas or policies or anything like that. That’s not a major part of their strategy. Instead, Democrats intend to change the rules. That is the winning strategy they’ve settled on. Specifically, they’re going all-in on a supreme court race that’s taking place on Tuesday in Wisconsin. If Democrats win the race, they’ll retain control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And then, Democrats intend to use the Wisconsin Supreme Court to redraw congressional districts in the state so that more Democrats are elected, which (if successful) could ultimately swing control of the House of Representatives to the Democrat Party. So this is a state-wide race that will have major implications for the entire country. Watch Hakeem Jeffries explain. That’s one of the creepier uses of the word “enlightened” you’ll ever hear. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin needs to be “enlightened,” says Hakeem Jeffries. And by that he means, the Supreme Court should be composed of Left-wing operatives who will do everything in their power to benefit the Democrat Party. This is how Democrats think about judges in every context. Republicans select judges who will be “faithful to the law,” supposedly, which inevitably means that they routinely betray conservative principles and vote with Democrats half the time. Democrats, on the other hand, select judges who vote in lockstep with their party. That’s what they’ve done in the U.S. Supreme Court. And it’s what they’re doing in Wisconsin, as well. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show If you’re confused about exactly what Jeffries is talking about, I’ll try to explain the general idea. Democrats are claiming that Republicans have gerrymandered Wisconsin’s congressional districts, by drawing the districts in an artificial way so that Democrats are only capable of winning two districts out of eight total in the state. In other words, they’re saying that the districts are currently drawn so that all of the Democrat voters are jammed into two districts. And now Democrats are promising to use the Supreme Court to redraw those districts, in such a way as to guarantee that Democrat voters are spread across more districts. In the end, the goal is to seat more Democrats in the House of Representatives, and unseat Mike Johnson (R-LA) and the Republicans from power. One of the many problems here is that Wisconsin’s congressional districts, as they stand right now, are completely reasonable. There is no reason to redraw them, unless you’re trying to find some artificial way to get more Democrats in office. Here’s an image of what the districts look like at the moment: Wikimedia Commons. As you can see, the Milwaukee and Madison areas, in the southern portion of the state, each have their own district. And those are the two congressional districts that Democrats control at the moment — Districts 2 and 4. If you compare that district map to the results in Wisconsin from the last presidential election, you’ll immediately notice the problems that Democrats have. Take a look at this: Wikimedia Commons.   As you can see, the overwhelming number of counties in the state are Republican. Pretty much all of them voted for Trump. Democrats’ strongest base of support in Wisconsin is in the southern portion of the state by far — in places like Milwaukee and Madison. Those are the urban centers, so that makes sense. This is why Republicans have control of six out of the eight districts in Wisconsin, even though Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in Wisconsin by less than 1%. The Democrat voters happen to be extremely concentrated in these two places, and each of these two places is represented by a distinct congressional district. In order to accomplish the results that Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries want — which is something like a 50-50 split in the congressional districts — you’d need to start carving up Districts 2 and 4. There’s simply no other way to do it, given that the rest of the state is reliably conservative. That’s what Democrats will have the Wisconsin Supreme Court do, if they win the election on Tuesday. Milwaukee and Madison would be divided in various illogical and arbitrary ways. But this isn’t how congressional districts are supposed to work. Congressional districts aren’t supposed to be drawn so that they produce the same results as statewide elections. They’re supposed to be drawn to give a voice to the specific needs of various districts — including rural areas, which don’t have a lot in common with cities like Milwaukee. It’s a similar reason why we have the Electoral College (which of course, Democrats are also trying to abolish). We want congressional districts to reflect the unique nature of a particular area. That’s the whole point of them. But for many years now, Democrats in Wisconsin have attempted to use redistricting for a very different purpose. And they’ve been having a lot of success. In late 2023, Democrats in Wisconsin installed a judge on the state supreme court who had openly campaigned on the platform of redrawing the state’s electoral maps for state and local elections. This is apparently the kind of thing that judges do in Wisconsin; they tell voters how they’ll decide cases, once they become a judge. That judge won, and indeed, the maps for state-level elections were ultimately redrawn. And the results were immediate. In the November election — which, again, Donald Trump won in Wisconsin — Democrats flipped 14 state Senate and Assembly seats in Wisconsin. Yes, in an election where the Republican candidate for president was victorious in the state-wide vote in Wisconsin, Republicans nevertheless suffered major losses in the state government. And without any irony whatsoever, Democrats celebrated this outcome as a major victory for democracy. And now that they’ve rigged the state-wide districts, Democrats are taking aim at Wisconsin’s federal congressional districts, so that they can retake the House and obstruct Donald Trump in Congress. It’s not just Hakeem Jeffries who’s admitting this. I watched a little bit of the debate between Brad Schimel, the Republican candidate for this Supreme Court seat, and Susan Crawford, the Democrat candidate. It turns out that Crawford received an email invitation for an event about how she can help Democrats gain two seats in the House of Representatives. And then she attended the event via Zoom. Watch how she tried to explain this: This is the level of corruption and shamelessness that Democrats are bringing to this race. Their candidate for the Wisconsin supreme court gets caught attending a planning session for how she’s going to use her position — as a supposedly nonpartisan judge who follows the law — to help Democrats in the House. And then she lies about it during a televised debate. And somehow, she’s ahead in the polls. I watched some more of this debate, and she rattles off the usual lies about abortion, and how important it is for women to be able to murder their children for any reason. Then she lies about “heartbeat bills” and so on. She is, in every respect, an atrocious candidate. She is acting exactly like a generic Democrat partisan operative, because that’s exactly what she is. Republicans simply should not lose this race. But at the moment, roughly 95% of Kamala Harris voters are backing Crawford, while only around 87% of Trump voters are supporting Schimel. That needs to change between now and Tuesday, or else Crawford will win. And that could potentially be a disaster for Republicans at the national level, at least in the short term. It’s worth ending on a note of optimism here. Regardless of what happens in Wisconsin, it looks like Democrats’ representation in the House of Representatives is going to decline significantly by 2030, when the next Census kicks in. thearp.org That’s because, as this map demonstrates, people are leaving states like California, New York and Illinois. And they’re flooding into states like Texas and Florida. Democrats have forced millions of people to leave the states they’ve mismanaged. And that affects representation in the House, which is based on population — whether those residents are legal or illegal. On balance, that likely means that Republicans will pick up around 12 seats in the House by 2030. That’s more than three times the size of the GOP’s current majority. And because the Trump administration is sharply cutting down on the number of illegal aliens in this country, it’s going to be difficult for Democrats to compensate by flooding the zone with foreign nationals. In other words, the broader indicators for conservatives are very strong right now. Democrats are doubling down on their most insane and alienating positions. And they’re resorting to gerrymandering, and promoting judges who are obviously corrupt, in an attempt to claw back a couple of House seats. But whether Democrats win those seats or not, the fact remains that Democrats’ constituency is shrinking by the day. That’s also why they lost the popular vote in the last election, to their great shock and horror. No matter how much lawfare these people engage in, it remains true that, in this country, voters — not judges — have the power. What we’re seeing is that Democrats — both in Wisconsin and in Washington — apparently believe otherwise. They think judges get to run the executive branch, just like they think judges get to award Democrats another two seats in the House of Representatives. But on Tuesday, with the entire country watching, voters in the state of Wisconsin have an opportunity to prove them wrong. For the sake of the rule of law in this country, and for the Republicans’ control of the House, let’s hope they do so.

There’s good news from the royal family. King Charles is out of the hospital following a surprise visit on March 27. The king reportedly suffered a reaction to his chemotherapy treatment, requiring a brief hospitalization. A day later, photographers captured a glimpse of King Charles looking well despite the side effects caused by his cancer treatment. Chris Ship shared on X, “After his sudden hospital visit yesterday, King Charles has just left Clarence House. He was seen in the back of the first car, with the window slightly down so people could see who it was. He’s heading out of London for the weekend.” NEW: After his sudden hospital visit yesterday, King Charles has just left Clarence House .

The king went to the hospital for an enlarged prostate procedure, and during his stay, doctors identified a separate form of cancer. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.” “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” the palace added. On March 27, Buckingham Palace released a statement from King Charles to the media, but not about cancer. Inseated, he remarked about his gratitude to those covering the news. It said in part, “You won’t always get it right. A free media is one that will and does make mistakes. But at its best, it is a cornerstone of our democracy. I know how commercial pressures and changing technologies have had a significant impact on your industry. But as the media landscape has changed, so too many of you have adapted and innovated, finding ways of sharing your journalism and engaging audiences in new and creative ways. It is in everyone’s interests that you should succeed. For without a thriving and financially robust regional media, we would all be the poorer.” You can find this story’s featured image here.
