Sen. John Fetterman (D., NJ) today denounced the call to pack the Supreme Court from pundits like James Carville. It is an increasingly rare example of political courage. The question is where are the other Democratic members who claim to be moderates in Congress. Just crickets. ~ Jonthan Turley Jonathan Turley warns that various Democrats have been openly discussing their plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose power again. James Carville says they will make D.C. and Puerto Rico states and pack the Supreme Court with a liberal majority. On his podcast with Al Hunt, Carville explained, “If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F— it. Eat our dust.” While some of us have written about the expansion of the Court, these politicians and pundits are pushing for the Court’s packing, not just gradual expansion. However, Carville seriously suggested that Democrats should keep the plan quiet: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.” They have threatened it for years, and our Republicans won’t do a thing about it. Maybe Democrats are blackmailing them.

If Democrats get back in, they’ll tax it into non-existence. James Carville: “It’s time to pack the Supreme Court if Democrats win in 2026.” What’s Dennis’ response to packing the Supreme Court?

According to leftist Pramila Jayapal, the “USA was built by Somalis, Indians, Latinos, Africans.” Uhhh, nope. It was mostly built by Europeans. It’s not demeaning to tell the truth about the building of America, but it’s anti-American to lie as she just did. It’s a rewriting of history worthy of Stalin. Rep.

As we reported, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) opened fire on two ships trying to transit the Strait. The people on the India-flagged ship desperately begged Iran to stop firing on them. The Sanmar Herald said they had been given clearance, but were still fired upon. “Sepah Navy! Motor Tanker Sanmar Herald! Sanmar Herald! Sepah Navy! You gave me clearance! You gave me clearance to go! Sepah Navy! Sepah Navy! This is motor tanker, Sanmar Herald! You gave me clearance to go! My name’s second on your list! You gave me clearance to go! You are firing now!

The IRGC didn’t like Araghchi’s tweet confirming it. The parliament Speaker, Mohammad Ghalibaf, immediately reneged on opening the Strait and said they would never negotiate with the U.S. Now they will pay for it. The U.S. military is preparing in the coming days to board Iran-linked oil tankers and seize commercial ships in international waters, according to U.S. officials, expanding its naval crackdown in any sea.

Construction of the border wall in New Mexico is actively underway, with federal waivers expediting projects along more than 100 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, including new secondary barriers and infrastructure. According to Yahoo News, the U.S. federal government has filed condemnation paperwork to seize a 7-acre parcel of New Mexico state trust land along the southern border, the State Land Office said. The property, granted to the state in 1898 to help fund New Mexico schools, is located near the Santa Teresa border crossing. In March 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection offered to buy the land for about $800,000, citing the need for it to support new border infrastructure—including a steel bollard border barrier, detection technology, and roads. The Department of Justice’s attorney noted that similar discussions had occurred years earlier, but no sale was reached. Now, they’ll just take it. The wall will finally be built. before President Trump leaves office. Then, as soon as Democrats get back in, they’ll let it fall into disrepair or just open the gates again. That could change if the president is able to fulfill his agenda. BREAKING: The U.S. government is about to SEIZE border land in New Mexico to have the Wall built on it! This coming after that state’s leadership Refused to allow it to be bought. The U.S. government filed condemnation paperwork today, and the wall WILL be constructed there!… pic.twitter.com/LTdthA0pjX — Jeff Rainforth (@liberty_clarion) April 18, 2026 The post The US Will Seize State Land to Continue Building the Wall appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Democrat Chris Murphy went abroad and slandered President Trump as a tyrant. He said, “Want to bring you greetings as well from a nation that is in crisis…this is the most significant threat to American democracy since the Civil War.” He should have substituted “communism” for “democracy.” Murphy left his wife and children for a woman who founded one of the Soros family websites. Murphy is a disgrace. As Democrats try to turn us into a one-party hellhole, they accuse Donald Trump of totalitarianism. It is called projection.
