A Texas man who allegedly threatened to kill ICE agents and harm Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in social media posts was ordered to remain in jail Wednesday, authorities said.

Robert King, 35, faced a detention hearing in Dallas where U.S. Magistrate Judge Renee Toliver ruled he must stay locked up on charges of transmitting interstate threats. Toliver cited King as a flight risk and danger to the community, despite his attorney’s claims of no prior charges or weapons possession.

Federal prosecutors say King posted on Facebook, urging people to “shoot them and kill them” if ICE agents appeared in their neighborhoods, calling them a “secret police force with no real legal authority.” In another post, he wrote of Noem, “I truly hope, and I mean this with all my heart, that Kristi Noem meets a horrible and agonizing demise.” Days later, he doubled down, saying, “No mercy for the Gestapo.”

The threats, reported via the FBI tip line, came while King lived with his sister and brother-in-law, a police officer and former Customs and Border Protection agent. His attorney argued King sought mental health treatment for depression and suicidal thoughts, requesting a transfer from Kaufman County detention for better care.

King, arrested March 29 in McKinney, Texas, wept as he left the courtroom. The ruling aligns with Noem’s stance: “If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer, we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”

Trans Activist FURIOUS after being excluded from GAY NUDIST campground and RV park

Transgender activists are decrying a male-only policy at Camp Boomerang, a private gay nudist campground in Michigan, calling it exclusionary and transphobic.

The controversy erupted after camp co-founder Bryan Quinn outlined the membership rules on social media, stating that Camp Boomerang is for “guys” only—defined as individuals with a penis, presenting as male, and holding a state-issued ID marked “male.” Quinn defended the policy, saying, “We understand this statement, unfortunately, may not make everyone happy, but feel it needs to be clarified,” emphasizing the camp’s status as a private entity.

Activists swiftly condemned the decision. One X user urged a boycott, writing, “Please DO NOT support Camp Boomerang RV Park & Campground,” labeling the rules “transphobic and disgusting.” Another criticized the camp’s “lack of empathy and understanding for Trans Men,” arguing it undermines community solidarity.

The backlash highlights tensions within the broader LGBTQ+ community over gender identity and exclusion. Camp Boomerang, set to open next year, has not wavered, with Quinn previously noting, “If you don’t like the rules, quietly leave.” The camp bans all biological women, not just transgender men, fueling further debate.

Supporters of the policy argue it preserves the camp’s intended purpose as a space for gay men. Critics, however, see it as a step backward in the fight for inclusivity.

Trump wins AGAIN as Inflation FALLS as “Tarifflation” fails to happen

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has identified millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for nonexistent individuals, according to a report released Thursday.

The findings spotlight what DOGE calls a lack of oversight in federal unemployment insurance programs. “There was no sanity check for impossibly young or impossibly old people for unemployment insurance,” a DOGE spokesperson said, pointing to claims filed for infants and centenarians as evidence of systemic flaws.

DOGE, established by President Donald Trump via executive order in January, aims to eliminate government waste and fraud. The report claims the fraudulent payments, amounting to an unspecified “millions,” stem from inadequate verification processes across multiple agencies. “This is just the tip of the iceberg,” the spokesperson added, hinting at broader investigations into federal spending.

Critics, however, question DOGE’s methods and transparency. The initiative, operating with limited congressional oversight, has sparked debate over its aggressive cost-cutting tactics, which include mass layoffs and contract terminations. Supporters argue it’s a necessary shake-up, with Musk framing DOGE as a tech-driven solution to bureaucratic inefficiency.

The report follows DOGE’s earlier claims of saving billions, though some figures have been revised downward after scrutiny. As of April 10, 2025, the unemployment findings add fuel to the ongoing clash between DOGE’s mission and those wary of its unchecked power.

Trump wins AGAIN as Inflation FALLS as “Tarifflation” fails to happen

U.S. consumer prices fell in March, defying predictions that President Donald Trump’s tariff policies would drive up costs, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) dipped 0.1%, marking the first decline in nearly three years and only the second since Trump took office in January 2025.

Economists had warned that Trump’s tariffs, including a 25% levy on Canada and Mexico and a 125% hike on China, would spark “tarifflation.” Yet, prices for goods dropped 0.4%, offsetting a 0.2% rise in services. “Tariffs rearrange prices within the economy; they do not cause a broad, sustained rise in prices,” said White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, echoing his long-held view that inflation stems from monetary policy, not trade measures.

The unexpected drop follows a 90-day tariff pause for most countries, announced days earlier, while China faces heightened duties. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it a sign of “global confidence” in Trump’s strategy, noting strong demand at a recent U.S. Treasury auction. Critics, however, remain skeptical. “This is a temporary blip,” said economist Paul Krugman, predicting future price hikes.

Annual inflation slowed to 2.6% from 2.8% in February, aligning with the Federal Reserve’s target range. Consumers saw relief in household goods, with television prices falling 12% year-over-year. Still, some economists caution that sustained tariff effects may emerge later, challenging the administration’s “promises made, promises kept” narrative. For now, the data bolsters Trump’s claim of delivering economic stability.
