Plus: record US oil exports while the Iran war chokes the Strait of Hormuz, Tennessee wipes out its only blue district, Geert Wilders warns Europe is running out of time, Texas AG opens a Ten Commandments compliance probe, and a CBP arrest sweep on the San Diego docks puts a household-name cruise brand back in the headlines, all in today's episode.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives just got a director who hunts, owns AR-15s, and told Breitbart that "ATF is in your corner" for law-abiding gun owners. Robert Cekada was sworn in Monday after 21 years inside the agency he now leads. The implications for the Second Amendment community, and for the bureau itself, are immediate. Chuck Frank breaks down what this hire actually means.
That's not the only earthquake. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported a record $320.9 billion in US exports for March on the back of 6.43 million barrels per day of crude flowing out of the Gulf Coast, while the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down and the Iran war stretches into its 10th week. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a redistricting bill Thursday that splits Memphis into three congressional seats heading into the midterms. Geert Wilders publishes a stark warning in Breitbart about the demographic and political trajectory of Europe. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opens an investigation into school district compliance with the Ten Commandments and prayer-time laws. And US Customs and Border Protection wraps a 28-arrest enforcement sweep across five cruise ships docked in San Diego between April 23 and 25.
Dear God in heaven, what a week. The remnant must stand. Truth starts now.
