Shapiro acknowledges Haiti's grim reality head-on: 5,500 murders a year, rampant sex trafficking, gang control, anarchic conditions. Trump calling it a 'bleep-hole country' is offensive in tone but not factually wrong, he argues. The legal drama centers on whether the termination of Haiti's TPS designation violates equal protection — i.e., was it racist? Justice Alito's majority opinion in the second 6-3 ruling dismisses this by pointing to the administration's own stated rationale: they're terminating every TPS designation that comes up for renewal, regardless of country. That race-neutral explanation defeats the equal protection claim. And regardless, the statute says there is 'no judicial review' of TPS termination decisions — so even if there were discriminatory animus, courts have no power to second-guess it.
Haiti recorded 5,500 murders in a single year, making it the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere by a wide margin, according to Ben Shapiro.
Haitian TPS holders grew from 50,000–70,000 in 2010 to 330,000–350,000 by 2026 — a roughly fivefold increase in 16 years, per USCIS and the Congressional Research Service.
Tom Homan has been in immigration enforcement since 1984 and says flatly that TPS has never been enforced as temporary — until now. Every previous administration lacked the political will. The statute was always clear: when a country stabilizes, people go home. Trump is the first president to actually follow the law.
A total of 8 states have filed lawsuits against social media platforms, including an ongoing case in Tennessee, using product liability and public nuisance theories to seek accountability.
France built 56 nuclear plants in the 1970s and now has the cheapest energy in Europe, making it independent of Russian or Middle Eastern energy geopolitics.
Estonia has a single tax form, a law preventing the government from asking citizens for the same information twice, and a flat rate of tax — enabling competitive taxation.
Portugal's Lisbon, once a city with a major heroin problem, legalised drugs and redirected enforcement spending into rehabilitation and housing, dramatically reducing crime.
The first Boland Amendment banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras passed the House unanimously — yet the Reagan administration ignored it.
Over just two years, Saudi Arabia alone donated $32 million to the Contra rebels, giving loosely affiliated factions millions they had no way to spend on arms.
The National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty raised $6.3 million for the Contras but only $3.3 million reached them — a shockingly low 52% program expense rate.
Richard Secord and Albert Hakim marked up their arms shipments to the Contras by as much as 300%, making enormous personal profits from the covert operation.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, tapped to run the entire covert Contra support operation, had no prior experience in covert operations whatsoever — he was learning as he went.
