Trump Fires AG Bondi. Possible Reason: Leak to Eric Swalwell About Fang Fang Files.
by R. Cort Kirkwood April 2, 2026
It seems that the young beauties with whom President Donald Trump surrounded himself are falling one by one.
First, Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and now, Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi is out; Lee Zeldin, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency is in. Or so sources say.
Some might believe Trump canned Bondi because she fouled up on the Epstein files. But the Daily Mail reported today that she has a friendship with Trump enemy Eric Swalwell, the far-left Democratic representative from California, and tipped off Swalwell that the FBI was gathering a cache of documents about his relationship with suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang, known as Fang Fang.
On that note, Swalwell sent a cease-and-desist letter to FBI chieftain Kash Patel, The Associated Press reported, to stop the release of any such file. Read more: https://thenewamerican.com/us/politics/trump-fires-ag-bondi-possible-reason-leak-to-eric-swalwell-about-fang-fang-files/

Citizenship for Sale: FAIR Exposes How a Constitutional Loophole Fuels a
Multi-Billion-Dollar Birth Tourism Industry
Releases Timely Analysis of Yesterday’s Oral Arguments in Trump v. Barbara
WASHINGTON—The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has released an Investigative Note, Citizenship for Sale: The Birth Tourism Industry Built on a Constitutional Loophole. The publication reveals how the “conventional” misreading of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause has turned American citizenship into a literal commodity for sale—powering a sophisticated, multi-billion-dollar international birth tourism industry of maternity hotels, baby farms, visa fraud rings, and surrogacy brokers.
The Note details how foreign nationals from around the globe deliberately travel to the United States on tourist visas (often obtained through fraud) to give birth and secure automatic U.S. citizenship for their children. The industry has exploded into a coordinated global enterprise, with roughly 33,000 tourist-visa births per year and more than 70,000 total foreign births annually. The consequences are severe: nearly 1.5 million U.S.-citizen children raised overseas with primary loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, an explosion of chain migration, and more than $150 billion in annual net costs shifted onto American taxpayers.
Yesterday’s oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara brought this crisis into sharp focus. FAIR’s Investigative Note delivers the first comprehensive post-argument analysis available to the public. It shows how the justices directly confronted the birth tourism industry—including Solicitor General John Sauer’s warning that “8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S. citizen,” and Chief Justice John Roberts’ pointed reply: “Well, it’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”
“The Supreme Court now has a historic chance to close the loophole that has commodified American citizenship,” said Dale Wilcox, FAIR’s executive director and general counsel. “Birth tourism is not a victimless side effect—it is a direct threat to our national security, our immigration system, and the integrity of the 14th Amendment. The Court must restore the original meaning and shut down this insidious industry once and for all.”
“Our report lays bare the mechanics, scale, and devastating costs of birth tourism—from luxury maternity hotels in California and Florida, to backdoor operations in the Northern Mariana Islands,” said Mateo Forero, FAIR’s director of investigations. “The supposedly conventional understanding of the 14th Amendment has turned a Reconstruction-era safeguard into a citizenship vending machine for foreign elites and adversaries. Yesterday’s arguments made clear what’s at stake: either the Court corrects this distortion or the American people continue to pay the price.”

6:35 Dr. Jeremy Liff is a board-certified neurologist specializing in stroke, brain aneurysms, and venous outflow conditions, with expertise in medical and catheter-based treatments.
Dr. Liff discusses studies indicating heavy consumption of energy drinks may raise the risk of heart disease and pose a serious risk of stroke, doctors have warned.
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, energy drinks (which typically contain more than 150mg of caffeine per litre, very high glucose-based sugar content and varying quantities of other chemicals) are the most popular dietary supplement consumed by American teens and young adults after multivitamins, and almost one third of teens between 12 and 17 drink them regularly.
However, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, even a single energy drink can cause abnormal changes in heart rhythm and elevate blood pressure in healthy young adults. In December 2025, a case published in BMJ Case Reports documented a healthy man in his 50s who suffered a stroke after heavy energy drink consumption.

Poll: The battle for MAHA that could sway the midterms
The “Make America Healthy Again” movement entered 2024 with real energy—and helped expand the Republican coalition.
But new data shows that momentum is fading fast.
A recent Politico poll highlights a growing disconnect between the movement’s promise and public perception:
- Only 47% of Americans support MAHA
- Just one-third can clearly explain what it is
- Even 41% of Trump voters say not enough has been done to deliver on it
So what happened?

6:35 Mike O’Neill joins me from Landmark Legal Foundation www.LandmarkLegal.org
Michael O’Neill’s explanation below of Trump v Barbara, which may prove to be a landmark decision on birthright citizenship. One of President Trump’s first acts in office was to sign an executive order on birthright citizenship, which has been challenged.
On Wednesday, April 1, the Supreme Court will consider challenges to President Donald Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship for children born to mothers in the U.S. without authorization. This has the makings to be this term’s most dramatic case.
The central constitutional issue is the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which grants citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The Trump administration argues that children born to undocumented immigrants or to parents with only temporary lawful status are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States in the constitutional sense, relying on historical interpretations of allegiance and jurisdiction.
Originalist legal scholars are divided on the constitutional question. Some argue that the 14th Amendment’s original meaning excludes children of illegal aliens or temporary visa holders from birthright citizenship. Others maintain that birthright citizenship extends to nearly all persons born on U.S. soil, or that the Court should decide the matter on statutory grounds, thus avoiding the constitutional question altogether.
Those challenging the executive order contend that long‑standing precedent and historical practice establish near‑universal jus soli (citizenship by birthplace), with only narrow exceptions for children of diplomats or enemy occupiers.
They rely heavily on United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), in which the Supreme Court held that a child born in the United States to non‑citizen parents was a U.S. citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The case also raises separation‑of‑powers concerns, including whether the president has authority to redefine citizenship through executive action without congressional amendment or constitutional change.
Look for the Justices to tackle all of these issues on Wednesday morning.

6:35 Dr. Stanley Goldfarb – www.DoNoHarmMedicine.org Chair
Following up here on the news that the largest medical school accreditor in the nation, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), dropped its DEI requirements. Dr. Stanley Goldfarb argues in a Fox News op-ed that this is America’s biggest victory against medical DEI yet.
What’s next: Now that LCME has stopped forcing DEI, the question remains: will medical schools keep DEI or drop it?
This follows Goldfarb’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last month, urging the Trump administration to break the LCME’s accrediting monopoly by creating an alternative accreditor. Today, he reaffirms that proposal because the LCME could reverse course the moment President Trump leaves office.
Background:
- Last week, Do No Harm discovered that the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the biggest medical school accreditor, had quietly removed the remaining DEI requirements (section 7.6) from its latest standards for medical schools. Do No Harm tipped off the Wall Street Journal, which broke the news on Monday.
- In March 2025, Do No Harm released a report documenting how accreditors require DEI in healthcare education. The report specifically highlighted the LCME’s standards 3.3 and 7.6.
- In April 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order, “Reforming Accreditation To Strengthen Higher Education,” which mentioned the LCME by name.
- In May 2025, the LCME removed Standard 3.3, which required medical schools to have “programs and/or partnerships” aimed at achieving diversity. That standard was removed entirely from current and future standards; however, section 7.6 has remained in place until now.
In a major shift from its previous DEI activism, the biggest medical school accreditor in the nation has removed the remaining DEI requirements from its latest standards for medical schools, the Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board reported last night: “A Welcome Setback for Medical DEI.”

Sid DeBoer and Lithia Motors
By Dennis Powers
Lithia Motors began as a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership in Ashland, Oregon, when Walt DeBoer started the business in 1946. It was located in Ashland’s downtown Plaza, named after the town’s Lithia Springs, and a grand total of 14 cars were sold in its first year. Walt died tragically when struck by a car in 1968, and his 25-year-old son, Sid, took over running the operation. He then purchased it from his mother for $60,000.
Two years later, Dick Heimann joined Lithia after three years as a district manager for Chrysler Corporation. Working together, the two increased the business by the 1990s to 5 stores and 19 franchises (allowing dealers to sell more than one brand at the same location) in Southern Oregon. Lithia was providing parts and maintenance, repairs, finance, and warranty-credit insurance services.
Sid DeBoer had been thinking over a bigger, different strategy: He would buy car dealerships in rural communities and the smaller towns he was familiar with, and then increase their sales with the techniques he well knew. Using his existing base of five dealerships in Medford and Grants Pass, he could reach northward into Washington and southward into California, then diversify west as opportunities arose. Sid decided he would use the proceeds of an equity offering, not unpredictable bank debt. This way, he had quick funds for expansion and could lessen the problems of economic downturns.
DeBoer headed to Wall Street in 1996 with his plan and confidence. He needed this, as no one knew him: Lithia was then about the 500th largest car dealer in the country. After tireless work, he and Dick Heimann convinced the investment banking firm of Furman Selz to underwrite a public offering. In December, Lithia Motor’s offering raised $25 million for these expansion plans, and the stock began trading at $11 per share on NASDAQ. They started looking for dealerships to buy in small to medium markets with agricultural or rural ties, hometowns like Medford was.
Moving primarily through the West, Lithia grew to 30 dealerships by 1998. A network of brokers, old friends, or dealers themselves brought dealerships to Lithia’s attention. The management team then analyzed what the specific problems were for that site: for example, lack of professionalism, poor management, or store layout. If it could be fixed, the site was a potential acquisition. Lithia’s success was in its ability to bring an acquisition into sync with its other dealerships and practices, including detailed cost accounting, use of promotional pricing, and quickly changing promotions.
By the year 2000, Lithia’s dealerships were 40; ten years after the public offering, the company had 94 car dealerships in 13 states. The company was the eighth-largest car dealer in the county (of the top 125 U.S. ones) and closing in on $3 billion in annual sales. The wisdom of relying on equity, not debt, was seen when the continued, great recession of 2008 hit. Although Lithia needed to trim non-performing dealerships, its balance sheet and operations were safe.
Sid’s son, Bryan DeBoer, with years of experience at Lithia is its President and CEO, while Sid is the Founder and Chairman of the Board. In 2013, Lithia exceeded $1 billion in sales for its second quarter and headed to $4 billion in annual sales overall; by the end of 2025, it had annual revenues of near $38 billion with earnings of $825 million. Lithia had 455 stores representing 54 brands of new and used vehicles across the U.S., U.K. and Canada, with its growth coming from acquisitions and “one of the best management teams in the business.” Its sales were from: “New Vehicle Sales (50%), Used Vehicle Sales (36%), Aftersales (11%), and Finance & Insurance (3%).”
Over time, Sid and Karen DeBoer with their family have been substantial philanthropists to Southern Oregon nonprofits, including guidance given on a variety of boards of directors–which we salute! The Sid and Karen DeBoer Foundation by itself supports youth-mentoring programs, hospitals, the arts, cancer research, and universities, among other worthy causes. Lithia Motors is now a Fortune 500™ company and America’s largest automotive retailers. Not bad, for starting out with 5 stores some 35 years ago—and it’s still headquartered in Medford.
