On April 29, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump and the First Lady Welcome King Charles III and Queen Camilla for State Visit Honoring 250 Years of Shared Heritage recognizing that this is the 1st state visit by a British monarch in nearly 2 decades. The visit began with the arrival ceremony (discussed in my April 28, 2026 ANP Article). The President and the King held substantive bilateral discussions. The King also attended a special session of Congress in which he made a well-received speech (even the "no kings protests" Democrats gave the King a 3-minute standing ovation). A state dinner (discussed in my April 29, 2026 ANP Article) finished the day highlighting the enduring cultural, historical, and strategic partnership between the US and the UK. The King and his entourage will depart for the UK on the morning of April 30, 2026.
On April 29, 2026, President Trump participated in a greeting with the Artemis II astronauts. President Trump promised the astronauts a visit to the White House after their safe return from space (discussed in my April 8, 2026 ANP Article). Well, they landed safely (discussed in my April 11, 2026 ANP Article liftoff was discussed in my April 2, 2026 ANP Article). We all know how President Trump feels about "promises made" and he kept the promise today with the astronauts and their families arriving at the White House and being greeted in the Oval Office.
After congratulating the astronauts on a job well done, and giving the press attending the gathering an opportunity to ask questions, the press, as usual gravitated away from the astronauts choosing instead to ask President Trump about Iran, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and other topics. President Trump deftly returned their attention to the astronauts in most cases.
On April 29, 2026, Day 74 of the Democrat's Partial Federal Government Shutdown, the House passed SCR33 to fund the government through 2035. Not sure what happens with it next. Does it go to the President now or does it have to go back to the Senate because amendments were made? I am woefully ignorant of the games the anti-American politicians in Congress play.
Neither part of Congress has done anything with the SAVE America Act - or any of the other EOs We The People want to see made into law.
The Senate convened at noon and adjourned at 7:07pm. They will reconvene at 10am on April 30, 2026. They voted on 3 bills, passing 1 of them:

On April 29, 2026, the White House published the statement America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the First Landing and the Raising of the Cape Henry Cross (last year this was announced as Proclamation 10926 discussed in my April 30, 2025 ANP Article). On April 26, 1607, a group of 104 adventurers, explores, and settlers landed at Cape Henry, completing a daring voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The President writes:
Commissioned by King James I and the Virginia Company of London, they were guided by a noble mission: to extend Christendom’s dominion in the New World, secure their prosperity, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Three days later, they erected a cross on the Chesapeake shore in an act of reverence and devotion to their religion. Reverend Robert Hunt led the prayer upon fixing the cross into the ground. The group then traveled west, establishing Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New World where they would face drought, starvation, and disease. In their survival, America's character was forged. Less than 200 years later, the descendants of this group, and others who joined the cause, founded our Nation on July 4, 1776. President Trump writes:
Today, a granite cross stands in the place of the First Landing in honor of the resilience and heroic Christian witness of the Jamestown settlers. More than 4 centuries later—as we celebrate 250 years of glorious American independence—we follow their example, echo their resolve, and commit to restoring a Nation that honors our rich spiritual inheritance, advances the common good, and offers rightful praise to our Creator above.
On April 30, 1789, George Washington (discussed in my February 10, 2026 ANP Article) was sworn in as the first President of the Union on Wall Street in Manhattan in New York City. Robert Livingston, Chancellor of New York, administered the oath.
In 1739, David joined the colonial militia as a lieutenant. In 1741, he became the lieutenant of the Defense, the first warship built in Connecticut. In 1742, he was promoted to captain. In 1745, he was a Captain during the Siege of Louisbourg during the War of Jenkins' Ear. In July 1745, he sailed to France for a prisoner exchange. On September 24, 1745, he was commissioned as Captain in the garrison at Louisbourg.
In 1748, he retired when the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle returned Louisbourg to the French. In 1750, he helped organize one of the first Masonic lodges in Connecticut. In 1755, David fought in the French and Indian War. He was promoted to colonel of the 3rd Connecticut Regiment. In 1758, his regiment fought at the Battle of Carillon. In 1759, he participated in the successful capture of Fort Ticonderoga. He retired in 1761. In 1763, he became a Customs Collector for New Haven.
By April, 1775, David was in charge of the militia at New Haven, Connecticut. He had tried to deny Benedict Arnold access to his militia's supply house; but, Benedict's threats were persuasive and David gave in, marking the entry of New Haven into the American Revolution. This would become known as Powder House Day. When he was 65, David was the oldest American general in the Revolutionary War (he was 22 years older than George Washington).
On April 25, 1777, David was in charge of a small detachment whose job it was to harry the rear of the British troops. The first attack surprised the British general. As they neared Ridgefield, David's 2nd attack did not fare as well. David was mortally wounded, having been shot through the spine, and taken off the battlefield to Dibble House. This battle is seen as the turning point of the Revolutionary War.
David died May 2, 1777 at age 66, at Dibble House in Danbury, Connecticut. David was insolvent at the time of his death, having used his personal funds to pay his troops. The destruction of records by the British made it impossible for the family to provide receipts in order to reclaim the money David spent. In addition, the family received no pension due to lack of records. He is interred at Wooster Cemetery, in Section C, above the old receiving vault, Danbury, Connecticut. The cemetery was renamed for him when he was reinterred.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
