A Latin street gang in Chicago is reportedly telling its members to shoot federal immigration officers on sight, escalating the already highly dangerous and volatile situation in Chicago. When you’re on the side of gang criminals, you’re probably in the wrong. Then again, leftists never met a murderous criminal whom they didn’t like. The Latin Kings gang is putting out hits on all Border Patrol agents participating in Operation Midway Blitz, which has rounded up hundreds of illegal alien criminals. That’s probably cutting into the gang’s membership — hence the new threat. And since Democrat politicians, mainstream media hacks, and...

A 79-year-old military veteran armed with a gun shot and killed a naked intruder early Friday morning during an attempted burglary in a Studio City neighborhood, police told NBC4 Investigates. The deadly altercation unfolded near Tujunga Avenue and Sarah Street, where police responded at about 7 a.m. to a report of a shooting. The Vietnam veteran heard screaming coming from outside a neighbor's house in the San Fernando Valley community and confronted the naked intruder, the LAPD said. Two women were inside the house, located southwest of the 170-101/134 freeway interchange, during the break-in, police said. During the ensuing struggle,...

Drug overdoses have killed more than a million people in the U.S. since 1999, with the majority of the fatalities driven by opioids, including the supremely powerful synthetic painkiller fentanyl.

How do I begin to cover today’s latest development: President Trump, having imposed steep tariffs on Chinese goods—tariffs that reached a staggering 145%—is now signaling a substantial reduction. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has acknowledged these tariffs are "unsustainable," hinting at a likely de-escalation in the trade war with China. Yet, in a twist of political theater, this retreat is being celebrated by supporters as a strategic masterstroke. The same voices that once championed the tariffs as a bold stand against China now laud their rollback as a savvy move, all without a hint of irony.​ I say this a lot,...

Over at Cuomo's election night party, independent journalist Michael Tracey captured one of the former governor's supporters engaging in some blunt analysis of the results. "Hey Curtis [Sliwa], you're a fucking scumbag like I said all along," he says in the video. "You split the fucking vote." This unnamed "Cuomosexual" wasn't alone in expressing these sentiments. Hear, for instance, former Republican Congressman and pardoned fraudster George Santos saying something similar: In both the primary and the general election, Cuomo never seemed to be able to get beyond the idea that all he had to do to win was point at...

President Trump on Sunday said that he plans to give every American $2,000 tariff dividends in a post on Truth Social. The President previously said he wants to give Americans a “rebate” because of the trillions of dollars in revenue from tariffs.

Would Sydney Sweeney care to explain herself to the lunatic scolds? No, she would not — and thank goodness for that. The starlet, who is promoting her new movie, “Christy,” sat down with GQ for a new interview in which she was shamed for — possibly, maybe — holding conservative views. The writer tried to coax some sort of mea culpa from Sweeney for starring in a punny American Eagle ad in which she invoked her “great jeans” and showed off her famous cleavage. The summer campaign was based on an iconic 1980s Calvin Klein ad in which Brooke Shields...

In recent years, a surprising trend has emerged: more and more Muslims are converting to Christianity. But what is driving this shift? At the heart of many conversions is a deep desire for a personal relationship with God…For many Muslims, the message of grace, forgiveness, and love is incredibly compelling. In Islam, there is a strong emphasis on works, laws and obedience. While these are important values, some Muslims who convert to Christianity find a sense of freedom and peace in knowing that they don’t have to earn God’s love—it’s given freely through Jesus. According to Ephesians 2:8, “For it...

The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown, even though residents in some states already have received the funds. **** Which states issued SNAP payments In Wisconsin, more than $104 million of monthly food benefits became available at midnight on electronic cards for about 337,000 households, a spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said. The state was able to access the federal money so quickly by submitting a request to its electronic benefit card vendor to process the SNAP payments...

An expedition to track down Amelia Earhart’s long-lost plane set for early November was pushed until next year . A team of researchers from Purdue University was set to explore Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific and dredge up what they believe may be Earhart’s plane, but encountered difficulties with local authorities when filing their permits — delaying their voyage. Steve Schultz, Purdue University’s senior vice president and a member of the Earhart research team, explained that “maritime expeditions require thorough preparations and numerous clearances.” “We have gained valuable insights throughout this process and are very confident and resolved to...

Much like the entirety of this year, social media timelines were flooded with “horrifying” videos of Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal aliens, with liberal users often not providing the full facts of what was actually happening with the arrests. The first case that caused high levels of outrage was that of a Colombian illegal immigrant who was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2023. Videos started circulating of federal agents rushing into a daycare and arresting the woman, who was trying to resist apprehension. The liberal narrative was...

Explanation: Big, bright, and beautiful, spiral galaxy M83 lies a mere twelve million light-years away, near the southeastern tip of the very long constellation Hydra. Prominent spiral arms traced by dark dust lanes and blue star clusters lend this galaxy its popular name, The Southern Pinwheel. But reddish star forming regions that dot the sweeping arms highlighted in this sparkling color composite also suggest another nickname, The Thousand-Ruby Galaxy. About 40,000 light-years across, M83 is a member of a group of galaxies that includes active galaxy Centaurus A. In fact, the core of M83 itself is bright at x-ray energies,...

Thune told reporters that the Senate will vote Sunday afternoon on a proposal to open the government, after not holding any votes Saturday afternoon. The text of the legislation is expected to be released early Sunday afternoon. It is expected to include the regular appropriations bills funding military construction, veterans affairs, the Department of Agriculture and...

Christians in Nigeria have welcomed Donald Trump's threat to send the US military to the West African nation 'guns-a-blazing' - but its leaders are wary. Nigeria has been roiled by internal violence in the wake of a jihadist insurgency spearheaded by extremist group Boko Haram in the northeast since 2009. Trump, 79, had already designated Nigeria a 'country of particular concern,' but he took his condemnation of the situation in the country even further last week after hearing about it on Fox News, threatening to cut aid and even send in US troops. Some Christian communities have welcomed the US...

The first openly trans lawmaker in the US — who was hailed as a trail-blazer — has admitted to sickening child sex charges involving young kids in a daycare. Former Democratic New Hampshire state Rep. Stacie-Marie Laughton, 41, a biological male who identifies as female, pleaded guilty to charges including sexual exploitation of children last week in a Boston federal court, WMUR reported. Laughton now faces up to 30 years in federal prison. Four pictures of children believed to be 3 to 5 years old were sent to Laughton by former partner, Lindsay Groves, who took the horrific images in...

Two teenagers from one of New Jersey’s wealthiest suburbs were arrested this week for allegedly plotting to join ISIS and carry out mass killings of Jews. According to federal prosecutors, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel and Milo Sedarat, both 19, both from Montclair, had stockpiled weapons, posed with an ISIS flag, and fantasized online about attacks on Jewish communities. Sedarat, the son of a well-known poet, reportedly said he wanted to “execute 500 Jews” and “mow down” pro-Israel marchers in his hometown. Jimenez-Guzel — whose mother, Meral Guzel, works at the United Nations Women’s Entrepreneurship Program — posted photos of himself with...

NEW YORK (AP) — Two Major League Baseball pitchers were indicted Sunday on charges they took bribes to give sports bettors advance notice of the types of pitches they’d throw and intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes to ensure successful bets. Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, both of whom pitched for the Cleveland Guardians, have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July while Major League Baseball investigated unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. Clase, 27, and Ortiz, 26, were both charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery and...
