The head of Mexico's detective service has acknowledged the country is “the champion” of fentanyl production, which appears to run counter to past statements by President Andrés Manuel López ObradorThe head of Mexico’s detective service acknowledged Tuesday that the country is “the champion” of fentanyl production, something that appears to run counter to past statements by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. López Obrador has hotly denied in the past that any fentanyl is produced in Mexico, saying Mexican cartels only press it into pills or add finishing touches. But Felipe de Jesus Gallo, the head of Mexico’s Criminal Investigation Agency,...

Dr. Adam Levy, an abortionist at the Birth Control Care Center abortion facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, is no stranger to controversy. His past first came under widespread scrutiny in 2022 after he appeared in a political ad opposing Republican April Becker‘s campaign. Becker was running for the U.S. House at the time. In the ad, Levy claimed that Becker’s “extreme backers” supported “ban[ning] all abortions.” He also claimed, “Before Roe v. Wade, doctors saw plenty of botched, back-alley abortions, and far too many women died.” Notably, this is untrue; most “back-alley” abortions were committed by doctors, and the death...

April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (SAAM) — a hard topic and one that abortion supporters all but ignore when it comes to the abortion industry. We know child molesters, pimps, and human traffickers all benefit from the deafening silence of abortion staff refusing to report obvious abusive situations playing out in their lobbies. However, these are not the only abusers hanging around abortion clinics. Countless women have experienced horrific sexual abuse at the hands of abortion doctors. In today’s Monday Lineup, we expose sexual predators from the Northeast — all of them found inside the abortion clinic, with a...

It is every homeowner’s nightmare: Leave your property unattended and come back to a squatter infestation. It’s even impacted celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, who recently saw his London restaurant overrun by intruders. These real estate pros fought back and won. Here’s how they got rid of squatters: Mohammed Choudhary, a 61-year-old Pakistani immigrant who works in construction, and his business partner Boysin Lorick, 76, originally from Trinidad, were chasing the American dream. In 2020, the men used large portions of their life savings to purchase a trio of one- and two-family houses on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island for $1.3...

King County filed charges against 6 people for the blockade which trapped motorists and emergency vehicles for over 5 hours. Two Seattle public school teachers and an Antifa militant with ties to the MS-13 gang were among those charged for shutting down the Interstate 5 freeway in January as part of an anti-Israel demonstration. On Friday, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (KCPAO) filed misdemeanor charges against six people in connection with the January 6 blockade, during which hundreds of anti-Israel activists flooded the northbound lanes of the freeway and trapped thousands of motorists and emergency vehicles for over 5...

The Tampa Police Department took five suspects into custody after officers were shot at while attempting a traffic stop, leading to a brief pursuit on Monday night.

We’re coming up on three and a half years into the Biden presidency — a presidency which from the outset promised an “all of government” regulatory onslaught to force a transition away from fossil fuels and to “green” energy. And the regulatory onslaught has indeed come forth. But how about the actual transition in energy use? Not so much. Let’s have a round-up of some recent data points. On the regulatory onslaught front, on March 7, 2024 Thomas Pyle of the Institute for Energy Research put out a list of “200 Ways the Biden Administration and Democrats Have Made it...

A Home Depot in New Rochelle, New York, is taking drastic measures to ensure shoppers are safe from “aggressive” migrants and thieves. The store now has two guards wearing MSA security hats and bulletproof vests patrolling the parking lot, the New York Post said Sunday. But that is not all. The guards had a German shepherd with them.

Often the Joe Biden administration has claimed that COVID-19 attacked families and workers through no fault of their own, and what was needed was its progressive spending agenda, specifically helping "people of color, immigrants, and low-wage workers." In reality, however, Biden's spending, "billions and counting – has gone to unrelated causes and the administration’s COVID relief program continues to fleece American taxpayers," according to a report from government watchdog Judicial Watch. The organization reported that, "Fraud and corruption are so rampant in the U.S. government’s mammoth pandemic relief program that the Justice Department created a special COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task...

Here’s another “New Neighbors Update,” a chance to share some recent troubles Chicago’s newest residents have encountered with the legal system. Yuehigor Fajardo Gonzalez, a 30-year-old Venezuelan migrant living at the Standard Club shelter in the Loop, was arrested on April 9 after shelter staff members allegedly found him in possession of a single 9-millimeter bullet at the security checkpoint. Gonzalez told police that he got the bullet in Oklahoma and “he keeps the bullet in his pocket for good luck that he doesn’t get shot,” according to his arrest report. He’s charged with unlawful possession of ammunition without a...

GONZALES COUNTY, Texas – A boy, who is now 10 years old, confessed to an unsolved murder from 2022, Gonzales County Sheriff’s Office announced on Friday. But GCSO said he will not be charged with the crime because he committed it before the age of culpability. Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot and killed while he slept in his RV at the Lazy J RV Park located at 85 Wild Meadow in Nixon. He had just moved there four days before. His body was discovered after he failed to show up to work for two days. He had been shot...

Homicides are falling across the U.S. And that shift could impact the role crime — often a top voter concern — plays as an issue in November’s election. But it is a phenomenon for which experts don’t have a clear explanation. Some say homicide peaks come and go in cycles, some say policing improved after the COVID-19 pandemic, and some attribute it to the evolving national conversation about how to handle crime. A data analysis released last week shows that the number of homicides in cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, are dropping. While many major cities, especially...

Four people were stabbed on board a party boat during a dinner cruise off of Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon, police reported.

Two of the four victims were listed in serious condition, while two others were stable at local hospitals, according to law enforcement sources.

Once upon a time, illegal aliens cowered in the shadows, and Democrats told us that was wrong. Now, Democrats have de facto legalized illegal immigration, and the aliens no longer cower. Instead, they make it plain that they have the upper hand and are entitled to free food, free lodging, and freedom from America’s laws and rules. The most recent example is the group of illegal aliens who refused to yield a soccer field to a boys’ youth soccer game in New York City. We routinely hear stories of illegal aliens complaining that they don’t like the free food they...

FBI authorities served subpoenas at Illinois’ Dolton Village Hall on Friday afternoon as Mayor Tiffany Henyard (D) fields corruption accusations, per Fox 32.

The outlet noted she is also accused of covering up an alleged sexual assault by one of her colleagues against another employee:

ST. LOUIS — A 14-year-old boy was charged as an adult Tuesday with killing a woman during a 48-hour crime spree last year that included nine carjackings, two ATM robberies and the shooting death of a woman. Brian Wellington, of Overland, is facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of 38-year-old Kay Johnson in the 4700 block of Compton Avenue. Charging documents say Wellington and another boy, Deshaun Harris, were riding in a stolen 2019 Nissan sedan on Jan. 24, 2023, when they got out and approached Johnson’s vehicle. Both...
