Tulsi Gabbard rips Dem rep for ‘infuriating’ claim DC National Guard shooting was ‘unfortunate accident’ WASHINGTON — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Friday it was absolutely “infuriating” that a Democratic House member referred to last month’s DC shooting, which killed one National Guard member and critically wounded another, as an “unfortunate accident” in a hearing on Capitol Hill. “This is someone who is a very, very senior leader in Congress, who for a long time has led the Homeland Security Committee,” Gabbard erupted during a “Fox & Friends” interview when discussing Rep. Bennie Thompson’s remarks before the House...

Hungary’s guarded borders stand out in a Europe where migrant-driven unrest is forcing Christmas markets to shutter under rising security fears. Not surprisingly, a controversial prediction in the new Trump administration’s National Security Strategy that Europe is facing “civilization erasure” because of out-of-control mass migration infuriated European elites. The Economist attacked this reference as “shocking.” The Independent, a UK newspaper, referred to it as a “sinister conspiracy theory.” I want to set this aside for a moment and talk about European Christmas markets, especially in Hungary. These markets are an old tradition where people gather to shop and socialize in...

“We’re saying Merry Christmas again!” President Trump declared recently, referring to the politically correct social pressure Christians sometimes feel to downplay the holiday greeting in order to be more “inclusive” of non-Christians. For decades now, as the culture has become more secular, references to Christ have been gradually drained from the season celebrating His birth: schools have changed “Christmas break” to “winter break”; Christmas tree lighting ceremonies have become “Winter” or “Holiday” tree lightings; and most notoriously, “Happy Holidays” has replaced “Merry Christmas” in many chain stores, advertisements, and corporate settings. Some claim that the idea of a “war...

The unidentified ship was reportedly flying the flag of E-Swatini and was part of what Iran alleges is a massive trafficking scheme to steal Iranian oil and sell it abroad.

Governor Abbott Designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR As Foreign Terrorist Organizations. November 18, 2025 | Austin, Texas | Press Release.

A multilateral military treaty between Honduras, Israel, and the United States will see the deployment of 1000 Israeli soldiers at Honduras. They will train the Armed Forces of Honduras (FFAA) and National Police (PN). The main mission of the troops is to train for border protection to stop migrants fleeing Honduras to the U.S., especially children. This would be the second time that Honduras is allowing foreign military personnel in the territory and the first time in Israel’s history to send troops abroad. Apart from border protection, fight against drug trafficking, investigation, and counterterrorism will be offered as well.

A Brazilian Harvard Law School professor who pleaded guilty last month to illegally firing an air rifle outside a Boston-area synagogue — and told police he was “hunting rats” — has agreed to leave the US following his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week. Carlos Portugal Gouvea, 43, copped Nov. 13 to a single charge of illegal use of the air rifle in connection with the Oct. 2 incident outside of Brookline’s Temple Beth Zion, which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The scholar was arrested by ICE Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)...

Portland leaders approved a measure Wednesday that could lead to big financial bills for the landlord of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the South Waterfront neighborhood. The measure, passed in a 9-2 vote by the City Council, will create a new fee for private property owners who lease their buildings to be used as detention centers. Its aim, according to proponents, is to recoup costs incurred by city government, residents or businesses because of activities related to such facilities. While not named in the ordinance, the ICE facility near South Macadam Avenue is the only such building...

Students had protested ICE enforcement against Muslim terrorist supporters. Two questions. 1. Why is a Pakistani Muslim terrorist at the University of Delaware? It’s a losing proposition for America and doesn’t seem to have paid off all that well. 2. How long until officials and the media insist that Luqmaan Khan, like the D.C. National Guard Afghan terrorist, was just ‘sad’ and we need to be understanding of everything he went through… to try and kill us. A University of Delaware student has been charged with felony possession of a machine gun and had plans to attack the campus, police...

Meanwhile, I’m still banned from entering Britain solely because I dare to criticize Islam. Britain has chosen its fate, and that fate will surely come: conquest, Islamization, and the subjugation of the native community. “Migrant responsible for killing 269 people in deadly bombings wins appeal after being refused asylum,” by Richard Jeffries, GB News, December 1, 2025: A Sri Lankan national who faced arrest in connection with the devastating 2019 Easter bombings has succeeded in his appeal against the Home Office’s rejection of his asylum claim.

From 7/7 to Manchester 2025 – the story they refuse to tellAfter the Manchester synagogue attack, I began tracing two decades of Islamic terrorism in Britain – uncovering a disturbing pattern hidden in plain sight. This is not prejudice. It’s record-keeping – and a warning about policies putting us all at risk.ManchesterI didn’t learn about the Manchester synagogue terrorist attack until I opened my phone after Yom Kippur had ended. I had also missed messages from my cousin, who had witnessed the event and been evacuated from her home by the police.By 7:30 the following morning, I had already traced...

The White House has paused all immigration applications from 19 countries and canceled citizenship ceremonies across the US, citing national security and public safety concerns. The freeze could affect more than 1.5 million people who had asylum applications pending and more than 50,000 who received asylum grants under the Biden administration, The New York Times reports. President Donald Trump is also considering expanding the travel ban to more than 30 countries, according to the New York Post. The new policy memorandum, released Tuesday night, cites last week’s 'terror attack' in D.C. where Afghan man Rahmanullah Lakanwal was arrested for allegedly...

An entire US community is on edge as the Trump Administration drops deportation protections in conjunction with a fraud investigation implicating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Journalistic report. Includes news footage for purposes of commentary, criticism and analysis.

At my direction, US Treasury is investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.

During a press conference Monday, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that Wolfe, though still in serious condition, showed the first encouraging signs of neurological responsiveness. Gov. Patrick Morrisey: “I want to say I’m not the doctor; I’m not going to...

The aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and three warships have been sent to the Caribbean, where they are joining a dozen Navy warships already off the coast of Venezuela, in an unprecedented show of military force. President Trump and his administration are taking aim at the administration of Nicolas Maduro, over his alleged role in the drug trade which presents a national security threat to the United States. It’s clear that if the US succeeds in destabilizing and displacing President Maduro’s regime, it would be a blow to the region’s drug traffickers. What is less known is that it would...

“The magnitude of the national security crisis Joe Biden unleashed… cannot be overstated,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. A shocking new case out of Texas has intensified scrutiny of the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program, after authorities arrested an Afghan national who allegedly posted videos on TikTok claiming he was constructing a homemade bomb and naming the Fort Worth area as his target.
