Rock. Pepper. Spray. Call it Chuck Rocha's variation on Rock. Paper. Scissors. On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, after a clip rolled of an ICE agent pepper-spraying a protester, Dem strategist Rocha claimed: "If there's somebody who's come here and they've done something illegal, sure, they should be deported. But [not] killing people in our streets that are U.S. citizens, point-blank pepper spraying . . . People in America are okay with somebody throwing a rock."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

An article published on rollingout.com claims to “debunk” myths about guns with “real data”. All the “real data” used is from advocates who oppose the ownership of guns. If you skip to the end of the article, the source listed for the numbers used in the article is Everytown Research. Everytown Research is one of the propaganda arms of the anti-Second Amendment organization Everytown for Gun Safety, financed by Michael Bloomberg, a staunch anti-Second Amendment advocate. To use such a source to “debunk” myths is similar to asking the Flat Earth Society to “debunk” myths about gravity.The pitch starts with...

"Donald Trump is an arrogant man who will be overthrown, and is attacking the Islamic Nation, Persian piped in "sieg heil" in Farsi. It's a short. There are subtitles.

Iran's Candidate: This is how Tehran seeks to shape the new Hamas leadership. Iran supports Khalil al-Hayya as a candidate for head of Hamas' political bureau due to his close ties with the military wing and the resistance axis, and its assessment is that he ensures continuity of the military line without internal division. Summary. The upcoming internal elections in Hamas for the position of chairman of the political bureau are taking place at a particularly sensitive time, against the backdrop of the war in the Gaza Strip, the fragile ceasefire, and the increasing involvement of regional players in the...

Social media users have found yet another goth girl to obsess over, but this one is just a little more problematic than the usual fare. Her name is Amelia, and she's an antagonist in the educational, U.K. government-funded anti-extremist video game Pathways. So, why have far-right communities on social media decided to embrace Amelia as a symbol of anti-immigration? Here's what you need to know.

Boy, nothing will give you an absolute case of the morbs regarding average American educational standards quite like posting a couple of mildly controversial essays, and then catching emails, comments, and drive-by social media’ing. Good lord. “Ian! Why should American give a toss about what happens in a foreign country!” Seriously?1 The mullahs in Tehran have directly — albeit through proxies — been killing Americans since 1980. Lest anyone think that their slogan, “Death to America!” is hyperbole, they have influenced — if not outright funded — terror attacks on U.S. soil. They intentionally and knowingly attempt to goad the...

Since October 7, 2023, a new political reality has taken hold in Europe and the United States – the emergence of a large, sustained anti-Israel protest movement joined by organized factions of the radical left and, in some cases, elected officials. The movement calls itself “pro-Palestinian,” and the mass media accept the label, though it dramatically understates the ideology and objectives of the headline-making protesters. Some pundits – and politicians – prefer a different description: “critics of Israel.” All of which is as grotesquely misleading as referring to Nazis as pro-German critics of Jews or Klansmen as pro-white critics of...

The Department of Housing and Urban Development likely paid out more than $84 million in ineligible assistance to Minnesota during President Joe Biden’s final year in office — including to more than 500 “deceased tenants,” according to officials and documents reviewed by The Post. HUD has been looking into billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded housing aid doled out by the Biden administration — and its most recent review found $84.6 million in potentially erroneous payments in fiscal year 2024. That included up to $496,000 in improper assistance to 509 dead tenants. Approximately $246,000 more was shelled out to 20 people...

There is now a strong likelihood that US President Donald Trump will order air strikes against Iran. In some ways, Trump has backed himself into a corner, declaring defiantly that should the Iranian regime open fire on its own people, then the US would take action against the regime. He's told protesters that help is on its way. What help? And when? The regime has done exactly what Trump warned against. While an information blackout has made it difficult to assess the exact extent of the death toll, it is clear that hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranian protesters have...

Lately, there have been a string of biblical films and TV series that are highly acclaimed and have won audiences over with their originality and unique composition. David is one of the latest of these projects to bring the life of a shepherd boy, who later became the second King of Israel, to audiences, and more notably, children in an epic style that would, in my opinion, land itself within the realm of high-production values as was brilliantly displayed in the movie, The Prince of Egypt, for example. This story of David brings audiences of all ages together to witness...

🚨 JUST IN: ICE RIPPED a woman from her car in Minneapolis after she BLOCKED them from driving down the road She then begs and pleads for mercy. NOPE! You f***ed around, and now you’re finding out! 😆

VIDEOIt was the well-deserved knockout punch (and punches) destined to launch a Million Memes. A commie anti-ICE mental case kept blasting loud megaphone noise directly into the ear of a MAGA patriot in a sick effort to cause deafness. As you can see, the anti-ICE cretin had plenty of time and opportunity to stand down and relent. However, he chose to pursue his megaphone madness. Big Mistake. As you can see, when the guy who has come to be known as MAGA Tyson had enough, he delivered a severe beating upon the Megaphone Commie. And when the Commie's comrades came...

On an icy Friday morning, Mahad Omar watched armed federal agents run down the street and tackle one of his neighbors to the ground. They handcuffed the man and put him inside a black-tinted S.U.V. Mr. Omar, 28, an Uber driver, immigrated to Minneapolis from Somalia two decades ago. He had never imagined seeing something like that in his community. “Minneapolis is a great city,” Mr. Omar said after the agents had left and residents emerged from their homes to discuss in hushed voices what they had seen from their yards and windows. Several women wept. “It’s never been like...

A judge sentenced a former U.S. Navy sailor convicted of espionage in August 2025 to over 16 years in prison, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a Monday press release.

A federal grand jury later indicted him. He has now been sentenced to 20o...

With the approach of Israeli parliamentary elections next year, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett appears to be the biggest threat to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remaining in office, according to opinion polls. Bennett, the son of American immigrants from San Francisco, was prime minister for a year – June 2021 to June 2022… Make no mistake. Bennett is as right-wing as Netanyahu. His last term as prime minister was as leader of the New Right party, and he’s the former director of the Yesha Council of West Bank Jewish settlements… Bennett and most of the country’s Jewish political leadership are...

🚨This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed. Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few....
