LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A battle is underway about the release of a convicted murderer with ties to the MS-13 gang who previously entered the United States illegally. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Boulware II ordered the release of Harvey Laureano Rosales, 54, by Jan. 22. In his Jan. 21 order, Boulware said the federal government violated Rosales’ due process rights in multiple ways, and noted he acknowledges Rosales’ criminal history, “while also acknowledging that he has served a lengthy sentence and been paroled for these crimes.” ... Rosales is a citizen and national of El Salvador who entered the...

President Trump has the world playing taps for the New World Order, and that’s a good thing. In the process he dealt the UK’s Keir Starmer what appears to be a fatal blow. And in Minneapolis, a combination of communists and NGO-paid rioters are trying to replay the George Floyd Summer of Love and is instead showing why ICE’s work is essential to good order. The media is trying to help the rioters by concocting a “bait boy” fable. DavosNiall Ferguson sums up, ”The reality is that Trump won Davos, hands down. And not only did he win it; he...

A A Reset "I pray that . . . you may know what is the hope of [God's] calling" (Eph. 1:18). The hope of your calling is grounded in God’s promises and in Christ’s accomplishments. In Ephesians 1:3-14 Paul proclaims the blessings of our salvation. In verse 18 he prays that we will comprehend those great truths, which he summarizes in the phrase "the hope of His calling." "Calling" here refers to God's effectual calling—the calling that redeems the soul. Scripture speaks of two kinds of calling: the gospel or general call and the effectual or specific call. The gospel...

These are three outright lies (George Floyd, Renee Good and now Alex Pretti); you are able to definitively triangulate between three to tell what's going on—two events by themselves would have been enough, but there's no arguing with three. The real issue is, not your refusal to "believe your lying eyes", but, first, the mentality of the insurgents, then, the ultimate motivation for their wanting, to the point of being death-fanatics, to overturn reality, to accomplish, in the term by Friedrich Nietzsche, a "transvaluation of values", which is just a fancy "philosophical" term for calling evil: good, and good: evil....

MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local authorities after Hennepin Co. Sheriff Dawanna Witt formally requested the assistance of the National Guard. Later Saturday afternoon, the city of Minneapolis also requested support from the Minnesota National Guard to "help local police and emergency personnel protect community safety" in the area around Saturday's fatal shooting "and at other posts as needed."

President Donald Trump took a shot at Somalia and claimed that the investigations Minnesota faces into alleged fraud schemes are a reminder that the West cannot allow mass migration from "failed" societies. Minnesota has encountered heightened scrutiny in recent months as the state faces investigations into multiple alleged fraud schemes plaguing the state’s social services system. The majority of those charged are part of Minnesota’s Somali population, and Trump unveiled plans in November 2025 to end the temporary protected status for Somali migrants in Minnesota that offers protections against deportation. "The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot...

Bill Whittle is my favorite Conservative voice, and in this linked video he discusses a new trend that is apparently spreading over the Internet, and it highlights the efforts on the European governments (in this case, British) attempts to crack down on Internet speech.The British government has released a series of animated "instructional" interactive cartoons online which are intended to indoctrinate people in what Orwell called Goodthink in his seminal work, 1984 which is what the government feels is the "right" way to think about certain issues. (I believe the videos are called Pathways because the user can select different...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men,...

Researchers have identified a metabolically sensitive cell subtype in the eye's drainage system which shows early signs of dysfunction in a genetic mouse model of glaucoma. The study provides a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing or slowing the development of glaucoma. Glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve. The main risk factors is high intraocular pressure, which results from dysfunction in the trabecular meshwork—a porous tissue that helps maintain normal eye pressure. Tolman used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile nearly 18,000 cells. They identified six major cell types, with further analysis revealing three subtypes of trabecular...

Vitamin B12 is long understood as a vital nutrient required for red blood cell formation and nerve function, but a new study suggests its role in human biology is far more intricate, with implications for aging, metabolism and disease prevention. The research reports previously unrecognized pathways by which B12 influences cellular metabolism and uncovers biomarkers that may identify early nutritional stress far before classic deficiency symptoms appear. "This is the first study that shows B12 deficiency affects skeletal muscle mitochondrial energy production," said Martha Field, Ph.D. "It's highly relevant because muscles have high energy demands. More importantly, my co-author, Anna...

A gun rights advocate says he has major concerns about the legality of the shooting Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti after watching footage of his killing. Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, analyzed one of the several videos taken of the shooting of Pretti on Saturday and shared his damming opinion that the killing was unwarranted on social media. Pretti, who was a US and an intensive care nurse who treated critically ill military veterans, was killed shortly after 9am on January 24, after an altercation involving multiple federal officers. Video footage showed he was wrestled...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinals’ letter against Trump’s foreign policy is a blatant political attackCardinals Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin speak of their concern for ‘religious liberty’ and ‘the right to life’ after years of silence under the Biden administration, even when it spied on Catholics and locked up pro-lifers.By now it shouldn’t be surprising when Catholic clergy counter-signal President Trump. It happened first when Pope Francis attacked him for wanting to build a border wall in 2016. It happened in December of last year when Leo indirectly rebuked him for his peace plan in Ukraine, which he said would “break apart” the...
