WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight people from Tajikistan with suspected ties to the Islamic State group have been arrested in the United States in recent days, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. The arrests took place in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles and the individuals, who entered the U.S. through the southern border, are being held on immigration violations, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The nature of their suspected connections to the IS was not immediately clear, but the...

And what will you do? Sit home and pound on the keyboards and wring your hands? Or will you take to the Streets and give the Government thugs and Leftist Democrats what for? What say you?

... Strategists said Rubio’s background, experience as a legislator and skills as a political candidate would make him a strong candidate to widen the ticket’s appeal. “I happen to think that he’s the candidate the Biden campaign probably fears the most,” said Florida-based Republican strategist Justin Sayfie. “Of all the people that President Trump can pick to be his running mate, I think that the Biden campaign probably would not like to see Marco Rubio on the ticket.” Rubio, 53, is among the youngest candidates on Trump’s short list. He was first elected to the Senate in 2010 with support...

This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers “conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.” His column, titled “Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end,” missed the point. It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet. Since his appointment,...

Former President Donald Trump described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as being “maybe the greatest salesman of any politician.” While speaking at Turning Point Action’s “People’s Conference,” in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, Trump criticized President Joe Biden for “wasting money at levels never seen before” and putting money into the Green New Deal. The former president continued to add that Zelensky might be “the greatest salesman of any politician” to ever live, noting how “every time” he comes to the United States, he leaves with “$60 billion.”

Gynuity Health Projects, a research organization conducting clinical trials aimed at expanding access to the abortion pill and overturning the Food and Drug Administration’s safety requirements, is funded by organizations with deep historic ties to the American eugenics movement. Gynuity’s donor list includes organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Planned Parenthood, the Population Council, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Society for Family Planning, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Tara Health Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. In 1996, the Packard Foundation seeded the pill’s manufacturer, Danco Laboratories, Inc.,...

On June 8, 2023, a year ago, Gavin Newsom, Governor of California and continuous supporter of ever-more laws restricting gun ownership and use, proposed an Article V convention of the states to amend the United States Constitution. The new amendment would allow for more restrictions on who may own firearms and what type they are allowed to own. Since the convention and amendment were proposed, no other state has passed a resolution to support Governor Newsom’s effort.The initial proposition did not propose language for the Article V convention. It listed several possible restrictions without statutory language. Resolution 7 was passed...

The Biden administration “strongly opposes” a congressional proposal to raise the pay of junior enlisted service members. In a statement on its position on the House’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the White House said it did not support the proposal equivalent to approximately $24.4 billion over five years.

ROUND ROCK, Texas — Two people were killed and multiple others were injured in a shooting during a Juneteenth Celebration Saturday night around 10:50 p.m. in Round Rock, Texas, according to Round Rock Police. The suspect or suspects responsible for the shooting are still at large. Round Rock Police urge anyone with information about the shooting or video of the shooting to call Round Rock Police at (512) 218-5500. The shooting began when two groups began fighting with each other near the vendor area during the Round Rock Juneteenth Festival at Old Settler's Park. During the fight, at least one...

The alarm has gone off four years later and this time we'd better be fully awake. The country will end up with more than just a few stitches if the fascist Democrats have their way again. I suppose many of us have heard the expression “snitches get stitches,” referring to the one and only serious code-breaker known within criminal circles. You could be a murderer, a rapist or a terrorist (hey, that’s your “chosen field” prerogative as a bad guy), but if you ever snitch on a fellow ne’er-do-well—well, you could wind up hospitalized. It seems that many people observing...

San Francisco recognized Pride Month differently this year — by declaring itself a sanctuary for transgender and gender non-conforming people. The city’s Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday in favor of the sanctuary status, making San Francisco one of the first major cities in the nation to do so. The resolution symbolically indicates those identifying as transgender, gender non-conforming, intersex and two-spirit are safe to seek transitioning health care and that providers are similarly safe, Los Angeles’ FOX 11 reported. “We have seen an influx of refugees, not just from other countries, but from other states who are seeking care...

When we read the beginning books of the Bible, we tend to forget something very important. God had promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob a homeland where he would provide for them. He didn’t keep his promise the way that anyone would’ve thought he would. We forget that because we know the end of the story. Who would have thought that 400 years of slavery in Egypt would be part of keeping that promise, though? We feel like it’s hard to trust God when he’s not keeping his promises the way we think he should or with the timing we would...

“Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, ‘O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up’” (Daniel 3:16-18). Unconditional obedience is the trademark of mature faith. In Matthew 13...

I suggest you start preparing for a great deal of left-wing civic violence, supply disruptions (including food shortages) and widespread urban chaos. I say this because it is my sense that the Democrats, deep state, and their media enablers are all in rough shape and have no other way out but to fall back on their usual criminal methods of retaining power. I find it impossible to believe that President Biden will be the Democratic nominee, and if he is, that he can win. What do the Democrats do? They certainly can’t substitute Kamala Harris for Biden; she’s tanked in...

It’s the melting pot of all scams. Russian gangsters, MS-13 members, and a cadre of corrupt surgeons, lawyers and lenders are pulling off the latest big con in the city: bogus personal-injury lawsuits where immigrants go under the knife to help their twisted ruse. Migrants and other desperate New Yorkers are pressured into getting unneeded spinal fusion surgery and other operations to boost the value of their fake-accident claims, according to court records, insurance investigators and law-enforcement sources. Doctors cash in on the sick swindle by performing back and neck fusions, allowing fraudsters to swipe billions through bogus insurance filings,...

The “Father of Abortion Rights,” Larry Lader, held eugenic beliefs inspired by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger — but on abortion, they parted ways, with Lader being extremely in favor of abortion. Lader and his colleague Bernard Nathanson were the two men most instrumental in pushing the 1960’s women’s movement towards abortion. The reason we know this information, says “Subverted” author Sue Ellen Browder, is because Nathanson, an abortionist who later converted to the pro-life cause, had stories to tell. Image: Larry Lader and Bernard Nathanson. Both men worked against the feminist pro-life movement to push abortion on women. Browder...
