    In a groundbreaking joint effort, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Miami and Florida law enforcement agencies arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants during the first four days of Operation Tidal Wave, a massive, multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown. Fox News obtained information on some of the ICE arrests from the ongoing operation, which include a convicted Colombian murderer, alleged MS-13 and 18th Street gang members and a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for manslaughter. Savva Klishchevskii, a Russian illegal immigrant, has an Interpol Red Notice out of Russia for vehicular manslaughter. Aron Isaak Morazan-Izaguirre, a Honduran illegal immigrant, is a...

    Cooking how-to videos, recipe blogs and mass-produced cookbooks may be relatively recent inventions, but our ancestors liked to cook, too. Archaeologists have found remnants of food resembling our own all over the world, from traces of burnt porridge on Stone Age pots to "beer loaves" of bread in ancient Egypt. Yet, for much of history, cooking was an art passed down orally and not often documented in writing.So what's the oldest known recipe?The answer hails back to one of the oldest civilizations, although their recipes look a little different from the ones we see today...In fact, what we now know...

    An illegal immigrant was arrested Saturday for stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s pricey Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal items – and a second migrant suspect is still on the loose, according to sources. Noem, 53, was on an Easter outing with her family at The Capital Burger in Washington, DC, when the masked thief stole the luxury shoulder bag, which also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge and apartment keys on April 20. The suspect, whose identity was not immediately available, was busted by the DC Metro Police and the Secret Service, sources said....

    In the real world, governments aren’t cute and cuddly. They’re monsters. There is a sentence that has long bothered me. It is treated as a piece of universal wisdom that humans gain with experience, and surely every member of a modern, industrial society has heard it in some form. Whether spoken by a close friend or complete stranger, its utterance usually comes with a sly grin that invites the listener to reconsider a fundamental belief. Here it is: That’s not how the real world works. That dirty, little sentence slithers into conversations meant to turn a person’s perception of reality...

    MILWAUKEE, WI — While being questioned by authorities following her arrest, FBI agents discovered 17 more illegal aliens hiding in the back of County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's robes. "Oh, that's — that's weird," Agent Damon Chandler was heard saying as he made the chilling discovery. "That ain't right, your honor. These robes are for justice... not breaking the law." Judge Dugan, who was charged with two felonies for aiding and abetting an undocumented migrant, has now been charged with a further 17 felonies for hiding Mexicans in her judge robes. In a 17-page complaint filed by District Attorney Al...

    Xi Jinping's regime simply cannot admit it is not able to stand up to Washington.[O]n April 24 about a dozen Chinese officials, including a "high-ranking official from the Chinese Ministry of Finance," were seen entering the U.S. Treasury's main building in Washington at 7:00 in the morning as Chinese security officials attempted to prevent photographers from recording the entry."In fact, the tariff waivers underscore that not only does Beijing need access to the American market far more than Americans need the China market but also that the United States makes vital products that simply aren't Made in China, and won't...

    While the media and military have been silent, what the Navy did against a Houthi attack is pretty magnificent. Has the U.S. grown ashamed of its military victories? There are reasons to believe this is true. In April 1988, the U.S. Navy effectively destroyed the Iranian navy following a mine attack on the destroyer USS Roberts. The Navy sank an Iranian frigate, four armed speedboats, blew up two armed oil platforms, and damaged another frigate in one of the shortest and most successful campaigns of the postwar period. Yet even today, there is no actual name attached to the engagement....

    At least nine people have been killed after an SUV rammed through a packed street festival in Vancouver on Saturday night. The vehicle rammed through the crowd at the Lapu Lapu Day event at around 8pm local time, leaving multiple people dead and scores more injured. Detectives said a 30-year-old man, from the city and 'known to police', was 'taken into custody by people in the crowd' before being arrested at the scene following the 'mass casualty incident'. Issuing an update on the death toll early on Sunday morning, Vancouver Police said: 'As of now, we can confirm nine people...

    Judges play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Another week where America turns its attention to a rotten judiciary which is fast erasing any respect we once had for it. As the prior outrageous injunctions by numbers of (judge shopped) District Courts make their way up the judicial ladder, even more of them were issued this week. I think everything the President has done is the object of at least one District Court injunction. In the meantime, corruption of the judiciary has become so overt that two judges were placed under arrest this week. The case that particularly caught my...

    Thursday, April 17, the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department responded to a shooting on Chestnut Bluff and Maury City Road. According to the sheriff’s department, John King III was shot and killed in the 6000 block of Chestnut Bluff-Maury City Road. We learned on April 18 that it appeared to be domestic violence-related, and no charges were filed at the time. Wednesday, we spoke with District Attorney General Frederick Agee. He told us this was self defense and that his office would not be pursuing any charges. “She is six months pregnant and there were two other children in the household,”...

    For Tampa FL's residents who do NOT speak or read Spanish, Walmart's corporate overlords have just declared you to be an official minority. As of yesterday morning, Walmart's corporate (not sponsored) website comes up entirely in Spanish, with no obvious "Press 2 for English" option showing anywhere. Are they for real? A search online resulted in dozens of so-called "explanations" as to why this kind of thing might be happening to you on your computer. One explanation given was that a "business" might switch to Spanish as its default language in corporate communications if/when the demographic in a locality it...
  • Dozens of Chicagoans grab $300K cash that fell off back of Brinks truck: report

    They came into some sleazy money. Bags full of cash fell off a Brinks Home Security Company truck as it drove through a Chicago suburb last week — leaving over $300,000 in cash in the hands of sticky-fingered locals, according to a report. The moolah hauler’s back door became ajar by “unknown means” as it rolled through the Oak Park neighborhood of the Second City on Tuesday — dropping three cash-filled bags onto Austin Boulevard, according to NBC. Brinks claims that between 50 and 100 Chicagoans capitalized on the money mishap — making a mad cash-grabbing dash and fleeing the...

    Over a year ago, the Netherlands reported numerous sperm mega-donors within the country, leading to fears of accidental incest. The number of these mega-donors seems to keep growing, with the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NVOG) now admitting at least 85 men have fathered 25 or more children. The most infamous Dutch sperm mega-donor is Jonathan Meijer, who is believed to have over 1,000 children and was the subject of a Netflix documentary last year. Meijer had been ordered to stop donating sperm, though he appeared not to have complied, just moving his sperm donation business outside of the...

    On Tuesday, April 22, a newborn was found dead in a dumpster in Albuquerque, New Mexico. KOB 4 News reported that in roughly three years, this is the fourth case in which a baby was similarly abandoned, resulting in the deaths of three of the infants. According to local station KOAT 7, there are currently no Safe Haven Baby Box (SHBB) locations in Albuquerque. However, every state has a Safe Haven/Baby Moses law allowing for the safe surrender of an infant to designated personnel. In New Mexico, parents may surrender an infant within 90 days of the child’s birth to...
