The skirmishes with immigration agents of the past few days are dwarfed by the widespread rioting, vandalism and violence that engulfed whole neighborhoods in 1992.Some Republicans have drawn parallels between President Trump’s dispatching of National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Saturday and what happened in 1992, when soldiers and Marines were sent to the Los Angeles area to restore order after the Rodney King riots.But that was a far different situation.In contrast with the isolated skirmishes seen in Los Angeles County over the past few days, there were neighborhoods in 1992 that had devolved into something resembling a lawless...

President Trump and Secretary of State/National Security Advisor Marco Rubio depart New Jersey en route to Camp David for a principals group meeting, discussion and strategy session. As President Trump notes, there will be “generals, and ¹others” in attendance at Camp David, using the additional term “better security.”On the subject of whether he would trigger the Insurrection Act to quell violence in Los Angeles, President Trump replied, “that depends on if there’s an insurrection.” lol President Trump said he and his team are watching the events closely, but they will not permit law enforcement to be harmed in any way....

I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command. We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.

The Pentagon deliberately spread UFO conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51 in an attempt to conceal secret weapons programs, according to a newly released report. A report released by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) found that an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51 in the 1980s – providing the owner fabricated material depicting flying saucers around the highly classified military base, according to the Wall Street Journal’s review of the report released in 2024.

President Trump directed federal agencies to “take any action necessary” to liberate Los Angeles from the illegal alien invaders. “A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los...

The Sacramento LGBT Community Center warned that hundreds of youth, many at risk of homelessness or in crisis, could lose access to life-saving mental health counseling and gender-affirming care if the City Council fails to approve additional funding. A $500,000 loss for the center from a terminated federal grant has already affected youth and adult mental health services, said Executive Director David Heitstuman.

The Israeli government said Sunday that the aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists will not be allowed to reach the Gaza Strip, warning the protesters to “turn back.” Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered his troops to maintain Israel’s naval blockade over the Palestinian enclave, which has remained in effect to prevent Hamas from importing weapons. “To the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propagandists — I will say this clearly: You should turn back, because you will not make it to Gaza,” Katz warned. “Israel will act decisively against any attempt to break the blockade or support terrorist...

In public, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia says his country’s growing friendship with China is unshakable — a strategic military and economic collaboration that has entered a golden era. But in the corridors of Lubyanka, the headquarters of Russia’s domestic security agency, known as the F.S.B., a secretive intelligence unit refers to the Chinese as “the enemy.” The threats are laid out in an eight-page internal F.S.B. planning document, obtained by The New York Times, that sets priorities for fending off Chinese espionage. The document is undated, raising the possibility that it is a draft, though it appears from...

The Democrat senator criticizes Trump's deployment of National Guard.The anti-ICE demonstrations in and around Los Angeles have been “peaceful,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed on Sunday, despite clear evidence of violent clashes with federal authorities.Booker seemed to take a page out of CNN’s “mostly peaceful” playbook from 2020 after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend. Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — both Democrats — for not being able to contain the chaos as videos and media reports documented how demonstrators hurled rocks, concrete, and fireworks at...

DNC Chair Ken Martin vented about party Vice Chairman and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg to the point of near tears in a recent call with top Dem brass, saying, “No one knows who the hell I am." “I’ll be very honest with you: For the first time in my 100 days on this job, the other night I said to myself for the first time, ‘I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,’ ” Martin bluntly admitted in leaked audio of the May 15 Zoom meeting, which was obtained by Politico, Martin, who was elected boss of the...

"Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task," he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.

Hamas and other terrorist groups have issued a warning to residents of the Gaza Strip, urging them not to trust what they described as “false promises from the occupation” or participate in “enemy plans,” threatening that doing so could provoke a severe response. In an official statement, the groups claimed that the humanitarian aid distribution centers operated by the United States have become “death traps,” where civilians are allegedly lured by hunger and killed in what they referred to as daily “massacres.” The statement further alleged that the true objective behind these aid centers is to dismantle UNRWA and shift...

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, is one of my favorite people in the administration. That’s because he’s got a razor-sharp mind that allows him to expose all the leftist lies and assumptions in media queries, and, with simplicity and clarity, to respond with the truth. Given his communicative abilities, perhaps it’s not surprising that ABC’s Terry Moran issued a vile personal attack against Miller. One gets the feeling that it's not just anti-MAGA sentiment but real jealousy at work. ABC seems to be trying to figure out how not to get...

As the Trump administration makes good on its promise to arrest and deport hundreds of people in the country illegally, Kentucky’s junior senator is offering a solution for those who haven’t committed a crime. When asked recently in an interview how President Donald Trump should handle immigrants who entered the country unlawfully but haven’t otherwise violated another law, Rand Paul said his preference is to institute a work program. “I’ve always thought the trade-off was this: If you came here illegally, you get to work, you still don’t get to vote and you really don’t get on a track to...
