Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” while insisting to “keep it peaceful,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) called for more protests around the country as rioting is underway in Los Angeles tied to the Trump administration’s deportation effort. The Connecticut Democrat lawmaker argued President Donald Trump was inciting behavior so he could invoke the Insurrection Act. “I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful,” Murphy declared. “I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening...

It’s almost hard to believe what we’re witnessing, not just in the streets of Los Angeles, but on our TV screens, where the so-called “news” media is once again doing its best impression of Baghdad Bob. As violent mobs riot against ICE, hurl objects at law enforcement, set fires, and surround federal buildings, the media is bending over backward to pretend it’s all just another peaceful day in paradise.And it’s not just national media.ABC 7 in Los Angeles is gaslighting its viewers, too. Anchor Marc Brown had the audacity to blame law enforcement for escalating the situation when it was...

The U.S. Northern Command on Sunday said hundreds of active-duty Marines are ready to deploy to provide additional protection of federal property and personnel within Los Angeles. "By direction of Secretary of Defense and in coordination with U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), approximately 2,000 California Army National Guard soldiers have been placed under federal command and control in a Title 10 status to support the protection of federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area. As USNORTHCOM’s land component command, U.S. Army North stood up Task Force 51, with a two-star general, as the ground command and control...

VIDEO"Illegal Alien" is a correct legal term which is used in official federal government documents. "Undocumented Immigrants" or "Undocumented Migrant" or "Undocumented Worker" are INCORRECT nonsense terms used by leftists to make it seem that Illegal Aliens are somehow neither illegal nor alien. It is like legitimizing Drug Dealers by calling them "Unlicensed Pharmacists." Anybody in the media using the "Undocumented" terminology as Margaret Brennan did on "Face The Nation" on Sunday while interviewing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is publicly subscribing to the extreme leftist ideology. Noem did not correct Brennan on her incorrect leftist terminology but a Master...

The violence from protesters involved in the pro-migration, foreign-flag-waving riots in Los Angeles is “escalating,” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell revealed during a press conference. During the press conference, McDonnell revealed that the violence is “getting increasingly worse and more violent” since the riots first started over the weekend. McDonnell also added that protesters were shooting “commercial grade fireworks” at LAPD officers. McDonnell also revealed that he respects U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, adding that they are a “fellow law enforcement agency.” “To the people who are not happy with the fact that ICE is in...

Thunberg’s pathetic, self-serving stunt ended with sandwiches and water. As Israel’s Foreign Ministry says, the ‘show is over’.. The picture of Greta Thunberg being offered a sandwich and a bottle of water by an IDF soldier is perfect. Here she is, smiling sheepishly, revealing the utter hollowness of her activism. .. Thunberg and her fellow passengers aboard the MV Madleen, the boat which tried to run the naval blockade of Hamas-run Gaza, have been now taken into custody by the Israeli navy. No injuries ... Israel described the Madleen as a “media provocation”, but whatever images the activists hoped to...

A couple of weeks ago, I made a post about donations. Posting again for those who may have missed the post. I suggested that if everyone who is a monthly donor increasd the amount by $5.00 a month, that would help Jim Robinsin aviod some stress in fundraising. It would be nice if he could reach the goal without having to make so many pleading requests. Thanks to all.

WASHINGTON—Democrats are launching a multimillion-dollar effort, helped by megadonor George Soros, to turn Texas into a political battleground after suffering through decades of electoral losses in the nation’s second-largest state. Texas Majority PAC, a Soros-funded PAC, will launch a “Blue Texas” initiative Monday along with the Texas Democratic Party and a group of county parties, aiming to organize tens of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates and boost turnout ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Whatever happened to the Donald Trump and Elon Musk visit to Fort Knox? You’ll recall the buzz from earlier this year. Trump and Musk loudly announced they were going to visit the U.S. bullion depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky to make sure the U.S. gold was actually there. The press was invited to tag along. Musk claimed that his DOGE team was ready to “audit” the gold bars to see that there were none missing. I had my own views on the announcement (described below) but I certainly agreed this would be the mother of all photo ops. For the...

The COVID pandemic has resulted in widespread infection and vaccination throughout the United States. According to data from USAFacts, more than 81% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. 96.4% of Americans have COVID antibodies in their blood, indicating previous infection. Most of these two groups overlap, and all vaccinated people should have COVID antibodies in their blood, as the vaccine prompts the body to produce spike proteins to elicit an immune response and facilitate antibody production. The issue is that mRNA vaccines lack an off switch, meaning that vaccinated individuals may produce...

Federal authorities moved Friday to drop a racial discrimination lawsuit against the Sheetz convenience store chain, part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to halt the use of a key tool for enforcing the country’s civil rights laws. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the top federal agency for enforcing workers rights, filed a motion in a Pennsylvania federal court to dismiss the Sheetz lawsuit, citing Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to deprioritize the use of “disparate impact liability” in civil rights enforcement. Disparate impact liability holds that policies that are neutral on their face can violate...

( Video clips at link) Nothing they have done to disrupt President Trump and his MAGA agenda has worked. Even the hundred-plus judges rulings are starting to fall by the wayside. The autopen story has crept back into the news A pro-energy group is renewing its call for an investigation into over half a dozen Biden administration executive actions related to climate that it believes should be deemed null and void due to them being signed by an autopen without any public comment from former President Joe Biden confirming his knowledge of them. Power the Future, a nonprofit organization that...

Leaked reports have surfaced, revealing that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ordered the LAPD to stand down during riots, overriding emergency protocols and blocking police from assisting federal officers. The allegations suggest that Bass ignored calls for reinforcements, preventing the LAPD’s Incident Commander from deploying aid to overwhelmed federal agents. The reports detail a direct intervention by Bass, bypassing established emergency response procedures. Instead of allowing law enforcement to act, she allegedly called the Incident Commander for a briefing, then instructed the Chief of Police on how to proceed, effectively taking control of operations. This move violated the City’s Emergency...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, who were trying to land in Gaza but were detained Monday local time without incident. The Israeli foreign ministry shared video of the activists on the boat, as IDF soldiers handed out sandwiches. The foreign ministry dubbed the boat the “selfie yacht,” mocking the passengers as useful idiots for Hamas. Thunberg made a nearly seamless transition from a youthful career in radical climate change activism to radical anti-Israel activism, becoming a fellow traveler with antisemitic groups, keffiyeh and all.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) slammed Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) push for Russian sanctions, calling his bill “self-defeating economic warfare.” Graham’s sanctions bill on Russia would impose a 500 percent tariff on imports from any country that buys Russian oil, gas, uranium and other products. The legislation has more than 80 co-sponsors in the Senate, potentially making it veto-proof. But GOP senators are waiting on President Trump to move ahead with the legislation, and Trump said this week he hasn’t even looked at it. Trump has also said he doesn’t want to undermine the chances of a peace deal between Russia...
