U.S. — The LA immigration riots have come to a swift and sudden end following a decisive nuclear strike ordered by President Donald Trump. At precisely 6 AM on Tuesday, an American Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bomber dropped a 500 kiloton atomic bomb on Downtown Los Angeles, destroying all violent rioters and also everything else. Pentagon officials described the blast as having more power than 500,000 tons of TNT or 20-30 times more powerful than the detonations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Initial casualty estimates are estimated to be between 500,000 and 1,000,000 with up to 200,000 more expected...

Once seen as one of the rising stars of the GOP, U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw now is facing a growing list of Republicans who want to knock him out of office. Already, six have filed to run against the Houston Republican in the March 2026 GOP primary, and state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, could soon join the list. "We're trying to decide if it's best for us to continue our service in Austin or in Washington," Toth said in an interview on Monday. He said he and his wife expect to come to a decision by early July on...

The American Republic was built on the rule of law, national sovereignty, and the consent of the governed. Yet today, these foundational principles are being eroded from within—not by a foreign invader, but by sanctuary cities operating in open defiance of federal immigration law. These self-declared "safe zones" for illegal aliens have become soft targets for criminal exploitation, hotbeds of cartel trafficking, and sanctuaries not for the oppressed—but for the lawless.Let’s be clear: this is not about compassion. It’s about control. Sanctuary cities represent a dangerous power grab by left-leaning municipalities that prioritize political ideology over national unity. When cities...

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- While the U.S. Department of Homeland Security continues to claim ICE agents are going only after violent undocumented criminals, non-violent migrants are being rounded up and deported just the same in what has become a controversial part of the Trump administration's immigration policy. So exactly who are the people ICE is arresting in these raids in Southern California? 7 on Your Side Investigates spent the day trying to verify the backgrounds of some of the names ICE has provided. One person now in ICE custody is 49-year-old Cuong Chanh Phan. The feds say the Vietnamese national's...

As anti-ICE protests spread across the country, protesters in Atlanta, Georgia, were seen being tear-gassed after they reportedly threw fireworks at police officers. WSB-TV 2 Atlanta reported that “hundreds” of protesters gathered for a protest hosted by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) along Buford Highway. PSL hosted the protest to show support for the ongoing riots in Los Angeles that have involved demonstrators looting businesses, setting fire to and vandalizing Waymo self-driving vehicles, and tearing up sidewalks and throwing rocks at law enforcement officials over an overpass. Per the outlet, “by the end of the night, there was...

As federal immigration enforcement sweeps through areas of Southern California — spurring protests in downtown Los Angeles, Santa Ana, San Bernardino and Pasadena — clergy leaders and community members across diverse religious traditions are turning to their faith in times of fear and uncertainty.

Nigel Farage has described the burka as “anti-British” as he called for a “debate” on banning face coverings in the UK. The Reform UK leader issued his strongest comments yet about the issue on Tuesday as he unveiled the party’s new chairman, Dr David Bull. It comes after Zia Yusuf, the former chairman, resigned last Thursday after one of Reform’s MPs raised banning the burka in Parliament. Mr Yusuf said it was “dumb” to talk about the issue because outlawing face coverings was not party policy. However, on Tuesday, Mr Yusuf appeared at a Reform UK press conference and said...

Donald Trump is set to deploy ICE tactical units to five Democrat-run cities amid the riots in Los Angeles as Gavin Newsom nearly broke into tears while blaming his administration for inciting the California chaos. The military-style units are set to storm New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and northern Virginia, MSNBC reported. Four of those five are heavily blue cities, while northern Virginia contains the Democrat enclave of Alexandria. The ICE raids have sparked protests that brought Los Angeles to its knees, as the mayor has put the city on lockdown from 8pm to 6am this morning. The reports...

Yeah, my cousin's getting married down in TJ so he calls immigration on himself. They come down with a big bus and take the whole wedding party down to TJ. Plus they get fed lunch man......

Someone tell Gavin Newsom he’s not the president of the United States. No one was obligated to carry his little address, but he’s a Democrat, anti-Trump, and pro-illegal alien, so some outlets did. Supposedly, he texted Fox News’ Sean Hannity to carry his broadcast, but there was no audio. It was a disaster. It was almost as if the political gods were screaming, ‘not ready for primetime’ concerning Newsom, who got slapped down by a judge regarding his emergency motion to block federal troops from being deployed in Los Angeles. The city is again on fire, with Newsom among those...

The U.S. Army is giving its soldiers a high-tech edge in the fight against drones, and it’s called SMASH. During a live-fire training exercise on June 6 in Germany, a soldier with the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment used the SMASH 2000L smart scope mounted on an M4A1 rifle to target drones in the sky. The SMASH 2000L, made by Israeli company Smart Shooter Ltd., is no ordinary sight. It uses cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to track targets and decides the perfect time to fire, according to reporting from Army Recognition. Once a drone is locked in, the system...

It's getting ever harder for sane people to deny what "vaccination" does—and not to see that (real) scientists, and some pols, are starting to close in on the perpetrators of this stunning crime Senate Report Exposes How Federal Health Officials 'Downplayed' COVID Vaccine Risks, Failed to Warn Public May 21, 2025 The records show how U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials under Biden avoided issuing a formal warning to the American public despite a safety signal that the COVID-19 vaccines could cause myocarditis and pericarditis, especially in young men.

Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids and prompted President Donald Trump to mobilize National Guard troops and Marines have begun to spread across the country, with more planned into the weekend. From Seattle and Austin to Chicago and Washington, D.C., marchers have chanted slogans, carried signs against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and snarled traffic through downtown avenues and outside federal offices. While many have been peaceful, some have resulted in clashes with law enforcement as officers made arrests and used chemical irritants to disperse crowds. Activists are planning more and even larger demonstrations...

Many seniors across the country would consider their senior living community a safe haven. But for some, these properties turn out to be money traps right when their personal finances are most fragile. Martha Bray, an 84-year-old Vietnam veteran, found herself trapped in such an unfortunate situation. After 10 years of living at River Glen of St. Charles, a senior living community near Chicago that she describes as her “dream” home, the property was acquired by two investment companies that swiftly raised rents. She told NBC News that her monthly maintenance surged from $1,395 to $6,500 — a 365% increase....

The second season of Live Action’s “Face to Face” series continues, and in the latest episode, brings together two groups of post-abortive parents.

But she “thought [abortion] was normal”...

The United States and China have agreed on a framework to implement their trade truce, officials on both sides said Wednesday, after concluding two days of talks in London to defuse tensions and ease export restrictions that threaten to disrupt global manufacturing. American and Chinese negotiators agreed “in principle” to a framework on how to implement the consensus reached by the previous round of talks in Geneva last month and a phone call between the two countries’ leaders last week, China’s trade negotiator Li Chenggang told reporters in London, according to Chinese state broadcaster CGTN. Officials on both sides will...
