The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's deportations to third-world countries can continue without limited notice, blocking an injunction by a little judge who sought to wrest immigration policy away from the executive. The high court slapped down Judge Brian Murphy’s order, but like James Boasberg, another disgrace to the bench, he’s ignoring the ruling.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon promised to hold criminals accountable for bombing and vandalizing pro-life pregnancy centers with the same law formerly used to jail pro-lifers. Dhillon’s Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice (DOJ) aims to bring “numerous” such cases using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, she told The Daily Signal in a Thursday interview. The Biden administration primarily used the FACE Act to prosecute pro-life activists for peacefully protesting at abortion clinics, despite the law also protecting pregnancy resource centers and houses of worship. “While the statute is in place,...

Freshman Rep. Pat Harrigan introduced new legislation to ratchet up penalties on spies who funnel US secrets to foreign adversaries like China, Iran, North Korea and Russia. The Foreign Adversary Federal Offense (FAFO) Act sets a mandatory minimum prison time of 10 years as well as a fine of up to $5 million for perps caught engaging in economic espionage for adversaries — and raises the maximum sentence to 20 years if it impacts critical infrastructure. “When individuals steal defense secrets or compromise our critical infrastructure on behalf of China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, they are committing an act...

BOISE – Governor Brad Little and other members of the Board of Examiners approved a request Tuesday to tap up to $300,000 from the Governor’s emergency fund to support the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in transporting hundreds of dangerous illegal alien criminals out of Idaho jails. The action follows the Governor’s announcement earlier this month that the Idaho State Police (ISP) entered into an agreement with ICE under the 287(g) program. In a letter Governor Little sent to ISP Colonel Bill Gardiner in May requesting transportation cost estimates, Governor Little said, “An untold number of illegal immigrants poured...

Under pressure from President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu significantly scaled back planned retaliation against Iran's violation of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli and U.S. officials said Tuesday. -snip- "When I say 12 hours [of ceasefire], you don't go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them," Trump said. "I am not happy with Israel going out this morning because of one rocket that was shot [by Iran], perhaps by mistake." -snip- A White House source said Trump spoke to Netanyahu in "an exceptionally firm and direct way" about his objections to the Israeli strike. "The...

The Left’s Inverted Worldview.So Iran and its proxies can terrorize anyone, anywhere—and we’re just supposed to watch? Let’s be clear: Trump didn’t terrorize. He shut down the world's most dangerous terrorist regime before it could go nuclear. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not a misunderstood regional power. It is a theocratic dictatorship that funds Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. It executes women for protesting, crushes dissent, and shouts “Death to America and Israel” from its own parliament. And yet, the fringe left—infected by decades of ideological indoctrination—calls Trump the terrorist. Why? Because their worldview runs on System 1 emotion,...

Chicago activists welcomed word of a “complete and total ceasefire” in the war between Israel and Iran at a downtown protest Monday evening but said they were cautiously optimistic and urged continued agitation. The protest at Federal Plaza attracted about 200 people despite Monday’s extreme heat. Demonstrators called for the United States to stop bombing Iranian nuclear sites, among other demands. Many condemned U.S. military aid to Israel, supporting its war in Iran and also in Gaza, which has lasted nearly two years. President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire...

The #NeverTrump movement just got another backer. Conservative radio host Mark Levin threatened on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump in the general election, should he be the nominee. Levin, a strong supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that Trump’s allies had made the billionaire Republican front-runner toxic. …“If they piss me off one more time, I’m going to urge millions and millions of you, should he get the nomination, not to vote for him either,” he said.

Kroger shoppers, take note: Your beloved neighborhood grocery store may not be there much longer. One of America's largest grocery chains just announced it plans to close around 60 stores across the U.S. over the next 18 months, citing "modest financial benefits" in its latest earnings report. Kroger, which currently operates nearly 1,239 grocery stores in 16 states under two dozen different brand names, has been in hot water over the past six months after attempting a $25 billion merger with rival Albertsons. Government regulators denied the deal over antitrust concerns, and now, Albertsons is suing Kroger—and vice versa—in a...

(CNN) — In the interest of carrying out more of President Donald Trump’s promised mass deportations, officials in Florida this week started construction on a migrant detention facility they’re billing as “efficient” and “low-cost” – because mother nature will provide much of the security. “Alligator Alcatraz,” as Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier calls it, is being erected on a little-used airstrip in the Everglades, the vast expanse of marshes and swamps that covers much of southern Florida and hosts a dizzying array of wildlife, from hundreds of bird species to bobcats, panthers, crocodiles and alligators. “You don’t need to invest...

The ceasefire announced by President Trump between Israel and Iran on June 23rd is not a genuine peace but a temporary, tactical pause in a long-term conflict. This “lull in the thunder” mirrors the aftermath of the 2020 Soleimani strike, where a de-escalation of direct attacks gave way to a continued shadow war.

New York is about to be conquered by an Islamic Communist named Zohran Mamdami who is favored to win election as mayor. Mamdani is the current darling of the left- kind of a New York version of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He is 33 years old and was born in Uganda. He came to the US at age 7 and only became a US citizen eight years ago. Look at Mamdani, we do not want this jihadist as NYC mayor. https://t.co/vuh7EJga5u pic.twitter.com/J9oLA2MvU0 — Paul A.

President Trump's second-term agenda has been careful not to cast doubt on his signature first-term achievement, the development of COVID-19 vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, which congressional Republicans continue to laud and even claim was sabotaged by Pfizer to deny Trump a consecutive term despite his base souring on the therapeutics. A new preprint study on mRNA COVID vaccines in early pregnancy, coauthored by top advisers to Trump's Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may fuel the splintering of the Make America Healthy Again movement as the jabs' opponents ramp up pressure on Health and...

If you’ve paid any attention to global headlines, you might have noticed something deeply unsettling: Muslims, as a general trend, often seem to harbor an unusual hostility toward dogs. While the rest of the world hails dogs as “man’s best friend,” in many Islamic societies, they’re treated as filth, vermin, or worse — literal devils.I’ve written about this before (see links below), but in case you’re new to the topic, consider just a few recent developments from the Islamic world:Dog Deaths, Abuse, and Massacres: A Global TrendMay 2025, UK: A Muslim man running a dog rescue shelter called Save a...

Human footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico, reported in 2021, show that human activity occurred in the Americas as long as 23,000 years ago – about 10,000 years earlier than previously thought. A new U of A study supports the 2021 findings. Credit: David Bustos/White Sands National Park ====================================================================== Evidence buried in gypsum dunes suggests humans arrived far earlier than expected. Radiocarbon dates from three materials agree. Vance Holliday quickly accepted an invitation to do geological research at White Sands in New Mexico. The area, located just west of Alamogordo, is known for its surreal landscape—endless rolling...

Steve Bannon, a disgusting fraud. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you, Bannon, a confessed and convicted fraudster has to say. You’re a liar. You cheated how many people? At bottom, you’re a certified disgusting fraud. And it shows every time you open your big mouth. You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran’s nukes. 80% of Americans backed the operation. You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy. Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was not impressed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s sudden ability to keep his mouth shut about U.S. military plans. Newsmax host Todd Starnes offered his congratulations to Hegseth Saturday for pulling off sweeping strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities without giving up the game. “Not a single leak. Well done, @SecDef,” Starnes wrote in a post on X. The New York Democrat didn’t see that as quite the cause for celebration. “This is like applauding a grown man for being able to wipe their behind,” Cortez responded in a post on X. “Not exactly a vote of...

As the specter of another World War looms large, people worldwide are pondering potential safe havens should Russia escalate from nuclear warfare threats to actual missile launches. This comes in the wake of Iran and trading missile strikes as the tensions in the Middle East threaten to boil over into all-out war. Russia and China backing Iran diplomatically or militarily—and the U.S. aligning with Israel—raise the specter of a proxy world war. The rapid escalation—from Iran-Israel missile exchanges to U.S. strikes and Iranian counterstrikes—fuels real anxiety about a broader war. Experts warn that any step into nuclear territory or deeper...
