Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has revealed that Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) was “part of a violent mob of protestors attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement as they executed a criminal search warrant at a marijuana facility” and that he doxxed an ICE agent by handing the individual’s business card to members of the violent group. According to ICE, the doxxed agent was also “left bloody” after the mob hurled rocks at agents who were doing their job. The officers were conducting criminal warrant operations at marijuana farms operated by the Glass House Brands Inc. in Carpinteria and Camarillo when...

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly ready and willing to testify before the U.S. Congress about the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire — and the powerful men who participated in it. According to a Daily Mail report, Maxwell, 63, has not been offered a plea deal, nor has she been contacted by any U.S. officials about providing testimony — something she would reportedly “welcome.” “She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” a source close to Maxwell told the news outlet. “No one from the government has ever asked her. She...

A 15-year-old Queens armed mugging suspect on an e-bike fleeing NYPD cops was fatally struck by an unlicensed hit-and-run Lexus driver with an atrocious driving record after crossing into Long Island, police said Sunday. The teen was headed east on his e-bike on Bryant Ave. when a 2015 Lexus GX 460 driven by 28-year-old Ruyan Ali slammed into him while going south on Lakeville Road, Nassau County police said.

The attack happened on Tuesday evening when the victim's parents had gone out briefly. The perpetrator, legally residing in Italy and employed at the hotel where the family was staying, took advantage of the situation to attack and rape her. After the assault, the girl called her father to tell him what had happened. When he returned to the hotel, he spotted the man and attacked him. The victim's father was subsequently arrested...

There are 123 billionaires living in New York City. Zohran Mamdani, the socially and economically advantaged socialist boy who’s apparently never held a real job and is busy stoking class warfare as he campaigns to be the city’s next mayor, says they shouldn’t exist. Voters need to know that their city can get along just fine without Mamdani. But it would fall into a raging hellhole without billionaires. “I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — President Donald Trump on Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of a failed attempt on his life, joining family, friends and close advisers to witness Chelsea's dominating FIFA Club World Cup final victory over Paris Saint-Germain. The president joined the players on the field after the match to congratulate the tournament's outstanding performers, present PSG players with their runner-up medals and hand Chelsea their championship trophy. "It was an upset today I guess," Trump told reporters after flying back to Washington following Chelsea's victory. "But it was a great match." Trump and first lady Melania Trump were...

America’s oldest gun control law is once again in peril... President Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill has brought a big, beautiful opportunity to Second Amendment advocates. By zeroing out the tax on certain guns and accessories mandated by the National Firearms Act, this controversial legislation raises a crucial constitutional question: Since a $0 tax generates no revenue, is it even a tax? Many argue it is not – and, therefore, the NFA is no longer a tax law. That’s precisely the approach taken by a new lawsuit from Gun Owners of America and several other enthusiasts of the right to...

If I'm not mistaken, 483 million ounces of silver were sold yesterday, within an hour, in an effort to stop this breakout in silver. This short position is now completely underwater, which means that whoever sold those ounces was either an extremely bad trader, or had no intention of making money in the first place. And since 483 million ounces is 57% of the annual mine supply, I'm assuming there is no physical silver to back this position. This amount is not available for sale, anywhere.….

A Las Vegas security guard was sentenced to spend between five and 14 years in prison for fatally shooting a customer outside a 7-Eleven convenience store during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kegia Mitchell tearfully apologized on Thursday after she entered an Alford plea for the August 2020 death of 56-year-old Thomas Martin. “I didn’t mean to take this man’s life, I did not,” Mitchell cried out in court. “I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart.” The deal means she doesn’t plead guilty to the murder of Martin but acknowledges that prosecutors may have enough evidence...

Scientists predict up to 100 invisible galaxies may orbit the Milky Way, hiding just beyond our current detection limits. Credit: Shutterstock *********************************************************************** Astronomers may be on the verge of uncovering a long-lost galactic population. Using ultra-high-resolution simulations and sophisticated modeling, researchers at Durham University predict that the Milky Way could be surrounded by up to 100 previously undetected satellite galaxies. These faint, elusive “orphan galaxies” may have been stripped of their dark matter halos, making them nearly invisible to current telescopes. But with the advent of powerful new instruments like the Rubin Observatory, scientists believe we’re finally approaching the ability...

U.S. — CNN took time out of its broadcast today to mark the one-year anniversary of the time President Trump fell over at a rally after some loud popping noises. "The nation will always remember the startling images of Trump falling over and hitting his ear," said Anderson Cooper. "The big oaf just tumbled over, surprised as he was by some innocuous popping sounds. While we have never confirmed what the noises were, or how Trump got a cut on his ear, the day will go down in history nonetheless." CNN displayed several iconic images that came out of that...

Donald J. Trump and his allies have begun investigations to support their claims that Joseph R. Biden Jr. was incapacitated and his staff conspired to take presidential actions in his name. Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is escalating his battle against Republican claims that he might not have been in control of high-profile clemency decisions issued under his name at the end of his term and, more generally, that his cognitive state impaired his functioning in office. In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Biden said that he had orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued...

Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield was not entertained when he visited the Colosseum in Rome. Hield was at an NBA Summer League game to watch the young players on the Warriors’ roster take on the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. The Warriors won the game 103-93, but it was Hield’s comments on his trip to Italy that caught the attention of the internet. "I was a little disappointed when I went to the Colosseum because I watched ‘Gladiator’ and I thought Maximus was a real warrior," he explained on the ESPN broadcast. "So, I’m going into the Colosseum screaming,...

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former National Security Advisor and a relentless advocate for truth and justice, has issued a fiery warning to the Trump administration and the American people: the Epstein scandal isn’t going away — and it must be addressed head-on. In a powerful post directed to President Trump on X, Gen. Flynn wrote: “@realDonaldTrump please understand the EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away. If the administration doesn’t address the massive number of unanswered questions about Epstein, especially the ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY ELITES (it is very clear that abuse occurred), then moving forward on so...

As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty: The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false. Epstein’s conduct, both the criminal and the merely despicable, had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel. Epstein never worked for the Mossad. This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t. They just make things up, say it with confidence...

If he didn't want to be noticed he sure wore the wrong outfit. Trans woman or man in drag (not sure which) robs bakery with two different weapons. Store employees fight back against him. Then police cam catching him.

A California ex-cop who allegedly partied and took Disney trips while collecting hefty disability checks is being sued for the $600,000 she ripped off from the city. Nicole Brown, 39, was charged with 15 felonies in May after authorities found she was faking a disability for an extensive leave from the Westminster Police Department, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Westminster officials ... said they are seeking 'repayment of all disability and medical payments, benefits, and other funds unlawfully obtained by Brown.' 'This former police officer has betrayed the public trust,' Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen said in a...
