Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly authorized sending as many as 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges. The move was reported by the Associated Press, based on what the wire service said was an Aug. 27 memo it reviewed. The military will begin sending groups of 150 attorneys – military and civilian — as early as next week, the memo also states. The move comes as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration, which has resulted in arrests, deportations and related court issues. There are now as many as 3.5 million cases...

[Catholic Caucus] To Hand on What Has Been Received: The Mission and Challenges of the SSPX in Our TimesA guest article by Charles Bradshaw.The SSPX’s recent pilgrimage to Rome has been the cause of some media attention not least because of mounting expectations regarding future Episcopal Consecrations. The inevitable skeletons have come out of the cupboard again alongside those who claim to have insight into just about everything Archbishop Lefebvre did or didn’t do. However, whilst the future consecrations remain a vitally important and pressing issue, what has been overlooked is how the Society of St Pius X is meeting...

When President Donald Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, the topic was the weighty issue of ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But at one point, Trump took a provocative diversion into domestic politics. Zelensky noted that, in his country, the law doesn’t allow for elections during periods of martial law.

Epping Council has been denied the chance to appeal a ruling to the Supreme Court over asylum seekers being housed at the Bell Hotel. The Essex hotel has become the focal point of protests, and counter-protests, in recent weeks after an asylum seeker staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a teenager. He denies the allegation. Epping Forest District Council was last month granted a temporary injunction to stop asylum seekers from being housed at the accommodation - but this was overturned on Friday after legal challenges from the Home Office and the hotel's owner, Somani Hotels. The council has...

Sanctuary city residents are very upset that ICE is evicting illegal residents from their neighborhoods and business complexes without warning. More show notes. A lot of illegals working at car washes. More protesters finding out that walls work.

It seems like just yesterday that Ilhan Omar said that it's "categorically false" to call her a millionaire. Well, OK, it wasn't yesterday but it was back in February of this year when she cried poverty. "So if you are going to lie on something that is public, maybe try checking my public financial statements and you will see I barely have thousands let alone millions," I have written extensively about Ilhan Omar. In 2019 I described as "A cancer in the House of Representatives." Anti-American, homophobe, anti-Semite, intolerant math failure. She is a cancer in the House. She once...

In 1981, following the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan's life, one of the first people who visited the president in his hospital room was Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill. ... Zohran Mamdani, the avowed socialist leading the race for New York mayor, may give Republicans the perfect foil to run against in 2026. He's so outrageously extreme that the GOP won't even have to exaggerate that much to portray him as dangerous and antithetical to American values and norms. Naturally, Democrats are sweating bullets and looking for a way to hide Mamdani before the midterms somehow. Their problem is...

Over the past several days, wild rumors about President Trump’s supposed demise swept across social media, with leftist commentators openly salivating at the thought. The frenzy had a simple spark: Trump hadn’t appeared in public for a few days, and that absence was enough to send the online left into a rapture. ... Behind all the noise, it’s important to note one thing: Donald Trump remained present and active. The president appeared on Saturday morning as he left the White House for a round of golf in Sterling, Va., accompanied by his granddaughter, Kai. This should have ended the rumors....

Four candidates and two backup candidates found dead, apparently natural causes. Ralph Lang age 66, Wolfgang Klinger age 72, Wolfgang Slates age 59 heart attack, Stephan Belendez age 59 natural causes, Renee Herferd, young, kidney failure, Patrick Taitzer suicide.

https://babylonbee.com/news/english-bobbies-race-past-5-stabbings-to-tackle-offensive-social-media-poster LONDON — In a courageous display of British defense of law and order, English bobbies were seen racing past five stabbings to tackle an offensive social media poster. Eyewitnesses report that a crack team of constabulary laddies dexterously avoided five illegal migrants who were engaged in bloody mass stabbing episodes as the British officers rushed to take down a man about to share an offensive meme on X. "Oi mate! Gor, that's a racist meme you got there, innit?" one of the constables was heard to say, sidestepping a Muslim stabber and tackling the dangerous social media poster. "Now...

Over the Labor Day weekend, more than 50 people were shot, and seven were killed in Chicago. It's as bad as it gets, and for a blue city in a blue state, it's not surprising.Chicago is also one of the cities that has vehemently opposed President Trump's plan to crack down on crime. Mayor Brandon Johnson called jailing criminals racist and immoral and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker claimed Trump's plan is to really 'interfere' with the 2026 elections. A Democratic councilman in Chicago broke ranks with his party and said Johnson should take Trump up on the offer (don't hold...

Two opposing political groups stood on Jackson Middle School’s lawn. One group, decked out in rainbow colors, sporting bright pink socks, sea-green hair, and trans flags, held their signs up in the air, presenting them both to the cars passing by and to the conservative group behind them. But the group behind them, in the process of holding a press conference on the lawn, was not there to oppose transgender ideology. They were there to hold the Fairfax County School Board accountable during an ongoing investigation by the Virginia State Police. The investigation began when Walter Curt, an independent investigative...

Jim Walden has suspended his campaign for New York City mayor, his camp announced Tuesday. “For months I have been steadfast in my view that, unless there is a one-on-one race in November, a Trojan Horse will take control of City Hall. I cannot spend more public money in the futile hope I am the one called to battle,” the beyond-long-shot independent tweeted. A rep for the former federal prosecutor’s campaign did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post, but a source close to the situation blamed the suspension on “personal problems. A recent poll showed Walden garnering...

A Georgia state court ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to conduct a new search for records related to her criminal case against President Donald Trump after finding that her search methods were inadequate. The recent order from a Fulton County Superior Court judge stems from a months-long pursuit by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch to obtain communications between Willis' office and the Jan. 6 select committee, as well as former special counsel Jack Smith’s team. The order is the latest setback in the case for Willis after a judge ordered her office in January to pay about $22,000...

It’s filed. Your congressman can now sign the discharge petition to force a vote on binding legislation to release the Epstein files.

The municipality of Molenbeek, a town in the Brussels metropolitan area known for being a hotbed of jihadists, is once again making headlines. During a city council meeting, a veiled Socialist councillor, complaining about derogatory comments made about her online by her political opponents, suggested that Belgians unhappy with the creeping Islamisation of their city should “get out.” This blatant reversal of the usual discourse against the foreigner has sparked outrage, confirming a growing sentiment among Europeans that they are no longer welcome in their own country. The comments were made by Saliha Raïs, a Socialist politician from the Vooruit...
