Federal immigration agents in Chicago found themselves in a dangerous spot over the weekend when protesters rammed their vehicles and boxed them in, leading to a shooting and arrests. Border Patrol agents fired on an armed woman during the confrontation in Broadview, a suburb west of the city, where crowds had gathered to oppose ICE operations. Multiple sources confirm that Chicago police officers were explicitly told not to assist, despite urgent calls for backup from the trapped agents. HOLY CRAPChicago police were ordered NOT TO ASSIST ICE when they called for help while surrounded by throngs of violent, dangerous rioters.@JBPritzker...

Plans are under way to try him in the International Criminal Court. This time he can strike first. Before his second term began, President Trump was prosecuted repeatedly in state court, federal court and the Senate. After it ends, he could face trial in another venue, the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The U.S. didn’t sign the Rome Statute and therefore doesn’t belong to the ICC, but the court can find a jurisdictional hook in actions the administration has taken abroad in ICC member states. The strikes on Venezuelan narcoterror smuggling boats provide one possible avenue. Shortly after the...

A British forklift driver who turned into a millionaire overnight suffered a life-threatening health scare after months of nonstop partying — forcing him to rethink his post-jackpot lifestyle, according to a report. Adam Lopez, 39, went from having nearly $17 in his bank account to having over $1.3 million on hand after winning a scratch-off lottery in July, BBC reported. By September, Lopez was in the back of an ambulance, suffering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism, the outlet reported. “It became apparent about three weeks ago … with a blood clot in my leg which spread to my lungs,” he...

@RealAlexJones This is what residents of Dearborn are subjected to 5x a day, beginning at sunrise. The Islamic call to prayer is the equivalent of planting the flag on a captured nation or p*ssing on a slave to demonstrate total control. Meanwhile, the left demanded church bells, be banned across the West and we sheepishly complied..

The second Trump administration has reversed the burdensome restrictions on the export of firearms and accessories imposed by the Biden administration in April 2024.During the first Trump administration, the regulatory burden on the export of firearms and accessories was significantly reduced. Much of this was done by transferring the application for export process from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of State to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The BIS issued regulations to comply with the change.On April 30, 2024, during the Biden administration, the BIS published an interim...

Portland’s left-wing mobs and officials are waging a neo-Confederate-style rebellion—defying federal law, protecting illegal aliens, and turning the city into a sanctuary for anarchy. In blue cities across America—Portland, Oregon, especially—often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens. Some 10 million or more illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. during the Biden years—illegally and thus without criminal or health checks. Neither Antifa nor liberal urban America objected to such a flagrant disregard for the law. But both are now as intent on...

Here is the current Speaker of the House in Virginia, in a church pulpit, telling congregants to ignore Jay Jones's call for the assassination of the prior Speaker and murder of his kids because…politics. Where is The Bulwark? Where are Dem leaders?

A firefighter was accused of stalking after she allegedly dumped 75 "possibly used" tampons onto her ex-boyfriend's lawn when she learned that he was dating a new woman. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office was contacted by a woman on September 30 after she and her boyfriend woke up to find a pile of tampons on their front lawn that were "stained red as if they were possibly used," according to a probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime. Police reviewed security camera recordings that showed a pickup truck driving past the house at around 10 p.m. on September 29, per...

Welcome to the Unraveling the Scriptures channel. Did you know that in Sodom, women dressed in garments so light and translucent that almost nothing was hidden from the eyes of those who beheld them? On nights of celebration, it was common for them to adorn their bodies with pigments made from liquid gold, creating designs that shimmerred when touched by the silvery light of the moon. With every movement, these reflections transformed the female figures into almost supernatural apparitions, a mixture of sensuality and mystery, as if they themselves were part of the cosmic spectacle unfolding above them.

For thousands of Indians who move to the United States in pursuit of education, career growth, and stability, the American dream often represents more than just financial success — it stands for freedom, opportunity, and personal achievement. But as immigration rules tighten and job markets fluctuate, many find that this dream can unravel overnight. The story of one 32-year-old Indian worker, who spent four years building a life in the US only to face sudden job loss and visa uncertainty, reveals how fragile this dream can be. The worker, who moved to the US in 2021 on an F1 student...

The Left is waging a deliberate, asymmetrical war on God, Christianity and Judaism, the family, and the country. One front in this war is being waged on law and order, and it's eroding the foundation of our republic one lenient ruling at a time. Lady Justice is wearing a blue blindfold, winking at criminals who align with the radical Left while slamming the gavel down on anyone who dares wave an American flag or enforce the law. This two-tiered system is being fueled by activist judges and enablers in sanctuary cities who punish conservatives with draconian sentences for misdemeanors, while...

An 18-year-old man is facing felony charges after allegedly terrorizing a DePaul University student in a prolonged robbery and extortion scheme that began aboard a Red Line train in Lincoln Park and ended in a South Side alley. In a detention filing, prosecutors said Ricky Willis and another man who remains at large boarded a southbound Red Line train at Argyle in the early hours of September 6. When they reached Fullerton, an 18-year-old DePaul student boarded the train. They backed him into a corner and demanded money while threatening to kill him, according to prosecutors. After gaining control of...

France's Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned, less than a day after his cabinet was unveiled. "The conditions were not fulfilled for me to carry on as prime minister," Lecornu said on Monday morning, and criticised the unwillingness by political parties to reach compromises. The Elysée palace made the announcement after Lecornu met President Emmanuel Macron for an hour on Monday morning. The shock move comes only 26 days after Lecornu was appointed prime minister following the collapse of the previous government of François Bayrou. Parties across the board in the National Assembly had fiercely criticised the composition of Lecornu's...

“‘God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.’ The woman said to Him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am He’” (John 4:24–26). The phrase “God is spirit” is the classic biblical definition of the nature of God. Despite the heretical teaching of false cults, God is not an exalted man (Num. 23:19), “for a spirit does not have flesh and bones” (Luke 24:39). He is “the invisible God”...

I live in Virginia which means I, like my fellow Virginians, are in the midst of our gubernatorial race. This weekend, we and the rest of the country got a good view of a deep-seated problem in politics in this state. Jay Jones, a Democrat running for the Attorney General position this fall, was exposed for the radical that he truly is. As we all read the hate-filled messages, we also took note of the milquetoast response by the Left. For those of you that may missed it, Jay Jones called for death of Republican House of Delegates leader Todd...

A SIKH GRANDMOTHER who had lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years has been deported to New Delhi, India, after spending a week in what her attorney called “barbaric” conditions at a private ICE detention center in Georgia. “There was no rationale to detain Bibi Harjit Kaur,” Deepak Ahluwalia, Kaur’s attorney, told American Community Media in a Sept. 24 interview. “It’s all part of their effort to fill beds.” “Her detention was nothing short of barbaric,” said Ahluwalia. “That type of treatment would affect most people. They chose to do this to a 73-year-old woman with disabilities and...
