They know they’re going to get wrecked by the normies; that’s conservatives and anyone else who isn’t Trump deranged. The Left’s policies are niche, illiberal, nonsensical, and laughably set up for total failure. So, when it was discovered that the suspect who shot two National Guardsmen was an Afghan national who overstayed his visa, they had to say something. There isn’t much, which is why this is a trash pivot, but they made it, nonetheless. It’s not the fault of the terrorist who committed this attack; it’s Trump’s for deploying the Guard in the first place. I’m not kidding. Without...

Old video clips of Vice President JD Vance have resurfaced across social media following a horrific terror attack linked to an Afghan refugee on Wednesday— and for good reason. They provide an illuminating light following a violent strike on two National Guard members serving in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Both National Guardsmen remain in critical condition as of the latest reporting, after being ambushed by a gunman identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Lakanwal, according to CNN, entered the United States on a temporary visa issued to him in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program designed to coordinate...

Bruce is gonna build a “wall.” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is planning to install high-tech surveillance along Long Island’s border with New York City when Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani takes office. Blakeman — a Republican eyeing a run for the gubernatorial nomination in 2026 — told Fox News in a recent interview that he’s directing police and county workers to line Nassau’s border with Queens with cameras, plate readers and facial recognition tech. “We are doing everything necessary to make sure that Nassau County is safe,” Blakeman told the outlet, calling Mamdani’s policies “pro-criminal” and “anti-American.” The county executive’s office...

President Trump says he’ll ‘permanently pause migration’ from all ‘Third World Countries’ President Trump said late Thursday that he intends to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries,” to allow the US to “fully recover” in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post. “Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many,” Trump wrote late Thursday night. “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and...

Leftists are so sick that when two National Guardsmen are shot by an Afghan welcomed into the U.S. by Biden, they blame President Trump for having deployed the Guard to D.C. for badly needed crime abatement. Said deployment worked marvelously. Murders, robberies, carjackings, etc. dropped massively. But our left is doing everything in its well financed power to see Trump run out of office by any means necessary. Leftists are not bothered by the escalating crime. Can we say “color revolution”? Exactly who is behind the Seditious Six’s traitorous video? John Brennan? Obama? Who knows? But something is very, very...

Anti-corruption units have raided the home and office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, in an unwelcome distraction for Kyiv officials as they battle to defeat Russia’s invasion and persuade US officials to accommodate their concerns in peace proposals. Two national agencies fighting entrenched corruption in Ukraine said they searched Yermak’s office. Yermak, a powerful figure in Ukraine and a key participant in talks with the United States, confirmed they also searched his apartment. “The investigators are facing no obstacles,” Yermak wrote on the messaging app Telegram. He added that he was cooperating fully with them...

Sarah Beckstrom, one of the West Virginia National Guard members shot in a cowardly ambush by an Afghan refugee Wednesday, has died. The 20-year-old’s grieving father confirmed she died of her injuries in a heartwrenching Facebook post Thursday. “My baby girl has passed to glory. If I don’t talk to you don’t be offend[ed] this has been a horrible tragedy,” Gary Beckstrom posted just after 6 p.m. President Trump also announced the young Guard member’s passing during a Thanksgiving evening call to half a dozen military units to mark the holiday. “She’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us....

The legendary Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who died four hundred years ago, described the warrior mindset: “To win any battle, you must fight as if you are already dead.” The kensei samurai didn’t want his students to be reckless with their lives. He wanted them to fight without fear or hesitation. Sometimes we look at all the problems in our world and become overwhelmed. Our constitutional Republic is under attack from enemies both inside and beyond our borders. A vast, unaccountable bureaucracy raging from D.C. has stamped out the Constitution’s design for limited government, and today’s corrupt politicians have abandoned...

An incredible image captures the bizarre UFO–like ring floating above Possagno, a tiny town in the foothills of the Italian Alps. The photograph was taken by photographer Valter Binotto, who watched as the glowing structure flashed in the sky at 10:45 local time on November 17. A photographer has captured a baffling image of a red UFO–like halo floating over the small Italian town of Possagno This ring is likely a structure known as an 'emission of light and very low–frequency perturbations due to electromagnetic pulse sources', or ELVEs for short. These are rings of red or green light created...

Politics will not succeed in rehabilitating the narrative of man-made, CO2-based climate change to suppress, once again, both the dialogue with the AfD and the critical debate on the Green Deal. The Federal Republic is on an economic crash course. A return to a market economy seems impossible as long as an oversized party cartel rigidly defends the course of the green transformation. The relaxation of the moral contact ban with the AfD by the Association of Family Businesses could now expose the ideological devastation of this path. Marie-Christine Ostermann has been president of the business association Die Familienunternehmer since...

This guy was a CIA asset, member of NDS03, which was outside the chain of command, with tacit nod to kill, torture, do whatever they want. Not supposed to be in the US altogether. "Allies Welcome" does not apply to intel assets. Has wife and five kids, no contact with them in months. Parole improperly given him by Brandon, was revoked, and he overstayed. Apparently, he decided to go out with a bang. But he's not cooperating, so whether or not there's a larger conspiracy is anybody's guess. Transcript linked below video.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Editorial Board rushed to the defense of Afghan refugees in an op-ed published on Thursday, saying they “shouldn’t be blamed for the violent act of one man.” On Wednesday, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal — an Afghan national who came to the U.S. as part of former President Joe Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome in 2021 after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal — allegedly opened fire on two National Guardsmen stationed in Washington, DC. After the attack, President Donald Trump announced that his administration would “reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan” under Biden. Following...

President Donald Trump will 'permanently pause migration' from third world countries and ordered a green card audit of 19 nations after the Washington, DC terror attack that left a National Guard soldier dead. Trump blasted former president Joe Biden for letting unvetted migrants stream into America - claiming he allowed the Afghan shooting suspect into the US during the disastrous 2021 withdrawal. 'I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover,' he said in a Truth Social post Thursday night. Trump also vowed to end all federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize...

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday prosecutors will seek the death penalty against the man accused of attacking two National Guardsmen shot in the nation’s capital the day before Thanksgiving. Bondi made officials’ intentions in the case clear while speaking during an interview on Fox News about the suspect identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the New York Post reported Thursday. “I will tell you early, we will do everything in our power to seek the death penalty against that monster who should not have been in our country,” she said. Bondi appeared to clarify that “if something happens” to...

The hearing in front of a federal three-judge panel has now been set for December 15 California Governor Gavin Newsom unconstitutionally overturned the voter-approved California Redistricting Commission with Proposition 50, which was just passed by voters earlier this month. That is bad enough, but the new congressional district maps were drawn based on racial lines, a recent lawsuit, filed by The Dhillon Law Group, Assemblyman David Tangipa, 18 California voters, and the California Republican Party, alleges. Expediting the federal hearing has met expected resistance from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is defending Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Governor...
