WASHINGTON — The Senate advanced a resolution Thursday to block President Trump from taking additional military action in Venezuela, just five days after the capture of Caracas strongman Nicolas Maduro. In a 52-47 vote, the upper chamber agreed to consider a so-called “War Powers resolution” to force Trump to end hostilities toward the South American nation, in a blow to the administration. The measure must still clear the Senate and House to take effect

We are now 12 days into the ongoing rebellion in Iran, and while Iran seems to erupt into protests pretty regularly, this time seems different. The people are taking to the streets, and even re-naming some of those streets after American President Donald Trump. The regime hasn't been able to tamp this thing down, and in Tehran, in government offices and wherever the aging mullahs hang out, there have to be a lot of furrowed brows and sweaty foreheads. Things may be escalating; in what sure appears to be a sign of desperation, there are indications that the regime may...

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Democrats took to social media following the deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis to demand to know why the agents can't just shoot cars in the legs to de-escalate situations. In the wake of the shooting of a protester, Democrats renewed their calls for law enforcement officers to wound criminals instead of shooting to kill when confronted with split-second life-or-death decisions. "I know exactly what I would do in that situation," Democrat Dan Sands wrote on social media platform X. "I would shoot that car straight in the leg to stop it from moving forward. That's the moral...

Why Everyone’s Searching for “Holmes Nutrition Lawsuit”A lawsuit was filed against Holmes Nutrition (formally named The Reshaping and Nutritional Company LLC) on March 12, 2025, in U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Case No. 2:25-cv-00442). The case stems from independent laboratory testing that revealed Holmes Nutrition’s protein powder contained drastically less protein than advertised—only 3.4 grams per scoop instead of the labeled 22 grams. Here’s what’s making this story explode across social media: A concerned consumer spent their own money to send three flavors of Holmes Nutrition protein powder to Certified Laboratories. The results were shocking. What was...

Fortunately, The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of jobs he'd be absolutely fabulous for: Learning Center Director: These have flourished into multi-billion-dollar businesses under his watch. Chief counselor at the "Pray Away The Straight" camp: What a perfect fit. One of those wacky inflatable tube men at a car dealership: He's already doing the motions. Might as well get paid.

America is in the middle of the worst chronic health crisis in our nation’s history, but the Trump administration is laying the groundwork for revitalization—which is rooted in the real, nutritious food grown by our farmers and ranchers. Every five years, the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) are required by law to jointly publish a report containing nutritional and dietary information and guidelines for the general public. This report, known as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, is meant to provide science-based advice on what to eat and drink to promote health, reduce risk of...

Federal officials say the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent during a chaotic confrontation in Minneapolis had been interfering with immigration enforcement efforts for hours before the deadly encounter. According to the New York Post, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem identified the woman as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good and said her actions escalated throughout the day, culminating in what authorities described as a violent vehicle attack on federal officers. Good was shot and killed on Wednesday after allegedly attempting to ram an ICE agent with her car during a protest in a Minneapolis neighborhood. The scene unfolded roughly one...

When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn't the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there's plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.In the last year, ICE and CBP agents have been involved in more than 100 such incidents.There have been more than 100 vehicular ramming incidents targeting ICE and CPB agents in the last year. More than 100.For example, in October in Chicago, an ICE officer was hit by a car and dragged under...

A federal court has sided with a Christian ministry seeking to ensure it has the right to hire only employees who agree to abide by its religious beliefs, ordering the state of Washington not to enforce a nondiscrimination law against the organization. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion Tuesday, ruling that Union Gospel Mission of Yakima has the right to hire employees who align with the organization’s religious beliefs. The Christian ministry sued the state's attorney general and the Washington State Human Rights Commission, alleging that the Washington Law Against Discrimination...

Night show host Jimmy Kimmel sent a message to President Donald Trump following the ICE shooting of a 37-year-old unarmed woman in Minneapolis Wednesday evening. The incident has sparked outrage online, and Kimmel hit back against Trump’s claim that ICE killed the woman in self defense. "They were there under the guise of protecting us, and of course, our president weighed in with compassion," Kimmel said sarcastically before reading Trump’s comments on the matter. "I have just viewed the clip of the event… It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the...

VIDEOWatch the amazing change in attitude of Chavista thug Diosdado Cabello before and after the commie dictator of Venezuela was plucked out of that country in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026. First we see Diosdado on his weekly TV show, "Con El Mazo Dando" (Going At It With a Club) BEFORE the Trump force arrived briefly in Venezuela when Cabello was full of happy piss and vinegar enjoying himself along with his live Commie audience. Later we see a very different Diosado Cabello after the incursion in which poor leader of the violent Colectivos looks like a...

On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her. Ever since, the left has been gaslighting the public, claiming that the ICE agent shot her without provocation, that he wasn’t in front of the car when she hit the gas, that she was just turning her vehicle when she was shot, and that she wasn’t even involved in the anti-ICE protests. An eyewitness...

Many AT readers will be aware that my judgment can be harsh regarding police-involved homicides and shootings. The reasons for that are simple: cops represent authority, and do so while bearing firearms. That being the case, the power dynamic is always tilted in the direction of law enforcement. So they had better have their ducks lined up perfectly in cases where things go south. That understood, it seems clear to me that Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis is completely justified given the circumstances. I would go so far as to say that the circumstances here override any particular details of...

n the wake of an ICE shooting that killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, academics have joined the chorus of left-wing radicals seeking to abolish the federal law enforcement agency. "Abolishing ICE is the moderate position," said Victor Ray, an associate professor of sociology, criminology and African American studies at the University of Iowa. In another social media post, Ray referred to the shooting, which killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, as a "murder." Nobody has been charged with murder in the case.

Tim Allen can’t be canceled, and he knows it. You can’t ostracize Tim from Tool Time, nor can you banish Santa Claus. Allen knows his range, he stays in his lane, and he’s great at it. The man will always find work, and he seems to have a knack for landing on hit shows, Last Man Standing being his latest, where he plays the father of three daughters, navigating family life with that of being the head of marketing for a Cabela ’s-like store in Colorado. Yes, it’s a conservative-ish show. While a guest on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast,...

Conan O’Brien warned comedians giving in to their anger at President Donald Trump that they are being “co-opted” and not making much of a difference. In a conversation with Oxford Union on Tuesday, O’Brien noted he often hears people say how “great” Trump must be for comedians. The one-time Tonight Show host argued the opposite, saying “talking crazy” is part of Trump’s brand and it makes it difficult to structure satire around it. O’Brien cited Trump’s construction of a White House ballroom as something sketch comedy writers would likely come up with to mock Trump — except it’s reality. “Comedy...

Minneapolis Anti-ICE Protest Erupts as American Flag Is Burned #Minneapolis #ICE #Protest #BreakingNews A tense scene ...

A lot of what we cover here at the Media Research Center consists of bias by omission. Specifically, when media outlets omit narrative-unfriendly stories in their entirety, or omit selected details from within those stories that are inconvenient to liberal narrative. Tonight on NBC Nightly News, we saw the exact opposite.

A prosecutor previously criticized for targeting law enforcement is asking to lead a probe into a shooting by an immigration agent in Minnesota. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Wednesday that she made the demand after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a driver who drove toward him during anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Conservatives blasted Moriarty over the past year for giving no jail time to a Somali rapist and a Tesla vandal and for attempting to prosecute a state trooper who shot a belligerent felon. We’re aware of the shooting at 34th and Portland. We’ve been...
