    Facebook discussion | 01/16/2026 | Paul Rivers
    I have been wondering why the left is so absolutely dead set against ICE and their mission of keeping America safe. I had a discussion with a leftist on a friend's FB post (and no, I'm not posting her post, or my friend will be hit with tons of people showing up). She claimed that they were Gestapo. I told her she was wrong. I then worked to try to explain why Renee Good was in the wrong, and she posted up a list. If I believed the line of lies of the left, I can understand why they believe...

    In this video, we break down the growing questions surrounding Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and the documented connections between his wife’s former lobbying firm and the infamous Feeding Our Future fraud case — a $250 million scandal that rocked Minnesota. As Mayor Frey goes on a national media blitz attacking the Trump administration, opposing ICE operations, and warning about federal overreach, Minnesota is once again facing uncomfortable headlines: multiple ICE-involved shootings, escalating protests, lawsuits against the federal government, and renewed scrutiny of past fraud cases involving Somali-run nonprofits.
  • Lindsey Graham growing "increasingly concerned" over Syria

    @LindseyGrahamSC As I have previously stated, I am growing increasingly concerned that the new Syrian government is aligning with Turkey to use military force against the Syrian Kurds, who are our strongest ally in the enduring defeat of ISIS in Syria. They also have control of about 9,000 of the worst of the worst ISIS prisoners. It is in our vital national security interest that these prisoners do not go back to the battlefield. I support a fair chance for the new Syrian government, however if there’s an escalation of attacks against the Kurds by Syrian forces supported by Turkey,...
  • Will it be Mamdani's city council?

    Will the New York City Council bend to Mamdani’s will and wishes? Believe it or not, nearly all socialist regimes, even the most infamous, have had legislative branches. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) had the Supreme Soviet. Cuba has the National Assembly of the People’s Power. China has the National People’s Congress. North Korea has the Supreme People’s Assembly. Even Nazi Germany, which was a socialist government according to its German name (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), which translates to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, had the Reichstag. Of course, these bodies are and were “legislatures” in name only....

    María Corina Machado says she gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize 'he deserves it' Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado had a simple explanation for why she gifted President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal at the White House Thursday. “Because he deserves it,” Machado told “Fox & Friends” during an interview that aired Friday morning. “And, um, it was a very emotional moment.” Machado, 58, added that she had presented Trump, 79, with the medal in a frame “on behalf of the people of Venezuela” following the Jan. 3 arrest of socialist authoritarian president Nicolas Maduro on federal drug...

    @ShawnRyan762 “Pam Bondi can be personally fined up to $10,000 every day that these documents aren’t released, and she could be put in jail for breaking the law. They keep releasing fluff instead of the actual files, and they’re protecting people. This is the one issue that is hurting them with their own base, and people are screaming, ‘Release these damn files.’ If there’s evidence being destroyed, that’s a serious crime, and career prosecutors would be risking everything.”

    DETROIT (AP) — At the North American International Auto Show, tires squeal as gearheads put shiny new vehicles through their paces on a pair of indoor tracks that sprawl across the event space. One of those tracks used to be set aside exclusively for electric vehicles as U.S. automakers sought to quickly build out the cars of the future. But no longer. This year, both strips are open to hybrids and gas-powered vehicles as Detroit continues a pivot away from EVs since President Donald Trump returned to the White House with a pro-fossil fuels agenda. “The show will always reflect...

    For American freedom to survive another century, those who understand what is at stake have a moral responsibility to speak up. make no bones about my support for President Trump. I find him a breath of truth-infused fresh air in an age of pretending that has long been dedicated to constructing, spreading, and anointing the “narrative.” By rejecting the rules of “political correctness,” Trump is willing to say what others will not. By rejecting conventional “wisdom,” the president approaches challenges in insightful ways. By rejecting the authority of institutions compromised by political agendas, President Trump challenges corrosive policies camouflaged as...

    "In [Christ] also we have obtained an inheritance" (Eph. 1:10-11). As a member of God’s family, you have obtained a future inheritance that has many present benefits. An inheritance is something received by an heir as a result of a will or legal process. It's a legacy one receives from family connections. As a member of God's family, you are an heir of God and fellow heir with Christ (Rom. 8:17). As such you have obtained an inheritance that Peter called "imperishable and undefiled . . . reserved in heaven for you" (1 Pet. 1:4). It cannot perish, fade away,...

    Some fun facts: 1. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents. 2. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. 3. It was invoked to deal with rebellions and uprisings. What are rebellions and uprisings? Examples: - Armed groups openly defied federal law - State or local authorities could not or would not enforce federal law - Violence or organized resistance threatened the authority of the federal government - Courts were blocked, taxes couldn’t be collected, or officials were attacked Look I just described Minnesota.

    Iran is facing its most critical moment in decades. In this exclusive Jerusalem Dateline interview, Iranian-born lawyer, activist, and former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari joins Chris Mitchell and Joshua Swanson to discuss what she’s hearing from inside Iran as nationwide protests erupt. Ghamari says unconfirmed reports point to more than 30,000 Iranians killed, calling it the largest massacre since the Islamic regime took power in 1979. She explains why this uprising is different, why Iranians believe the regime’s fall is near, and what freedom could look like after nearly five decades of oppression. She also shares why Christianity is rapidly...

    The FBI searched the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson Wednesday morning, as part of a classified document leak investigation. Agents reportedly executed a search warrant at her residence in suburban Alexandria, Va., seizing her phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops (a personal computer and a Washington Post-issued device). Natanson was reportedly told she is not the target of the investigation. The suspected leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is a Maryland-based government system administrator with top-secret clearance. The Justice Department alleges in its complaint that he took home classified material, including documents found in his lunchbox and basement. Attorney General...

    What was Renee Nicole Good thinking when her girlfriend yelled, “Drive baby, drive” and grinning she drove her 4,000 lb Honda Pilot SUV at an armed federal law enforcement officer? Her last thoughts were likely of her imaginary white privilege and why it failed to protect her. Good had supported BLM and had inhaled its mythology of ‘the talk’, the idea that law enforcement is a racist institution, that police started out as ‘slave catchers’ and that they exist to persecute black people while giving white people a pass. This would have come as a surprise to the over 2,000...
