WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump warned this week that if the Minnesota government is unable to get the riots under control, he will be forced to start posting online using all-caps. With tensions and violent anti-ICE protests escalating in Minneapolis, Trump said he may have no other choice but to start posting sternly worded all-caps statements on social media. "I don't want to do it, but I will," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Melania has said, ‘Don, you need to cut it out with the caps lock.' But I'm getting close. If these liberal nut jobs don't...

Senate Republicans unveiled legislation Thursday to combat a surge of attacks against federal immigration officers. The lawmakers, led by Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn, are proposing to hike penalties for individuals who assault or resist law enforcement. The legislation would also enact minimum sentences for those who use vehicles to attack law enforcement, according to a copy of the bill obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Cornyn’s bill, the ICE Protection Act, comes after the Department of Homeland Security announced on Jan. 8 that vehicular attacks against ICE agents increased by 3200% between Jan. 21, 2025 and Jan....

BEIJING -- Canada has reached a deal with Beijing on Friday to slash tariffs on a set number of Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China dropping duties on agriculture products, Prime Minister Mark Carney said as he concluded a highly-anticipated trip to China. The deal marks a de-escalation in tensions with a country the Liberal government had, in recent years, branded as a disruptive power, and is getting mixed reactions in Canada. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and some auto industry groups are slamming the plan as a threat to the country’s auto industry, but Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who...

A prominent anarchist blog is calling for a “disruptive” gathering at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s home in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night. Masked protesters should arrive at the property at 6 p.m. and “TAKE THE FIGHT” to ICE, whether the gathering is “peaceful” or not, according to the Tuesday post from “Rose City Counter-Info,” which claims to identify the agent and a home address. The anonymous pro-Antifa website drew rebuke from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in July and October for efforts to “dox” ICE agents and telling Portlanders to illegally shine lasers at federal aircraft....

Six months after Palm Beach County commissioners voted 7-0 to rename a stretch of Southern Boulevard after President Donald Trump, a dedication ceremony for the formal name change will take place today. President Trump is expected to attend the ceremony today at Mar-a-Lago at 3:15 p.m., when the segment of Southern Boulevard between Kirk Road and South Ocean Boulevard — covering the highly visible route from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago. The name change, backed by legislation signed last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis, sparked heated public comment but ultimately passed with a 7–0 vote. In the days after...

It has been four years since the world was brought to its knees by a virus that many evidence-based reports now indicate leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. You would think the federal government and the “experts” in the public health establishment would have learned their lesson. You would be wrong. Colorado State University (CSU) is moving full steam ahead with a massive, taxpayer-funded “Bat Resource Center.” This new facility, which is bankrolled by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the very same agency that funded dangerous research in Wuhan, will import and breed exotic bats to experiment on...

The Rocky Mountain West remains in the grip of fentanyl and methamphetamine addiction, with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reporting record drug seizures throughout the region in 2025, Wyoming included. Last year, the DEA seized 8,729,000 fentanyl pills and nearly 3,100 pounds of methamphetamine across the four-state mountain region that includes Colorado, Utah, Montana and Wyoming, with fentanyl seizures in Wyoming up by 264% in 2025, according to DEA figures. Statewide law enforcement continues to grapple with drugs infiltrating Wyoming communities as traces of carfentanil, an extremely potent synthetic opioid used to tranquilize large animals, was discovered in small doses...

A US asylum seeker has been living in Britain with free accommodation and benefits for more than a year in the first case of its kind. The man, from Las Vegas, fled to the UK claiming he was being persecuted because he is black, Jewish and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – the Mormon Church. He was put up in migrant hotels before his claim was rejected last summer. However, he has not been removed from the UK, and subsequently he was allowed to claim thousands of pounds in accommodation, food and state support....

President Donald Trump pardoned nearly two dozen people this week including a woman who had a fraud conviction commuted by the president in 2021, according to multiple outlets, marking the latest pardons handed out by Trump in his second term.

Mighty Dover Castle commands a view of the shortest sea crossing between Britain and continental Europe, a position of immense strategic importance. But within the walls of the medieval castle stands a much older building, dating from a time when Britain was an outpost of the Roman Empire.Around 2,000 years ago, in the early 2nd century AD, the Romans built a pharos, or lighthouse, here. This would have guided the ships of a Roman fleet into the harbour below.Not only is the Dover pharos the most complete standing Roman building in England, it's also one of only three lighthouses to...

Candace Owens is now pushing that Charlie Kirk was a TIME TRAVELLER - and that he had "AGENTS" (yes, like the Matrix) monitoring him from childhood - and that he was killed because he tried to DISTURB space-time continuum. No, I'm not kidding.

On Friday, a Manchester resident may leave the Granite State for the last time. Oscar Gutierrez, 40, is detained at Strafford County jail for staying in the country illegally. He’s due to be flown to Louisiana, and from there, back to his original country of Honduras. This may effectively be a death sentence. As a teen, Gutierrez fled Honduras 22 years ago after refusing to join MS-13, a criminal gang. Threats followed him to the U.S. If he ever returns, he will be murdered, according to his family. Gutierrez’s wife, Mirna, said she has presented evidence of the threats to...

The plan was never to become an ICE agent. The plan, when I went to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Career Expo in Texas last August, was to learn what it was like to apply to be an ICE agent. Who wouldn’t be curious? The event promised on-the-spot hiring for would-be deportation officers: Walk in unemployed, walk out with a sweet $50k signing bonus, a retirement account, and a license to brutalize the country’s most vulnerable residents without consequence—all while wrapped in the warm glow of patriotism. At first glance, my résumé has enough to tantalize a recruiter for America’s...

The Democrats are desperate to maintain the narrative that Renee Good was an innocent woman gunned down by a fascist ICE agent. We all know it's not true, and we've all seen the multiple videos from different angles showing Good hit that ICE agent with her vehicle. But that's not stopping the Democrats from scraping the bottom of the barrel for support, and that includes getting a statement from Casey Anthony, the Florida mom accused and later acquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Anthony was convicted of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement, but was credited...

Explanation: These cosmic clouds have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile starfields of the constellation Cepheus. Called the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023 is not the only nebula to evoke the imagery of flowers. Still, this deep telescopic image shows off the Iris Nebula's range of colors and symmetries embedded in surrounding fields of interstellar dust. Within the Iris itself, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The dominant color of the brighter reflection nebula is blue, characteristic of dust grains reflecting starlight. Central filaments of the reflection nebula glow with a faint reddish photoluminescence as some dust grains...

Brutal honesty: This ICE situation in Minnesota may be a defining moment for how the next 10 years look. Any weakness means fueling the worst domestic extremists. Here’s what should be done: • Invoke the insurrection act • Military arrests rioters and politicians • ICE triples presence and deports maximum # of illegals while DHS denaturalizes anyone who committed immigration fraud and deports them too • Not one apology from the right for anything This must be put down so thoroughly that the far left extremists can’t effectively recruit people in other left wing cities to replicate the chaos and...

Minnesota wasn’t an accident and Maine proves it. From Medicaid fraud to no-bid contracts, whistleblowers are exposing the same playbook being used across multiple states.

Donald Trump has warned the US may pull out of NATO if America's allies don't agree to its acquisition of Greenland. 'Will you pull out of NATO if it doesn't help you acquire Greenland,' a reporter asked the president outside the White House on Friday. Trump warned: 'We're going to see. NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland, we need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don't have it we have a very big hole in terms of national security, especially in terms of the Golden Dome.' The Golden Dome is a proposed multi-layer missile defense system...
