A car plowed into a terminal at the Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan Friday night – and the driver bellowed nonsense as he was dragged away from the scene, according to shocking footage and reports. Wild footage captured the black sedan sitting in the middle of the McNamara Terminal, where startled Delta Airlines employees were working as it smashed through the glass doors of the Romulus, Mich. around 7:30 p.m., according to WXYZ. The driver immediately exited the vehicle with his hands raised and speaking in a daze as security and airport officials rushed to the debris-ridden area. “The response...

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO.

It's an industrial area” “How is it possible 400 businesses billing almost $400 million were able to thrive here? — Why did no one in the state figure out this was a concern?”

Cam Higby 🇺🇸 @camhigby 🚨 GESTAPO PROTESTORS: Minneapolis “ICE observers” followed us for over an HOUR and demanded to SEE OUR PAPERS. We were told to leave Minneapolis and go to the airport or else. They claimed that our plates came back as “CONFIRMED ICE” in their database on multiple occasions

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ordered all public housing authorities and owners receiving department-funded housing Friday to verify tenant citizenship and eligibility after an audit conducted with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) flagged tens of thousands of deceased and ineligible tenants nationwide. HUD said the audit identified nearly 200,000 tenants requiring eligibility verification, including nearly 25,000 deceased tenants and nearly 6,000 ineligible non-American tenants across federally funded housing programs. Under the directive, HUD said all public housing authorities and participating owners have 30 days to take corrective action or face potential sanctions.

Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota are closing Friday to protest the deportation of illegal migrants, as industry experts admit that President Donald Trump’s deportation polices are nudging up wages for their American employees. Vendors, labor unions, and residents said they would be part of the “general strike” against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the New York Times reported Friday. However, it is important to note federal agents have been arresting criminal illegal aliens in the Democrat-run state and elsewhere across the nation to safeguard American communities. The Times article stated: In an email on Thursday, a Department of Homeland...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) barred the use of human fetal tissue derived from elective abortions from being used in taxpayer-funded research. “HHS is ending the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions in agency-funded research and replacing it with gold-standard science,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement. “The science supports this shift, the ethics demand it, and we will apply this standard consistently across the Department.” HHS said in its announcement, which was released the same day as the 53rd annual March for Life, that its new policy aligns with...

Within weeks of Zohran Mamdani being sworn into office in New York City, homeless encampments have popped back up in Manhattan after he vowed on the campaign trail to stop clearing them away. The democratic socialist, who took office on the first of the year, said in December he would stop the destruction of homeless encampments in the city - a hallmark of the previous administration led by Eric Adams. 'They are simply pushing New Yorkers who are living in the cold to another place where they will live in the cold,' Mamdani said at the time. In the 23...

A transgender Oregon lawmaker died after suffering internal bleeding from stomach ulcers that her doctor said were brought on by stress linked to her job and a bitter recall election, according to family members and friends. Claire Hall, a longtime Lincoln County commissioner, collapsed at her home in Newport late on January 2 and was rushed to a hospital in Portland where she died two days later at the age of 66 after doctors were unable to stop the hemorrhaging. Her death came just days before voters were set to decide whether to remove her from office in a highly...

Only the most deranged and malevolent radicals would oppose ICE agents, much less call for violence against them. When the agents apprehend worst-of-the-worst criminals who are in the country illegally, they are defending the nation, keeping the public safe, and enforcing laws created by democratically elected leaders. Yet preventing ICE from performing its crucial duties while whipping up violent sentiment against it is common among Democrat politicians — and not only in the mental institution moonbats have made of Minnesota. Kris Mayes is Attorney General of Arizona. The New York Post reports: Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire...

All three Minnesota church protestors have now been released from federal custody. A federal magistrate judge on Friday ordered the release of William Kelly, the far-left agitator who stormed a St. Paul church and harassed parishioners on Sunday.

Kelly was wearing his signature “**** Trump” beanie when he was taken into custody. On Friday, Magistrate Shannon Elkins said there was no basis for pretrial detention. Kelly, a well-known leftist...

Wade — as the most significant Supreme Court decision of his lifetime, ending decades of judicial overreach on abortion.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday marked National Sanctity of Human Life Day with a statement condemning abortion because every unborn child also has a right to life. Trump is renewing his administration’s “steadfast commitment to fostering a culture that respects, upholds, and cherishes the inherent dignity and infinite worth of every precious human soul,” calling the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision a “moral and constitutional atrocity” and praising the Supreme Court’s 2022 reversal that returned abortion policy to the states. In a presidential message released by the White House on the 53rd anniversary of the infamous ruling — Trump invoked...

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (Eph. 1:18). Spiritual enlightenment doesn’t come through self-effort or introspective meditation but through God’s Holy Spirit. Our society has been enamored with the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, especially since the influx of Eastern thought into the West during the 1960s. Now we are drowning in a sea of false religions and New Age philosophies. True enlightenment continues to elude many because they have denied its source and have turned to gurus and teachers who have no light to give. They propagate self-effort and introspective meditation, but spiritual enlightenment doesn’t...

Key points covered: Arrest of Alexander Soofer (former executive director of Abundant Blessings charity in California), charged with wire fraud for allegedly misusing ~$23 million in government funds meant for homeless housing and food to finance a lavish lifestyle (mansion, luxury vehicles, vacations, private school tuition). The arrest was announced by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California. Broader commentary links this to other alleged Democrat-connected frauds, including the Minnesota "Feeding Our Future" scandal (involving $250 million in child nutrition funds), where a convicted fraudster reportedly claims leaders like Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith...
