The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized comments by a senior federal prosecutor warning that approaching law enforcement with a gun could justify a fatal police response, saying such statements risk "demonizing law‑abiding citizens" as the nation reels from the killing of a man in Minneapolis by a U.S. border agent.

One hard-and-fast rule that leftists obey is this: Always accuse political opponents of committing the same transgressions that you are preparing to commit. Accusing innocent people of doing terrible things is dirty politics, but it muddies the waters of public perception just enough to protect the guilty from accountability. When Democrats commit electoral fraud, they accuse Republicans of trying to steal elections. When leftist revolutionaries burn down cities, ambush and murder law enforcement officers, and demand that state and local governments “defund police,” Democrats accuse grandparents and veterans of being “insurrectionists.” When Bill Clinton gets caught hanging out with Jeffrey...

While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where leftist agitators screamed obscenities and threatened young Christian families as they left Sunday services. At roughly the same time on Sunday when the hoard of disrupters — including Don Lemon — burst into a worship service in St. Paul, agitators in D.C. were screaming “F-ck off, Nazi scum” at moms and kids as they left Christ Church on Pennsylvania Avenue. Christ Church in D.C. is an offshoot of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A battle is underway about the release of a convicted murderer with ties to the MS-13 gang who previously entered the United States illegally. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Boulware II ordered the release of Harvey Laureano Rosales, 54, by Jan. 22.

Rosales is a citizen and national of El Salvador who entered the...

President Trump has the world playing taps for the New World Order, and that’s a good thing. In the process he dealt the UK’s Keir Starmer what appears to be a fatal blow. And in Minneapolis, a combination of communists and NGO-paid rioters are trying to replay the George Floyd Summer of Love and is instead showing why ICE’s work is essential to good order. The media is trying to help the rioters by concocting a “bait boy” fable. DavosNiall Ferguson sums up, ”The reality is that Trump won Davos, hands down. And not only did he win it; he...

A A Reset "I pray that . . . you may know what is the hope of [God's] calling" (Eph. 1:18). The hope of your calling is grounded in God’s promises and in Christ’s accomplishments. In Ephesians 1:3-14 Paul proclaims the blessings of our salvation. In verse 18 he prays that we will comprehend those great truths, which he summarizes in the phrase "the hope of His calling." "Calling" here refers to God's effectual calling—the calling that redeems the soul. Scripture speaks of two kinds of calling: the gospel or general call and the effectual or specific call. The gospel...

These are three outright lies (George Floyd, Renee Good and now Alex Pretti); you are able to definitively triangulate between three to tell what's going on—two events by themselves would have been enough, but there's no arguing with three. The real issue is, not your refusal to "believe your lying eyes", but, first, the mentality of the insurgents, then, the ultimate motivation for their wanting, to the point of being death-fanatics, to overturn reality, to accomplish, in the term by Friedrich Nietzsche, a "transvaluation of values", which is just a fancy "philosophical" term for calling evil: good, and good: evil....

MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local authorities after Hennepin Co.

President Donald Trump took a shot at Somalia and claimed that the investigations Minnesota faces into alleged fraud schemes are a reminder that the West cannot allow mass migration from "failed" societies. Minnesota has encountered heightened scrutiny in recent months as the state faces investigations into multiple alleged fraud schemes plaguing the state’s social services system. The majority of those charged are part of Minnesota’s Somali population, and Trump unveiled plans in November 2025 to end the temporary protected status for Somali migrants in Minnesota that offers protections against deportation. "The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot...
