James Talarico : My family is from the border. My mom grew up in Laredo, Texas. Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want to live the American dream. We can build a pathway to citizenship for those neighbors who have been here, making us richer and stronger. And we can keep out people who mean to do us harm.

As President Donald Trump aims to build a ballroom at the White House, federal Judge Richard Leon on Thursday reportedly asked Justice Department lawyers to point to what authority allows the president to engage in a construction project at the White House. "Where do you see the authority for the president to tear down the East Wing and build something in its place?" the judge asked, according to The Washington Post. While the outlet reported that Leon said he could issue a decision next month, NBC News reported that the judge promised that he would issue a decision in February....

WASHINGTON — Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that she will not vote for Department of Homeland Security funding after the latest fatal shooting of an American by a federal agent in Minneapolis. "When they're killing two constituents in my state, and they're taking two-year-olds out of the arms of their mom, and they are taking an elder Hmong man out of his house and putting him out there in his underwear, and then figuring out they have the wrong man," Klobuchar told "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker. "No, I am...

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. In his Jan. 21 order, Boulware said the federal government violated Rosales’ due process rights in multiple ways, and noted he acknowledges Rosales’ criminal history, “while also acknowledging that he has served a lengthy sentence and been paroled for these crimes.” ... 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....
