FBI Director Kash Patel announced that "the FBI has captured more of this country's 'most wanted fugitives' in the last year than were captured during the whole four years Biden was president." Christopher Wray, the FBI Director appointed by President Trump and retained by President Biden until the end of his presidency, called Patel's comparison "unfair. We could've easily racked up many more arrests of the most wanted over the four years Biden held the office, but we were given different priorities. President Biden made it clear that our top priority was to go after what was then the former...

BREAKING NEWS: ICE agents have shot and killed another person in Minneapolis. I was interviewing Minnesota AG Keith Ellison when it happened and he explains why it has become an absolute necessity for the “invasion of the Twin Cities by federal agents” to come to a stop.

Jim Jordan tears into Jack Smith over Trump probes. It shows House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) aggressively questioning or criticizing former Special Counsel Jack Smith during what appears to be a congressional hearing or committee session. Jordan frames the various investigations into Donald Trump (including those by Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, the Mueller probe, impeachments, etc.) as part of a long-running, politically motivated campaign by Democrats against Trump since 2016. Key points from Jordan's remarks in the video: He accuses officials of using questionable tactics, like relying on Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony (e.g., the alleged incident where...

event. “Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face,” Frost wrote on Instagram on Jan. 24. “He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.”

Peace talk aside, the ticking in Iran isn’t diplomacy—it’s a death-rattle, as a murderous regime nears judgment and a brutal people pray that liberation, at last, is real.In my column last week about the situation in Iran (“The Fog of Prewar in Iran”), I wrote:Many commentators, noting Trump’s oft-proclaimed desire for “peace on earth,” believe he has paused to see if negotiations with Iran might end the slaughter. I doubt it. Trump’s desire for peace is perfectly genuine. But I note that the last time he said he wanted “peace on earth” was when he was asked whether he had...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new plan to cozy up to Beijing betrays his calls to preserve the “international order” he says is under threat from Donald Trump, and Canada’s economic dependence on the United States may cause his plan to backfire. In a speech to the global elite at Switzerland’s Davos resort town this week, Carney warned attendees that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies in the wake of the Second World War is fraying amid the reemergence of great power conflict–principally the rivalry between China and America. “Every day we’re reminded that we...

Waffle House locations across the South locked their doors in a rare move as a monster winter storm threatens much of the country this weekend — a stark warning of the havoc to come. The 24-hour Southern breakfast chain, famous for rarely closing in bad weather, shut down its griddles as locations in South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi went into a “Code Red” Saturday as Winter Storm Fern barrels across the Midwest and East Coast, multiple outlets reported. In South Carolina — where the incoming system has prompted its first ice storm warning since 2005 — Waffle House employees...

South Dakota – SB 2 has been introduced in the South Dakota legislature. It removes silencers from the list of “controlled weapons” in the state statutes. This bill effectively removes state regulation of silencers, but not federal regulation. From sdlegislature.gov: Introduced by: Senator Crabtree: An Act to provide that a firearm silencer is not a controlled weapon. The Bill removes silencers from the definition of “Controlled weapon”. The definition is Section 1. § 22-1-2 (8). The bill creates a new definition which removes silencers.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, who are the left wing radicals showing up all over the country to obstruct, harass, and assault ICE? Where do they come from? How do they organize? Who is funding them? I sent my producers into their groups and their Signal chats to find out the answers. I’ll tell you what we discovered. Also, thanks to IVF a rapidly increasing number of single women are having children in their 40s. Is this a positive development for mankind? And a Chinese dissident says that the population of China might be half of what we’ve been...

WASHINGTON — A sweeping government funding package is facing new hurdles in the Senate after another person was shot and killed by a federal officer on Saturday in Minnesota, raising the specter of a potential shutdown next Friday at midnight.The legislation needs 60 votes to secure passage in the chamber, where Republicans control 53 seats. And a number of key Democrats who have voted for recent appropriations measures said they’ll vote against funding the Department of Homeland Security unless restrictions are put on how immigration officers carry out enforcement operations.The package, which has passed the House, is slated to come...

Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer spoke out against the anti-ICE agitators in his state. Unrest erupted in and around Minneapolis on Saturday after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot one of the agitators. Brewer called out the state's liberal leadership for inciting the unrest, arguing the Democrats are opposed to ICE because the agency is "deporting their voters." "We’re deporting their voters. That’s part of what’s happening and it’s blowing up their whole plan," Brewer told Fox News Digital. "You can’t allow people to come into your country who don’t carry the same...

President Trump cited a major winter storm forecast to impact about two-thirds of the United States as evidence to suggest that global warming does not exist, repeating a misleading claim that has been consistently debunked by climate experts. In a Truth Social post on Friday, he said, "Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???" Climate scientists say Mr. Trump's statement conflates short-term weather trends with long-term climate changes. The unusually cold air spilling into the United States is an example of...

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 AD/CE system we use to date the year was introduced - more or less by accident - during the Middle Ages. Before its invention, the classical world used a wide range of dating systems.

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...
