Somebody is gonna write that story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now,” Walz added, referring to President Donald Trump. Walz has repeatedly used Nazi-related metaphors when criticizing...

🚨 This woman nails it while Legacy media ignores it. “Did you guys hear about the illegal immigrant that was arrested in Georgia yesterday for brutally raping an 11-year-old girl at knifepoint and forcing her ten year old little sister to watch after breaking into their bedroom? Hmm, probably not, because you dumbasses have been so stuck on the five year old that was supposedly detained by ICE that with a 30 second Google search, you would have figured out that his dad actually ran and abandoned him and ICE wasn't going to leave a five-year-old by himself. You guys...

He was responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America's northern neighbor went ahead with a trade deal with Beijing.

As a retired federal agent and an attorney, this is my opinion based upon what is known right now. You don’t have to agree, and I will not debate, allow the full investigation to play out. I do know that the individual would still be alive today if he had exercised his right to protest from a distance and not interjected himself into the situation. The loss of life is always tragic. Understanding the Use of Force in the Minneapolis Federal Enforcement Incident Why the Law Matters More Than the Narrative Public debate around officer-involved shootings often turns on emotion,...

Americans don’t like criminals destroying American cities, preventing law enforcement from doing their jobs, or being paid to commit violence. Insurrectionists are again flooding the streets of Minneapolis. Fortunately, Americans see right through it and are calling for law and order.

The gang running the Biden regime had done everything wrong, and one of its most destructive actions was to open the border and allow criminals, gangs, and foreign soldiers to walk freely into...
