After nearly two decades of negotiations, India and the European Union announced Tuesday they have reached a free trade agreement to deepen economic and strategic ties. The accord, which the EU chief described as the "mother of all deals," could affect as many as 2 billion people. The deal between two of the world's biggest markets comes as Washington targets both India and the EU with steep import tariffs, disrupting established trade flows and pushing major economies to seek alternate partnerships. "This agreement will bring major opportunities for the people of India and Europe," India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said...

HSI agent recalls 'children crying ... people singing and praying' as BLM-affiliated group stormed church A group of leftist agitators that disrupted a Sunday service at a Minnesota church to protest a pastor’s involvement with nationwide deportations of illegal immigrants told children their parents were “Nazis” who were “going to Hell,” according to court documents. An affidavit filed Jan. 20 by a special agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), alleges protesters at Cities Church were screaming and verbally abusing women and young children, including telling...

Ephesians 6:12-13 (King James Version) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. What if the Democrat Communist Party wanted to build America up and be a supporting Party rather than wanting to destroy her. There is no question or hiding the fact anymore, if you want to tear this country apart you will...

As President Trump’s promised mass deportations gain steam, radicals are spiraling into outright calls for violence against those enforcing America’s borders. In a shocking video clip, anti-Trump operative Rick Wilson demanded the execution of Stephen Miller, the architect behind the administration’s tough immigration policies. Wilson’s meltdown comes amid backlash over recent ICE actions, including two fatal encounters that have fueled leftist outrage. But while open-borders advocates cry foul, the reality exposes their organized efforts to sabotage law enforcement and shield illegal aliens from accountability. In a recent video, Wilson rails against Miller for labeling the agitator who was killed in...

Playing off the severe winter weather, Jimmy Fallon on Monday aimed a few “It’s so cold ...” jokes at the Trumps before a surprise guest butted in to continue the monologue. “It is so cold, I watched the ‘Melania’ movie just to warm my heart,” the “Tonight Show” host cracked. “It’s so cold, President Trump got a space heater installed in his MRI machine.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani then stepped onstage. “Hey, Jimmy, let me try one,” he said to wild applause. “It’s so cold in New York City the rent froze itself,” Mamdani said. The city leader...

A rough draft of a speech I think POTUS should make: My fellow Americans; just over a year ago, I was overwhelmingly elected on a law-and-order platform that included a promise to stop the invasion of our country by aliens who were allowed, and incentivized, to enter by the previous administration. I promised to enforce our immigration laws, already on the books, and this includes deportations primarily and initially focused on some of the worst, known, criminals. It should be no surprise to you, the people, that I have acted to fulfill my promise because a country without protected borders...

When it comes to using government coercion to force a multi-trillion dollar “net zero” energy transition upon the world, many things can go wrong. At this website I have focused on multiple potential calamities likely to flow from this effort: things like whether the proposed “renewable” wind and solar generators can actually work, whether they can produce sufficient electricity and at the right times, how much energy storage would be needed, the risk of blackouts, and how much all of this would inevitably cost. My list of potential calamities is far from comprehensive. Here is a huge issue that I...

A Utah mom accused of kidnapping her four children and taking them to Europe because she was convinced the world was ending has been arrested after the kids were found dumped in an orphanage. Elleshia Anne Seymour, 35, was arrested in Croatia, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Fox 13 on Monday, almost two months after the doomsday mom allegedly absconded with the children. Her ex-husband, Kendall Seymour, has flown to Europe to rescue his kids — who are there with another American child also taken with them, he wrote in an update on his fundraiser on...

Venezuela’s new socialist leader, Delcy Rodríguez, has launched a public campaign aimed at reassuring the regime’s radical base that she has not become a puppet of Washington — even as President Donald Trump publicly praises her leadership for fostering what he calls a “wonderful” relationship between the two countries. In recent days, Rodríguez has pushed back against international media reports suggesting she privately assured U.S. officials she would cooperate fully in a transitional government before Trump ordered a swift military operation in Venezuela on Jan. 3. That operation led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia...

U.S. Senator John Fetterman asked President Donald Trump to fire Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a social media post Tuesday, . “President Donald J. Trump: I’m making a direct appeal to immediately fire Secretary Kristi Noem,“ Fetterman wrote on Facebook. “Americans have died. She is betraying DHS’ core mission and trashing your legacy to secure our border. DO NOT make the same mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary.” Fetterman made a similar post on X, just a day after condemning the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by U.S. Border...

Those enforcing the law are blamed, those breaking it are excused, and the public is told that the only way to stop the disorder is to surrender authority. Fifty-five years ago, Democrat activist and community organizer Saul Alinsky published Rules for Radicals. Its stated purpose was not reform, persuasion, or compromise, but disruption -- manufacturing chaos, provoking conflict, and inciting revolution as a means of political change. Alinsky was explicit: power is seized, not earned, and the ends always justify the means. More than half a century later, the book has not faded into obscurity. It remains the Left’s operating...

President Trump is sidestepping thumb-twiddling California Democrats with an executive order aimed at fast-tracking the rebuilding of Los Angeles a year after devastating wildfires torched entire city blocks and left thousands homeless. “I want to see if we can take over the city and state and just give the people their permits they want to build,” Trump told The California Post Friday in an exclusive Oval Office interview where he signed the seven-page order. Trump pointed the finger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the painfully slow rebuilding of homes ravaged by the January...

The mask fully came off during Monday’s edition of The View and exposed their true extremist face. Reacting to another ICE-involved shooting death in Minnesota, ABC News co-hosts declared that the law enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were the kind of thing America’s Founding Fathers wanted the Second Amendment used for. It was The View’s most direct incitement to violence to date. Despite being staunchly against the Second Amendment prior to weekend shooting, including denouncing a concealed gun carrier for stopping a mass shooting, The View cast was suddenly Second Amendment scholars.

Administration cites testing conducted by Florida Department of Health. Candy for Valentine’s Day? Maybe not. The administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday that it had tested 46 types of candy and that more than 60% of them (28) contained elevated arsenic levels that, consumed over time, could put children at an increased risk of cancer. This is the second announcement this month the DeSantis administration has made about its testing efforts and the results being posted on the Healthy Florida First website. The governor and First Lady Casey DeSantis announced Florida had tested 24 infant formulas and found that...

"I pray that ... you may know ... the surpassing greatness of [God's] power toward us who believe" (Eph. 1:18-19). The same divine power that created, sustains, and controls the universe secures your salvation. God’s power is awesome! David wrote, “Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Thine is the dominion, O Lord, and Thou dost exalt Thyself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from Thee, and Thou dost rule over all, and in Thy hand...

MS NOW Thought Alex Pretti Wasn’t Pretty Enough So They Heavily Altered His Image Alex Pretti has been all over the news since he was shot while engaged with Customers and Border Protection officers in Minneapolis. The fury over CBP and ICE in the dysfunctional city has leftists attempting to elevate the armed insurgent’s status to a combination of martyr and saint. MS NOW took their brainwashing to the next level by adding beautification to the mix. They heavily enhanced his headshot and displayed the new and improved Pretti on Nicolle Wallace’s show.

The Potomac is facing more than rough waters after a sewage spill near Lockhouse 10 sent E. coli levels soaring far beyond safe limits in Washington, D.C., with new testing revealing contamination thousands of times higher than what’s considered safe for human contact. Lockhouse 10 is a historic canal lock and restored lockkeeper’s house along the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal, originally used to manage boat traffic on the 19th-century canal and now preserved as a quiet historic site about five miles from the heart of Washington, D.C. The Potomac Riverkeeper Network (PRKN) released test results from contaminated water along...
