Pretti’s death was the culmination of a weeks-long campaign of terror conducted against residents of the city, including Renee Good, who was herself killed by DHS forces just two weeks earlier. Indeed, “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis has accounted for two-thirds of homicides in the city...

Grocery delivery app Instacart abruptly began charging Big Apple residents a new “regulatory response fee” this week after sweeping changes to the city’s delivery worker laws were enacted Monday, The Post has learned. “NYC regulatory response fees appear in the order summary,” the FAQ section of Instacart’s website now reads — a marked change from archived versions of the site just one month prior. An explanation of the fee reads that it “helps cover increased operating costs in NYC due to government regulations on delivery platforms.” A Post analysis of orders prior to Monday found no such fee tacked on....

Kenneth Moreno Guzman, an illegal alien from Mexico, raped an 11 year old girl at knifepoint in Georgia while her little sister watched. Jimmy Kimmel didn’t cry for her. Obama didn’t put out a statement. Media mostly ignored her rape. Democrats didn’t demand changes to stop future rapes and ZERO celebrities wore a pin for her at awards show. They only pretend to care if it suits their political goals and their bank accounts. Illegals are their pets so they protect them at all costs. One day before this rape, if ICE had tried to deport him, Democrats would have...

Ilhan Omar has been hit by claims she faked her own attack after Donald Trump declared 'she probably had herself sprayed.' The Minnesota Democratic Representative, 43, was doused with an unknown vinegar-smelling liquid from a syringe during a town hall event in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Anthony Kazmierczak, 55 - a Trump supporter who has previously posted anti-Omar comments on social media - was charged with third-degree assault. But Omar's actions during the attack have sparked theories it was staged, with online sleuths pointing to two supposed inconsistencies. The first is that the congresswoman's immediate response to the liquid being sprayed...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued with Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul Wednesday over whether the U.S.’ capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was an “act of war.” Paul expressed disagreement with Rubio by stating that if any country captured the U.S. president in the same kind of operation carried out in Venezuela, he would declare war. President Donald Trump’s administration, including Rubio, have repeatedly stated that Maduro’s arrest was simply a “law enforcement action” and not an act of war against Venezuela. Trump said that the move brought Maduro to “justice” and that the U.S. acted within its constitutional...

Look at those faces: They never got a billboard. Not one. Alex Pretti received a billboard. Renée Good received national coverage. Protests. Headlines. National attention. Meanwhile… Young Americans whose lives were taken by people who were in this country illegally. Most never made national news. Most never trended. Most were forgotten within days. No press conferences. No primetime coverage. No political outrage. Just families planning funerals… quietly. And this is why ICE matters. Because its mission is to protect innocent people — to prevent harm and enforce the laws that keep our communities safe.

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (Deranged-MN) exhorts ICE Watcherd to put their bodies on the line to prevent ICE from kidnapping innocent people among other delusional things

The probe is related to the 2020 election, which Republican President Donald Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden, the official said. Representatives for Fulton County's election office referred queries to the county's external affairs office,...

President Donald Trump, reacting sight unseen to breaking news that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., had been sprayed with what the media described as a "liquid" that appeared urine-colored, claimed the incident was staged. That very narrative has been viral by conservatives on social media Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, but Trump was asked about the incident shortly after the news broke and before he had seen it. "No. I don't think about her; I think she's a fraud; I really don't think about that: She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her," Trump told an ABC News reporter. "I haven't...

While talking to reporters about the shooting on Tuesday, Trump said: “You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns. It’s a very unfortunate thing.” The NRA later posted on X: “The NRA unequivocally believes that all law-abiding citizens have a right to keep and bear arms anywhere they have a legal right to be.” There have been repeated clashes between guns rights groups and some members of the Trump administration. FBI Director Kash Patel said on Sunday: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want.” The National Association for...
