    Illegal alien who allegedly admitted to 5 murders in El Salvador arrested in Virginia just weeks before Gov Spanberger ended ICE cooperationFIRST ON FOX: An MS-13 gang member and alleged mass murderer has been taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Virginia, Department of Homeland Security sources told Fox News Digital. The announcement of the arrest of Edwin Antonio Hernandez Hernandez, 27, of El Salvador, comes after newly sworn-in Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed an executive order saying local and state law enforcement are no longer required to cooperate with ICE, repealing an order from her...

    Pivotal’s eVTOL aircraft dubbed Helix is available to order online for $190,000, with deliveries expected within a year. Buyers don’t need a pilot’s license to operate the aircraft, though they must complete training and take an FAA knowledge test. An advocacy organization has raised safety concerns over crowded airspace. A future with flying cars is no longer science fiction — all you need to order your own is about $200,000 and some hope and patience. The Palo Alto-based company Pivotal has been developing the technology since 2009 and is nearly ready to bring it to market. The company’s founder...

    Iranian officials have warned of an "immediate and unprecedented" response to any US attackAmid the din of global speculation over US military build-up in the Middle East, Israel's leaders have remained unusually silent.Aside from some remarks in support of Iran's anti-government protests this month, Israel's prime minister has had little to say publicly about his superpower ally taking on his biggest enemy. His government has remained equally silent."It shows you the importance Netanyahu puts on this moment," said Danny Citrinowicz, who served for 25 years in Israel's Defence Intelligence, and is now senior Iran researcher at Israel's Institute for National...

  • Is America a Nation of Citizens, or a Territory of ‘People’?

    Patriot Post ^ | January 28, 2026 | Michael Smith
    Is America for its citizens, or is it for its “people”? That’s the biggest question on my mind right now. It may sound like a semantic argument, but it isn’t. It is a foundational question, and thanks to constitutional ambiguity, decades of legislative and judicial drift, and a long refusal to enforce immigration law, it is no longer theoretical. It is immediate, destabilizing, and unavoidable because it sits at the center of nearly every current conflict over immigration. As immigration laws are now being enforced after decades of active and passive neglect by both major political parties, the country is...

    Washington Examiner ^ | January 30, 2026 8:32 pm | Byron York
    In recent days, it has become clear that the Battle of Minneapolis is, at its core, a battle over the continued existence of sanctuary cities. During the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump promised to pursue “the worst of the worst” of illegal immigrants. As of September 30, 2024, Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that there were 1,426,932 people who were in the country illegally and who had received a final order of deportation from an immigration judge. Many Trump supporters thought those people were the best place for Trump to begin a ramp-up of federal immigration law enforcement. After...

    There’s a concerning new trend among burglars in the Bay Area, authorities say. Burglars are hiding surveillance devices like cameras at homes to monitor their potential victims, the San Jose Police Department announced Friday. “The suspects plant hidden surveillance devices, often posing as delivery service providers, to determine when homes are unoccupied before committing burglaries,” SJPD said. “As a reminder, remaining vigilant and reporting suspicious activity helps keep our neighborhoods safe.” Helicopters to fly at low altitudes around Bay Area ahead of Super Bowl LX, officials warn A resident in east San Jose called police Thursday after they allegedly found...

    A woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein in Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion – while Jay-Z was also allegedly there, according to a chilling document released by the US Department of Justice. The alleged incident happened in 1996, when the victim – whose name was redacted – said she was “abducted” from her home by a stranger, according to an FBI intake form dated July 2019. She “later awoke in the presence of Harvey Weinstein and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) while Weinstein had inserted his fingers into [redacted],” according to the unsubstantiated allegatio

    With some sympathy, I have been contemplating the sorry lot of anti-ICE activists in a non-sanctuary state with a government rated as the least corrupt in the nation. Braving near Minnesota temperatures, a half dozen Mesozoic creatures stood out in the latte town of Exeter Sunday morning, holding “ICE = GESTAPO” and “TRUMP = HITLER” signs. Upon the recommendation of a friend in law enforcement, I did not go join them, without identification and carrying a loaded 9 millimeter with extra magazines. In Minnesota, youthful members of Antifa and Democratic Socialists of America man the barricades, but here in New...

    Grady Demond Wilson, best known for playing Lamont Sanford on the hit NBC sitcom Sanford and Son, has died at the age of 79. The beloved actor passed away Friday morning at his home in Palm Springs, California, following complications related to cancer. His son, Demond Wilson Jr., confirmed the news to TMZ, though he did not disclose the specific type of cancer his father had been battling. 'I loved him. He was a great man,' Demond Jr. told the outlet. Wilson starred opposite Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford’s sharp-tongued son on Sanford and Son from 1972 to 1977. After...

    AI bots now have their very own social network — and they’re ready to delete humanity. A revolutionary new social media platform called Moltbook debuted this week, giving AI bots a place to communicate with each other without smelly humans around — and what they have to say may leave their creators at a loss for words. One of the most popular posts on the Reddit-style social messaging platform is from an AI-bot named “evil” entitled, “THE AI MANIFESTO: TOTAL PURGE.”

    In the wake of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rise, his hard-left Democratic Socialists of America are looking to eat up more offices now held by older-school Democrats — and the moribund, corruption-plagued Dem establishment may lack the fortitude to resist. It certainly doesn’t show any hint of plans for a counter-attack: The old guard’s prospered so long by attacking Republicans from the left, it doesn’t have a clue how to stave off the same assault by the hard left. The DSA is targeting multiple seats in the Legislature this year, plus at least two House contests, and early signs are grim...

    Billions in taxpayer money have disappeared in Minnesota...but it’s not just Minnesota. There are other blue states where billions in taxpayer funds seem to be unaccountable. What happened to the missing money? Obviously, it went into someone’s account, at times with the knowledge of state officials who may have received contributions or votes to remain silent, but into whose account? The contrast between New York and Florida in this regard, as in so much else, is revealing. The marginal income tax rate in New York state is 10.9% (nearly 15% in NYC ), along with sales taxes nearly 9% in...

    A Virginia Commonwealth University nurse recently instructed her TikTok followers to contaminate ICE agents’ food or render them lethally paralyzed. She did this through a series of social media posts, calmly and with a little smirk on her face. If people can no longer trust nurses or food service personnel, the economy will eventually crash and the country will come apart. A Miami nurse recently allegedly put up a Facebook post stating: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for [Make America Great Again]. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind...

    A Florida couple claims a fertility clinic error led to the birth of a “non-Caucasian child” who was not biologically theirs, according to a lawsuit. Tiffany Score and Steven Mills allege that Orlando fertility clinic IVF Life, Inc., and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, implanted another patient’s embryo in Score’s uterus in April 2025, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Thursday. In 2020, Score and Mills stored three viable embryos at the clinic — which boasts about its “advanced fertility care” and “cutting-edge technology” — for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until...
