Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) over a video posted on social media this past November urging members of the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.” *** Slotkin, who previously accused Trump of “directing the FBI to target us” and “weaponizing the federal government” against...

How stupid and offensive was the the Super Bowl halftime show? Here’s a game that has evolved over the decades to become an unofficial American holiday and long shared a patriotic spirit similar to that felt during Fourth of July celebrations. It has created and sustained tremendous brand value for the National Football League. But rather than protect that investment, Roger Goodell and the NFL lit it on fire for laughs. Or to make a political statement… I guess. Because it’s pretty difficult to ignore the intended message of “entertainers” singing in a foreign language, waving foreign flags, and simulating...

Here are some facts: 1. A small number of people commit a wildly disproportionate amount of crime, about 1% commit most crime and 3 to 5 percent commit ALL crime. 2. Offenders who commit major crimes also commit constant public order infractions, so policing public order incapacitates serious criminals. The guy who gropes women on the train or mugs people probably didn’t swipe his credit card to get through the turnstile. 3. Nearly all the people killed in controversial “Black Lives Matter” incidents belonged to the tiny subset of recidivist criminals. Jordan Neely and George Floyd are both examples of...

EU Europe is increasingly abandoning a civilized approach to dissenting opinions. The raid on the Paris offices of Elon Musk’s company X appears to be just the tip of the iceberg. Today, those who resist are being attacked on multiple levels, while those who submit are largely spared. It is time to increase pressure on Brussels. Elon Musk’s communications platform X has become caught between systemic fronts. On one side stands the American understanding of free speech, which has experienced a political revival under Donald Trump’s new presidency. On the other, an increasingly repressive EU control regime is eroding the...

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims”. With over 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims already occupying Japan, even though 95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, a political explosion was bound to occur. Now, Japanese voters have delivered a striking defeat to the forces of mass migration with a stunning win for Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, whom the media has already taken to describing as a ‘Trumpian’ figure for opposing...

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are detaining and arresting “legal observers” using their vehicles to follow agents during federal immigration enforcement operations. ICE is reportedly detaining and arresting thousands of Minnesota protestors under Title 18, Section 111 of the US Code, which prohibits citizens from interfering with a federal officer conducting official duties, according to Reuters.

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) blasted the Democrats’ ballooning list of demands to protect illegal migrant criminals — including making polling places “sanctuary locations” — instead of funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). During remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, Barrasso highlighted the Democrats’ “Christmas list of demands” they are fighting for instead of agreeing to enforce immigration law and avoiding another partial government shutdown. “Democrats have come up with a Christmas list of demands, demands designed to appeal to their radical base. This growing list of Democrat demands makes it almost impossible to remove dangerous illegal immigrants...

Detective Shaun McCarthy has worked on a lot of cases in his more than 40 years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “I was 10 years as a street gang detective, and now I’m in my 23rd year as a homicide detective,” he said. “So, a total of 33 years as a detective.” These days, he devotes his time to the cases that remain unsolved. “To solve a homicide and prosecute somebody who committed the worst crime, there is nothing higher than that.” This is why he says he said couldn’t fully retire. McCarthy, like many others in the...

The full extent of the Palisades Fire report cover-up has been revealed. The California Post has obtained the first draft of the Palisades After-Action Fire Report — before it was quietly altered and released to the public. Newly uncovered edits show sweeping changes to the 92-page document that was meant to deliver a warts-and-all account of the disaster, putting more pressure on Mayor Karen Bass to explain whether her office played a role in softening the language to blunt criticism of the city’s response to a fire that killed at least 31 people and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. Mayor...

About a quarter of “CBS Evening News” staffers eligible for buyouts have chosen the option ahead of impending layoffs under editor in chief Bari Weiss, The Post has learned.

Striking San Francisco teachers have demanded parents avoid homeschooling their children to help support their push for higher wages and better conditions. More than 50,000 children were kept home on Monday and Tuesday after teachers walked off the job and joined picket lines, demanding a nine per cent raise over two years and subsidized family health care, which the cash-strapped San Francisco School District claims it can’t afford. And with the strike set to drag into a Wednesday, local parents are now fuming after teachers emailed them and asked them not to encourage any home study. The district — which...
