With the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, panicked liberals fearful of a Fascism that never seems to happen outside of their fervid imaginations are seeking an escape route via obtaining foreign citizenship. Also key to their escape from Orange Man Bad is getting foreign passports as chronicled on Monday in the New Yorker by Lauren Markham, "Seeking a Second Passport."The subtitle only adds to the hilarity of their inflated paranoia: "For some Americans, citizenship in a country their ancestors fled is now an insurance plan."

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports the latest.

The left will always live in the 1960s. The latest episode of the story is another group of socialists travelling to Cuba to show their support for the Cuban revolution. These people love revolutions, don’t they? What they don’t love are the victims of those revolutions. This is the story: The Democratic Socialists of America announced that 20 DSA members will join an international group of humanitarians, the so-called Nuestra América Convoy, which says it is delivering critical aid to Cuba amid an economic and energy crisis caused by America’s blockade of fuel, flights, and other essential supplies... It has...

Boy, it's been a struggle whipping up ugly racist sentiment since President Trump "closed" the border last year. No more stories about immigrant caravans marching ominously north to steal our jobs and rape our women. No more tall tales of Haitian gangs eating the cats, eating the dogs. Sure, immigrants might still be "poisoning the blood" of our country, as the president claimed numerous times during his 2024 campaign. But with so many violent deportations and the killing of two white American citizens protesting them, that rhetoric has lost some of its glow. What we need are some fresh scapegoats....

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood could throw Keir Starmer’s government into fresh turmoil by resigning if the Prime Minister blocks her tough immigration reforms. Number 10 has signalled a potential u-turn over the changes, following opposition from Labour backbenchers led by Angela Rayner, the former Deputy Prime Minister. But Ms Mahmood is determined to press ahead with measures making it harder for migrants to claim indefinite leave to remain, also known as settlement, which makes them eligible for benefits and social housing. The Home Secretary is said to have told the Prime Minister: “If I can’t do my job, I won’t...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(3/22/26)[Prayer]A New Study For A New Year: PersonalitiesExodus 2:11–25 11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said...

Whether in a war to save civilization from fanatics, in beating back election cheating, in deportations of illegals, or in exposing and punishing deep state interference, it’s not a good idea to bet against Trump winning. Despite the fact that funding for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was already set for three years, Senate Democrats insisted on shutting down funding for DHS (Department of Homeland Security), CBP (Customs and Border Protection), and TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) in an effort to geld ICE. This partial shutdown lasted over 30 days, with delays at airports reaching as long as three hours. TSA...

A banner draped over a 9/11 memorial, which was advertising a new Islamic portion of a Contra Costa County cemetery, was removed after receiving backlash. The owner of the Memorial Gardens Cemetery said he recently sold a portion of the property to an Islamic family who plans to open memorial garden. He said he gave them permission to put up signage but did not authorize them to drape it over the 9/11 installation. He ordered it to be removed as soon as he learned about it. Workers took it down just before noon, but many said it should have never...

New York City approved plans for an all-male homeless shelter in the middle of the residential South Shore of Staten Island – proof of Mayor Mamdani’s hatred for the forgotten and conservative borough, locals told The Post. Fed-up residents believe the 160-bed shelter coming to the corner of Arthur Kill and Richmond Valley Road in Charleston will bring crime, drugs and loitering, and see the move as yet another insult from the socialist mayor. “A hundred percent he wants to screw us because we vote conservative,” said Bruce Daniele, whose gym business Intoxx Fitness is across the street from the...

Amnesty has documented ... The organisation says such torture is routinely used to extract 'confessions' before any legal proceedings have taken place, with the Iranian state broadcaster airing footage of detainees making televised admissions that rights groups say are coerced. Rights groups reveal amid fury over sickening nurse gang rape Iran's barbaric regime has long used sexual violence as a sickening tool to crush dissent. Known for their brutality, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) slaughtered thousands of protesters who dared to take to the streets in anti-government protests in January. But despite their fearsome reputation, the sadistic sexual punishments...

British cabinet minister Steve Reed ​said on Sunday that there was no ‌assessment that backed claims Iran is planning to strike Europe with ballistic missiles, or that it even has ​the capacity to do so. On Saturday, the ​Israel Defence Forces posted on social media that ⁠Iran has missiles "that can reach London, Paris ​or Berlin". "There is no assessment to substantiate what's being ​said," British Housing Secretary Reed told the BBC. "I'm not aware of any assessment at all that they are even ​trying to target Europe, let alone that they ​could if they tried."

Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun, and while the transgender movement may feel new and modern, it echoes a cult from ancient Rome—during a “culture war” not dissimilar from our own, according to the detransitioner Forrest Smith. The cult of Cybele or the Magna Mater, an ancient Roman “mystery religion,” highlighted effeminate men and even included the story of a man getting castrated in a religious ritual. “I learned about this because it was a piece of rhetoric within my former community that trans people have always existed,” Smith—a man who identified as a woman and went...

@ShadowofEzra Lindsey Graham goes full psychopath and has a message for his "haters," saying there’s nothing they can do about him telling President Trump to go to war with Iran. He says you better get used to it by drinking water and staying hydrated. “There’s nothing you can say or do that's going to change my mind.”

CHICAGO - Tenants at Chaney Braggs Apartments, at 65th Street and Stony Island Avenue, held a rally Thursday morning, protesting possible rent increases and the threat of losing their homes as construction continues at the Obama Presidential Center a few blocks away. Residents say a California investor wants to buy the building and either gut and rehab it or demolish it. According to tenants, the buyer is offering a $2,000 cash payment for each family to move out. Most tenants currently pay $700 to $800 a month in rent, and many have lived in the building for 30 or even...

A 55-year-old man convicted for murdering his girlfriend in South Los Angeles was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Darryl Lamar Collins, of Los Angeles, killed Fatima Johnson in her apartment in July 2021, a slaying that came just under a year after he was granted parole for two murders in 1995. Johnson's cause of death was asphyxia due to neck pressure and possible smothering, according to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office. The 53-year-old victim was found by her daughters and best friend - bound with shoe laces and duct tape, gagged and wrapped...

Former Clinton aide and Democratic strategist Paul Begala said the Democratic Party has drifted toward becoming a "faculty lounge," criticizing what he described as growing elitism within its ranks. During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday, Begala discussed how Democrats’ election strategy has evolved, and Maher referenced California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent comment that the party needs to be more "culturally normal" to win. In a February interview with CNN, Newsom said Democrats should be "less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity politics." "We used to be the party of the factory floor,...

PITTSBURGH -- Plenty of kids know the joy of a snow day, but what about a draft day? Pittsburgh Public Schools students are about to find out. The district notified staff and families that it will operate remotely April 22-24 as the city prepares for and hosts the NFL draft. With city officials anticipating up to 700,000 visitors and travel disruptions around the region, the school district determined that it would be less disruptive to students to transition to "asynchronous teaching and learning." "Our priority is maintaining continuity of learning while recognizing the extraordinary circumstances the city will experience during...

A US rocket scientist vanished without a trace on a Los Angeles hike eight months before retired Air Force Gen. William McCasland disappeared under eerily similar circumstances — and the two had a close professional connection. Monica Reza went missing on the morning of June 22, 2025, in the Angeles National Forest while hiking with two experienced companions who were exploring the popular Mount Waterman Trail, according to a Facebook page dedicated to finding her. Volunteers and authorities searched the area for months using helicopters, radar, droves of hikers, and dogs — but have found no trace of Reza, 60,...
