    MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance seems to believe illegal aliens are justified in shooting federal immigration enforcement agents because they think they’re being kidnapped. No, really. Hear her for yourself. (WATCH)https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1944535049476743189

    RNS) — The United Church of Christ passed a resolution at its General Synod this week denouncing what it called “domestic terrorism” by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing the Constitution. The denomination’s criticism focused on immigration raids “carried out by ICE agents working without uniforms, wearing masks or refusing to identify themselves.” The resolution of witness, titled “Responding to the federal government’s attack on immigrants, migrants, and refugees,” also officially calls for the UCC to divest from “for-profit private detention businesses,” naming three such businesses — CoreCivic, GEO Group, and Management and Training...

    It takes the undeveloped ego of a toddler to pout this long. But if Elmo on Sesame Street can learn how to share, surely these three can too. For all its concern about a peaceful transfer of power, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) are probably not planning a story about the three board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) who have refused to leave the board after Trump removed them in April.Not so long ago — in 2020 and 2021 — PBS and NPR were spreading propaganda that President Donald Trump was going...

    Now Zohran Mamdani, in addition to ticking off the Jewish Americans who make up 11% of his city’s population, is ticking off Italian-Americans (another large minority). An old Twitter post (2020) has resurfaced, and it’s not a good look for the wannabe mayor of the Big Apple.

    Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said in a new interview that she is most inspired when she sees people obstructing ICE. "Some of the most inspiring things have been when people encircle courtrooms and refuse to allow ICE agents in," Jayapal said during a conversation with Joy Reid on Friday's episode of "The Joy Reid Show." "There are all kinds of nonviolent resistance tactics that we have to use," Jayapal added. "And I've started something called Resistance Lab… It's a training on really the documented most effective ways to counter democratic backsliding, nonviolent resistance tactics to build that movement." The Resistance...

    Trump has largely shut down the southwest border by ending asylum programs and deploying troops. But those moves have shrunk the pool of easy-to-deport migrants.TIJUANA, Mexico — When President Donald Trump pledged to launch the “largest deportation operation in American history,” this border city swung into action. The local government declared a state of emergency. Federal authorities built a shelter for up to 2,600 deportees, complete with beds, showers and white-coated chefs. It was, one local official said, the “zombie apocalypse scenario.” But five months after Trump took office, the shelter is nearly empty. So few deportees have arrived —...

    Dems are too clever by half. One cannot peruse X without reading a democrat whine about the treatment of illegal aliens. A host of democrat mayors and governors have pledged not to cooperate with ICE and the Feds but in so doing are actually helping Donald Trump deport those who have illegally broken into the country. MSNBC political Analyst Tim Miller claims that it's un-American for the Trump administration to deport illegal aliens. Was it also un-American to open our borders and let millions pour in over the last four years? This is one of Trump's strongest policies. Deporting people...

    Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's attempt to mock President Donald Trump's military parade honoring the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army backfired on social media as conservatives and other critics lambasted her for allegedly holding "utter contempt" for the U.S. military, while others slammed her for spending the weekend in the Hamptons attending her former longtime aide's wedding while criticizing Trump. "This witch was a few votes away from becoming commander in chief. This is what she thinks of our military. Man, @BuzzPatterson was right. Hillary hates the troops," conservative X commentator Benny Johnson posted in response to Clinton's...

    The dad of a young union worker and socialist activist arrested by the FBI for handing out face shields to dozens of LA rioters said his son isn’t a criminal — but slammed him for supplying the anti-ICE riots, and leading the feds to bust down the door of their family home. Francisco Orellana’s reaction to seeing his son Alejandro “Alex” Orellana driving a truck loaded with supplies for protesters was: “What the f--- are you doing?” The elder Orellana, a US citizen who moved to the US in the 1970s, told The Post the feds handcuffed the whole family...

    “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley spoke out about President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against CBS and its parent company on Saturday, arguing that a settlement would be “very damaging.” “Well, it’d be very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies,” Pelley said during a conversation with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Saturday, who asked how harmful a settlement and potential apology would be to the network. Trump filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS News’ parent company, over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in October 2024. Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump rejected...

    A growing number of Americans are looking at dual citizenship as a fallback plan in times of widespread uncertainty and deepening political divisions, with young people leading the change.A recent survey conducted by Harris Poll found that four in ten U.S. adults (42 percent) have considered or plan to relocate outside the country to improve their quality of life or financial position. Among Gen Zers, this number went up to 63 percent, while 52 percent of millennials were considering moving abroad."For most of modern history, the American Dream was rooted in one place: America. But that's shifting," Tim Osieki, director...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — For months, American consumers and businesses have been hearing that President Trump’s massive import taxes – tariffs – would drive up prices and hurt the U.S. economy. But the latest economic reports don’t match the doom and gloom: Inflation actually eased last month, and hiring was solid in April. For now, the disconnect has businesses and consumers struggling to reconcile what they were told to expect, what the numbers say and what they are seeing on the ground. Trump and his supporters are quick to point out that the trade wars of his first term didn’t translate...

    Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased. “It was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,” Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didn’t insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic. When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense....
