We gotta get surgery and get that out so we can investigate what the f*** that is,' Brown pushed back.

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Easter Island may finally be solved - as scientists pinpoint who built the iconic stone heads over 900 years ago. In the past, researchers assumed that the 12 to 80-ton statues would have required the combined efforts of hundreds of labourers to build and move. However, new archaeological evidence shows that the statues, known as moai, were not carved by a single powerful chiefdom. Instead, each moai was carved by a small clan or by an individual family, with as few as four to six people working on a single statue. Using a new...

As a matter of unlovely habit, apologists for illegal immigrants are wont to dismissively declare that, by entering the United States without permission and remaining here without the requisite legal dispensation, they have committed only a “civil infraction.” Insofar as this is true, it represents such a limited rejoinder to the objection as to be meaningless. Rare is the illegal immigrant who breaks into America and then does nothing else besides. Illegal immigrants work without permission. They dodge the country’s archipelago of employment law. They use government services that are designed to exclude them. They dishonestly submit forms that compel...

JUST IN: New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick is being RIPPED for falsely claiming, "being in the country illegally is a CIVIL issue..." "...and we will not enforce civil law."

Anti-ICE protesters tried to freeze business at a Southern California Home Depot Saturday by gobbling up cheap ice scrapers and then returning them en masse to denounce immigration raids at the hardware chain. The demonstration, known as a “buy-in,” clogged up registers at the store in Monrovia, when nearly a hundred activists snatched up the 17-cent ice scrapers, only to turn around and return them immediately. Some of the demonstrators waved signs with the orange and white Home Dept logo reading “ICE out of The Home Depot,” “No Secret Police,” and “No to ICE,” according to video posted on Reddit....

California gubernatorial candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claimed that members of the military are telling him they can be a “check” on President Donald Trump. On Don Lemon’s show Monday, Swalwell discussed the controversy over a video of six Democratic lawmakers urging service members to “refuse illegal orders” from Trump. […] Swalwell argued that the Trump administration “told on” itself by going after (Mark) Kelly for his call to resist “illegal orders” and revealed that some service members have been behaving as a “check” on the president. “What gives me hope, and I talk to service members all the...

I used to think that teachers were so much smarter than the rest of us. I used to think that principals were even smarter than teachers. But I was wrong. I just got a look at the testimony of an Oregon elementary school principal before a local school board meeting, and it occurred to me that she must have missed most of her history and civics classes during more than 12 years of state school indoctrination. She lamented seeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers run operations and arrest people who are wanted on criminal warrants and illegally...

Loving Our Neighbor Means Expelling the Lawless I have watched the streets of Charlotte these past days, and I cannot be silent. I’ve lived here my entire life, and I’ve watched as large parts of this beautiful city has deteriorated over the years into third-world cesspools of criminal activity, drugs, and urban decay. Stand on any street corner in East Charlotte, and what was once a safe, thriving city with shops, retail, and highly rated restaurants now looks no different than taking a stroll down any street in Mexico City. This weekend, ICE arrived, and what began as “Operation Charlotte’s...

The concerns surrounding Trump’s immigration clampdown in the Tar Heel state speak to a tension at the center of the president’s immigration agenda.Patrick Sebastian, a GOP pollster based in North Carolina, said voters “draw a clear line” between deporting immigrants who are living in the country illegally and working but not breaking other laws, and unauthorized immigrants who have committed crimes. “In purple states, there’s broad support for removing the latter — and the left looks foolish protesting that,” Sebastian said. “But the other narrative has gotten more play over the past week, and that could be a problem for...

President Donald Trump has decided to pause sending the National Guard to New York City after meeting with the city's Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. The Republican leader has been thinking about whether or not to deploy troops to the Big Apple, similar to what he's done in other Democrat-run cities in a bid to crack down on crime, but during an interview Saturday Trump appeared to change his tune. When asked if he still wanted to go forward with his plan by MS NOW reporter Akalya Gardner, Trump said he would do so only if needed, but right now, his home...

The following quote is the opening salvo from an article titled “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer,” by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo, both with the Manhattan Institute: Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots. [snip] In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal...
