A protest in San Antonio was attended by more than 300 people who were angry with the latest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) mass deportation enforcement actions. The rally was organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. This political party also organized and rallied leftist activists to resist the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration law in Los Angeles. Breitbart Texas observed that the protest in San Antonio, held on the steps of City Hall on Sunday morning, was attended by other activist groups that support the effort to abolish ICE and to call for an end to the...

What began as a so-called “spontaneous protest” against ICE enforcement operations in Los Angeles has now been exposed as something far more insidious: a well-funded, coordinated riot, with ties to radical left-wing organizations, government-backed NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda. According to a damning exposé by investigative account @DataRepublican, several nonprofit organizations and shadowy political fronts played a pivotal role in igniting the chaos that saw federal officers attacked, flags burned, and city streets blocked. But what’s more alarming: tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money may have indirectly fueled the unrest. WHO’S BEHIND...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called on former first lady Jill Biden to “answer for” her role in the massive cover-up of her husband’s declining mental aptitude, accusing her of still “lying to the American people.” Leavitt unleashed her fiery tirade against the wife of former President Joe Biden while speaking to reporters on Thursday: “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband… Because I think anybody, looking again at the videos and photo evidence of Joe Biden, with your own eyes and a little bit of...

Rodriguez's trip to People’s Congress of Resistance at Howard University sheds light on path to radicalism. A radical left-wing group described as a "conduit" between the Chinese Communist Party and domestic anti-Israel groups raised money for Elias Rodriguez, the 30-year-old Chicago native who allegedly murdered two Israeli diplomats in Washington, D.C., to attend a "resistance" conference in September 2017. There, Rodriguez rubbed shoulders with "comrades" from pro-Hamas groups and other radical organizations, coming away impressed with their "commitment to actually getting things done," according to a video and an online fundraiser unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon. Rodriguez’s attendance at...

“Don’t blame me, I voted for Hamas.”Elias Rodriguez opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing two, a soon to be engaged Israeli couple, and wounded two others, but few media outlets reported his political orientation and his background. Or the outpouring of support from the anti-Israel Left. In 2023, stickers reading “Exterminate Zionists” and the name of the Party for Socialism and Liberation appeared at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Rodriguez had been a member of the affiliated University of Illinois at Chicago and had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. According to Rodriguez’s manifesto,...

Monday on FNC’s “Special Report,” long-time network personality Brit Hume predicted Democrats would be answering for the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s health issues for a “generation.” Hume argued that those in Biden’s inner circle were aware of Biden’s problems. “I mean, do you think impacts politically are real?” host Bret Baier asked. “Yes, I think they’re very real,” Hume replied. “And I think, you know, a lot of Democrats have a lot to answer for because they were trying to cover up something that, as I said before, trying to hide something that was unhidable. So, you...

Monday on CNN’s “NewsNight,” CNN contributor Scott Jennings batted down co-panelist Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky’s response to recent revelations about former President Joe Biden’s health. Roginsky argued the focus should be on President Donald Trump, not Biden. Jennings rebutted Roginsky by noting Biden’s health was a prominent story in the news cycle, and Democrats’ response was “Trump.” Partial transcript as follows: JENNINGS: Are you arguing that Joe Biden was fine during his — ROGINSKY: I’m not arguing that he was fine. I’m arguing that — JENNINGS: You keep pivoting back to Trump, who’s — who’s clearly fine. ROGINSKY: I’m sorry....

A tense exchange unfolded on CNN on Wednesday as Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins challenged host Kaitlan Collins on the network’s recent settlement of a $5 million defamation case involving a Navy veteran. The unexpected shift occurred after repeated questioning regarding leaked national security discussions within the Trump administration, leading the secretary to turn the tables on the interviewer. Initially, Kaitlan Collins pressed Secretary Collins for his perspective on the recent controversy surrounding leaked group chat messages discussing sensitive war plans. The secretary repeatedly deflected, emphasizing his commitment solely to veterans’ welfare.

I am having a back and forth with Japan Today regarding their publishing of an article which appeared in Capitol Hill Blue that has subsequently been exposed to be false.Japan Today did not get the article from Capitol Hill Blue though. They got it from Truthout.org, a leftist propaganda outfit.I wanted to see if Truthout.org even had the story up on their site. I went to their main page, Truthout.org and checked. Nothing. I noticed a search box up at the top. So I took a phrase from the original article, sought significant quantities and hit search.Bingo.Here is what the...

Democrat mayors refused to answer whether they would turn over illegal immigrant criminals to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a hearing on Wednesday. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson would not explicitly answer Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer’s (R-KY) question. “Would you turn this criminal over to ICE on a detainer?” Comer asked Johnson, to which the Chicago mayor replied by dodging the question, stating, “Our local law enforcement works hard every day to get criminals off the streets of Chicago.”

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith appeared on The View on Tuesday, but they may be more careful about which questions they ask him the next time they have him on. Joy Behar queried Smith about the 2024 election, asking a long, leading question in which she sought to downplay President Trump’s sweeping victory and destroy any notion that he had a mandate from the American people. However, Smith was having none of it. He took Behar on a point-by-point journey, refuting her assertion, adding some of his own, and proving that the American people indeed handed Trump a mandate. “He won...

Legendary Hollywood actor Bill Murray trashed Bob Woodward during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, challenging the author’s work after delving into just a few pages of Wired: The Short Life & Fast Times of John Belushi, Woodward’s 1984 tome chronicling the life of John Belushi. Murray was clearly underwhelmed by Woodward’s attempt to capture the character of his friend and fellow actor Belushi, claiming Woodward’s lackadaisical relationship with the facts could easily have been transposed into his work as a Washington Post reporter in the early 1907s that helped topple U.S. President Richard Nixon via the Watergate scandal..

In the wake of a deadly Israeli strike at a tent camp in Rafah last week which produced horrific viral footage of charred corpses, days after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to immediately halt military operations, and miles beyond Biden's 'red line' (using US bombs, no less), pro-Palestine, anti-war activists are taking to the White House one week from today. ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), an anti-war group founded three days after the September 11, 2001 attacks, has launched an event to "Get on a bus to DC" and "Surround the White House for...

Some of the anti-Israel protests taking place at U.S. college campuses, including the recent demonstrations at Columbia University, have been supported by organizations that traveled to communist Cuba to receive resistance training, an ADN investigation has uncovered. ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to...

A prominent social justice and environmental activist group with high-level access in the Biden administration employs one of the so-called “top soldiers” of the Nation of Islam, a Black nationalist religious organization with a long track record of antisemitism and racism. Terence Muhammad, the lead events and field coordinator for the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Hip Hop Caucus, has repeatedly praised the Nation of Islam and its current leader, Louis Farrakhan, according to a Fox News Digital review of social media posts. The Hip Hop Caucus, whose stated mission is to fight injustice and enact change, has been involved in key...

2024 GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie on Sunday criticized his primary opponents for not clearly stating their positions on federal abortion policy, saying voters deserve a “straight answer” from the candidates. “I’m concerned, quite frankly, Margaret, that, you know, candidates in this race have been all over the block on this. And it’s not right. People deserve to have a straight answer from you. And that’s my straight answer,” Christie told CBS News’s Margaret Brennan in an interview on “Face the Nation.”
