At a meeting with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Robert Garcia announced that the House Democrats on the Oversight Committee would be launching a ‘Master ICE tracker’. This follows the previous removal of ICE trackers by Apple and Facebook after the apps and sites tracking activity by immigration law enforcement personnel led to multiple violent confrontations with illegal alien activists, ugly acts of violence and at least one death so far. These confrontations are not just the work of random extremists, but of a leftist activist base supported by top Democrats and the media which have promoted ICE trackers,...

After 140 days of chaos, disorder, and lawlessness outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, police finally moved in and cleared Antifa’s encampment on Saturday morning. More than 30 officers braved heavy rain to dismantle the site, ordering demonstrators to remove tents, supplies, and gear that had clogged the area for nearly five months. The encampment, long a symbol of Democrat weakness and radical left-wing extremism, collapsed in hours. For conservatives and law-abiding residents of Portland, it was a long-overdue victory for public order. Since June, Antifa activists had effectively taken control of the street outside ICE’s South Portland facility....

A plan at Utah Valley University (UVU) to create a memorial to Charlie Kirk has been met by protests and a petition signed by thousands to block the effort. One protester declared, “We don’t want his likeness on campus.” That is hardly a new sentiment since Kirk was assassinated on the campus on Sept. 10, 2025. However, the protest shows the sense of license that many have in opposing anyone with conflicting views, including those represented in memorials. I have a long history with UVU and was pleased to receive the Madison award from the university, and was declared an...

The first immigration case NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani may have to confront if elected could be his own – as two House Republicans push the Justice Department to probe his path to citizenship and possibly boot him from the US. Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) last week demanded the feds “review every naturalization of the past 30 years – starting with Mamdani.” “I just think we need to take a hard look at how these folks became citizens, and if there is any fraud or any violation of the rules we need to denaturalize and deport,” Fine told the Post.

Jonathan Alpert says protesters are craving community validation in era where therapy speak dominates culture. At last weekend’s "No Kings" protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said that the "No Kings" protests are a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur. "What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets," he told Fox News Digital. According to researchers at American University who track protest movements,...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville caused outrage and renewed partisan tensions this week after remarks in which he described a “fantasy” scenario of public humiliation for supporters of President Donald Trump and institutions that align with him. The comments came during an appearance on the podcast Politics War Room with co-host Al Hunt, and quickly drew attention for their provocative imagery and historical reference points. Carville accused Trump of being a “tin-pot tyrant” with “no use for democracy” and warned that companies, universities and law firms who “bend the knee” to his agenda will face more than political consequences —...

In California, US Rep. Robert Garcia announced that "the House Democrats on the Oversight Committee are establishing a 'Master ICE Tracker' that will help our Antifa street fighters locate where immigrants are being arrested and allow them to intervene and prevent the deportation of the folks invited into our country by former President Biden." Apple and Facebook have removed similar ICE trackers from their platforms lest they be held liable for damages in any violent confrontations enabled by their ICE trackers. Garcia explained his strategy, saying "with the government shutdown there is no money to pay the ICE agents that...

In a reckless and malicious move that’s drawing fire from conservatives, Illinois State Representative Margaret Croke sent out an email on Friday listing detailed descriptions of vehicles suspected to belong to ICE agents operating in Chicago neighborhoods. The flyer, titled “Updated List of ICE Vehicles Seen Today,” includes make, model, color, and partial license plate info for cars believed to belong to agents working in the area. Croke urged recipients to report suspicious activity to hotlines, claiming that ICE actions are “unlawful and undemocratic” and offering resources to connect illegal aliens with attorneys or social services. Conservatives, including the popular...

They should be put in orange pajamas, and they should be marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. And the public should be invited to spit on them."Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is fantasizing about having President Donald Trump’s “collaborators” publicly humiliated and paraded in the streets — and he says that “the public should be invited to spit on them.” Carville, the brains behind former President Bill Clinton’s “it’s the economy, stupid,” was speaking with Al Hunt on his “Politics War Room” podcast when he laid out what he referred to as a “fantasy dream” sequence of events that he’d like to...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” DNC Chair Ken Martin stated that the Democratic Party’s job right now is to win elections, and if “we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different” “and we may be nearing” that moment, but for now, their job is winning elections. Martin said, “[L]et me say to you, what is the role of the Democratic Party in this moment? Our job is to win, to win elections. That is...

They’re not the only ones and don’t forget that.” Click here for video.

No other state in the country has a higher prevalence of mental illness. At the same time, access to care in Oregon is improving.As one of her key campaign promises, Gov. Tina Kotek committed herself to battling the state’s persistent mental health challenges. A recent report suggests she still has work to do.

The City of Portland assisted a controversial anti-ICE organization in securing a vacant office space on the ground floor of an apartment building directly across the street from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, which has been under siege by demonstrators, many of whom are involved with Antifa networks, since early June. The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC), a taxpayer-funded non-governmental organization (NGO), is known for conducting trainings on how to disrupt ICE operations, as well as providing guidance to illegal immigrants on the best practices to evade apprehension by federal authorities.

Graham Platner, the Maine Democratic Senate candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), wrote in 2020 that he had an "antifa supersoldier" label on his "armor," according to an archived post reviewed by Axios. Why it matters: Progressives have elevated Platner as one of their top candidates in next year's midterm elections, but his old Reddit posts have thrown his campaign into turmoil. Platner is running to unseat Sen. Susan Collins, Senate Democrats' top Republican target next year. The contest for the Democratic nomination between Platner and Maine Gov. Janet Mills — who's preferred by Democratic Party leaders — already...
