WASHINGTON (AP) — Hurling a sandwich at a federal agent was an act of protest for Washington, D.C., resident Sean Charles Dunn.

It was an “exclamation point” for...

A division within the FBI is asking defense contractors to report incursions by “unmanned systems” — including unidentified anomalous phenomena — that could pose a threat to U.S. national security. NewsNation special investigative correspondent Ross Coulthart has obtained a flyer produced by the FBI’s Office of the Private Sector announcing a new initiative to report unmanned systems such as drones and underwater vehicles that could pose a threat to defense facilities and “critical infrastructure” sites. The document notes an increase in “incursions over recent months” and says the unmanned systems “may be intended to disrupt operations or gauge U.S. response...

More than a month after President Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terror organization, a group of senators is proposing legislation to codify the president’s executive order. The Stop ANTIFA Act has been introduced by U.S. Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, which would direct the National Joint Terrorism Task Force to investigate Antifa.

Most Americans expect political violence to keep growing in the United States and believe that it is likely a political candidate will be assassinated in the next few years. Widespread pessimism about political violence is a rare, grim point of consensus in a country riven by political and cultural divisions. A majority of Americans, 55 percent, expect political violence to increase, according to a new poll from POLITICO and Public First. That figure underscores just how much the spate of attacks — from the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year to the attempts on President Donald Trump’s...

Across the country, refuse to comply. Every person of conscience, millions of us together, grind the machinery of the...

AOC and Mamdani the Commie are ascendant in the leftist cold civil war because the sane have been silenced by fear. It can be quite amusing and disturbing at the same time when someone who has lost the plot openly states that "... we are not the crazy ones. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane." But there she was the other night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez herself, making that claim. Because it's the same as someone claiming he is patriotic – if you have to speak up and say it, no one believes you are. The...

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear the Trump administration’s appeal to deploy and federalize the National Guard to Portland, OR. The “majority of nonrecused active judges” voted to rehear the case en banc. En banc requires the approval of a majority of the judges of the 9th Circuit. In this case, the panel will consist of eleven judges. Last week, a three-judge panel froze a lower court order that stopped President Donald Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut placed two restraining orders on Trump: no federalization of the Oregon National Guard...

Lance Twiggs, the transgender partner of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, has seemingly vanished from his hometown just six weeks after the killing.

Authorities say Twiggs has cooperated fully with investigators but has declined to speak publicly about the incident. Robinson, on Monday, made a brief court appearance, where the judge ruled on his request to appear in court...

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity. At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”. Roske wanted to kill three Supreme Court justices so that “there are...
