The devices — made out of 1x8-inch pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder —...

The United Kingdom needs to be turned off and rebooted. No, I take that back. It needs a whole new operating system. The current one has become infected with a virus that has scrambled everything, and there is no way to set things right.

Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson suggested on Tuesday that the Chicago Police should arrest ICE agents and other federal officers who he claims are breaking his new executive order aimed at hampering immigration enforcement. On Monday, Johnson signed a dubious executive order creating “ICE-Free Zones” to ban federal agents from using city-owned properties as staging areas for immigration enforcement. Johnson’s proclamation comes as President Donald Trump suggested that the anti-ICE actions by Chicago’s leaders are akin to an insurrection against the federal government. Now, the mayor is claiming that violations of his orders are a “crime” and those who break...

When Coast Guard Officer Shane Sprague bought a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X in Thunderstorm Gray, he expected the deal to be straightforward. He left South Florida's Doral Volkswagen on June 21 after depositing $15,000 while covering the remaining price through a trade in and financing. Unfortunately, he had no way to know that the dealership's finance manager had made a mistake with the VIN, accidentally linking his plates to a different truck. That clerical error led the dealership to report the Sierra as stolen and trigger its LoJack tracker. However, Sprague never agreed to having a tracker installed, which...

In the footage, the Salvadoran man is seen bound by restraints while being escorted by an individual wearing a vest that reads, "POLICE ICE."

The Maduro regime wasn’t sharing information with...

Had the American people not rallied around President Trump as odious phony prosecutions engulfed him during his presidential campaign, he may not have been re-elected president and instead endured a terrible fate. In South America this week, we are seeing how bad it could have been. Late yesterday, Brazil's manic, freakish, version of Judge James Boasberg, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, ordered Brazil's equivalent of President Trump, former President Jair Bolsonaro arrested for questioning the 2022 Brazilian presidential electoral result, that, as with President Trump, he was mysteriously defeated in by a narrow margin after showing significant strength on the campaign...

The Texas House passed a motion on Monday to issue arrest warrants for more than 50 Democratic lawmakers after they failed to appear at the chamber to vote on a Republican-led effort to redistrict the state’s congressional maps. Democratic lawmakers broke quorum by fleeing to blue states like Illinois and New York and by not returning when the chamber gaveled at 3 p.m. Their absence led state House Speaker Dustin Burrows to say he would immediately sign civil warrants to permit the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest them and return them to the state Capitol. “The sergeant-at-arms and...
