The FBI has caught 5 of the 10 most wanted fugitives in the first year of President Trump's second term. FBI Director Kash Patel said the criminals "spent over three decades collectively evading justice" and they have "been put in custody" in under 1 year. "Under the leadership of President Trump, this FBI is defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and manhunting," Patel wrote on X. On Saturday, Alejandro Rosales Castillo, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was being prepared for extradition to face murder charges in North Carolina. During a congressional hearing in September, Patel said the Biden...

Hunter Biden’s former girlfriend and the mother of his 7-year-old daughter has called for the disgraced former first son to be “incarcerated” over his “antics” in failing to hold up his end of their child support deal. Lunden Roberts urged an Arkansas judge Tuesday to reopen the long-running case between the former lovers and arrest the felonious 55-year-old until he complies with the agreement they settled on in 2023, according to court records viewed by The Post. “Incarcerate him in the Independence County Detention Center as a civil penalty until he purges his contempt by complying with this court’s orders,”...

A federal judge on Friday issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blocked ICE from arresting so-called peaceful protestors. US District Judge Katherine Menendez, a Biden appointee, also blocked ICE agents from deploying non-lethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against protestors. Six individuals sued The DHS, DHS Chief Kristi Noem and other federal agencies to restrict ICE’s tactics. Approximately 3,000 federal agents have descended on Minnesota to arrest criminal illegal aliens. Judge Menendez also ruled that protestors may ‘safely’ follow ICE vehicles. The judge ruled: Covered Federal Agents are hereby enjoined from: a. Retaliating against persons who are engaging in...

Of course, it’s a Biden-appointed judge. For now, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will be hamstrung in how they respond to deranged leftist protesters who harass, assault, and, in the case of Renee Nicole Good, 37, accelerate their vehicles into federal agents. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters. — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) January 17, 2026 That January 7 shooting has led to mayhem in the city that’s run amok with violent protesters and a local political leadership that’s insane and inept. Local police are not assisting because...

House Republicans are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to explain reports about the Biden administration having purchased a device allegedly linked to "Havana Syndrome." House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino led six subcommittee chairmen in sending a letter on Wednesday to Noem and her agency in which they ask for a detailed explanation of how the device was acquired, its cost, the results of the year-long testing period of the device and what specific analytical or operational purpose the department had for obtaining the device. [snip] More recently, there has been at least one news report in which...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released video of a Secret Service agent assigned to JD Vance leaking sensitive information to an undercover reporter. The agent at the center of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Tomas Escotto, is a Biden holdover and has only been a US citizen since 2018. Escotto told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter details about how Vance is surrounded and revealed advanced security procedures. The Secret Service agent also revealed Vance’s future travel plans and sent images from Air Force Two while he was traveling with Vance. Tomas Escotto said he voted for Joe Biden and opposes...

As the details of Minnesota’s widescale social services fraud blew up on social media over the Christmas holidays, it was hard to miss the contrast between the reaction of Republicans and Democrats. While Republicans were outraged, Democrats minimized and denied the very existence of the problem. With each new revelation of systemic fraud against the American taxpayer, we’re seeing a common denominator. Fraud protections have been deliberately bypassed in the pursuit of progressive political goals. Whether by incompetence or design, Democratic policies have turned the federal treasury into a piggy bank for fraudsters. American taxpayers have always been a fat...

Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic has posted on his social media about former President Barack Obama’s deportations during his two terms in office. “I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. I asked Google AI: Did president Obama deport undocumented immigrants? Yes, President Barack Obama’s administration deported a significant number of undocumented immigrants, earning him the nickname “Deporter-in-Chief” from some immigrant rights advocates. His administration removed more people from the U.S. than any other president in history at the time. Key Details: Total Deportations: Between fiscal years 2009 and 2016, the Obama administration carried out approximately 2.7 million deportations (removals and...

Back in the last year of the first Trump Administration Democrats said the President wasn't doing enough to punish Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) complained that "he hasn't brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than it was when the President began his term." In 2019, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill) complained "the people of Venezuela deserve better than this. We can't allow this President's short attention span to stop us from delivering on our promise to help the Venezuelan people rebuild their country." In...

The article link-click goes to a post titled "Scots, Wha Hae wi' Wallace Bled (Custom Piano Recording) - Salute to The Donald" from about three hours after the state-sanctioned homicide of Ashli Babbitt. Lyrics are from a poem by Scottish national poet Robbie Burns, deliberately framing it as a speech by Robert the Bruce before the Battle of Bannockburn (1314) in which the Scots beat the pants off the English troops of King Edward II who at 15,000–20,000 heavily outnumbered the Scots at 5,000–7,000. (It goes to a centuries old Scottish tune, "Hey Tuttie Tattie", "Onomatopoeia" for the sound of...

Narrative consistency on economic coverage is definitely not one of CNN’s strongest suits, and its latest pile of garbage it spewed to harangue President Donald Trump’s economy is case-in-point. CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, who’s developed a reputation at MRC for being one of the most logically inconsistent economic writers at the decrepit network, launched another fallacy-rattled hit piece at the Trump economy. “It’s about to officially become Trump’s economy,” read Goldman’s headline for his January 2 op-ed posing as news, where he excoriated the president for accurately blaming his predecessor Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell...

Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says. Biden, 83, was in line to rake in the massive amount from two pension funds in his first year as former president, according to an analysis by National Taxpayer Union Foundation Vice President Demian Brady. “It’s pretty unusual, historically unusual, to have such a large pension amount,” Brady told The Post. “I would have to say that it’s the largest,” the taxpayer advocate said when asked...

A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more that more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration — including to 30,000 deceased tenants and thousands of foreigners who illegally entered the country. Former President Biden called these payments "a noble effort. In exchange for the money, every recipient allowed us to fill out and cast their 2024 election ballots. Sadly Trump still won the election and is now trying to disenfranchise these voters before we can cast their ballots in the 2026 Congressional elections."...

Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.

This didn’t age well.An old tweet from Joe Biden claiming Trump “admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro” surfaced on Saturday after President Trump captured the Venezuelan leader following precision military strikes on the South American country. During the 2020 election cycle, Joe Biden said if he were elected President, he would “stand with the Venezuelan people for democracy” as he criticized Trump for reportedly being open to meeting with Maduro.“Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro,” Joe Biden said in response to June 2020 report claiming Trump is “open to meeting with” Maduro.“As...

As accusations of day care fraud swirl around in Minnesota two strong voices came out swinging at the accusers. Gov. Tim Walz (D) said "what we're all seeing here is racism, pure and simple. Republicans are always harping about how immigrants need to be self-supporting so as not to be a burden on American taxpayers. Now they are complaining that formerly penniless refugees from Somalia have gone from rags to riches in the daycare industry. Why is it that when persons of color get ahead whites insinuate that it must be by illicit methods?" "I think we ought to celebrate...
