When ICE conducted raids Friday morning at multiple locations in downtown Los Angeles, violent protesters impeded their work at both the staging location at a Home Depot in Paramount and outside the targeted business in downtown. Things might have stayed somewhat contained but for the involvement of two powerful and high-profile leftist community "leaders." One of those people, SEIU California President David Huerta, was arrested for interfering with federal officers after he got in the way of ICE officers. After his arrest, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Rep. Gil Cisneros, and other Democrat elected officials decried...

CNN is upset that President Trump accurately labeled the LA rioters “insurrectionists.” President Trump on Monday referred to the LA rioters as “insurrectionists” and “professional agitators.” The rioters launched explosives at a federal detention facility in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend. .... Snip.... CNN’s Dana Bash was peeved that President Trump called rioters who were launching commercial grade explosives at a federal building and assaulting federal agents “insurrectionists.” CNN panelist Stephen Collinson said Trump’s language is dangerous. According to CNN, Trump calling the rioters insurrectionists is much worse than the illegal aliens assaulting law enforcement and burning cars. WATCH:

Think about that! The left has never had such a battle. Because they've had pantywaists as opponents. No longer.

LOS ANGELES, CA — According to sources, President Trump responded to fiery but mostly peaceful protests in the City of Angels by activating the mostly peaceful National Guard. Governor Gavin Newsom has called the show of mostly peaceful force by the Trump administration "uncool." "What we have are mostly peaceful migrants making their voices mostly peacefully heard by throwing Molotov cocktails and looting businesses," Newsom said. "All of which is protected by the Bill of Rights. Read the Constitution." But the situation on the ground hadn't improved much as of Monday morning. Now, a battalion of 500 mostly peaceful Marines...

The last time the federal government demanded Democrats obey the law and relinquish their cheap and exploited labor, they launched the Civil War. This time, it looks like they intend to burn down their own cities. I’m fine with that. I don’t live there. Insurrectionist Democrats choosing to burn their own cities rather than obey federal law is not my problem, nor is it an American problem… It is solely a Democrat-run city problem. If you voted for Karen Bass and are watching in horror as your city burns … again … all I can say is that “Karma” is...

Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt) made the strongest argument yet for why we need to increase immigration, saying "if we don't have avenues for people to come here legally we're not going to have anybody around to do the jobs Americans are not willing to do. One of the more distasteful things each of us has to do is wipe our asses. The same hand we eat with comes within a thin piece of toilet paper of contacting our own excrement. We are a rich enough country to not have to do this ourselves. In past times many of the elite...

I started this website in 2015 with one simple goal, which remains our Mission to this day: To print the Truth the MSM won’t tell you! That Mission remains even more relevant today than when we started, and I’ll prove it to you. This coming Saturday is going to be absolutely massive. It’s June 14th, 2025. What’s so special about June 14th? One, it’s President Trump’s birthday. Two, it’s Flag Day. (Did you know that? How perfectly poetic!) Three, the MSM is not giving this much attention at all yet, but President Trump is hosting a MASSIVE grand military parade...

President Trump returns to the White House from a brief and undocumented trip to Camp David. After pausing to talk to the construction teams assembling the massive new flagpole on the White House grounds, President Trump briefly spoke to reporters who asked questions about the Los Angeles riots.During the Chopper Presser, President Trump noted the people behind the violence and mayhem in LA are “paid agitators, insurrectionists and bad people.” WATCH:.

I know no one likes to watch the Republican warmongers advocate for expanded intervention, conflict and escalated global violence as a means for them to retain power. However, this is one of those sickening points of advocacy that need to be watched and listened to very carefully.Mike McCaul is Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and he has never experienced a war he didn’t enjoy. McCaul notes he is happy for the House to receive a sanction package against Russia from Lindsey Graham that will likely be voted on in the Senate tomorrow. Last week the Senate met with...

A new nationwide survey commissioned by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) and conducted by McLaughlin & Associates has revealed a significant disconnect between public perception and actual crime data involving illegal immigrants. Despite years of border chaos and rising crime rates, a majority of voters still believe illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. In the April 29, 2025 survey of 1,000 likely voters, only 33.3% said illegal immigrants commit crime at a higher rate than American citizens. By contrast, 41.6% said they do not, and 25.1% said they weren’t sure.Survey: Do Illegal Aliens Commit...

We might need to bring in Bill Murray—the man whose 1979 SNL skit made "Quien Es Mas Macho?" famous—to judge this one. Today's Morning Joe played clips of NBC/MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff speaking with Trump border czar Tom Homan and California Gov. Gavin Newsom regarding the Trump administration's response to the rioting in Los Angeles over ICE's efforts to arrest illegal aliens. Soboroff mentioned to Homan threats that have been made to arrest anyone who stands in the way of enforcement operations, and asked if that applies to LA Mayor Bass and Newsom. Homan's succinct response: "I'll say it about...

I checked my illegal alien sympathy meter this morning. This is what it indicated Like probably most Americans, I have had enough. I want them all out now. The anti-ICE protests in California have exposed them for what they are. Illegal aliens are poison. This is what they are and what they want. This is what they are.

I left California in 2018 after having lived there since 1968. Many were doing the same then. I have written about this move many times in books, articles, blogs and on this Substack. The subject has started to bore me. I didn’t want to hear about California. I barely commented about the fires that were so mishandled by the state and city’s incompetent leadership. But with the demonstrations of the last few days, the protestors blocking the 101 as I type, burning cars and pelting police, I cannot hold back. President Trump has done the right thing calling in the...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson ABC News says the riots in LA are just people burning cars for fun: “Could turn volatile if you move law enforcement in the wrong way and turn what is people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation.” From Steve Guest 7:43 AM · Jun 9, 2025

For years, the popular “LA Scanner” account on X presented itself as a simple, neutral feed with just scanner updates, crime alerts, and public safety notices. But now, the left-wing mask has finally slipped. And what do we see underneath? A raging left-wing activist with Stage 5 TDS, an open hatred for law enforcement, and a not-so-subtle agenda to turn his 40K followers into digital foot soldiers for sabotage against ICE. In a now-viral post, the account openly encouraged people to commit a federal crime – calling in fake reports to ICE in order to tie up their resources and...

Videographer Cam Higby captured of the Los Angeles rioters attacking police horses during Sunday’s riots. The rioters fired off projectiles and fireworks at the animals on Sunday as they continued to rip apart the city over the Trump administration’s arrest of criminal illegal aliens. You can see the panicked horses jump back as the projectiles exploded at their feet. This is all thanks to Democrat leadership. They could have stopped this. They didn’t. Video via Cam HIgby.

VIDEO"Illegal Alien" is a correct legal term which is used in official federal government documents. "Undocumented Immigrants" or "Undocumented Migrant" or "Undocumented Worker" are INCORRECT nonsense terms used by leftists to make it seem that Illegal Aliens are somehow neither illegal nor alien. It is like legitimizing Drug Dealers by calling them "Unlicensed Pharmacists." Anybody in the media using the "Undocumented" terminology as Margaret Brennan did on "Face The Nation" on Sunday while interviewing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is publicly subscribing to the extreme leftist ideology. Noem did not correct Brennan on her incorrect leftist terminology but a Master...

( Video clips at link) Nothing they have done to disrupt President Trump and his MAGA agenda has worked. Even the hundred-plus judges rulings are starting to fall by the wayside. The autopen story has crept back into the news A pro-energy group is renewing its call for an investigation into over half a dozen Biden administration executive actions related to climate that it believes should be deemed null and void due to them being signed by an autopen without any public comment from former President Joe Biden confirming his knowledge of them. Power the Future, a nonprofit organization that...

Leaked reports have surfaced, revealing that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ordered the LAPD to stand down during riots, overriding emergency protocols and blocking police from assisting federal officers. The allegations suggest that Bass ignored calls for reinforcements, preventing the LAPD’s Incident Commander from deploying aid to overwhelmed federal agents. The reports detail a direct intervention by Bass, bypassing established emergency response procedures. Instead of allowing law enforcement to act, she allegedly called the Incident Commander for a briefing, then instructed the Chief of Police on how to proceed, effectively taking control of operations. This move violated the City’s Emergency...

Let’s dispense with the fantasy right off the bat: Russia isn’t trembling at the prospect of new sanctions. Not now. Not after more than three years of war, hundreds of billions in Western aid to Ukraine, multiple tranches of punitive economic measures, and an endless cycle of condemnations and diplomatic theater. If Congress moves forward with another sanctions package this summer – as seems increasingly likely – Moscow won’t respond with panic. It will respond with calculation. Cold, strategic, and utterly unimpressed.
