The consequences of America's failure to act on its victory in the Cold War, so carelessly thrown away by the Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations, are now playing out, first in the judiciary and now in the streets. What started as legal challenges in federal courts across the land has turned into open rebellion, to which has now been added foreign interference in America's internal affairs. It's a powderkeg, but this time the Left will either step down or be put down. While the media continues its impersonation of Baghdad Bob, and largely refuses to call the violence currently...

Just before 5 p.m. PDT Monday in downtown Los Angeles, a black pickup truck pulled up to a crowd of pro-illegal immigration protesters loaded with supplies for the evening’s riot. Video by Fox Live Now showed the open bed of the pickup was packed with boxes, chief among them UVEX Bionic Face Shields that were distributed to the protesters. The shields retail for around $60 each. Fox 11 LA reporter Elex Michaelson posted about what he witnessed, “#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems...

What needs to happen is simple, but, at least for now, looks pretty suspect if you ask me. Russia would need to get so exhausted from the war that its lines collapse. After losing 1 million casualties, thousands of tanks and artillery pieces, and billions of dollars in bombers and drones, Moscow would one day see its war effort collapse in a mix of exhaustion, anger about the overall direction of the conflict, and a society that had had enough. This would allow Ukraine to reclaim the initiative and retake large swaths of territory. But from here, things get even...

Adams, Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) promised that if he is elected mayor of New York City he will "spend eight years in Washington leading the fight against Trump." While acknowledging that this campaign promise "might seem to be outside the normal scope of a mayor's job, vowing to fight Trump has been a key factor in the elections of other Democrats in New York. Democrats hate Trump more than anything. Two-thirds of the City's voters are registered Democrats. It's a winning platform." Cuomo also dismissed the chances of his rivals, saying "the typical budgets and boroughs issues that Republicans...

Lots of footage from scene. Transcript linked below video.

In 1895, a significant chapter in the Czech brewing industry began. This distinctly Czech company was established in response to the Czech-German rivalry in Budějovice and the dominance of the German Měšt'anský Pivovar. Czech national brewers, led by August Zátka, established a brewery that continued the long-standing tradition of Budějovice beer production. On October 7, 1895, the first brewmaster of the Czech Joint Stock Brewery brewed the first batch of beer. This moment marked the beginning of the history of the famous Budějovice brewery. In 1930, the Budvar trademark was registered, becoming synonymous with quality and a leading brand of...

The literature on Chinese warfare is replete with descriptions of how the country will annex Taiwan. The date usually bandied about by China watchers is 2027 for a successful amphibious attack on the island. This would be preceded by a shock and awe bombardment campaign aimed at bringing the city of Taipei to its knees. But another Chinese gambit would provide less violence but still do significant damage to the Taiwanese government and its residents. I am referring to a blockade or quarantine by the Chinese navy and a no-fly zone executed by its air force.

Rep. Kaohly Vang Her’s remarks on the Minnesota House floor have sparked intense debate. During a legislative session on MinnesotaCare eligibility for undocumented immigrants, she revealed that her family entered the United States illegally. Her stated that her father altered immigration paperwork to secure their entry, a revelation that immediately drew scrutiny. Her’s statement, “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” was intended to evoke empathy from lawmakers considering restrictions on state-funded healthcare for undocumented adults. She argued that her family’s ability to navigate the system was a matter of privilege rather than...

Democrats should check out what CNN's Harry Enten had to say on Monday. He had some polling numbers that show how much support there is for President Donald Trump's deportation policies. Enten explained how Trump's net approval on immigration since eight years ago has "gone up like a rocket." Why Trump's eager for an immigration fight: His net approval is positive (+1 pt) & up like a rocket vs. term 1.Specific Approval:-54% for Trump's deportation program for those here illegally-51% of ICE searchesVoters also say Dems have no clue on immigration (GOP +10). pic.twitter.com/IdHaPx8Ud4— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) June 9, 2025He's...

One is an event, two is a coincidence—but three is a pattern. On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that a third Chinese national has been nabbed for allegedly trying to smuggle biological materials into the United States. Making things more disturbing is a fact that a Hollywood screenwriter couldn’t have come up with: the smuggler was studying in, where else, Wuhan, China. You’ve heard of Wuhan, haven’t you? The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan released a statement alleging that Chengxuan Han, “a citizen of the PRC” (People's Republic of China), sent packages containing biological material...

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...
