In a shocking display of leftist hypocrisy, a group of activists stopped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting a known illegal alien child predator in the Denver, Colorado, area, with ICE later confirming on social media that the alien was convicted of and wanted in Italy. For context, in a post on social media on June 21, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) explained that a group of their agents had been prevented from arresting a dangerous illegal immigrant criminal from El Salvador named Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, when a group of anti-ICE activists arrived on the scene...

Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy. Frum attempted to make it seem like Iran had President Trump’s number in a June 21 screed, “The mullahs of Iran join the bet that Trump always chickens out.” Frum was responding to Trump’s retrospectively deceptive tactic to make it appear he was waiting two weeks before making a decision on whether the U.S. would conduct targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “A...

Tonight this creep is attacking Trump for attacking Iran; earlier this month he was taunting Trump for negotiating with Iran. There is no brain left; there is just a partisan reflex. What Trump does is wrong; no other thoughts exist or are even necessary. *********************************************************** Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer · Jun 2 If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it. No side deals. 0:36 VIDEO AT LINK.................

[exceprt]To determine the regulatory burden that each state (and Washington, D.C.) places on private schools, we used The School Starter Checklist as a reference document and then classified regulations across eight areas. They were:Regulation, Accreditation, Approval, and LicensureNonprofit RequirementsSchool Day and YearCurriculumRecord KeepingTestingTeacher CertificationHealth and Safety Our classification system follows a stoplight pattern. “Green” regulations are reasonable and appropriate. “Yellow” regulations could be appropriate or problematic, depending on how the state enforces them. We do not and cannot have granular knowledge about how each state interprets every one of its regulations, but we also want to compare states to each...

Well, here’s a shocker, indeed: A thought bubble can get thought-bubbly. Could you have pictured this? I couldn’t, especially after the very-successful, not-at-all-astroturfed hubbub around X alternative Bluesky after Elon Musk bought Twitter and made it free-speech friendly. We were all told that Bluesky — a decentralized microblogging platform that launched in 2023 — was going to overtake X because of Elon’s toxicity, since all of the legacy media was headed there. The American left, in particular, wanted to get off of the legacy platform and build something of their own. Well, why not? After all, as they told conservatives...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched a blistering assault on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez, castigating her as a “pathetic little hypocrite” for supporting U.S. military involvement in Ukraine under President Biden, only to suddenly posture as anti‑war today. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez (D‑NY) condemned President Trump’s decisive strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities as “clearly grounds for impeachment,” accusing him of a “grave violation” of constitutional war powers. AOC immediately took to the public stage, calling Trump’s actions “disastrous” and “impulsive,” warning they risked “ensnaring us for generations in a war.” She and other Democrats have begun floating articles of impeachment, claiming the president...

A radicalized operative—Alexander R. Wick, 38, of Portland, nonbinary activist, ANTIFA recruiter, and CEO of a far-left climate tech front company, Cascadia Carbon Inc.—was arrested for attempting to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) on Interstate 5, one of the nation’s most critical highways. This wasn’t a spontaneous act. This was an orchestrated act of domestic sabotage tied directly to the radical Left’s foot soldiers—trained, funded, and protected by the same global elite who are panicking under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, now restored as Commander-in-Chief after defeating Biden in the rigged 2024 election. Let’s break it...

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) went off on President Trump during a 22-minute rant on TikTok on Sunday evening. Crockett called President Trump “the Mofo [motherf***er] that resides in the White House” after he announced the United States dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites. .... Snip.... Crockett fumed because Trump didn’t consult her before he bombed Iranian nuclear sites. WATCH:

AGAIN - IRAN JUST FIRED ON AMERICAN TARGETS IN QATAR AND IRAQ’! Stupid is as stupid does - Forrest Gump

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a nationwide terrorism alert for America, specifically citing low-level cyber attacks as a potential response. “The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States,” the press release reads. “Low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks. Iran also has a long-standing commitment to target US Government officials it views as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020. The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing...

VIDEOIsrael seems to have achieved a double header in Tehran in the wake of the big bombs dropped by the USA on the Iranian Nuke facilities. The headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards has been bombed AND the entrance to the Evin political prison has been destroyed as well. Will there be a massive prison escape as a result? This would be a very good time for the guards at that prison to call in sick.Have you noticed that "EVIN" is just one letter away from from being "EVIL?"

American Democrats and leftists in general were already divided and uncertain over who to support in the various Middle East conflicts. But when he ordered the bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran, President Trump kicked a proverbial hornets’ nest of progressive outrage – and confusion. Reactions from the left range from wholehearted support to calls for impeachment and accusations of war crimes – and not everyone seems to hold the same position they did just days ago. Israel vs Iran – Democrats ‘All Over the Map’ Well before the fighting broke out between Israel and Iran, everyone seemed to have...

Following the US bombing of its nuclear sites, Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint. Rather than direct retaliation on the Iranian mainland, the US should counter this threat by seizing Kharg Island, the terminal through which 90% of Iran’s oil is exported. Additionally, the US should issue an ultimatum to Iran’s two navies—the IRGC’s coastal patrol and the regular blue-water navy to either dock and surrender or be sunk, thus ensuring freedom of navigation without a broader, destructive war on Iranian soil.

The State of Massachusetts' "emergency shelter" program spends around $180,000 per family per year on shelter, food, education, legal aid, and case management. The median household income per family per year in the state is around $100,000. Asked why the cost of sustaining families on welfare is so much higher than what working families have to live on Gov. Maura Healey (D) explained "working families have to make their own decisions on where to live and what to eat. They don't need government workers to make these decisions for them. So they don't have case managers. The majority of the...

Following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Russian official Dmitry Medvedev hinted that countries like Russia or North Korea might supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly. This threat should be met with a firm US response based on strategic brinksmanship. If Russia or its allies provide nuclear weapons to Iran, a state that has serially violated the Non-Proliferation Treaty, President Trump should make it clear that the United States will, in turn, provide nuclear weapons or station intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Russia’s own neighboring countries, such as Ukraine, Poland, or Kazakhstan, to re-establish deterrence.

Vice President JD Vance on the remarkable tactical precision of the Iranian strike: VIDEO AT LINK............. "These guys flew from Missouri. They didn't land a single time. They dropped 30,000 pound bombs on a target the size of a of a washing machine, and then got back home safely without ever landing in the Middle East... Whatever our politics, we should be proud of what these guys accomplished."

That didn’t take long. As The New York Times reported, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to release pro-Hamas student activist Mahmoud Khalil on bail. At this time, he is the only ‘major’ anti-Israel agitator demonstrator in America remaining in confinement. ..... Snip..... Mahmoud wants you to know that he is the real victim here. This toxic man is back out in the streets calling for a global intifada. This is pure insanity.
