State prosecutors have charged two more migrants as part of an investigation into the trafficking of narcotics and firearms into Chicago by suspected members of the Venezuela-based Tren de Aragua street gang. The men are the fourth and fifth individuals known to be charged in the case. Judge Luciano Panici Jr. ordered Yefferson Camacho Cedeno, 27, and Jose Vasquez Hernandez, 30, detained, calling them “member[s] of a transnational criminal organization.” Camacho Cedeno is a Venezuelan citizen who is “not a legal resident of the United States.” He is charged with two counts of gunrunning and six additional charges tied to...

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to gerrymander California’s congressional districts will eliminate at least four Republican-held districts, while securing Democratic control of four other contested seats. Currently, Republicans only hold nine of California’s 52 congressional seats (17%). Under the new map that the governor wants to present voters in a special election in November, Republicans will hold five seats (just under 10%). Nearly 40% of California voters chose Republican candidates in the last election in 2024, on a map created by an “independent” redistricting commission (which Democrats have gamed, regardless). Politico reported the leaked chart, which was shown to Democrats...

Does he really not know? Wake up, America. Wake up. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will have a president that will be running for a third term, mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat. Seriously, does Gavin know this is a troll? Is he actually convinced by the hat? Who sent the hat? Here's a hint: 🤣🤣🤣 It sure looks like Newsom is going to use this redistricting drama to push himself onto the national stage for 2028!

You knew it was bound to happen. The federal district of Washington filed a suit against Donald Trump on Friday because his administration federalized the police in the federal city. Here's CNBC: Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit Friday challenging President Donald Trump's unprecedented takeover of the U.S. capital city's police force ... 'The Administration's actions are brazenly unlawful,' Schwalb said in a statement after his suit was filed in U.S. District Court in D.C. Yes, unlawful, compared to the lawful crimes that were happening before? 👇 More from CNBC: Trump signed an executive order Monday commanding...

The new release by Gabbard is a vindication for Trump, who stood alone in 2018, and strengthens his position ahead of the upcoming summit. =============================================================== Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released two emails that are significant not only for their content but for their timing, coming just two days before the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. The emails reveal that in late 2016, then-DNI James Clapper pushed the fraudulent narrative that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC), overriding pointed objections from then-National Security Agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers. The timing matters because this very narrative — the...

Gateway Pundit journalist and LindellTV White House Correspondent Cara Castronuova questioned President Trump on two major issues the corporate media refuses to confront — the Democrats’ ongoing misinformation campaign to terrify America’s seniors about their Social Security, and alarming allegations that D.C. police are “cooking the books” to conceal the true extent of violent crime in the nation’s capital. Thursday’s Oval Office event marked the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act. President Trump used the occasion to highlight what he calls the largest tax cut for seniors in American history, pointing to his administration’s elimination of taxes on most...

On Tuesday, veteran political strategist and Trump adviser Roger Stone published an exclusive bombshell report scrutinizing Florida Congressman Carlos Giménez (FL-28) for turning a blind eye as Crowley Maritime Corporation—a Florida-based Department of Defense contractor—runs cargo and freight operations in Cuba’s Mariel Port under the direct supervision of the Cuban military. Crowley Maritime, a DoD contractor holding $2.3 billion in Defense Freight Transportation Services (DFTS) contracts and $343 million in Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) contracts, has operated in Cuba since 2001 under authorization from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Its operations in Cuba, where the Castro regime military...

Apparently, there's an exhibit at the Smithsonian – inside the National Museum of American History – that asks visitors to give their opinions on transgender athletes. Not only that, but the exhibit is sponsored, in part, by sports apparel giant Nike. Jillian Michaels, one of the original "fitness influencers" and a staunch defender of women's sports, brought it up during a segment on CNN, asking why the exhibit exists and why it is promoting a false claim. "[The exhibit]… talks about how it's complex to do gender testing in sports. It's not complex. It's basic science," Michaels said. "Is it...

Meanwhile, in Wayne County, Michigan… A 25-year-old hijab-clad Muslima was crowned Miss Wayne County this week – and now she wants to be Miss America. Because nothing says “All-American” more than a Sharia compliant hijab-clad woman. Ameera Hashwi became the first woman to win Miss Wayne County while wearing a Sharia compliant head cover. “Hello, my name is Ameera and my service initiative is to step up and serve and I am your new Miss Wayne County!” the newly crowned beauty pageant winner said to cheers. WATCH:

Now it's Christianity's turn to be mocked by the Palestinian Authority. While it's PA policy to insult, mock and misrepresent Jewish tradition and Jewish history in the land of Israel whenever possible, this week it was Christian traditions' turn to be insulted and denied by the PA. In the words of the official PA daily columnist, Christian traditions of the Holy Sepulcher and the Holy Grail are "nonsense," because Jesus doesn't belong to Christian tradition but belongs to the Palestinians.

Russia’s PAK DA sixth-generation strategic bomber is more of a “flying fantasy” than a credible future threat. Despite its legendary status and ambitious on-paper specifications, the program is crippled by Russia’s weak industrial base, which has consistently failed to deliver on far less complex projects like the Su-57 fighter.

Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer seems quite irked over Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser not publicly lambasting President Donald Trump after he ordered the federal takeover of the district's police department to combat the city's crime problem.Schaffer oddly suggests something is wrong with Bowser for not acting more confrontational. You can get a hint of that attitude from the title of his Wednesday article, "Donald Trump Took Over DC’s Police. Why Is the City’s Mayor So Zen?"Cooperation, in the mind of Schaffer, appears to be something that should be replaced by confrontation. Never mind that the goal should be to...

VIDEOYeah, when you try to prove that crime in Washington, D.C. is low by focusing solely on a gentrified neighborhood in Northwest D.C. as this snarky Lib did, it means she is such an expert on generating FAKE NEWS that she should get a job as a reporter at the NBC News4 station in Washington, D.C.. Watch what happened just days after NBC News4 reported the FAKE NEWS about supposedly plunging crime stats in DC. Karma is a bitch but it also can be HILARIOUS as when News4 reporter Ted Oberg got the smug smacked off his face by an...

A police video has emerged showing a South Carolina Democrat running for governor getting arrested in his underwear and going on an insane tirade that must be seen to be believed.

At the time of his arrest, He was wearing only underwear and shoes. The Charleston Police Department released video of the arrest on August 12 following a Freedom of Information request. The video, which is approximately one hour long, shows...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the upcoming summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.Bessent notes the backseat demands from EU leaders with their position on the Trump negotiation strategy has worn thin amid their hypocrisy. “It’s time to put up or shut up,” Bessent says, when talking about how the EU is still facilitating the economic purchases of Russian energy products, while simultaneously demanding Trump do this and that.
