A 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela who posed as a teenager in Toledo, Ohio, now faces decades in prison after admitting to a scheme that lasted more than a year. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra pleaded guilty this past week to multiple charges after forging immigration documents and claiming to be a 16-year-old student at Perrysburg High School in January 2024, the New York Post reported. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, Sierra, who crossed the border in 2019 and was only permitted to stay until March 2020 by the Biden administration, also illegally purchased...

Some months back I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and niece Diane. Both were facing long odds to survive serious medical conditions. Last Sunday September 21, my dear wife Jane passed on to her heavenly reward. Jane was a faithful Catholic and a loving wife and mother. She was in the state of grace and I am comforted by that acknowledge. Jane had been in various hospitals and facilities for the last 18 weeks; and all of the medical problems that arose made fighting her stage 4 uterine cancer impossible.

AWisconsin RINO who appears to have a penchant for “sexually explicit” material — and a connection to a trans porn site — has dropped out of the Badger State governor’s race. Whitefish Bay businessman Bill Berrien, who also had a past dalliance with the disastrously kinky election method known as ranked-choice voting, quit Friday following reports linking the candidate to several “sexually explicit accounts” on social media. He apparently connected to said accounts through the platform Medium, where he followed Jiz Lee, a “trans” sex peddler, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported earlier this week.

Some enthusiasts for “gun control” on the left are trying to claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassination shows that Kirk’s support for the Second Amendment was wrong.The assassin appears to have used a hunting rifle. It is a variant of the extremely common Mauser 98, with a telescopic sight. It is one of the most common types of hunting rifles existing in the United States, probably in the world. This is the type of rifle that the vast majority of those pushing for more limitations on the ownership and use of firearms specifically remove from their restrictive lists. Even in Australia,...

A major shift in trucking safety rules is underway and it could change how California truck accident cases are fought and won. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) have announced an emergency CDL new law restricting who can hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) if they are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. These changes came after multiple deadly crashes and a federal audit that found California issued thousands of licenses in violation of safety standards. For anyone hurt in a truck crash, this isn’t just a policy update. It’s new legal...

Giuliani who was the person to recruit Comey as Assistant US Attorney in the Southern District of New York, calls him one of the people who have done the most damage to federal law enforcement ever out there. Gives accounts of the wars waged on him, including seizing his bank accounts etc by the Biden regime, Fani Willis essentially because he was Trump's lead lawyer.

Gerry Nolan: "Kiev’s Gleiwitz Gambit: Europe on the Edge of 1939 Redux History doesn’t just repeat — it mutates. In 1939, the world stumbled into catastrophe after Nazi operatives staged the infamous Gleiwitz incident: a radio station seized, a body left as “proof,” and a lie broadcast to justify war. Eighty-six years later, whispers from the battlefield suggest Kiev may be scripting its own Gleiwitz 2.0. Only this time, the stage is NATO’s eastern flank, the props are repurposed Geran drones, and the audience is a sleepwalking Europe. Hungarian journalists were the first to sound the alarm: several downed Russian...

The Obama library is a massive money laundering operation designed to funnel tax free funds to the worst terrorist elements here and abroad. Tides has also handled donations for Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which sued the group in California Superior Court last year. It alleged “egregious mismanagement” of more than $33 million in their funds, according to court documents. That lawsuit is ongoing. And what a money laundering operation it is. Obama’s ‘presidential’ library is almost a billion over budget and three years late. It has been in the works for eight years and only half done. Originally,...

Interestingly, it is Dept of Homeland Security Investigations, not the FBI, leading the case.Three suspects, likely Antifa affiliates, followed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer to his home in California, and then livestreamed the location calling on followers to join them in protest outside his home while shouting anti-ICE messaging.The Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) investigated and arrested the individuals and a federal grand jury has indicted the trio. One count of conspiracy and a second count of targeting a federal officer.DHSI took the cell phones of the suspects and has the phone contact information. Antifa affiliates are freaking out.Central...

From Kurt Schlichter: “Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners...

Former FBI chief James Comey was indicted on criminal charges of lying to Congress and obstructing justice. The indictment came just days before the expiring statute of limitations would have made the charges moot. Former US Attorney Erik Siebert had been delaying pursuing the case but was fired by President Trump and replaced by an attorney who pursued and obtained the indictment. Nearly five years ago, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex) questioned Comey under oath about testimony he had given during a 2017 hearing to Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). Comey confirmed that he had denied ever leaking information to the media...

No Republican is safe from CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s wrath, not even former President and quintessential moderate George H.W. Bush. According to Colbert and actor Jeremy Strong on Thursday, “we risk losing essentially everything” to climate change, and it is Bush’s fault. Colbert teed up Strong, “You have a documentary about our burning world.” An appreciative Strong took the opportunity to promote the project, “Yeah, I executive produced an incredible documentary called The White House Effect that is coming out on Netflix at the end of next month. It’s coming out on Netflix on October 31,...

Since Labour came to power, it has become clear that the battle against extremism has taken a back seat to political expediency. Labour has always had a counter-extremism problem, and after two decades of work I have done in this area which started post 7/7 under the Blair government, Labour continues to flounder in challenging Islamism in Britain. This Government, it seems, is being straight-jacketed by Islamist loudmouths who have hijacked the public discourse space on who represents Muslims in the UK. These political extremists who have hijacked Islam continue to smear and threaten those within Muslim communities who dare...

It was quite a week. The biggest story was the indictment of James Comey, about which I have reservations. But the indictment was a boon to memesters, who recalled Comey’s earlier art project featuring seashells. Much more happened, too. The Trump administration adopted recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health on the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which were immediately denounced by leftists, even though it turned out that the manufacturer of Tylenol said the same thing. Jimmy Kimmel returned to television and garnered massive ratings in his first show back, mainly due to people tuning in to...

Russian drones crossing into Poland and MiG-31s violating Estonian airspace revived the core question: how does a Russia vs. NATO war actually begin? Moscow will keep probing seams—airspace, air defenses, political will—aiming to force NATO into an Article 4/5 dilemma. Europe’s fragmented defense industry, ammunition shortages, and uneven appetite for risk create openings for a rapid, deniable “fait accompli” in the Baltics using EW, drones, and covert forces. That scenario wouldn’t resemble a set-piece tank battle; it would be a shock campaign designed to split allies before they can mobilize.

Chinese gangs are taking advantage of loose marijuana rules in Oklahoma to grow and transport marijuana to other states for sale on the black market, authorities say. Oklahoma narcotics officials told Congress $153 billion worth of marijuana is unaccounted for and likely leaving the state for the black market in other states. As many as 85 percent of licensed grow sites have connections with Chinese owners or operators, according to Mark Woodward, information officer with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. Since 2022, the state has shut down more than 6,000 illegal growing operations. Most U.S. states have made marijuana legally...
