A Latin street gang in Chicago is reportedly telling its members to shoot federal immigration officers on sight, escalating the already highly dangerous and volatile situation in Chicago. When you’re on the side of gang criminals, you’re probably in the wrong. Then again, leftists never met a murderous criminal whom they didn’t like. The Latin Kings gang is putting out hits on all Border Patrol agents participating in Operation Midway Blitz, which has rounded up hundreds of illegal alien criminals. That’s probably cutting into the gang’s membership — hence the new threat. And since Democrat politicians, mainstream media hacks, and...

How do I begin to cover today’s latest development: President Trump, having imposed steep tariffs on Chinese goods—tariffs that reached a staggering 145%—is now signaling a substantial reduction. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has acknowledged these tariffs are "unsustainable," hinting at a likely de-escalation in the trade war with China. Yet, in a twist of political theater, this retreat is being celebrated by supporters as a strategic masterstroke. The same voices that once championed the tariffs as a bold stand against China now laud their rollback as a savvy move, all without a hint of irony.​ I say this a lot,...

President Trump on Sunday said that he plans to give every American $2,000 tariff dividends in a post on Truth Social. The President previously said he wants to give Americans a “rebate” because of the trillions of dollars in revenue from tariffs.

Much like the entirety of this year, social media timelines were flooded with “horrifying” videos of Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal aliens, with liberal users often not providing the full facts of what was actually happening with the arrests. The first case that caused high levels of outrage was that of a Colombian illegal immigrant who was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2023. Videos started circulating of federal agents rushing into a daycare and arresting the woman, who was trying to resist apprehension. The liberal narrative was...

How easy should VOTER I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!) be to get from the Radical Left Democrats??? There should be nothing easier, right??? Well, out of 47 Dems, we don’t have even ONE VOTE from them.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Ordinarily Tim Adkinson, a trucker, sleeps in the back of his vehicle. But on a warm night at the end of March, he checked into a hotel in Austin, Texas. He had dressed up smartly: white linen shirt and chinos, hair brushed forward in an attempt to mask his receding hairline. On his wrist he wore a yellow paper wristband. This accessory was meant to signal to the people he’d meet that evening that he was single, open to dating and, most importantly, looking to procreate—a lot. “I’m 32 years old and I haven’t had any kids,” Adkinson told me....

VIDEOThe mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, pleaded with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for help in his fight against the cartel which was extorting and killing people in his area. She denied him such help and on the important Mexican holiday of El Dia De Los Muertos he was brutally assassinated by the cartel in front of his family and his fellow citizens. In response, President Sheinbaum has declared herself completely helpless to fight the cartels. Really? Perhaps she should have informed the people of Mexico about her self-declared incompetence last year BEFORE she became President.

A disturbing video from Antioch High School in Nashville shows 18-year-old student Kayla Smith pepper-spraying her teacher, Caleb Bates, after he took her phone during class. She was arrested right after the incident for assault. What makes it even worse is that this wasn’t the first time Bates had been attacked over a phone. Just two months earlier, another student punched him in the face after he caught them cheating. It’s part of a growing problem teachers are dealing with when they try to enforce basic classroom rules.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that the “crisis” among young men in the US “is an issue our party needs to address.”

In an effort to determine how many illegal immigrants are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins asked "every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren't getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two sued us for asking." California Attorney General Rob Bonta pointed out that "everyone knows that it is unlawful for states to give SNAP benefits to persons who entered the United States illegally. Given the tens of millions of persons who...

With the government shutdown rolling on without an end in sight and the Obamacare subsidies running out, President Donald Trump is sizing up a long-running battle against the failures of the Affordable Care Act. "OBAMACARE 'SUCKS," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday morning. "THE WORST HEALTHCARE FOR THE HIGHEST PRICE." On Saturday, Trump floated a compromise amid the impasse on the shutdown, urging Republicans to redirect federal money that goes to health insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act and send it directly to individuals. "PAY THE PEOPLE, NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES!" Trump wrote in a message that could...

The Supreme Court's decision to allow the administration to pay only partial SNAP benefits during the shutdown gives Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress a clear road to victory in the shutdown fight now entering its 39th day. SCOTUS recognized that this is not a separation of powers constitutional issue. It's a political issue, and the Supreme Court tends to avoid intervening in political disputes. The ball is now firmly in the hands of the Democrats, who have gotten themselves into a no-win situation. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tried a delay gambit, offering to reopen the government if...

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, walked off the Senate floor when being questioned about reopening the federal government during the longest shutdown in history. Schumer admitted to Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH, that he didn’t have a written proposal to fix the Affordable Care Act. “We can’t give you a counter in writing, but it’s very simple," Schumer said. "Because we have two sentences we would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA benefits for one year. Moreno exposed that the Affordable Care Act imposed no income caps, meaning people who make millions of dollars a year...

This isn’t simply a protest vote; it’s a seismic shift that positions figures like José Antonio Kast to capitalize on a fractured electorate and a growing conservative wave.

On Nov. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider taking up a landmark case that could redefine the meaning of parental rights in public education. The case, Littlejohn v. School Board of Leon County, has the potential to impact every classroom in the United States..

Officials warn that many of the drivers did not meet English proficiency requirements. An immigration enforcement operation in Oklahoma resulted in dozens of arrests, including 34 illegal alien truck drivers, according to ICE. The arrests announced earlier this week come amid concerns about road safety and national security related to an influx of foreign drivers entering the American trucking industry following the Biden administration's open-border policies. These concerns have intensified following several recent fatal crashes involving illegal alien truck drivers. Operation Guardian, a two-day sweep along the I-40 eastern corridor in late October, led to the arrests of 70 illegal...

TalkTV host Mark Dolan says the BBC is “dying a slow death” over the “colossal” amount of money spent on the funding model.

In early 2025, Hooters, arguably one of the most controversial restaurant chains in America, filed for bankruptcy. While the chain dates back to 1983, it began facing financial difficulties even before the COVID-19 pandemic. By the time it made the filing, the company had closed over 125 locations since 2019. A group called Original Hooters LLC, made up of some of the original owners and investors, has taken control of the restaurant again, buying it back during the bankruptcy process with plans to reinvigorate the franchise. The new-but-old owners want to take Hooters back to its roots, and for them,...
