🚨🚨 BREAKING: A federal jury just convicted nine violent extremists for the July 4 attack on an ICE detention center in Texas. They ambushed law enforcement, shot an officer in the neck, and thought they’d get away with it. Today justice prevailed. Terrorists who target our agents will face the full force of federal law. We will continue dismantling violent extremist networks and the funding pipelines that support them. Thank you to our partners across law enforcement and to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice for ensuring these prosecutions moved forward.

We lost a few men. That IS combat. The Iranians have lost thousands and are STILL taunting us. We lose a very SMALL percentage and the communists want us to abandon the conflict. LOOK at the enemy within's tactics: Trying to discourage Americans from necessary conflicts in a needed war in which we must prevail. The leftists here who violently protest ICE lost two "foot soldiers" and more injured and I DO NOT HEAR THE MEDIA, DEMOCRATS OR ANY OF THAT SIDE SECOND-GUESSING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE KILLED OR SUGGESTING THEY SHOULD STOP!!! They are TOTALLY committed to what they...

A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and "across the United States" how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make "jury nullification"—the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law—a go-to legal weapon for the Left. Its sessions and training materials, reviewed by the Free Beacon, show how...

Every illegal vote cancels an American citizen’s vote. And the left loves it. t’s just crazy how difficult it has been to get Congress to care about secure, legitimate elections in the United States. For the record, elections in America are conducive to mass fraud. Although Democrats and Establishment Republicans say stupid and fundamentally dishonest things, such as “America’s elections have never been more secure,” American citizens know they are lying. Although voters in national elections must be U.S. citizens, there’s no requirement to provide documentary proof. Just this week, the FBI arrested an illegal alien from Mauritania living in...

A new NBC News poll finds that even after years of relentless political controversy and media hostility, President Donald Trump is viewed more favorably than several of the Democrats’ most prominent figures, and even the Democrat Party itself.AdvertisementThe numbers are likely to alarm Democrat strategists. According to the survey, Trump’s favorability rating now exceeds that of both former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Even the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), which has long been the target of progressive activism and calls to be abolished — is viewed more positively than the Democratic Party.This doesn’t mean...

Virginia's legislature has passed a bill prohibiting schools from teaching what it considers to be falsehoods about the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including portraying it "as peaceful protest." The General Assembly approved the measure Thursday, as a first-of-its-kind legislation to combat false statements by supporters of President Trump. The bill says that school instruction must "Not describe, portray, or present as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating or involved in the events of the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest." Schools may also not "state, suggest, or present as credible a statement or suggestion...

When I was a wee lad, conservatives used to argue that liberals were "soft on crime," and there was a lot of truth to the accusation. Liberals believed that criminals were victims of society and needed to be coddled to get them on the right track. If you lived through the 1970s, you were treated to movies that reflected society's increasing rejection of that line of thought, from the Dirty Harry series to the even darker Charles Bronson Death Wish.

DENVER — It’s been nearly two months since Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in her car in Minneapolis. Neither President Donald Trump nor any member of his administration has been in touch with Good’s family since, they told NBC News on Thursday. “There’s a reason that we hired our own investigators — to make sure that the truth is transparent and available, to make sure that this is really taken seriously and to make sure that we know what occurred,” Brent Ganger, Good’s brother, said.

Fox News is reporting that the coalition of anti-Trump nonprofits that have been leading the Anti-ICE protests notified its network to mobilize against Operation Epic Fury.They knew about the strikes even before they were announced, likely because they were notified by their Chinese Communist Party allies overseas.

When politics becomes scorched earth, it is the nation itself that burns. I was raised to believe that democracy came with duties as well as rights. You voted. You accepted the outcome. You argued your case, made your peace with defeat when it came, and waited for the next election. Politics was competitive, sometimes bruising, but it was not meant to be an existential threat. The opposition’s role was to hold the government to account, not to weaken the country for political gain. That older civic instinct now feels rather quaint. In theory, the idea of the “loyal opposition” remains...

Who are these people, heckling Trump, and refusing to stand for America's heroes? here is something terribly, horribly wrong with the current crop of Democrats. This was true before Trump’s glorious State of the Union speech Tuesday night, but their behavior during and outside of it further exposed the death of any loyalty they ever had to this nation. They behaved badly during last year’s SOTU, refusing to stand for the victims of illegal migrant murders or the little boy who was surviving brain cancer. They are a hardhearted bunch. They were no better during this speech. Again, they did...

In the warped universe of today’s Social Justice Warriors, Trump is Hitler. Racism is baked into our DNA and lurking around every corner, Nazis are hiding under every bed, white supremacists run the show in our major institutions, and any inconvenient facts that punch holes in this nonsense just prove how sneaky and deep-rooted the evil really is. The more they scream it from the rooftops, the more it solidifies as “truth” in their echo chambers. Their sealed-off media bubble keeps the illusion alive, sucking believers into an endless loop where everything gets twisted to fit the narrative, no matter...

We wrote recently about the ongoing effort by Marxists in the United States to raise money on behalf of the Communist government in Cuba. That effort continues. Meanwhile, the same folks, in league with a whole raft of other radical leftist groups, are also working on sending a “flotilla” to Havana’s aid. “A growing coalition of international organizations, including Progressive International, The People’s Forum, CODEPINK, and allied movements across the Americas and beyond is coming together to launch the Nuestra América Flotilla to Cuba in March, 2026, a humanitarian and solidarity mission to the island at a moment of deep...

Susan Rice has a message for corporate America, and it sounds a lot like a threat. Obama’s scandal-plagued former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations sat down with former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara on his podcast Stay Tuned and laid out what Democrats have in store for businesses, law firms, universities, and media companies that have sought to accommodate the Trump administration. It was a disturbing promise of government retribution. Rice wasted no time getting to the point. "It's not gonna end well for them,” she promised. “For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act...

The Minneapolis Police Department said it received a report of a suspicious fire at the memorial around 8:46 p.m. Investigators say someone set fire to a pile of wood, damaging some of the items at the site. The fire had been put out by the time officers arrived.

Peace officers, military personnel and prosecutors in recent years have faced a growing threat from the practice known as “doxxing” in which their personal, private information is obtained, sometimes through legal means and sometimes illegally, and spread online via a variety of social media. In most cases the information posted online has included home addresses, obviously putting law enforcement and military personnel, and their families, at great risk.Some states, particularly Alabama, have moved to protect America’s heroes with legislation outlawing the practice and imposing penalties on those who participate in the practice.There is also a federal statute to protect federal...

A federal judge has declared a mistrial in the high‑profile case accusing nine North Texans of attacking the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on the Fourth of July, after determining that a defense attorney’s shirt could improperly influence potential jurors. The mistrial was issued Tuesday during jury selection, after Judge Mark Pittman noticed that defendant Maricela Rueda's defense attorney, MarQuetta Clayton, was wearing a T‑shirt under her jacket with images tied to the civil rights era beneath her jacket. Clayton later exited the courthouse with the shirt turned inside out, which had depicted images of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Shirley...

The democrat party is old. It is a fact. Nancy Pelosi is 85 and although she is retired she still talks a lot and clearly wields some clout when not seeming drunk. Chuck Schumer is 75 years old and more and more frail in appearance. At 78 Jerry Nadler routinely falls asleep in hearings. Barack Obama says the democrat party is just too old. So, who comes next? Hakeem JeffriesHakeem Jeffries has a weird sounding voice. That might be why people have never really taken to him, and he cannot establish a gravitas about himself. I can't take him seriously....
