Following President Trump's announced intention to surge federal forces into Portland, Oregon, where riots are held daily outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, the useful idiots of Anti Profa are planning a "direct action" for Sunday, September 28th.

One of President Trump's most valuable cabinet members, Marco Rubio, who wears both the Secretary of State cap, and the National Security Advisor cap, gets called on to perform a lot of duties. One of them is the equivalent of barroom bouncer. At the United Nations, he threw out the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro from the U.S. premises. That was after a string of leftwing buffooneries and outrages. Two days ago, it was buffooneries: It should be noted that this was the assessment of Colombians who also believed he had not just been drinking but snorting cocaine. It ought...

After several school districts and universities across the nation fired or suspended faculty for their controversial social media posts about the murder of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, some of these educators are now taking legal action, claiming their free speech rights were violated. On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered the University of South Dakota to temporarily reinstate professor Michael Hook, after the board of regents recommended his termination over his social media post responding to Kirk’s killing. Hook, a tenured fine arts professor, wrote on his personal Facebook account that he didn’t give a "flying f---" about Kirk,...

A controversial bill awaiting California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature would slap steep new penalties on social media platforms that fail to censor content deemed in violation of the state’s civil rights laws. SB 771, which passed both chambers of the state legislature and was sent to Newsom’s desk on Monday, imposes fines of up to $1,000,000 on social media platforms that fail to remove content that violates the state’s civil rights laws. Critics warn the measure will lead to sweeping censorship of lawful speech. Lawmakers defended SB 771 by citing “rising incidents of hate-motivated harm,” including “hate crimes involving...

The FBI has acknowledged it had 275 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned. A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events. But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters. The news comes in the wake of claims by...

BREAKING ---- Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors -- one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice, sources tell me.

… Multiple War Department officials confirmed to Fox News that top military commanders had been asked to fly to Virginia for a meeting next week, though the topic of the discussion is unclear. The lack of details surrounding the gathering has some fearing a looming purge. War Secretary Pete Hegseth has previously said he wants to cut 20% of senior generals and admirals. The order, first reported by the Washington Post, applies to senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above or their Navy equivalent and their top enlisted advisers. It comes as administration officials have been preparing...

Seen from the sky, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert resembles a futuristic dream. Viewed from the bottom line, however, Ivanpah is anything but. The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build. Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Now, it’s set to close in 2026 after failing to efficiently generate solar energy. In 2011, the US Department of Energy under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in three federal loan guarantees for the project and the Secretary of...

Donald Trump humiliated Keir Starmer today with brutal swipes at Labour's Net Zero drive. The US President used a rambling speech at the UN to brand climate change 'the greatest con job ever'. The UK was singled out for particular criticism, despite Mr Trump being honoured with his second state visit to Britain just last week. Mr Trump also laid into Labour's London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan with an extraordinary allegation that he wanted to introduce Sharia law to the capital. The US President told the UN General Assembly in New York: 'I want to stop seeing them ruining that...

Monday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle According to Homan, “close to 1.6 million illegal aliens” have self-deported. “Tom, when you think about it, I guess you guys have deported over 200,000 people now — I’m not sure the exact number, a couple weeks ago, it was 200,000,” host Laura Ingraham said. “We have 30 million or so illegals in the United States. Question for a lot of MAGA folks out there is — how do you possibly speed up this deportation? I know you’re trying to hire a lot more people, but given the protests, given all the lawsuits, 200,000...

Jury found him guilty of all charges. FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The jury weighing the fate of the man accused of attempting to gun down Donald Trump on a Florida golf course last year has reached a verdict. Jury deliberations got underway Tuesday after Ryan Wesley Routh capped his two-week trial, during which he served as his own attorney, by delivering a brief and disjointed closing argument during which he tried to argue that there was no crime because he never fired a shot at Trump. But just 12 minutes in his monologue, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon interrupted Routh...

The Secret Service has uncovered a vast network of over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in the New York area, believed to be used by foreign “nation-state threat actors” and criminals for swatting calls targeting prominent conservatives including Marjorie Taylor Greene. The amount of hardware seized in the bust could be used to hamper cell service in New York City.
