There's a newish meme being used to justify the anti-ICE riots and illegal immigration--the illegal immigrants have a right to be in the United States because the Southwest was stolen and really belongs to Mexico. The problem isn't illegal immigrants; it's American citizens who wrongly believe they have the right to live here without being invaded.So I guess it’s an invasion then and these are enemy aliens.

And, if you are watching what is unfolding in America's cities, that war has already begun. So implies the...

U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran, multiple sources told CBS News. The U.S. anticipates Iran could retaliate on certain American sites in neighboring Iraq. This is part of the reason the U.S. advised some Americans to leave the region earlier Wednesday, with the State Department ordering non-emergency government officials to exit Iraq due to "heightened regional tensions."

Iran’s defence minister has said his country would target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out with the United States, as President Donald Trump said he was losing confidence that a nuclear deal would be agreed.

He has threatened to attack Iran if no deal can be agreed. Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said on Wednesday that Iran would target US military bases in the region if the US attacked it first. “Some officials...

The legal filing, part of an ongoing lawsuit against Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Defense,...
