    Websites tied to Portland's Rose City Antifa and the militant abortion-rights group Jane's Revenge began going dark in the days after the State Department designated their Italy-based technology provider a global terrorist entity. Fox News Digital first reported this week that the State Department had designated Autistici/Inventati, known as the A/I Collective, as a specially designated global terrorist over its alleged support for violent far-left networks. "Today's news demonstrates the extent to which the A/I Collective was the digital infrastructure of the global Antifa terror network," a State Department official told Fox News Digital. "Just one day after the extremist...

    A charity worker who allegedly took massive bribes in exchange for pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of a corrupt homeless service bigwig was busted by the feds in a sweeping operation that targeted infamous homeless services fraud in that’s crippling Los Angeles. FBI agents in a dramatic raid swarmed the South Los Angeles home of Lakiya Malone just before dawn, taking to bullhorns and yelling for her to “come out!” As the SSG worker emerged, she was placed in handcuffs by men in Kevlar vests, while others trained rifles on her house. FBI agents collared Malone, 48,...

    Five individuals working for the intelligence services of the Russian Federation have been charged with a terrorism conspiracy and planning murders “around the world,” including in the United States. The individuals, who are currently at large, “paid and attempted to pay individuals within the United States and elsewhere to conduct pre-operational surveillance and carry out targeted killings, and commissioned associates to commit and attempted to commit acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure in European countries that are aligned, or perceived to be aligned, with Ukraine,” according to the Department of Justice. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said in a...

    Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced eight articles of impeachment Tuesday against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, accusing him of exceeding constitutional and congressional limits on U.S. military action in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela. Massie introduced the resolution on the House floor, where he spent more than an hour outlining allegations ranging from violations of the War Powers Resolution to unlawful military strikes and retaliation against a U.S. senator. The first three articles focus on the administration’s war with Iran. Massie argues the conflict began without a congressional declaration of war or other statutory authorization and alleges Hegseth continued military operations...

  • The Democrat Party and Its Supporters Are a Hive, Part One

    Coordination emerges not primarily from explicit instruction but from shared ideological programming, financial incentives, and institutional culture. Joe Sobran (1946–2010), a longtime National Review columnist, essayist, and conservative thinker, portrayed the Left, as manifested by the Democrat Party, from the 1980s onward as a “Hive.” He believed that this metaphor was nearly perfect in characterizing a decentralized but instinctively coordinated politically driven collective that swarms in the same direction, enforces conformity, and advances the Left’s collectivist goals without needing a formal conspiracy or central command. Sobran’s hive analogy (echoed by many others) is apt precisely because it captures something that...

    The coalition of second-tier and second-rate countries calling themselves the BRICS (an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) has just wound up its annual “summit,” this year held in New Delhi, India. In the twenty years since the BRICS coalition’s founding, its membership has expanded beyond just the countries forming the acronym, with additional attendees at this year’s event including the likes of Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Of those new members, only Indonesia really has a claim for even second-rate status. Saudi Arabia and UAE are wealthy, but owe the wealth almost...

    Sometimes I feel like a frog that’s getting boiled. The temperature keeps going up slowly, so I’m not really provoked to jump out of the pot. Just now, in the California gulag, a law was enacted to forbid the watering of “decorative” grasses, regardless of drought conditions. But it’s okay. We’ve become sort of used to it. My sense of self-worth, however, resents being told what to do with my water. Sometimes I think of sustaining other non-essential plants...and even taking a shower or washing dishes. But the self-anointed geniuses have already enacted a statute that limits household daily water...

    This is very troubling… Why is it that only Republicans believe when you strangle to death your three little innocent children, including a baby, that you committed murder and should be punished? What did these babies ever do to deserve such a cruel death at the hands of their mother? Michael Marcel at Fugitive TV on TouTube interviewed the lone juror who stood up to the leftist mob who were ready to let Lindsey Clancy walk. Michael Marcel: He was very kind, Catholic, and you want to hear something very funny? We started talking. He thinks he knows why he...

    What good are all our 9/11 memorial services if we allow sharia law to take over our country? Many ardently claim that we shall never forget the heinous murders of 9-11. But in fact, we need to constantly remember the goal of jihadists and actively repel their evil. The mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed designed the September 11 attacks. He told Dr. James Mitchell they did not need another massive Islamic attack to conquer us. They would use our civil liberties, our openness, and our hunger to honor other cultures — he called them gifts from Allah. The practical...

    From the gun cabinet of his shooting range, Volodymyr Sukhomlyn pulls out a semiautomatic shotgun. **SNIP** Not an easy target “But more recently it’s been bus drivers and cabbies buying them, too — anyone who is out on the streets a lot.” One FPV attack this month injured several people at a supermarket, leaving the floor stained with blood. Another ploughed into the upper floors of a government building downtown. “I heard it coming and we had to hide in a shop when it exploded,” said Julia Sologub, 31. “It used to be just a problem for soldiers — now...

    A longtime reporter and a veteran pilot have been identified as victims on board an NBC helicopter when it crashed between two buildings near the scene of a deadly bus collision in Los Angeles.

    While the trade war between Trump and Canada continues, China has been selling cheap aluminum and steel to Canada to get around tariffs and undercut American workers. “The United States is fed up. They're fed up with countries that said for 30 years they were going to protect themselves and help NATO, and the most egregious offender in the last 15 years has been Canada.” Watch the full episode with Victor Davis Hanson here: https://youtu.be/-265LpIW5uI?si=H40pljVH0mICeB3f

    The BMA’s [British Medical Association’s] new VSED (Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking) guidance is not a British story. Canada ran this experiment years ago, and we already know how it ends. Every time one of these documents lands, the same thing happens. A medical body publishes something careful and administrative, the language is so smooth you could skate on it, and the people who object are told they’ve misread it. Nobody is being killed. Nobody is being pushed. This is only guidance, only clarification, only doctors being given the information they need to care for their patients well. I have...

    A convicted pedophile who began identifying as “transgender” after his incarceration is currently housed in a women’s prison in Minnesota, where he has been exposing himself to women and writing poetry about rape. Daniel Patrick Benz, who legally changed his name to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of 2023, has been accused by multiple female inmates at Shakopee women’s prison of exposing his penis to them and asking them to read aloud poetry he wrote containing descriptions of rape. Female inmates have told Reduxx that the fear of retaliation from prison officials has kept many women from filing official complaints....

    Kepler Computing, a stealth startup led by CEO Debo Olaosebikan and CTO Sasi Manipatruni, says it developed a ferroelectric composite material that boosts memory density while cutting power needs, and it's already working with GlobalFoundries to manufacture it.
