Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign spent thousands of dollars after the election on childcare expenses for the California Democrat, raising potential ethics concerns for a lawmaker who has been accused in the past of using his campaign war chest as a "personal piggybank." According to campaign finance records, the Swalwell campaign spent at least $20,000 on "childcare" from Nov. 8, three days after the election, to March 31. The payments went to two of the Swalwell family’s longtime babysitters as well as a Washington, D.C.-area Spanish language immersion preschool where tuition is around $3,000 per month. The payments raise potential ethics...

Join our emergency sign waving action to stand up for justice and the rule of law and demand that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be brought home. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a loving father, husband, son, brother, union construction worker, and a legal resident of the United States. He has been wrongfully disappeared and sent to an El Salvador torture prison, and torn from his family, all due to a shocking administrative error by the U.S. government. President Donald J. Trump is claiming the power to ignore the guarantees protecting “every person” in the United States under our U.S. Constitution - the...

"It's a tragedy, but it was so utterly preventable." Out on bond & awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to a prior murder, Austin Collette fatally shot & killed his 21-year-old girlfriend. Judge Hilary Unger authorized Austin Collette's release on bond. Despicable.

A first-pass run at the life and times of the left's latest version of George Floyd, repatriated illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, flown to his native El Salvador and imprisoned as an MS-13 gang member, leaves one marveling at how the radical left sure knows how to pick 'em. After all, the guy is a composite of every detested stereotypes about migrants -- illegal border crosser, ignored his final deportation order, identified in police reports as an MS-13 gang member accepted by two judges, crazy high-speed driver endangering others, suspected human trafficker, (with a mysterious dropping of those charges by...

It wasn’t his first rodeo. An illegal migrant with a lengthy rap sheet was deported from the US for the 40th time during a recent Trump administration immigration raid in Texas. Mexican national Julian Estrada-Garcia, 36, got booted from the country by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers along with another 173 illegal migrants in a two-week operation last month in Houston. The frequent border-crosser was once again kicked back to Mexico from the Lone Star State. While in the US, Estrada-Garcia committed several crimes, including driving while intoxicated, possession of illicit drugs and fraud, according to ICE. He was also...

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — The Canadian Parliament’s security force locked down Parliament on Saturday after a man barricaded himself in the East Block section, Ottawa police said. The Parliamentary Protective Service issued a warning Saturday afternoon for anyone in East Block, which houses parliamentary offices, to seek shelter in the nearest room, close and lock all doors, and hide. Anyone who was not in the immediate area was warned to stay away until further notice. A social media post from Ottawa Police said a “barricaded man is in the area of East Block” and urged people to avoid the area,...

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has warned of "a brutal escalation of Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip" in light of the IDF's expansion of its ground operations in southern Gaza. In a statement published Thursday, the PA said, "The occupation's conquest of what is called the 'Morag Corridor' and the separation between the cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis show the criminal plans for the conquest to embed itself and divide Gaza, in gross provocation of international law which sets things out clearly, because Gaza is an integral part of the State of Palestine." The Palestinian Authority also reiterated its...

Due to his criminal history, Hunter Biden has agreed to revoke his license to practice law in Washington, D.C. Hunter was previously convicted on three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses, according to the Department of Justice. He was also convicted of three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018. Nevertheless, his father, former President Joe Biden, pardoned him in December 2024 — despite the fact that the former Democrat president had vowed not to pardon him numerous times prior. “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I...

Judge Boasberg blocks Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua, despite intelligence linking the gang to Venezuela’s government and acts of sabotage in the U.S. As President Trump fulfills his campaign promise to deport criminal illegal aliens, a blatantly corrupt judge is trying to stop him. Judge James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has abandoned all pretense to fairness. I will leave it to others to focus on his conflicts of interest (the FISA Court, his wife, his daughter) and his double standard of justice. This article...

Washington -- As President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk work to overhaul the federal government, they are forcing out thousands of workers with insider knowledge and connections who now need a job. For Russia, China and other adversaries, the upheaval in Washington as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency guts government agencies presents an unprecedented opportunity to recruit informants, national security andintelligence experts say. Every former federal worker with knowledge of or access to sensitive information or systems could be a target. When thousands of them leave their jobs at the same time, that creates a lot of targets, as...

Ever wonder what drives a federal judge to order planes full of illegal immigrants, whom are gang members such as MS13 and Tren De Aragua, to turn back? Maybe it’s because his wife runs a NGO funded by USAID, and his daughter Katherine works for Partners for Justice — a group that serves legal support to those very same criminals, thanks to 76% of their cash flow coming from Uncle Sam! This organization is like an anti-deportation cheer squad and even boasts about having knocked off 5,000 years of prison time since 2018. So, when investigative journalist Laura Loomer started...

NEW: ICE confirms to @FoxNews that they arrested Jeanette Vizguerra, a convicted criminal Mexican illegal alien & immigration activist, in Aurora, CO yesterday. ICE confirms she has a final order of removal (deportation order) via a DOJ immigration judge, and has repeatedly had due process, including multiple stays of deportation. She notoriously hid in a Denver church for years to avoid deportation, and she has remained an immigration fugitive. Despite having a final order of removal stretching back to the Obama administration, several Democrat politicians in Colorado falsely claimed today that Vizguerra has had no due process, including Denver Mayor...

And this is, Josiah Waters @1201LLC was just on the @larryelder show, where he laid out Ilhan Omar as a fugitive of justice, as so did Minnesota Republican, State Rep. Steve Drazkowski. They’ve got receipts—affidavits, emails, eviction notices, and documents—and the FBI and DOJ buried it. — Waters is calling on @PamBondi and @Kash_Patel to restart the investigation and pursue for the arrest and prosecution of Ilhan Omar for defrauding the United States government. Josiah Waters: The reason she is being protected is that if she goes down, everyone goes down—Democracy Partners, lawyers, activists… the very crime syndicate that has...

12 Timothy 1:7 (King James Version) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. It looks like the FBI Keystone Kops have decided to play hardball. Apparently, they don’t work for the Department of Justice or the President of the United States. They think they don’t need to turn the information on Epstein over to the Attorney General or the Director of the FBI who are their superiors. If they ignore the deadline, they will be guilty of insubordination and subject to immediate firing. Disobeying orders is...
