Michael Fanone, the Democrats' insufferable foul-mouthed J6 mascot, says citizens need to start shooting ICE agents. "It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what is clearly becoming unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans.” Fanone is trying to incite the murder of federal law enforcement for doing their jobs. Arrest this man.

Somali-born Oregon state Senate senator Kayse Jama criticized federal immigration enforcement officers Thursday night following a federal agent’s shooting of two people in Portland, telling them they were not welcome in the community. Speaking at a news conference alongside Portland’s mayor and other state and local leaders, Jama, a Somali‑born refugee and Oregon Democrat, addressed federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying, “This is Oregon. We do not need you. You’re not welcome. And you need to get the hell out of our community.” The remarks came amid fallout from a Thursday afternoon incident in which federal Customs...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer is reverberating across Capitol Hill where Democrats, and certain Republicans, are vowing an assertive response as President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation operations spark protests nationwide.Lawmakers are demanding a range of actions, from a full investigation into Renee Good’s shooting death and policy changes over law enforcement raids to the defunding of ICE operations and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in what is fast becoming an inflection point.“The situation that took place in Minnesota is a complete and total disgrace,” House Democratic...

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals,...

President Trump is taking decisive against the egregious fraud being committed against American taxpayers, and @USTreasury is following the money. We took on the mafia. We took on the cartels. Now, we are cracking down on Somali fraud networks and money being wired out of our country. We are opening investigations and putting an end to illicit activities in order to defend taxpayers and put America First.

Billions of dollars in alleged fraudulent healthcare spending is being investigated in California, specifically probing foreign nationals operating illegal hospice facilities — officials announced Friday in a bombshell press conference. “We have witnessed a sevenfold increase in hospice in LA County, sevenfold. That doesn’t happen naturally,” Dr Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services told The Post during at the press conference. “There is not seven times more deaths in LA County than there were five years ago. These are fraudsters, and these do tend to be foreign influences, either Russian and Armenian gangs, mafia,...

Democratic Rep. Angie Craig could be seen laying into Republican Whip Tom Emmer, a fellow Minnesotan, on the House floor on Wednesday in the wake of the shooting of a Minneapolis woman who could be seen driving her car into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. A clip of the verbal altercation between the two lawmakers shows it lasted approximately 40 seconds. During the exchange, Craig repeatedly put her finger in Emmer’s face, while he yelled back at her. Eventually, other lawmakers stepped between them, and Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota pulled Craig away. “Craig told Emmer — who...

House Democrats on Friday launched a probe into possible conflicts of interest following the U.S. military incursion into Venezuela last weekend, seeking to learn whether Trump administration officials or oil companies have or will benefit from the situation. Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee, led by ranking member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., on Friday sent letters to the chief executives of four major oil companies — Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Continental Resources — ahead of a meeting with oil executives at the White House that afternoon. Democrats requested the businesspeople provide information to help lawmakers determine “who stands to privately...

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) abandoned his ludicrous quest for a third term on Jan. 5. He has angrily refused to resign from office. Whenever he departs, whether upon his resignation some time this year or the expiration of his term early next year, we can say this much with certainty: Like former President Joe Biden, he has become a dispensable inconvenience to Democrats, in this case, Minnesota Democrats facing the 2026 elections at all levels of state government, and, like Biden, he will leave office in disgrace.To say that Walz is the worst governor in Minnesota history does not come...

The situation in Minnesota continues to roil the waters. We are looking at the very real possibility of a standoff between the state government led by Governor Tim Walz — the failed vice presidential candidate who just had to step away from a third-term run in Minnesota because of the allegations of fraud — and the federal government. On Thursday, Walz — who is in a world of hurt politically right now because of the Somali fraud scandal — compared this moment to the Civil War. Apparently, it is now the Civil War if you send ICE to enforce arrest...

I wrote earlier, in my story about activists trying to take on the Border Patrol in Minnesota, that the Democrats need to stop the demonizing and whipping people up. We've had numerous agents attacked, and now a woman is dead because of this insanity. They should stop if they care at all about human life—and all the people who could get hurt as a result of the positions they are taking—including federal agents, activists, and illegal aliens. But instead, they apparently decided to double down on it with a post to the X account, which comments on the new cellphone...

The Brief: * Two men from Philadelphia are accused of traveling to Minnesota to take advantage of "easy money" through the state’s Medicaid programs. * The FOX 9 Investigators confirmed both men will plead guilty during plea hearings scheduled for next month. * Authorities allege the pair’s scheme involved $3.5 million in fraudulent Medicaid billing. Federal prosecutors charged Anthony Jefferson and Lester Brown, both from Philadelphia, with exploiting the state’s social service programs to line their own pockets. At the time they were charged in December, Joe Thompson, First Assistant U.S. Attorney, stated, "These defendants came here not to enjoy...

". . .the Minnesota protests look less like a local eruption and more like the latest deployment of an international revolutionary machine." —Insurrection Barbie on "X" Chrump, Chrump Chrump. . . . He’s come to occupy the Left’s minds like an infestation of weevils chawing away the ligaments of civilized society.

The riots that are likely to erupt in Minneapolis will have nothing to do with the death of a woman who was involved in an altercation with ICE officers. Her death will be the excuse that Marxists use to try and burn down the United States. We’ve been here before. After Martin Luther King was assassinated in April 1968, more than 1,200 buildings in Washington, D.C.were burned. The cost was almost $25 million. The mayhem was caused by Marxist radicals. Near the end of his book Ten Blocks From the White House, Washington Post reporter Ben Gilbert - a black...

Geneva, N.Y. — A member of the Geneva City Council is facing charges in connection to a multi-agency narcotics drug trafficking probe. Ahmad Whitfield, 45, was arrested Wednesday after selling cocaine/fentanyl to another person, according to New York State Police. It came during an investigation in the Geneva area conducted by the NYSP Violent Gangs and Narcotics Enforcement Team, the Geneva Police Department, the Ontario County Sheriff's Office and the Seneca County Sheriff's Office. Whitfield was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, state police said. He was taken...

Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state. "Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening. Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

A day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a 37-year-old US citizen in Minneapolis, Democrats on Capitol Hill are demanding restraints on the agency Donald Trump has empowered to carry out his mass deportation campaign – and some are threatening to use the next funding deadline to force those changes.Democrats sharply condemned the Trump administration over the killing of Renee Nicole Good, demanding accountability after the president; JD Vancethe vice-president; and the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem repeatedly claimed that the officer acted in “self-defense”.Videos taken from multiple angles show Good behind the wheel, reversing...

Rogue Judge Boasberg forced himself onto the AEA case while he was on vacation to stop Trump. The Supreme Court slapped him down. In a fit of rage, he is now trying to hold Trump admin officials in contempt for a case he had no jurisdiction over. The House must impeach.

An 18-year-old Wisconsin man accused of killing his parents and stealing their money to fund a plan to assassinate President Trump pleaded guilty to two homicide counts in a deal with prosecutors Thursday, locking himself into two life prison sentences. Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court in connection with the deaths of his stepfather, Donald Mayer, and his mother, Tatiana Casap, last year. In exchange, prosecutors dropped seven other charges, including two counts of hiding a corpse and theft. Each homicide count carries a mandatory life prison sentence. Judge Ralph...
