A Minnesota Department of Human Services employee, whose Tesla vandalism spree in Minneapolis was caught on video, is still employed by the state. Taxpayers are continuing to pay the salary of Dylan Adams, a fiscal policy analyst at the Minneapolis DHS. In March, Adams racked up more than $21,000 in damages during work hours as he walked around the city with his dog and keyed the electric cars. When asked about consequences Adams may have faced for his vandalism, a DHS spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Mail that 'Dylan Adams is a current employee.' The spokesperson also said, 'no public...

In a drama reshaping Virginia’s high-stakes 2025 elections, Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones remains in the race despite widespread condemnation of a series of 2022 text messages in which he stated he would shoot a Republican politician in the head and fantasized about the children of another Republican being killed. The fallout has put pressure on Jones’ party to act, but so far, many prominent Democrats have stopped short of demanding his exit. The messages, first reported by the National Review on Friday and later picked up by multiple outlets, emerged from a 2022 exchange between Jones and Virginia...

There could be as many as 104.1 million people who back domestic terrorism in the U.S. Most of America believes politically motivated violence is a problem in America, and there remains an alarming 30% who believe "Americans may need to resort to violence to get the country back on course," according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. That 30% includes 11% who "strongly agree" Americans must resort to violence to force their political agenda, and 19% "agree."

Anti-American leftist anarchists are doxing, stalking, and targeting federal agents in coordinated plots across major U.S. cities, with some groups offering thousands of dollars to kidnap or kill them, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "So our intelligence indicates that these people are organized," Noem warned in a Sunday morning TV interview. "They're getting more and more people on their team, as far as attacking officers, and they're making plans to ambush them and to kill them. "We have specific officers and agents that have bounties on their heads. It's been $2,000 to kidnap them, $10,000 to...

An Oregon federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending the National Guard into Portland, as the city contends with hundreds of protestors at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. It's a major blow to Trump, who called Portland a 'war-ravaged' city under siege by Antifa terrorists, when he announced last week that federal agents would be deployed there. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, made the ruling after the city and the state sued the federal government. The temporary restraining order expires in 14 days on October 18, Immergut wrote in her order. The Department of...

Sources say university officials had hoped the despicable incident would just ‘go away quietly.’ They were wrong. The University of Delaware is finally responding after its communications department failed to stop a student-produced “comedy” skit show from thanking “Charlie Kirk’s Killer” in the closing credits to air. A recent episode of The Bi-Weekly Show, a program aired on the university’s Student Television Network (STN49), included that crass line celebrating the cold-blooded murder last month of the conservative icon and founder of Turning Point USA, according to a screenshot posted Wednesday by the Delaware Republican Party.The university was slow to respond...

The body politic is sick, and America’s survival is at stake.Are happy days here again? This issue of our print magazine, with a beautiful cover by resident cartoonist Yogi Love, will share lots of evidence to support that contention. Indeed, in so many ways, from inflation, to crime, to immigration, and on and on, there’s good news. And yet… My introduction will be the fly in this joyful ointment. Senior Editor and my podcast co-host Scott McKay calls me Eeyore. We have two years of podcast conversations of me seeing the worst. I apologize to you, loyal viewers, but I...

The department cited tension in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war and recent attacks on places of worship,...

In their perverse pursuit of power, leftist politicians are daily signing the death warrant for the next political assassination. It’s now a matter of when, not if. You can’t relentlessly call your political enemies “Nazis”, “fascists,” and “tyrants” without giving license to homicidal leftists to do what they do best: Attack their perceived existential threats. Just ask the family and friends of Christian evangelizer and conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Or President Donald Trump, who is intimately familiar with what the unhinged left is capable of. American politics is a tinder box right now, and leftists like California Gov. Gavin Newsom...

If the leftists controlling the justice system in New York would convict Donald Trump on 34 felony charges of not really anything, what would they do to an actual criminal? If the criminal shares their ideology, nothing: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has declined to prosecute a woman who left a pro-life activist bloodied during a street interview in New York City earlier this year, according to attorneys from the Thomas More Society. New York police arrested Brianna J. Rivers, 30, in April on one count of second-degree assault after she sucker punched activist Savannah Craven Antao during a...

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer PROMISES he will stop President Trump's deployment of troops to Portland and ICE facilities to quell insurrection. "We will FIGHT IT! [...] This is SO FAR stepping over the line that I hope some [Republicans] will join us in legislation to prevent it - we HAVE such a proposal. I'm part of it." Good luck with that, Chuck. There is NOTHING illegal about the troops defending federal property.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical transgender activist has once again spotlighted the growing militancy inside the LGBTQ+ protest movement. What the mainstream media won’t tell you is that this rising wave of aggressive activism isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s being carefully studied, organized, and in some cases directly subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars. At the center of this network sits Erica Chenoweth, a Harvard professor who identifies as nonbinary and uses “they/them” pronouns. Chenoweth has built a career researching how youth and LGBTQ+ activists can be mobilized in protest movements, focusing less on morality or safety...

A Republican lawmaker called for the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom over an insult that MAGA supporters have also frequently hurled. Newsom’s press office posted “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” on X on Friday. The post has garnered over 24 million views as of Sunday night. Many Republicans were quick to criticize the post, including Rep. Nancy Mace, who labeled the post as “violent rhetoric.” Wisconsin congressman Derrick Francis Van Orden went a step further, labeling the post as “domestic terrorism.” “At this point, this reaches the threshold of domestic terrorism,“ the 56-year-old wrote. ”This is no longer ‘inflammatory’,...
