On Friday’s “CNN News Central,” Minneapolis City Council Member Robin Wonsley responded to a question on what should replace ICE if it is abolished as she wants by stating that “This was used as a wedge issue to divide Americans, thinking that these immigrant — law enforcement agents are going to go out and get the bad guys off the streets. No, they are the bad guys.” Co-host Sara Sidner asked, “[Y]ou have called for abolishing ICE entirely. But we have seen polling from the American people who have said, look, they did put Donald Trump in office, in part,...

During the LA wildfires, I noted that the LAFD was being run by three lesbians named Kirsten. (Not a joke.) Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief”. Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’,...

Clueless leftist “comedian” Whoopi Goldberg was forced to apologize and issue a correction just minutes after falsely claiming President Donald Trump did not comment on the Brown University shooting. As a reminder, Trump offered his condolences less than two hours after the campus tragedy, which left two students dead and nine others injured.

At the time, Goldberg was fuming over a Truth Social post Trump issued on Sunday following the shocking...
