Trump border czar Tom Homan announced a significant drawdown of federal agents in Minneapolis during a Wednesday morning press conference after receiving “unprecedented cooperation” from local officials. Homan was put in charge of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both shot and killed during altercations with ICE and Border Patrol personnel. During a press conference last week, Homan struck a more optimistic tone about collaborating with local officials like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), and acknowledged that mistakes had been made. On Wednesday, Homan announced...

Kash Patel just gave an update on the FBI raid of the Fulton County Election Center and while he is obviously tight-lipped right now given the ongoing investigation, I picked up a couple gems in what he said.

And now another massive update.... The Trump FBI now has the 2020 Fulton County election ballots! Also the voter list: Let's just say the Commissioner is NOT happy...

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that “the theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the $19 billion originally projected.” The post came as House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify under oath March 4. The testimony will be part of a congressional investigation into alleged fraud in state-run social services programs. In the post, Trump also attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Walz, and Minnesota officials, writing: "The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it. "Scammer" Illhan...

Governor Newscum May Be Involved in Dirty Money Laundering Scheme From Mexican Cartels

A collection of far-left groups — led by a Communist activist network tied to CCP-linked millionaire Marxist Neville Roy Singham — is attempting to organize a nationwide anti-ICE school and business shutdown, with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour declaring that “we will bring this country to a halt.” The general strike effort, scheduled for this Friday, is an attempt to replicate a Minnesota-wide anti-ICE shutdown which occurred last Friday and which was organized by many of the same far-left groups — but now with designs to do so on a national scale. The planned “National Shutdown” announced early this week includes...

When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters...

The saddest thing about this is that the Republicans will work with the left to ensure their victory. The United States is facing an existential threat. My guess is this summer will be the most violent, damaging domestic summer since the Civil War. And I predict the left will win and come out victorious on the other side. They will, after winning this new civil war, seek to eliminate the last vestiges of republicans. I use a small r because while some Republicans are true republicans, most are not. And when the left wins the war, those RINOs are going...

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday the bureau has identified people and groups who are funding leftist protests aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota. During an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast, Patel confirmed that the FBI's investigation into the unrest is active and expanding.

Patel also asserted that federal authorities are examining encrypted left-wing chats connected to protest organizers...

A far-left agitator who stormed a St. Paul church and harassed parishioners on Sunday is now taunting the DOJ and challenging federal prosecutors to come and get him. William Kelly, a well-known leftist agitator, charged into Cities Church on Sunday as Don Lemon livestreamed the crime. Kelly got in the face of parishioners on Sunday. He later compared storming the church to Jesus flipping over tables in the Temple. Worshippers and children were absolutely terrified as William Kelly, BLM activist Nikema Armstrong and Don Lemon interrupted the service and shouted down the pastor. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the...

President Trump has moved to place more than 1,500 Army paratroopers on standby as chaotic anti-ICE protests sweep Minnesota. In the wake of violent clashes in Minneapolis between demonstrators and law enforcement, the White House has reportedly asked federal troops to stand at the ready. Defense officials revealed the plans to ABC News on Saturday, saying the active duty soldiers would be deployed from the 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska.

Brutal honesty: This ICE situation in Minnesota may be a defining moment for how the next 10 years look. Any weakness means fueling the worst domestic extremists. Here’s what should be done: • Invoke the insurrection act • Military arrests rioters and politicians • ICE triples presence and deports maximum # of illegals while DHS denaturalizes anyone who committed immigration fraud and deports them too • Not one apology from the right for anything This must be put down so thoroughly that the far left extremists can’t effectively recruit people in other left wing cities to replicate the chaos and...

The ruthless slaughter of anti-government protesters in Iran appears to have stopped — but only because residents are being held hostage in their homes by machine gun-wielding security forces that have flooded the streets, sources told The Post Thursday. After weeks of anti-regime protests across Iran left thousands dead, the mass mobilization of security forces has suppressed the demonstrations, with many too afraid to step foot outside now. “There were tanks out — there’s tanks everywhere,” the source told The Post after speaking to family in Tehran about the current situation
