Groups of international fugitives are making their way to Sanctuary Cities across America. It is here that their criminal behavior is not only protected by a soft on crime justice system, but their status as foreign criminals does not at all bother local police who refuse to turn them over to ICE for deportation.

More protesters at Los Angeles hotels protesting all night long, making as much noise as possible to keep ICE agents up. Leaving these hotels fake reviews. Journalistic report. Includes news footage, commentary and analysis.

Chicago, long infested with crime and poverty, keeps crawling ahead of its rivals to remain the champion of one more side effect of its decline. Pest control company Orkin said that the deep-blue Democrat-dominated city is top in the nation in bed bugs for the fifth consecutive year. Orkin bases its list on data from metro areas where the company has been called in to provide bed bug treatments between May 15, 2024, and May 14, 2025. Both residential and commercial calls are counted. ... Although Chicago remains on top, Orkin noted that Hartford, Connecticut, crawled onto its list of...

Democrats are planning a nationwide sick day where they pledge to stop working, spending, and producing. Sounds good, make the Democrat-led cities collapse even faster.

Take heed, New Yorkers, and learn from San Francisco’s mistakes: The City by the Bay has discovered to its sorrow that charismatic leaders like Zohran Mamdani can dazzle — but their decisions can be disastrous. Just a few years ago San Franciscans, too, supported magnetic populists, then watched as their neighborhoods fell off a livability cliff. Regrets, we have more than a few — and many we want to mention. In 2017 London Breed, a brash and captivating city supervisor from the projects, became acting mayor when the mild-mannered Mayor Ed Lee died. With big promises of housing creation, downtown...

It has been many years since a political party was cast as far into the wilderness as the Democrats of 2025. Fresh off their second defeat at the hands of their mortal enemy, Donald Trump, it was reasonable to assume that the party would realize the need to abandon the progressive policies that repelled the broad center of the electorate. Instead, it appears that the opposite has occurred, as proven in both the response to President Trump’s strike on Iran and Tuesday’s (June 24) Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. Democrats Doubling Down Democratic Party leaders must understand by...

Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass and over 30 other mayors of nearby cities on Wednesday called for an end to federal immigration enforcement raids amid protests. Protests in Los Angeles turned violent over the weekend after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids last week, resulting in detentions and deportations of illegal immigrants. The violent protests led to President Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to the city over California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) objection. "A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of Los Angeles, and in all of the representatives behind me, in their cities,...

That civil war is looming in the West is a logical conclusion of standard, well-understood precepts of social science. The likely fracture of multicultural societies along lines of identity is an obvious hypothesis. The configuration of demographic geography, and the factional polarisation that is its political consequence, is a measurable fact. The precariousness of contemporary urbanity is a thing which geographers have worried over for at least a half century.[xvi] In short, the situation which I have described above is unpleasant, but it is not controversial as far as our grasp of current reality and theoretical understanding of how societies...

Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) claimed President Donald Trump was “unlawfully” escalating the situation in Los Angeles. Padilla said, “I think what’s also important to remind ourselves of is it didn’t have to get to this point. This is absolutely a crisis that has been made intentionally by Donald Trump, beginning with the increasingly aggressive and theatrical immigration enforcement activities, the ICE raids in elementary schools and houses of worship, please, to him looking or creating any opportunity to further and further escalate. ” He continued, “The federalization of National Guard troops is not only unnecessary,...

Democrats favor illegal aliens over Americans, and the more violent they are, the better. There is no illegal Democrats will not defend or donate to. How much money do you think racist groups like La Raza spend on lawyers for violent illegals versus how much do you think they’ve donated to victims of illegal alien crime? I bet they’ve given nothing to help victims; their focus is on creating more of them. As the deportation of people who have no legal right to be here and have not only not contributed anywhere near what they cost our economy – in...
