On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) talked about sending the Guard to Chicago. Miller said, “My hope is that he comes in with the National Guard today…I think he absolutely has the authority to do it. … He’s proven he can do it by going into DC and in two weeks, tamping down the crime there in a way that nobody’s ever seen before. And so, I’m very hopeful, in fact, I don’t even think it’s that he’s thinking about coming to Chicago, I think he has promised to come to Chicago and do what he did...

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel revealed that the agency has been investigating a stabbing that took place on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, resulting in the death of a Ukrainian refugee. “The FBI has been investigating the Charlotte train murder from day one,” Patel wrote in a post on X. “Stay tuned.” Patel’s post comes after Iryna Zarutska, 23, was allegedly stabbed in the throat several times on August 22, 2025, by suspect Decarlos Brown Jr. while riding the Charlotte light rail. Breitbart News reported that Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder regarding the...

Teresa Stokes, the last judge to release Decarlos Brown Jr. (a homeless, violent schizophrenic with a lengthy criminal rap sheet) earlier this year, is a woman of many hats. Not only is she an activist judge who makes decisions based on a progressive perspective of criminality, uses her gavel to mete out “reparative” and “equitable” justice—as evidenced by the no-cash bail release for a perp like Decarlos in January—but she’s also apparently the Director of Operations for a mental health and addiction clinic in her very own community. 🚨 NEW: Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who RELEASED 14-time criminal DeCarlos Brown...

The deranged homeless man charged with butchering a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte train was free on cashless bail after a magistrate released him with just a “written promise” to show up for court — despite a nearly two-decade history of violence and mental illness. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny dating back to 2007. His own mother told local TV station WSOC that her son was schizophrenic and should never have been allowed to roam the streets. Horrifying...

President Donald Trump ripped Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) on Monday for stating last week that the concept that rights are given by a creator – a foundational American belief – is “extremely troubling.” During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing last Wednesday, Kaine called comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suggesting rights are God-given, “very troubling.” “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the creator–that’s what the Iranian government believes,” Kaine said. “The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling,”...

Dorian Johnson, the friend of Mike Brown who started the false rumors that Brown was killed with his hands ups surrendering to police, was killed Sunday in Ferguson, Missouri. Dorian Johnson was also with Brown earlier when Brown strong-armed a convenience store owner and walked out with items he stole from the store. Ferguson Police reported on Dorian Johnson’s death on Sunday. The Ferguson police have one person in custody. No officers were involved in the shooting.

Democrat North Carolina Governor Josh Stein broke his deafening silence on the senseless and unprovoked murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. on the Charlotte light rail. After posting his statement on X and using the moment to push his political agenda, suggesting that his budget proposal will fix the issue and calling on the legislature to pass it, Stein got hit with a brutal Community Note on X, calling him out for avoiding the real issue. He attempted to claim that incidents like this are “why my budget calls for more funding to hire...

Promises Made, Promises Kept. Since taking office, President Donald J. Trump has made history again and again for the faith community. Since the founding of our nation, nobody has fought harder or gained more for believers, reversing the catastrophic policies of the previous administration while building on the winning legacy of his first term. President Trump has protected religious liberty and affirmed faith in America. He has fought anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and other forms of anti-religious bias while ending the weaponization of government against all people of faith. He has expanded school choice, protected parental rights, restored biological truth, uplifted families,...

[PHOTOS OF DOCS AT LINK.........................] Guest post by Joel Gilbert Letitia James’s New York State mortgage records indicate that she committed mortgage fraud on a $200,000 “Credit Line Mortgage” with Citizens Bank in 2021. Like other mortgages, it requires a signed note, a mortgage document, and recording with the county clerk. The mortgage document shows that James misrepresented her five-unit apartment building as a single-family dwelling. This false claim allowed James to avoid significantly higher commercial loan closing costs and a higher interest rate. In New York, the number of units in a property determines whether a loan qualifies as...

President Donald Trump has never played by the stale rules of Washington, and Americans are grateful for it. His bold call for a 2026 pre-midterm convention is a political masterstroke that will cement America First policies, energize the Republican base and ignite Generation Z voters. This convention is a seismic shift that sends a clear message to every politician: fight for the American people or step aside. The GOP’s victories, from retaking the White House and strengthening congressional majorities to delivering real wins on border security, tax cuts, a stronger economy and energy independence, set the stage for Trump’s call...

WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said India and Russia seem to have been "lost" to China after their leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, expressing his annoyance at New Delhi and Moscow as Beijing pushes a new world order. "Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" Trump wrote in a social media post accompanying a photo of the three leaders together at Xi's summit in China. Later on Friday, however, he told reporters he didn't think the U.S....

Among President Trump’s long list of perceived political enemies, one lawmaker has drawn outsize scrutiny from the administration: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Trump has routinely fixated on the California senator, who investigated Russia’s 2016 election interference and served as the lead manager on Trump’s first impeachment. Schiff was also a member of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, laying blame for the riot with Trump. Since taking office for the second time, Trump has not just repeatedly bashed Schiff but tapped his powers to go after his adversary. The administration has launched a probe...

New documents show that President Biden was checked out of decisions on pardoning felons and commuting the sentences of death-row inmates while his aides worked to make him look involved on paper. The National Archives and Records Administration handed over Biden administration memos detailing steps taken to create a record that would make Mr. Biden look like the decision-maker for the thousands of pardons signed by autopen during his final days in office.“Internal emails reveal Biden didn’t review thousands of pardons granted in his final days and even his own White House lawyers were scrambling for proof he approved them,”...

LAPD discontinued protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday amid criticism that officers were being diverted from crime suppression duties. The temporary security arrangement began when President Trump revoked Harris’s Secret Service protection, forcing California agencies to scramble for coverage. Police union criticized pulling officers from protecting “everyday Angelenos” to guard a “multi-millionaire” who can afford private security. The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday discontinued its protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after heavy criticism within its own ranks that officers were being diverted from crime suppression, sources told The Times. LAPD Metropolitan Division officers had...

Ohio lawmakers are weighing a new energy program that would let utilities temporarily adjust household thermostats and water heaters — but only for customers who sign up. House Bill 427, introduced this week in the General Assembly, would create an opt-in “demand response” program aimed at cutting strain on the state’s power grid during peak usage, such as summer heat waves or winter freezes. Rep. Roy Klopfenstein (R-Haviland), the bill’s sponsor, said the plan extends a proven tool already used by the industry. “Demand response programs have proven to be a vital tool for our large commercial users, and it’s...

(NewsNation) — Illinois lawmakers hoping to learn more about a looming large-scale federal operation targeting Chicago were denied access to Department of Homeland Security officials on Friday in what one senior U.S. Senator described as a “terrible act of political theater” by the Trump administration. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., along with Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Illinois Rep. Brad Schneider, another Democrat, visited Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago, hoping to learn more about the upcoming mission, which some local officials said could last up to six weeks, Durbin said at a news confernece. Durbin said that DHS officials...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over a recent two-year period, the Pentagon funded hundreds of projects done in collaboration with universities in China and institutes linked to that nation’s defense industry, including many blacklisted by the U.S. government for working with the Chinese military, a congressional investigation has found. The report, released Friday by House Republicans on the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, argues the projects have allowed China to exploit U.S. research partnerships for military gains while the two countries are locked in a tech and arms rivalry.“American taxpayer dollars should be used to defend the nation — not...

Former President Joe Biden sparked concern after he was seen with a massive gash on his head while greeting people in Delaware over Labor Day weekend. Shocking footage shared on social media showed the frail 82-year-old sporting a noticeably red wound across the front of his head, partly hidden by his white hair, while leaving a church in Rehoboth Beach. “I was a little surprised ’cause it’s a noticeable scar,” Fred Karger, who filmed the video and shared it to X Tuesday, told Inside Edition, which first broke the news Thursday.
