Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin is pushing back on some of Hollywood's biggest and most influential stars using their social media accounts to disseminate false and misleading information about the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles. Among them is actress Eva Longoria, who in an Instagram post last week said the ICE raids are taking place in elementary schools and at graduation ceremonies. "These round-ups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary school graduations, Home Depot," said Longoria, who has 10.6 million followers. "Those are not criminals and I hope that everybody has more compassion for...

Eliminating or crippling Iran’s nuclear weapons development infrastructure is vital. President Trump says that Iran is nearing nuclear weapons capability. Coordinating with the Israelis in removing or diminishing that threat serves both countries’ national security interests. Morphing that limited aim into a regime change war isn’t in America’s interest.#Trump’s opposition to direct U.S. military intervention chagrins neocons and some Israel boosters, but Trump has been many times adamant: He opposes the Washington establishment’s eagerness for color revolutions, regime change wars, nation-building exercises, and whatever else in the past the State Department and CIA have concocted and Lindsey Graham has rah-rahed....

It is hard to believe that barely one year ago, Joe Biden self-immolated on a debate stage in Atlanta. His cringeworthy meltdown set off a chain of events that led to the most dramatic—and exciting—presidential election in U.S. history. What transpired after the evening of June 27, 2024 is a timeline even the best fiction writer could not have imagined. A near-fatal assassination attempt against Donald Trump; the replacement of Biden with Kamala Harris; another assassination attempt against Trump. 8x ===== SNIP! ===== X8 Every day created a rollercoaster-like atmosphere—and ended with the greatest political comeback in U.S history when...

Since Planned Parenthood opened its first abortion center in New York in 1970, a cultural shift has sidelined fathers, eroding the family unit. The mantra “my body, my choice” promised women autonomy but often left men stripped of responsibility or voice in the life-or-death decisions for their unborn children. This narrative, championed by groups like the National Organization for Women, has framed men as irrelevant, accelerating a societal drift toward fatherlessness. In 1970, 75% of black children grew up in two-parent households. By 2011, that figure plummeted to 28%, according to U.S. Census data. The consequences are stark: crime rates...

War-weary Americans are worried their country is about to be dragged into another Middle East quagmire. Their concern is well founded. The United States military is already helping Israel shoot down Iranian missiles and moving more military assets into the region. MAGA support for President Donald Trump has remained consistent and bulletproof so far. But war with Iran may prove a red line for the president’s most loyal cohort. “I can tell you right now, our MAGA base does not want war,” MAGA influencer and founder of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk said Friday during a segment of his popular...

Host Audie Cornish opened CNN This Morning's coverage of the arrest of the man suspected of assassinating a Minnesota state legislator and her husband, and wounding two others, with a clip of Gopher State Governor Tim Walz telling people that "rather than arguing, shake hands, find common ground." This is the same guy who recently boasted, speaking of Trump supporters, that he can "kick most of their ass." And just last month, here was Walz's proposal to fight back against Trump: "Be a little meaner, maybe it’s time for us to be a little more fierce. We have to ferociously...

The gunman accused of shooting two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota has been taken into custody. Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested late Sunday night for the murders of Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attempted murder of Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. He is facing both state and federal charges, with authorities announcing on Sunday that there is both a 'nationwide warrant' for Boelter's arrest for the murders and attempted murder at the state level as well as a federal warrant for 'unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.' Boelter, a Trump supporter, was tracked into...

...In a legal sense, it is not merely a "protest" to obstruct law enforcement. It’s a crime. It is not "protest" to throw bricks at ICE agents or police, or set cars on fire. But the broadcast coverage of this unrest sounded disturbingly like the excuse-making for the George Floyd riots of 2020, when violent mobs were described as a "racial reckoning." Once again, the TV networks used the mantra that the protests are "mostly peaceful," like it was a tiny sideshow, and Trump calling out the National Guard to quell the violence was treated as a provocation that worsened...

[snip] On Friday's edition of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish described the anti-ICE activity in L.A. as "one of the kind of ultimate split-screen stories," in which some people see protests, while others see "fires and disorders." Responded CNN media analyst Sara Fischer: "The misinformation split screen reminds me a lot of January 6th . . . We had a very similar dynamic as well during the George Floyd protests, where it was a question of whether or not this was left-wing Antifa destroying stores, destroying glass fronts, or if it was folks on the right."Get the rest of...

Liberals in cable and network news are lying to the public about the Los Angeles riots and related unrest. They are going on TV every day and telling the public not to believe what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears. Does this feel familiar? It should, because it’s the exact same thing they did with Joe Biden for years. Just a few weeks ago, Jake Tapper and other media liberals were telling us that they just somehow ‘missed the story’ of Biden’s mental decline, after insisting there was nothing wrong with him. During an appearance on...

“60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley spoke out about President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against CBS and its parent company on Saturday, arguing that a settlement would be “very damaging.” “Well, it’d be very damaging to CBS, to Paramount, to the reputation of those companies,” Pelley said during a conversation with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Saturday, who asked how harmful a settlement and potential apology would be to the network. Trump filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS News’ parent company, over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in October 2024. Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump rejected...

It’s almost hard to believe what we’re witnessing, not just in the streets of Los Angeles, but on our TV screens, where the so-called “news” media is once again doing its best impression of Baghdad Bob. As violent mobs riot against ICE, hurl objects at law enforcement, set fires, and surround federal buildings, the media is bending over backward to pretend it’s all just another peaceful day in paradise.And it’s not just national media.ABC 7 in Los Angeles is gaslighting its viewers, too. Anchor Marc Brown had the audacity to blame law enforcement for escalating the situation when it was...

The Democrat senator criticizes Trump's deployment of National Guard.The anti-ICE demonstrations in and around Los Angeles have been “peaceful,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed on Sunday, despite clear evidence of violent clashes with federal authorities.Booker seemed to take a page out of CNN’s “mostly peaceful” playbook from 2020 after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend. Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — both Democrats — for not being able to contain the chaos as videos and media reports documented how demonstrators hurled rocks, concrete, and fireworks at...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Around 300 National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday on orders from President Donald Trump, staging outside a federal complex that remained largely quiet and without major protests following two days of clashes with immigration authorities.The deployment appeared to be the first time in decades that a state’s national guard was activated without a request from its governor, a significant escalation against those who have sought to hinder the administration’s mass deportation efforts. On Sunday morning, some of the troops were stationed outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, dressed in tactical...

An ABC 7 News reporter was on scene in the middle of the fires and violent riots and she claimed the protests were “peaceful.” “The demonstrations have been going on right outside the federal detention center. Most of those demonstrations were very peaceful – they’re chanting, they’re shouting… and again, they’re expressing their anger about the detention of so many immigrants at the federal detention center,” the reporter said as she was harassed and heckled by anti-ICE rioters.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene vows to oppose the One Big Beautiful Bill when it returns to the House if there are no changes made to the artificial intelligence provision. Greene says she was unaware of the AI provision when she first voted for the bill and now argues it would endanger state rights, risk job losses in her manufacturing-heavy district, and open the door to forced property seizures. Facing criticism for missing the provision, Greene defended her transparency, claiming no other lawmakers publicly flagged the AI clause and pledging to fight any future legislation that limits state authority over AI...

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Karen Bass used Walter Lopes’ Pacific Palisades home as a prop to pat herself on the back for helping the neighborhood rebuild after the January wildfires. But The Post can reveal that Lopes’ house is the only structure standing for blocks and blocks in the charred, desolate neighborhood. And even he isn’t buying Bass’s narrative that rebuilding is going swiftly and smoothly. Lopes said he was only able to get started so quickly because he was rebuilding his house exactly as it was constructed just a few years ago — and he’s shelled out millions of...

DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: Yes, I'm not sure it was wreckage. There was wreckage if you're at NIH. There are wreckage at certain agencies, but the guy only saved $65 billion out of a multitrillion-dollar budget. So, as a budget matter, you would not say he had a big effect, but he did manage to destroy NIH and USAID. And the USAID one is the one I haven't gotten over. And so there's folks at Boston University who count, how many people have died because of what DOGE did at USAID? And USAID was a very ill-managed organization. That's...

MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns took to dramatic fearmongering on Wednesday that the ‘big, beautiful bill’ would kill trans-identifying individuals.In an article griping about President Trump’s plan to keep Medicaid from paying for transgender hormone injections, MSNBC repeated the debunked falsehood that lack of access to so-called “gender-affirming care” will cause people to die.The “one big, beautiful bill,” which passed the House and is making its way through the Senate, would prevent taxpayer dollars from funding opposite-sex hormones for adults and minors. But MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns, a freelance columnist who proclaims the title “the first openly transgender Capitol Hill reporter in U.S....

With the welcome mat withdrawn for promising researchers from around the world, America is at risk of losing its longstanding pre-eminence in the sciences.For decades, Bangalore, India, has been an incubator for scientific talent, sending newly minted Ph.D.s around the world to do groundbreaking research. In an ordinary year, many aim their sights at labs in the United States. “These are our students, and we want them to go and do something amazing,” said a professor at the National Center for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, Raj Ladher. But this is not an ordinary year. When Professor Ladher queried some 30...
