Mass immigration created this nation’s greatest political challenge. Distracted by side issues, conservatives sometimes get frustrated with the White House, but deputy policy chief Stephen Miller explained the need to stay focused on what matters most. He described what major cities might look like if existing federal laws were fully enforced. “You’d be able to see a doctor in the emergency room right away, no wait time, no problem,” Mr. Miller said. “Your kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with. Classrooms would be half the size. Students who have...

This is about Los Angeles, but it’s not at all about Los Angeles. This will make sense in a minute. So see if this sounds familiar: MacArthur Park was controlled by gangs and drug dealers, full of open drug use and prostitution, filthy and unsafe for families. The disorder in the park bled into the surrounding neighborhood. [McArthur Park Cam-1 Video at link] MS-13 controlled the park, but other gangs fought for space to sell drugs in the area, which led to violence: "One year, we had almost 106 homicides in eight square miles," an LAPD captain said. Through the...

Sometimes, certain countries are so destructive to civilization that they must be brought to heel. The First Punic War began in 264 BC, lasted 25 years, and was fought between the Romans and the Carthaginians, a civilization in what is today modern Tunisia. The Carthaginians were the most powerful and prosperous force in the Western Mediterranean and North Africa, while the Romans were a growing power on the Italian peninsula. After two decades, with both sides financially and demographically exhausted, Rome prevailed. Carthage ceded Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, and paid substantial reparations. ............................SNIP Today, across the West, there is a...

Things are not happy in Monterey County. The California county, which Kamala won by 63%, is considered a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal aliens by the Department of Homeland Security. But that sanctuary status was recently violated and local officials are outraged. So is the Solidarity Network: a pro-illegal alien group that ‘monitors’ immigration enforcement arrests. Monterey County Board of Supervisors Chair Chris Lopez responded by announcing that a maternal health walk was cancelled. “Monterey County deeply values the contributions of our immigrant workers and families that strengthen our local communities and economy,” Monterey County Supervisor Luis Alejo posted. The Monterey Solidarity...

The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration is getting worse, and weirder, as it strains to resist any and all attempts to enforce immigration law. The immigration raids in and around Los Angeles have resulted in more violent actions from “protesters” and more ridiculous defenses from Democratic politicians. On the latter front, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “scum” for a raid that resulted in “Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields.” Weirdly, Newsom did not think to find out why nearly a dozen children were out in...

Overnight, workers replaced the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport sign with one that reads "Alligator Alcatraz." While on the road that turns into the facility, a new sign also bears the name. [Video at link] In the overnight hours between Wednesday and Thursday, vans could be seen coming in and out of the (apparently) newly-christened "Alligator Alcatraz," the migrant detention facility deep in the Everglades. Though NBC6 has not received official confirmation about the name of the facility or arrival of detainees—which had been expected on Wednesday, a day after the opening of the detention center—our cameras caught several vans...

On Morning Joe, NBC reporter Julia Ainsley fretted that there could be "injuries" to detainees at Alligator Alcatraz. She did so in the context of noting that the facility is "soft-sided" rather than "bricks and mortar." Her implication seemed to be that, as a result, it will be easier for detainees to escape. Pro tip for detainees not wanting to become lunch for a hungry alligator or python: don't add to your crimes by escaping. Ainsley also claimed that with Alligator Alcatraz, the Trump administration is "deviating" from the notion that ICE detention is not meant to be punitive. Katty...

RCP's Phil Wegmann interviewed 'Border Czar' Tom Homan on Thursday's edition of the RealClearPolitics podcast about Iranians arrested by ICE this week, two million people who entered the U.S. without registering at all during the Biden administration, and what the "Big, Beautiful Bill" will do on immigration enforcement. "It's hard to find someone who doesn't want to be found, but it’s our number one focus," Homan said. "We didn't wait for the attack in Iran, but right now we put our foot on the gas with what happened in Iran." "We all know we had an open border for the...

We don’t have to live like this: At least 145 women across France were targeted in syringe attacks at the Festival of Music 2025 (Fête de la Musique), which offers free concerts in cities across the country. [snip] French authorities have not yet indicated what, if any substances, were involved in these specific attacks. Before I even knew what kind of individuals perpetrated these needle attacks, I already knew—we probably all do—and it wasn’t the few white Frenchmen left but…Muslim migrants. While most of the creeps are still on the lam, a Bangladeshi suspect has been arrested as well as...

During my law enforcement career, I never saw what one might reasonably describe as an obvious act of courage on the part of any attorney, prosecutor, or public defender. Their lives and jobs were insulated from the gritty reality of day-to-day police work. It was a reality they experienced from the comfort of office chairs and argued in climate-controlled, guarded courtrooms. Such was not the case for US Attorney John A Sarcone III of the Northern District of New York on June 17, 2025 in Albany, NY. Graphic: Saul Morales-Garcia. Albany County Sheriff's Office. Public DomainLeaving his office in downtown...

Six U.S. B-2 intercontinental manned strategic bombers took out Iran's deepest nuclear bomb development sites today, in what could well prove to be the most historic and important decision President Donald Trump will have made when he leaves office in 2029. The radical Muslim tyranny that has ruled Iran since Jimmy Carter was president in the late 1970s has been killing Americans for decades. Iran's murderous acts began with the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon and continued through a terrible toll of more than 600 Americans as of this day. Regardless of how one views the wisdom...

Democrat policies destroy America one generation at a time. Compromised communist and current Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, recently told paid propagandist Dana Bash on the Communist News Network that there are “entire sectors of our economy that cannot function without immigrant labor.” By “immigrant labor,” the Castro-loving Bass means illegal alien labor. It is certainly not the first time a Democrat politician has argued that foreign workers are essential for the success of America’s economy, but when an L.A. mayor delivers that message as if it were a matter-of-fact truth, a real reporter might follow up with this question:...

In This Wide-Ranging Must-Watch Interview, Alex Jones & Counterterrorism Expert / Former Navy SEAL Matt Bracken Issue A Desperate Warning To America & The World The Globalists Are Going For Broke In Their Attempt To Stage A Race-Based Civil War To Crash The Economy & Drive Trump From Office! [note, the post yesterday was a short excerpt from this video]

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...

“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.” Democrats and assorted never-Trumpers are planning anti-Trump protests this weekend under the banner of ‘No Kings.’ It’s unclear why these losers think Trump sees himself as a king, but what else do these people have left but protests? They have shown repeatedly for months now, that they have nothing to offer the American people but their objections. Randi Weingarten, the head of the country’s largest teacher union, is involved for some reason. The left...

Multiple video feeds from live streamers on the scene of the "color revolution" that is likely coordinated with the anti-Trump deep state. It could be a long, hot summer.

Biden’s border legacy isn’t just policy—it’s a demographic earthquake that will rattle America’s foundation long after he’s gone. The spiteful open-borders legacy of Joe Biden will plague America for generations to come, long after the former president is a fading bad memory. Somewhere between 10-12 million foreign nationals are believed to have entered the U.S. illegally under his watch, to add to the existing 12-20 million illegal aliens. Almost all were unaudited. They stormed the border for four years without background checks of the sort that American citizens must undergo to purchase a firearm or take out a loan. At...

Democrats are forcing America’s long-standing commitment to due process to become a suicide pact, an idea that cannot survive the illegal alien onslaught. Since the Enlightenment, the Anglosphere has had a laudable commitment to due process, which means opposing the brutality of group punishment. But what happens when that commitment leads to societal suicide? Our Founders cannot have intended this, especially regarding those people who ignored due process to enter America illegally. SNIP Why does any of this matter today? Because our Constitution is not a suicide pact. Over the last 4 years, over 10 million illegal aliens invaded the...

Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a new Wyoming law that makes it harder for noncitizens to register to vote. Gov. Mark Gordon, R-Wyo., allowed House Bill 156 to become law on March 21 without his signature. The legislation requires prospective registrants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Proof includes a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers, among other options. The legislation, which passed the state House 51 to eight and the state Senate by 26 to four, is slated to go into effect on July 1, 2025....

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters during a briefing Thursday morning: "You all choose to live in condos or homes or houses as far away from these kinds of gang bangers as you possibly can... And yet you, with your coverage, are trying to force innocent Americans to have these people as their neighbors." STEPHEN MILLER: We talk about due process. The Biden administration made the decision to give extensive due process to two Tren de Aragua terrorists who were apprehended at the border just a couple of years ago. Two gentlemen from Venezuela, members of...
