A US Senator was tear gassed amid chaotic protests outside a New Jersey ICE facility on Monday after the state's governor was denied entry in what the Department of Homeland Security called 'a political stunt.' Anti-ICE protesters have hounded Delaney Hall in Newark for days amid a hunger and labor strike launched by hundreds of detainees inside, according to The New Jersey Monitor. The facility has been a point of controversy during the second Trump administration, with multiple Democrat politicians demanding its closure over concerns of poor conditions. The migrants claim that they have been served beans and salad with...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is taking heat from southern conservatives after she delivered a fiery speech in Montgomery, Alabama, last week, demanding that northern progressives “pull up to the South.” Speaking at the “All Roads Lead to The South” rally May 16, the prominent “Squad” member claimed the US was not a true democracy until the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act was passed, and took direct aim at the Supreme Court, accusing the high court under Chief Justice John Roberts of being “part of that long history of regression and repression in America.” Ocasio-Cortez then issued a highly controversial...

In what would have once been viewed as career-ending rhetoric, a Democrat candidate running for Congress in Texas is now openly discussing prison camps for ideological opponents -- and doing so in a political environment where outrage, extremism, and online performance increasingly generate attention instead of condemnation. Maureen Galindo, a Democrat candidate for Texas' 35th Congressional District, stunned many Americans after comments in which she called for converting the Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for "American Zionists" and former ICE officers. Even more chilling, she suggested the facility could also become "a castration processing center for pedophiles, which...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stood in front of a progressive conference on Tuesday and said exactly what Democrats think about the tens of millions of Americans who voted for President Trump. He wants to break them. VIDEO AT LINK................. He said Democrats had to beat them at the ballot box, then break their spirit. The remarks came during the 2026 CAP IDEAS Conference, hosted by the Center for American Progress and streamed online via Zoom. Jeffries, who would become Speaker of the House if Democrats retake the majority in November, used his session to frame the midterm election as...

BREAKING UPDATE: Desiree Segari, the Florida woman who called for Trump supporters to be SHOT, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison.

Actor Mark Hamill made big news this week when he posted an AI generated image of President Trump laying in a shallow grave. The caption began "If only..." The White House was quick to respond, calling him "one sick individual." Hamill, who still does work as a voice actor, seems to have thought better of wishing President Trump was dead and deleted the post. He then posted another one in which he vaguely apologized and claimed people had misunderstood his point. Others didn't even pretend to be sorry. One response read, "Your post made it to the White House and...

Screencap of YouTube video. People in the left are absolutely frothing at the mouth over the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court that tore down their effort to gerrymander the state. Hasan Piker, an America-hating, self-proclaimed communist and streamer, who Democrats just can’t seem to get enough of, has alsready suggested violent revolution as a fix for the problem. It’s just amazing how political violence has become so normal for people on the left. They just want their way and will do anything to get it. FOX News reports: Leftist streamer calls violent revolution ‘inevitable’ as Democrats explode over Virginia...

President Donald Trump on Thursday linked violent rhetoric flowing from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to political violence, including the most recent assassination attempt on him. “This lunatic, Hakeem ‘Low IQ’ Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE!” Trump posted on Truth Social. Trump posted an image of Jeffries standing by a photo of Trump that had the words “maximum warfare, everywhere all the time” upon it. Next to that was an image from a video that showed accused gunman Cory Tomas Allen as he arrived at the White House Correspondents Association dinner In the least surprising moment since Katie...

The conscienceless monster that is left-wing political violence has a voracious appetite. And the Trump-hating media are feeding it. A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds a majority of likely U.S. voters — 60 percent — believes that the constant barrage of negative coverage of President Donald Trump likely contributed to the latest assassination attempt. The national telephone and online survey of 1,076 Americans, conducted April 27-29, shows 41 percent of those surveyed think it “very likely” the media’s one-sided treatment had some influence. A mere 13 percent of respondents said it’s “not at all likely” that the media has some...

President Donald Trump accused House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., of inciting the most recent assassination attempt against him, further escalating his feud with the top Democrat. Trump argued in a Truth Social post on Thursday that Jeffries should be arrested after promoting "warfare" against Republicans just days before the assassination scare at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in April. "This lunatic, Hakeem "Low IQ" Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE!" Trump wrote on social media. He included images of Jeffries standing with a sign displaying the words "maximum warfare" and the faces of Trump and his aide...

The alleged wannabe assassin at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was radicalized by rhetoric and believed that murdering members of the Trump administration was justified morally and spiritually. While no evidence thus far directly links him to the Southern Poverty Law Center, one must wonder how many acts of violence like this one could have been inspired by the SPLC’s misguided manifesto that the ends justify the means.The Southern Poverty Law Center has long cloaked itself in the mantle of a noble crusader against hate and extremism. The 11-count federal indictment handed down by a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama,...

Dan Abrams ripped House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday for calling the U.S. Supreme Court “illegitimate.” Jeffries made the comments after the court ruled 6-3 to erode the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act that gave voters the ability to challenge electoral maps as “racially discriminatory.” “Today’s ruling by this illegitimate Supreme Court strikes a blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to undermine the ability of communities of color all across this country to elect their candidate of choice,” Jeffries said at a Wednesday press conference. President Donald Trump responded on Truth Social, calling Jeffries “a Low...

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Jim VandeHei urged Americans to “sober up” from hyperpartisan excess and exercise “self-restraint” in their political language. Mika Brzezinski agreed: “really good point.” We asked whether Joe Scarborough would follow that advice. It took one day to get the answer. On Thursday’s show, Scarborough skipped the sobering up and went straight for the 151-proof stuff. Reacting to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, he lamented that “a child is allowed to hold that position,” calling him an “immature child” who “doesn’t even understand,” before escalating to “a punk—a little punk.”Turning to President Trump, Scarborough defended calling him “a...

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, has been forced to postpone a scheduled anti-Trump documentary called Imperial Presidency due to yet another leftist allegedly attempting to assassinate President Trump. “[A]n update: My latest @CNN documentary, ‘The Imperial Presidency,’ will air at a later date. We will keep you posted,” CNN’s Fareed Zakaria wrote on X the day after Saturday night’s assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. As someone pointed out on X, “They keep having to delay programming on right-wing fascism because of left-wing violence.” The X post references The Savant, an...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) attacked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for criticizing Democrats for their violent rhetoric after a shooting took place in the vicinity of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel. During a press conference on Monday, Jeffries labeled Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” and accused her of reading “talking points” and being critical of words Democrats had said. “I know you said you stand by your comment, but at the same time you have been a subject of threats as well, so, with respect to this comment about maximum warfare, even if...

Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, penned a social media message in the hours after President Trump was nearly assassinated — again — that called for calmer voices and cooler heads in the political realm; that said, “It’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.” And then he stopped laughing and hit “post” and called 1-800-BUY-BRIK — his speed dial source for pallets of bricks used by Democrat-voting supporters during their various peaceful street protests. Let’s be real. Or, as Obama might say, “Let me be clear.”...

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known. Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers. That is a fairly common theme in the social media posts of leftists, as are complaints that the various people who have tried to kill Trump don't have good enough aim. And,...

Trump’s assassination attempts underscore how rhetoric that casts political opponents as existential threats can move from language to violence. Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump.At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt—this time in full view of the Washington press corps. The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall—and that he might see possible violence outside it. Indeed, protesters ringed...

A brewery in Wisconsin is offering free beer on the day President Trump is successfully killed. Aren't they literally offering gifts or compensation for the murder of a sitting US President? Shouldn't the FBI go speak with them?

The Cougar Pride Center, which describes itself as an independent resource center serving Brigham Young University (BYU) students, hosted an event titled “Provo Pride” on April 11, which featured an LGBTQ pride march through downtown Provo, Utah, followed by a pride festival at Memorial Park. The event featured more than a dozen LGBTQ-themed vendors and a concert with several LGBTQ performers, including drag queen Colette Coins, who self-describes as an “argumentative antithetical dreamgirl” on Instagram. One vendor stand at the festival featured apparent Molotov cocktails for sale alongside a painting of Donald Trump’s severed head being served on a platter,...
