Law enforcement officials in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, provided an update to a case involving a teen boy who, officials claim, communicated with a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda and allegedly purchased materials online in an effort to obtain weapons of mass destruction. During an event on Wednesday morning, First Assistant District Attorney Robert Listenbee said Muhyyee-ud-din Abdul-Rahman, 18, of West Philadelphia, not only had bomb-making materials, that were found in the trash at his home, he had tested bombs in the woods behind his home and had likely considered an attack on Philly's LGBTQ community. ---SNIP--- In an interview with law...

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small town of roughly 4,200 residents, has found itself at the heart of an immigration crisis. Over the past two years, the migrant population has surged by a staggering 2,000%, primarily due to an influx of Haitian immigrants. This massive growth is linked to the Biden administration's expanded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allowed migrants from countries like Haiti to seek refuge in the United States. While intended to provide safety for those fleeing dire circumstances, this policy has placed an immense strain on local resources. The once quiet, blue-collar town is now grappling with a...

A Biden administration migrant welfare program could be handing out in excess of $1 billion in benefits to those crossing the Southern Border. The CHNV program has allowed hundreds of thousands of nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the US. It allows 30,000 migrants to apply for asylum each month and be flown to the US on the taxpayer dollar, as long as they have a sponsor who passes a background check.

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, like Springfield, Ohio, is also experiencing a growing number of problems from a tidal wave of Haitian migrants flooding into their small town. While the media focuses on the woes of Springfield, Ohio, and its recent flood of Haitian migrants putting pressure on the small town, other small towns are experiencing similar problems. One of them is Charleroi, Pennsylvania, nestled on the banks of the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh in the western part of the state. According to the activist group America-2100, the rural town has suffered a 2,000-percent increase in its population of Haitian migrants —...

A small Pennsylvania town is up in arms over a proposal to turn an abandoned Civil War-era school into a shelter for hundreds of migrant families — with residents and lawmakers vowing to put a stop to the “foreign invasion.” News of the plan to turn the former Scotland School for Veterans Children building in Franklin County into a migrant shelter surfaced publicly this week after the owners of the sprawling property recently started making inquiries about its potential usage, local officials said. The Greene Township Board of Supervisors said a representative from USA Up Star, an Indiana-based disaster response...

A one-time Venezuelan prison gang has erupted into a multinational migrant crime syndicate that is ravaging the US — and is the subject of more than 100 police investigations across the nation. Tren de Aragua, a vicious South American gang that sneaked into the US among the millions of migrants who have crossed the border, is peddling drugs, guns and women across the 50 states — from urban centers like New York and Chicago to Florida beaches and once-tranquil Middle America. In Colorado, the gang even got a “green light” to shoot at cops, according to a federal memo. “I...

NYC Just decided to evict every family living in its shelter system. The shelters are at capacity, and the city claims evictions must happen to make room for new arrivals, who will also be evicted after their shelter stay expires...

It looks as though Tren de Aragua intended for the property to be a steady source of future revenue… trafficking and prostituting children, running guns, and extorting residents. Since all eyes have been on Aurora, Colorado and the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang terrorizing the apartment complexes, one of the property lenders hired international law firm Perkins Coie to conduct an investigation into what is really going on, and what these lawyers found is nothing short of heinous. From an article out at The Denver Gazette: Through violence and intimidation, a Venezuelan gang took over the Whispering Pines apartment complex...

Ordinary Americans in Springfield, Ohio, openly describe how elite-directed migration has skewed their economy, destabilized their neighborhoods, and created a two-tier society that favors migrants over Americans.Federal payments to migrants “makes it harder for people like me — or somebody else who doesn’t get [government-]assisted living — to find affordable housing at a decent rate,” one woman told Twitter journalist Tyler Oliveira. She added:Honestly, in my opinion, it’ll be surprised if I don’t get kicked out so they can boost up the rate on this place. They’ll probably fix it, get it where it’s looking better, and boost the rate...

If you do a Google search for 'dogs cats springfield', you'll find page after page of the MSM calling the story false. The closest to something sympathetic to Trump is "Haitian migrants eating pets? Here’s the even more serious story about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio" (link) and that doesn't take the dogs/cats story seriously. You can downplay that all you want, but such search results are what millions of potential voters see. Even if someone manages to find rock solid evidence supporting Trump's claim, it will probably just be a few incidents and it will be downplayed. (The video of...

Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), son of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, got an earful at a recent town hall event as black residents of his district blasted him for his support of the tens of thousands of illegal migrants flooding into the Windy City. During the town hall, the Illinois First District Representative was confronted by a resident on the migrant issue and Jackson made a vain attempt to turn the tables on the man by saying, “Can you help me with the solution you’d like to see me do?” The resident in the audience did not hesitate for a...

Aurora, Colorado, is normally a quiet, nondescript suburb 30 minutes outside Denver. In recent months, however, the city has been at the center of a national scandal. Beginning last year, a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, some of them members of the notorious Tren de Aragua street gang, reportedly had “taken over” a series of apartment buildings in Aurora—and unleashed terror. Last month, Venezuelan migrants were allegedly implicated in an attempted homicide, an arrest of purported gang members, and shocking security footage that showed heavily armed men forcibly entering one of the apartments. In response to the chaos, police mobilized...

The mothers of victims of illegal immigrant crime on Tuesday completely refuted a Democrat congresswoman’s claim that Republicans were “exploiting” them for “political purposes.” The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Tuesday morning, titled “The Biden-Harris Border Crisis: Victim Perspectives,” to examine the disastrous effects of the Biden-Harris regime’s open border policies on American families and communities. Witnesses included Anne Fundner, mother of Weston Fundner, victim of fentanyl poisoning; April Aguirre, a crime victims’ advocate; Patty Morin, mother of Rachel Morin, victim of a criminal illegal alien; Mike Boudreaux, Sheriff, Tulare County, California; Tammy Nobles, mother of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton,...

As Kamala Harris pivots to the political center in her campaign for president, a 2019 questionnaire from a leading civil rights organization spotlights her past support for left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners. In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention. The Harris campaign did not...

The three teens who are accused of kidnapping, murdering and eating a New York town's beloved swan, Fay, for dinner last week were refugees from Myanmar, The Washington Free Beacon reported. The swan and her four babies were kidnapped from Manlius swan pond in Manlius, New York, last Saturday. Eman Hussan, 18, and his two accomplices were charged with felony grand larceny and criminal mischief. Hussan was seen smiling proudly at reporters when police took him into custody. The three criminals are refugees from Myanmar and attend high school in the Syracuse area, Manlius Police Sgt. Ken Hatter told the...

Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country. Where is our border czar?

Remember the “British Invasion?” It occurred in the 1960s (and 1970s) when bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Animals, The Kinks, The Hollies, The Moody Blues, Herman's Hermits, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, ELO, Elton John, Spandau Ballet, The Specials, The Police -- and many others — became wildly successful in the United States. Can you name me a wildly popular British band today? (Okay, other than The Rolling Stones, led by Mick Jagger, aged 81.) Crickets. There is a reason for this, albeit a sad one. Britain is spent. Its society is in...

A shocking Facebook post from a local Springfield community group has sparked alarm after a resident shared a disturbing exchange with her neighbor regarding the safety of pets and local wildlife. The post, shared by a concerned resident, began with a stark warning: “Warning to all about our beloved pets & those around us!!!” The resident recounted a disturbing exchange with her neighbor, who revealed that her daughter’s friend had tragically lost her pet cat. The concerned pet owner had searched tirelessly, checking online lost pet pages, local animal shelters, and asking neighbors if they had seen her missing feline....
