Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and his online arch-nemesis was quick to take credit. Laura Loomer boasted that she was the first to claim Yiannopoulos was in the country illegally just moments after news broke of his detention in New Orleans, Louisiana. The British-born’s immigration status has recently fallen under scrutiny by Loomer and other loyalists after Yiannopoulos began criticizing President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Yiannopoulos entered the country legally on May 14, 2019, but that he “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our...

The controversy began after Gabbard posted a verse from the Bible on X writing: "But my eyes are toward you, oh God, my Lord, in you I seek refuge." - Psalm 141:8 Loomer reacted to the post and questioned Tulsi's religion in an online rant: "It’s really interesting how @TulsiGabbard pretends to be a Christian. She did this at Charlie Kirk’s memorial too, if you recall. Tulsi is a lifelong Hindu. Yet nobody seems to know that. She should embrace it."

Last Monday's Loomer tried to convince the President that Tulsi Gabbard was about to resign- in an effort to get Trump to move preemptively to fire her. The whole thing was a hoax. Fortunately, I acted in time. When I called Loomer out on her lie is when she became unhinged Roger Stone @RogerJStoneJr

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, and her daughter, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, were arrested by ICE Friday and had their green cards revoked for ties to the Iranian regime.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fully intends to remain in her position despite rumors that she is planning to resign from President Donald Trump's administration in protest of the Iran war. Right-wing activist Laura Loomer announced on social media Thursday evening that Gabbard was preparing to resign, citing a member of the director's political staff as a source. She advocated that President Trump fire Gabbard before she could resign. But a senior administration official told the Daily Mail that Loomer’s claim was ‘total bull****.’ A spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence also pushed back against the online rumors....

It was an honor to be recognized by President Trump at the White House Christmas Party. It is an even bigger honor that the President of the United States @POTUS just scooped me on publicly announcing my own engagement to the world from the White House! 💍 I’m very excited to be getting married, and I am thrilled that the greatest President ever approves of the greatest man in my life. ❤️ Thank you, President Trump!

Rob Reiner was a loser. Naturally, his son was also a loser, and he got addicted to drugs and allegedly murdered his parents. Looks like Rob should’ve spent more time parenting & less time spreading Russia conspiracy hoaxes about President Trump. I stand with President Trump.

Possible mass deportation of 200,000 Afghans living in America is now being discussed at the White House 🚨 Department of War @DeptofWar Senior Advisor Stuart Scheller @stuartscheller confirmed to me that the 76,000 Afghan refugees admitted during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan under the Biden regime is a massive undercount, revealing that the true number of unvetted individuals is likely significantly higher…closer to 200,000. Scheller acknowledged that the upcoming report will expose the leadership decisions of past administrations that allowed Islamic enemy combatants to enter our country. Surely, these failures are directly linked to the recent murder of National Guard...

The Washington Post @washingtonpost and Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe used to occupy this desk inside the Pentagon Press room. Now it’s mine!

The best way to support Israel while being 100% America First is for Israel to be sovereign and to call for an end to all US aid to Israel. A country with financial handcuffs cannot make decisions to preserve itself and ensure its survival if their funding is dependent on taking orders. A sovereign Israel that never takes aid from the US can respond to its hostile Islamic neighbors anyway it sees fit.The beauty of that is that it’s no longer going to be America’s concern.When we eventually cut off all aid to Israel, we will also be able to...

Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes is not qualified to practice as a lawyer in the state of North Carolina, according to the state's database of registered lawyers. The revelation comes after it was reported that Stokes released Decarlos Brown on cashless bail after his last brush with the law before he was charged with stabbing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska to death in August. When Stoke's name is entered into the North Carolina State Bar lawyer look-up tool, an error is presented, indicating the judge, although overseeing a magistrate court, does not have the ability to practice law as a lawyer professionally in...

A Brief History of Tucker Carlson – From Conservative Star to Qatar’s Mouthpiece Following the passing of conservative legend Rush Limbaugh and the fall of Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson emerged as a leading voice on the American right. His popularity soared during the COVID-19 pandemic, largely due to his anti-establishment rhetoric and combative style. For a time, he filled a vacuum in conservative media, channeling public frustration into high ratings for Fox News. However, Carlson’s trajectory shifted in 2023 when he was abruptly ousted from Fox News. The dismissal followed a series of controversies—including a high-profile lawsuit by a former...

..... "All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days," the State Department announced on X.
