**SNIP** A swarm of squatters have shacked up inside the celebrity chef’s $16.1 million pub — using Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances to barricade themselves inside, according to a report. **SNIP** One person was seen barefoot and sprawled across on a black leather sofa inside the restaurant, with their personal belongings and debris, including empty wine bottles, strewn across the floor. **SNIP** “The pub was temporarily closed while he was finalizing a new lease, and during this handover period, a gang of professional squatters somehow bypassed all the security and CCTV, and got themselves in. “They’ve now boarded themselves in the...

During an interview with CNN aired on Friday’s broadcast of “NewsNight,” Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) responded to a question on reports that President Joe Biden is considering stricter executive action on the border such as potentially preventing people who have crossed the border illegally from seeking asylum in the U.S. by saying that while she does wish Congress would have passed the Senate bill and administrations of both parties have failed to act on the border, her state needs some action from the Biden administration on the border to bring about “sanity and an end to the lawlessness at...

We live in an environment of complete and utter lawlessness. When predators boldly roam the streets without fear but good people are literally afraid to leave their own homes, that is clearly a sign that our societal collapse has reached a very advanced stage. Even in the rare instances when they are actually caught and convicted, our system will still often allow violent criminals to go free. For example, a woman in California that was convicted of stabbing her boyfriend more than 100 times was given a sentence that didn’t include even a single day in prison… The family of...

On Friday, the Biden administration announced they were canceling the loans of another 74,000 student loan borrowers, hiking the total number of people who have gotten their debt canceled to over 3.7 million Americans. The Biden administration has been ignoring the Supreme Court, which struck down Biden’s student loan relief plan last June, because it had not been approved by Congress. The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision resulted from the six conservative justices voting to strike down the plan while the three leftist justices opposed them. The Biden administration had cited the 2003 Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act (HEROES...

A mob of over 100 looters purposefully crashed a Kia into a small Compton bakery before they flooded in and ransacked the store during a night of rampage on the streets earlier this week. The thieves had gathered in the area for an illegal street takeover around 3 a.m. Tuesday before making the mile-long trek to Ruben’s Bakery & Mexican Food. When they got to the locked store, a white Kia emerged and backed into the front doors, clearing an entryway for the crowd of pillagers to get to their loot.

California prosecutors have charged a woman with intentionally hitting a 60-year-old woman with her car after accusing her of stealing a package from her home. The incident took place on December 8, and the unidentified victim, who suffered major injuries, died on December 23. Dene Blakely, 39, was initially charged with assault with a deadly weapon and later attempted murder. The charge was upgraded to murder after the victim’s death. The San Pablo Police Department said they were called to the scene and learned that Blakely had rammed the victim after an altercation over a stolen package. The altercation escalated,...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) it will sue Texas if he enforces a new state law that allows for the prosecution and deportation of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico, according to a letter obtained by The Hill. Abbott signed the legislation earlier this month, citing the increased number of migrant encounters at the U.S. southern border. The law, set to take effect March 5, allows any Texas law enforcement officer to arrest those suspected of illegal entry into the country. Once arrested, migrants must either agree to a judge’s order to leave the...

By not punishing shoplifters, looters, rioters, and other criminals, Democrat cities have turned many of their neighborhoods into food deserts.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has decided Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s 2024 Republican primary ballot.

PORTLAND, Maine — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences. While Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020, so having him off the ballot there should he emerge as the Republican general election candidate could have outsized implications in a race that is expected to be narrowly decided.

“If we’re to preserve the Republic, it’s going to require Christians in this country to once again understand the times and know what to do,” Perkins stated.He continued, “And it’s not to shrink back in silence. It’s not to be intimidated. It’s not to feel threatened. It’s not even to be angry. It is to step forward with clarity and with boldness. We’ve got a Constitution. We have truth. We know what it is. We have to stand on it. We have to defend it. By no means should we be quiet in this hour. And what is happening to...

Far-left Axios is gushing over a new study that blames climate change for people fleeing Democrat-run cities like the “metro areas of Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Washington, D.C. (specifically, Alexandria, Va.).” “Climate migration is already taking place within American communities, new data finds, as people flee flood-prone areas, and create ‘climate abandonment’ zones,” writes an unquestioning Axios. “The study constitutes the latest warning sign of the effects of climate change,” Axios continues without skepticism. “Population shifts, and a larger reckoning for real estate, are only expected to worsen as global average surface temperatures rise.” But then the premise of the study...

CBP reported more than 9,400 migrant encounters 'in a span of 24 hours' - 7,700 of whom were apprehended by Border Patrol agents In the letter, Ciscomani - a 41-year-old who was born in Mexico - called on Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to fix the 'dire situation'. ...The situation is far past a breaking point and those on the frontlines of this crisis are in need of immediate support,' he added, citing the 3,000 encounters seen at the Tuscon Center on Thursday.

Two men were lynched in the West Bank on Friday after being accused of collaborating with Israel. The alleged "spies" were murdered in the street while others filmed the carnage.

That this happened in the ostensibly more moderate West Bank says everything about the possibility of a "two-state solution,"...

MOODY BIBLE VIDEO ON HISTORY’S Fallen City’s and Nations The city is Satan's demonic concentration camps where He through his godless and lawless minions seek to destroy, indoctrinate and corrupt the nations (Eph. 2:1-2). History testifies to this reality! As we see our cities today here in America super abounding in growing EXPONENTIAL lawlessness and godlessness we know that it cannot be too long for our nation. The City today in America is more and more dictating demonic godless ideology to the states and is supplying abundantly the votes needed to over ride the majority of the voters of their...

A Time of LawlessnessVery soon the kinetic aspect of WWIII will kick off and the international entanglements of the Biden Administration will become obviously treasonous. It might not even take the actual entry of the war to mark it. As soon as the Israeli ground attack starts, the United States will come apart from within by the recently demonstrated Palestinian forces already here, brought in over the past two years of open borders. If not them, some other hostile forces. The U.S. is weak in every way one wants to measure it, except in its domestic fighting forces that are...

Donald Trump said that if he were president again the people savagely looting stores would be shot on-site.It comes amid spiking crime in U.S. cities and claims of lax prosecutors – as well as the lowered penalties for shop-lifters that have led to a series of viral incidents in recent years.'We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft,' Trump said during remarks at the California GOP's fall convention in Anaheim on Friday.
