Brock McNerney, 72, and Moisette McNerney, 69, of the 1200 block of East Clarendon Avenue in Arlington Heights, were taken into custody on Monday, the village police department announced.

The pair was identified as the individuals responsible for vandalizing the Republicans of Wheeling Township office at 909 East Rand Road late on January 25, Arlington Heights PD said. Video showed two people using markers to write obscenities and draw symbols on the office windows at approximately 10:51 p.m. Arlington Heights Police Chief Nicholas Pecora said the...

😳Applause line at protest in Philly: "For every US soldier who comes back in casket, we cheer!" Video at link.

We lost a few men. That IS combat. The Iranians have lost thousands and are STILL taunting us. We lose a very SMALL percentage and the communists want us to abandon the conflict. LOOK at the enemy within's tactics: Trying to discourage Americans from necessary conflicts in a needed war in which we must prevail. The leftists here who violently protest ICE lost two "foot soldiers" and more injured and I DO NOT HEAR THE MEDIA, DEMOCRATS OR ANY OF THAT SIDE SECOND-GUESSING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE KILLED OR SUGGESTING THEY SHOULD STOP!!! They are TOTALLY committed to what they...

Although the legal and clinical definitions may differ, popular conception defines “insanity” as repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. By that definition, leftist voters in New York City, California, and elsewhere recertified themselves as insane last week. Year after year, election after election, voters in “blue” cities and states follow the same recipe that has brought self-imposed economic and demographic decay for decades: bigger government, higher taxes, more regulation, unsustainable benefits, and sprawling public-sector obligations. They keep repeating their behavior, even as jobs evaporate, families leave, and businesses take investment elsewhere. Decades of left-leaning politicians and public policies...

As the joint American-Israeli military campaign in Iran continues, President Trump’s coalition is starting to exhibit some cracks. The war in Iran has emerged as a proxy battle over a broader, long-simmering conflict within the right about Israel. And the fight over Israel is, in some important ways, a proxy battle about Jews in general. Big picture, what we’re seeing now is that the traditional divisions on the right between paleoconservatives and neoconservatives, between hawks and doves, are being reshaped into a battle over Israel specifically. It’s a very difficult subject; this issue has become highly emotional and personal for...

A left-wing activist group is teaching liberals in Washington, D.C., and "across the United States" how to increase their chances of serving as jurors on cases brought by the Trump Department of Justice so they can undermine its chances of securing convictions, training materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. Freedom Trainers, whose fiscal sponsor is the George Soros-funded group Community Change, is working to make "jury nullification"—the practice of voting against a conviction even if the defendant broke the law—a go-to legal weapon for the Left. Its sessions and training materials, reviewed by the Free Beacon, show how...

Timothée Chalamet is under fire this week and losing traction in the best actor Oscar race for saying just about the most obvious thing in the world: Nobody cares about ballet or opera in 2026. Here is the exact quote from the "Dune" and "Marty Supreme" star during a recent CNN town hall: "I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.' All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there." The backlash was swift and severe. According...

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has never been one to show good judgement. When he’s not getting caught conducting “personal business” on a staff Zoom call, he’s accidentally admitting that there’s an ongoing leftist-led judicial coup designed to stymie President Trump’s agenda. The serial self-pleasurer let the proverbial cat out of the bag in his Monday opinion column for The New York Times. Titled, “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” the article purports to roll out a blueprint for countering conservative appointments of originalist judges to the bench but inadvertently discloses the existence of leftists’ efforts...

Peace officers, military personnel and prosecutors in recent years have faced a growing threat from the practice known as “doxxing” in which their personal, private information is obtained, sometimes through legal means and sometimes illegally, and spread online via a variety of social media. In most cases the information posted online has included home addresses, obviously putting law enforcement and military personnel, and their families, at great risk.Some states, particularly Alabama, have moved to protect America’s heroes with legislation outlawing the practice and imposing penalties on those who participate in the practice.There is also a federal statute to protect federal...

When President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Robert Garson, floated the idea of asylum for Britain’s Jews last month, saying “the UK is no longer a safe place for Jews,” a natural response was to focus on the likelihood of more terrorist attacks against Jews by radical Muslims. This concern is warranted, as we were reminded last week after the conviction of two men for plotting to murder hundreds of Jews in an Islamic State-inspired attack in Manchester. Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth, in a segment on the convictions, echoed Garson’s words, saying that the rise of antisemitism in the UK is...

Look to the moral foundations formed from the beginning.“They are programmed…,” Soviet defector and ex-KGB man Yuri Bezmenov warned decades ago about the ideologues we call “leftists.” “You cannot change their mind…. You are stuck with them.” It’s common for people to say today when contrasting our two major ideological groups, “Conservatives think leftists are misguided; leftists think conservatives are evil.” I, though, am different. I know leftists are evil. That is, practically speaking. Theologically speaking, I’m not judging their souls or inborn nature. Putting it plainly, however, and alluding to the reality that leftists have embraced evil, I will...

While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where leftist agitators screamed obscenities and threatened young Christian families as they left Sunday services. At roughly the same time on Sunday when the hoard of disrupters — including Don Lemon — burst into a worship service in St. Paul, agitators in D.C. were screaming “F-ck off, Nazi scum” at moms and kids as they left Christ Church on Pennsylvania Avenue. Christ Church in D.C. is an offshoot of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which...

When I grew up, we would never dare scream at, push, or even touch a police officer. We sure as hell would never throw things at a cop car. We would never refuse to comply with their orders or interfere with an arrest. It's different today. A destructive anti-ICE mob called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be hanged and declared that the only “good” immigration agent is a “dead one” as they turned Minneapolis into an apocalyptic wasteland overnight. Dystopian photos show a car with smashed-in windows in the middle of the debris-filled block, covered with threatening messages...

What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining. AlphaNews obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded. Group chat alert allegedly triggered protest Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38thStreet and Grand AvenueSouth, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat—received a message from a group...

Haaretz analyst ‘took Qatari cash’ in expanding Qatargate scandal. Allegations centre on claims that Netanyahu’s aides accepted Qatari money to promote favourable coverage of Doha while Qatar led negotiations between Israel and Hamas By Jewish News Reporter. 12 January 2026.

Toronto: Church provides space for event honoring “Palestinian” terrorist responsible for jihad massacre JUL 7, 2019 11:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is ostensibly a Communist organization, but it is wholly aligned with the jihad force. Ghassan Kanafani was responsible for the murder of 17 Christians, as well as eight Israelis, but that doesn’t matter to the Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church. Being woke is ultimately a suicidal act, but at least the members of Trinity-St. Paul’s can congratulate themselves that they were never “racist” when their own time comes and their jihadi friends...

A new report claims that two of five people arrested in connection with what the FBI said was a plot to unleash a wave of terrorist bombings in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve are transgender. The FBI said that the people arrested were a splinter group of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, which federal officials said has a pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government ideology, according to USA Today. The suspects were part of a Signal group chat calling itself “Order of the Black Lotus.”

The FBI claims to have thwarted a terrorist plot to carry out coordinated bombings in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, arresting five members of a pro-Palestinian extremist group accused of planning attacks in the City of Angels, The Post has learned. The “credible” threat came from radical members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), according to a law enforcement source. Four were collared in Lucerne Valley in the Mojave Desert, where the extremists allegedly were testing improvised explosives, while a fifth was apprehended in New Orleans. “After an intense investigation, the Department of Justice, working with our FBI,...

The Trump administration on Monday unveiled a new initiative dubbed the “U.S. Tech Force,” comprising about 1,000 engineers and other specialists who will work on artificial intelligence infrastructure and other technology projects throughout the federal government. Participants will commit to a two-year employment program working with teams that report directly to agency leaders in “collaboration with leading technology companies,” according to an official government website. Those “private sector partners” include Amazon Web Services , Apple , Google Public Sector, Dell Technologies , Microsoft , Nvidia , OpenAI, Oracle , Palantir , Salesforce and numerous others, the website says. The Tech...
