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,...

Arab racism: Dictator Chavez, backed by Lebanese Arabs living in Venezuela - his political foe Radonski target for anti Semitism

he Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency outsourced its "censorship operation" to a nonprofit it funded following a First Amendment lawsuit by Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general, "implicitly admitting that its censorship activities are unconstitutional," according to an interim staff report by House Judiciary Committee Republicans shared with Just the News. CISA also wanted to use the Center for Internet Security, which operates the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) and Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC), as its "mouthpiece" to obfuscate its own role in censorship, the report says. It cites spring 2022...

The United States government launched a new media bias-tracking website on Friday, aimed at "exposing" outlets and journalists whose work is deemed "false and misleading" by the White House, placing them in an "Offender Hall of Shame." A "media offender of the week" section is centrally featured on the website, displaying multiple well-known mainstream United States media outlets accused of misrepresenting and exaggerating "President Trump’s Calls for Democrat Accountability." Categorized as an offense of "misrepresentation" and "omission of context," the website details the outlets and reporters accused of the claim, elaborating on "the offense," the White House-designated "truth," and "key...

Feminists in the ’60s and ’70s had a slogan that sought to politicize the household: The personal is political. The rallying cry was meant to challenge traditional family values and the expectation that women should be caring wives and mothers who looked after the home. Breaking free from the “prison” of the nuclear family was described as “liberating” for American women. So-called “student activists” and “black liberation” groups adopted the argument for their own purposes, and protest movements sought out ways to invade Americans’ private spaces. The idea was to make people feel uncomfortable so that they were forced to...

I just stumbled across this. Apparently Trey Yesavage follows all the right people on social media from our side (Charlie Kirk, Trump, etc) but of course the left has found this out and are now throwing him shade or whatever. Honestly what this kid did in game 5 was quite amazing but as usual the left brings their "joy" to any occasion and well you know. This is a 13 minute clip of a podcast on YouTube showing the grisly details. The second part talks about changing the lyrics of the Canadian anthem.

Homeowners in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada are being told to attend a city meeting next week because apparently their property titles might not mean what they thought they did. They may no longer own their own property after a court ruling. The meeting, set for October 28, follows a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling that gave the Cowichan Tribes Aboriginal title to about 7.5 square kilometres of land on Lulu Island, an area that includes private homes, farms, golf courses, and even port facilities. The August 7 decision said the Nation had exclusive occupation of the land before 1846, meaning...

A far-left anarchist website has published a seven-step tactical guide to “stop ICE” and “create no-go zones for federal forces.” The website, CrimethInc., is a shadowy, anonymous, anarchist collective born in the 1990s punk scene, which pushes an anti-capitalist, anti-cop, and anti-American agenda. The website glorifies “direct action,” riots, looting, shoplifting, and black bloc tactics. On Friday, CrimethInc. posted a guide on how to stop ICE apprehensions of illegal aliens. The anarchist group is encouraging the formation of “tight-knit resistance groups” to map ICE’s infrastructure, publicize its vulnerabilities, and impose “consequences” on communities cooperating with federal agents. They advocate setting...

Family members of law enforcement officers are facing threats from individuals affiliated with the far-left extremist group Antifa, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an Oct. 10 X post.“Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement. We will hunt these sickos down and put them behind bars,” the post said. “In Texas, the spouse of an ICE officer received a voicemail filled with violent threats.”The agency uploaded an audio clip of the threat received by the spouse, in which a woman can be heard using expletives against the wife of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)...

Authorities in California charged a 29-year-old man with "malicious destruction' for allegedly starting a deadly fire that erupted into the most destructive blaze in Los Angeles history and destroyed much of the wealthy Pacific Palisades neighborhood, officials announced Wednesday. Federal law enforcement officials accused 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht of lighting a fire on New Year’s Day that was initially extinguished by fire crews, but continued to smolder underground before reigniting during high winds, acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said during a news conference. Rinderknecht was arrested Tuesday in Florida, where he moved after the fire, and is due to appear in...

A 41-year-old man was arrested on Sunday outside the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C., on charges of possessing a Molotov cocktail and making threats to kidnap or injure people, according to police. The incident comes one week after a man rammed his pickup truck into the front of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and opened fire with an assault rifle, killing four worshipers and injuring eight others. The suspect was killed in a shootout with police after he set the chapel on fire, burning it to the ground, authorities...

It's been a minute, so why not have a laugh at the pathetic lefty government in New Zealand? Kash Patel, the FBI director, traveled to New Zealand to open a security office in Wellington. At this event, he gifted security officials some 3D-printed replica handguns which were completely inoperable. Essentially a decorative piece. The New Zealand officials had to destroy the fake guns because even fake guns are banned in New Zealand. From Newsweek: During a series of meetings with New Zealand's top security officials on July 31, FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly presented three 3D-printed replica pistols mounted on...

Left-wing terror attacks are on track to reach record highs this year — as Democrats have been accused of ramping up their harmful rhetoric in their opposition to the Trump administration, a disturbing new study has found. Violent plots planned or perpetrated by the far left in the US, as a percentage of all terrorist attacks and plots, hit a record high in the first half of 2025, and are on pace to reach a three-decade high, according to a study from the Center for Strategic & International Studies. Through July 4, 2025 — thus excluding the assassination of Charlie...

The partially taxpayer-funded Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert is set to shut down in 2026 due to inefficiency in generating solar energy, according to the New York Post. The $2.2 billion plant, which features three 459-foot towers, was greenlit in 2010 and completed in 2014. According to the New York Post the closure stems from the site being “outpaced by solar photovoltaic technology” and proving both inefficient and costly. The shutter of the site comes more than a decade ahead of its original 2039 end date, according to the Associated Press. Speculation about Ivanpah’s early closure began...

Jury found him guilty of all charges. FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The jury weighing the fate of the man accused of attempting to gun down Donald Trump on a Florida golf course last year has reached a verdict. Jury deliberations got underway Tuesday after Ryan Wesley Routh capped his two-week trial, during which he served as his own attorney, by delivering a brief and disjointed closing argument during which he tried to argue that there was no crime because he never fired a shot at Trump. But just 12 minutes in his monologue, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon interrupted Routh...
