Tucker Qatarlson is currently at the White House where he is attending President Trump’s meeting with oil executives to discuss how to acquire the largest oil reserves in the world in Venezuela. Why is Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson attending when he has spent the last week completely trashing President Trump’s and @SecWar @SecRubio ’s military operation in Venezuela, and falsely claimed that President Trump is about to get us into a New World War and that he only captured Maduro so Trump could spread homosexuality in Venezuela? This is outrageous. Tucker Carlson is a virulent Jew hater and Islamic mouthpiece and...

Oct 11, 2025 Voters are getting disgusted by the Democrat party. We are tired of seeing our once great cities get run to the ground. Our city streets are not safe any more thanks to Democrat governance that fails to prosecute criminals and protect its law-abiding citizens. Democrats abused democracy by weaponizing the justice department against Donald Trump. Democrats are even defending rioting and attacking of federal agents who are trying to keep our cities safe from illegal aliens. If you feel regret from voting for the Democrat party, you don't have to hate your self.

Mister President,Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America.

Could Minnesota break away from the United States due to a violent overthrow of the state government?

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly in the dark about the Trump administration’s plan to invade Venezuela and depose President Nicolas Maduro. Bloomberg reported on Thursday that the White House excluded the nation’s top intelligence from discussions about the planned ouster, which was carried out on Saturday. People familiar with the situation said that Gabbard had previously opposed U.S. intervention in the South American country. “The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela,” Gabbard, then a Democratic member of Congress, tweeted in 2019. “Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We don’t want other countries to choose...

Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state. "Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening. Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Nick Reiner‘s defense attorney, Alan Jackson, told a court Wednesday that he is withdrawing from the double murder case. Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, appeared in court for an arraignment. A deputy public defender, Kimberly Greene, took over his defense. Reiner spoke only once, agreeing to postpone his arraignment to Feb. 23. “Yeah, I agree,” he said. Outside court, Jackson said he was not ethically permitted to explain the full reasons for his departure from the case, but attributed it to “circumstances beyond our control, and more importantly, circumstances beyond Nick’s control.” “My...

Why is the mainstream media ignoring this particular video from this particular angle of the shooting of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minnesota?

Iranian protesters intensified nationwide demonstrations over the past 24 hours, directly appealing to President Donald Trump while chanting anti-regime slogans. Footage published Wednesday showed a protester in Tehran symbolically renaming a street after Trump, while other videos captured handwritten appeals reading, "Don’t let them kill us," Iran International reported. Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, posted the video on X stating, "Since Trump's comments about the Iran protests, I've seen numbers videos of Iranian protesters either thanking him or, in this case, renaming streets after the US president." The appeals came as demonstrators faced a widening security...
