2:41 California Sen. Adam Schiff (D), who served on the January 6 Committee accusing others of insurrection, backed an insurrection Saturday against federal law enforcement arresting illegal aliens in Los Angeles. Riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers took place Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles, with masked rioters using violence against federal officials and vandalism against federal buildings. President Trump decided to federalize 2,000 California National Guard soldiers, over the objections of Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who refused to do much to stop the violence and defended the “immigrants.” Schiff weighed in on X, denouncing the Trump administration...

CNN — Russia claimed Sunday that its forces are for the first time pushing into the central Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk, an area it has been trying to reach for months, in a move that could create new problems for Kyiv’s much-stretched forces. Subunits from the Russian military’s 90th tank division reached the border of Dnipropetrovsk with the Donetsk region, large parts of which are already under Russian occupation, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. After this, they continued into Dnipropetrovsk, the defense ministry claimed.

These days, it seems like every automaker and its rivals have some sort of electric car out on the market. Years ago, Elon Musk and Tesla were one of only a handful of manufacturers on the block producing electric vehicles, but today’s EVs come from a smattering of brands that include familiar mainstream names like Ford, Chevrolet, and even Hyundai and Kia. However, while there are more choices in the American EV market than ever before, a new customer survey conducted by the American Automobile Association reveals that Americans may not be as interested in electric cars as they think....

Federal officials are sounding the alarm after violent mobs confronted ICE agents in Los Angeles, blaming what they call “reckless and dangerous” rhetoric from Democrat leaders for fueling the chaos.

Over 7,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers heading into the weekend. They slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property. Multiple people were detained in LA by immigration agents following the violent protests. Demonstrators also...

Filthy street Marxists are currently battling ICE agents in Los Angeles as they conduct mass arrests of illegal aliens around the city. Five years ago, the weak, easily controlled apparatchiks were burning the nation's big, blue toilet cities in honor of saintly George Floyd. Today, they fight over the "rights" of illegal immigrants to remain in our country, where many are living on taxpayer dollars. As expected, some of the usual suspects have shown up. Check out the yobbo with the Palestinian flag. Why would someone bring a Palestinian flag to a riot over illegal immigrants? Because this riot isn't...
