Taxpayers are yet again helping fund disruptive activism in Los Angeles — this time the radicals planning to chaos across the city and county for Saturday’s “No Kings” protests, which organizers claim will be the biggest yet. One the leading groups participating in the event is the Liberty Hill Foundation, a social justice nonprofit that receives $14 million in Los Angeles city funding for tenant outreach and housing programs. Public filings show the group has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the ACLU of Southern California, raising further questions about taxpayer-supported organizations being used for radical political advocacy.

For decades, Madison has worn its reputation for protest as a civic badge — from Vietnam War demonstrations to the Act 10 Capitol occupation in 2011. That tradition is surging again, with another mass protest planned for Saturday Since President Donald Trump took office for a second term last year, Madison police say protests have grown more frequent, drawing crowds to the Capitol, campus and city streets. In response, the Madison Police Department has begun holding a series of community conversations. This effort, department leaders said, is to explain how officers balance public safety with protecting the right to demonstrate...

The NYPD and FBI are investigating the improvised explosive device recovered from outside Gracie Mansion during Saturday's protests as a potential act of terrorism in part because one of the two suspects in custody directly reference ISIS in statements to law enforcement, multiple people familiar with the matter said. The device was one of two ignited during dueling protests outside of the official residence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The law enforcement investigation continued into Sunday afternoon, when the NYPD Bomb Squad dispatched a robot several blocks away from the protest scene to search a car...

Six people are in custody after two homemade explosive devices were tossed outside Gracie Mansion Saturday during competing anti- and pro-Muslim protests, causing a panic. Dozens of demonstrators and counter-protesters fled as smoke started to billow from a device which appeared to have a lit fuse and was wrapped in duct tape.

Those devices were glass jars wrapped in electrical tape containing bolts, screws, and nuts and featuring a hobby fuse “that could be lit,” according...

Sen. Tim Sheehy sprang into action Wednesday, helping law enforcement officers subdue an “unhinged protestor” who began “fighting” at a hearing at the US Capitol Building, the Montana Republican explained. Dramatic video of the incident shows the protester — later identified as Green Party Senate candidate Brian McGinnis — resisting multiple Capitol Police officers trying to remove him from a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, is seen jumping into the scrum and trying to yank the 44-year-old McGinnis, who was wearing a US Marine Corps uniform, out of the room. The situation only calmed down...

College students protested at several universities in Tehran, Iran International reported. At Amirkabir University, students blocked one of the nearby streets. Meanwhile, at Sharif University, students held a protest ceremony in memory of those killed in the previous wave of demonstrations. The protesters chanted, “Death to Khamenei!"

Iranian police officers are gang-raping imprisoned female protesters and then cutting out their uteruses to cover up the horrific torture – before shipping their lifeless bodies home to their families, according to a shocking new report. Prisoners suspected of participating in the nationwide anti-regime demonstrations that shook the nation last month are being terrorized, raped, and slaughtered daily by groups of militant police officers behind bars, an Iranian source told News Nation. “I am most worried about the people who got arrested,” the source, who witnessed the massacre of protesters, said. “They are raping men and women in jail. They...

High schoolers in numerous blue cities around the country have regularly been playing hooky, preferring to attend anti-ICE protests rather than focus on their education. Not surprisingly, the data show that many of these so-called learning institutions have disastrous academic records.The kids don’t need to worry about consequences, though — all too often, the teachers and administrators are egging them on and skipping school themselves to join in the fun.Our teachers' unions should be so proud.On Friday, it was Los Angeles that got hit as hundreds of students left campus and headed downtown to create a little mayhem:What began as...

With former intelligence officials warning of 1,000 Chinese spies for every ten from the West, reports of 1,200 Chinese spies embedded in Australia, and Chinese spies being “everywhere” in the U.K., China is very busy trying to push its will and policies on the world—which brings me to Minnesota.AdvertisementIf the agitators in Minnesota are merely protesting removal of U.S. criminal illegal aliens, doesn’t it seem odd that BreakThrough News, a “nonprofit” propaganda arm of the People’s Forum, would circulate a video showing the struggle between federal agents and an armed Alex Pretti, alongside a call to support the People’s Republic...

An email obtained by Fox News Digital from the Inter Faculty Organization (IFO), the union representing faculty at the seven Minnesota State universities, is urging members to participate in an economic "blackout" to protest the federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis this month. "The recent escalation of federal immigration enforcement presence under ‘Operation Metro Surge’ and the tragic killing of Minneapolis resident Renee Good have created an environment of fear and instability that impacts us all, but you and your colleagues can come together to demand an end to ICE presence in our state," the email from the IFO states....

Plans to house 70 asylum seekers next to a medical centre in the heart of a Welsh village have sparked uproar. Police officers kept watch and patrolled Rhosllanerchrugog, near Wrexham, today as around 500 locals queued for the packed public meeting. In the end so many people arrived that the event had to be held outdoors. Many say the former sheltered housing should instead be used by the under-pressure NHS to relieve bed-blocking in hospitals. They also fear that if the proposal goes ahead, it could house single men about whose backgrounds they know nothing, leaving them feeling unsafe in...

If you recall, in 2022, a convoy of Canadian truckers blocked traffic in Ottawa to protest the ongoing Covid mandates of the totalitarian Canadian government: Mandates that were crushing their homes, families, and finances. The Canadian government, led by former PM Justin Trudeau, responded with force, declaring the assembly dangerous. Here were a few of the "terrorizing" scenes from the truckers that probably scared Trudeau senseless. Faced with cheerful singing and inflatable bouncy houses, Trudeau had no choice. He invoked emergency powers to freeze the bank accounts of the truckers, ensuring they couldn't pay their bills or feed their families....
