What's happening at Delaney Hall in Newark is atrocious. Especially atrocious is the government's response. It's freaking impotent and it only encourages the vermin. Protests at Delaney Hall began around May 22. The violence and rioting have only increased since then. Mikie Sherrill, the idiot Governor, blamed ICE, not the protesters, for the violence immediately. "My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe – and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety. We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will...

Millions of Americans will spend Memorial Day weekend honoring those who died while serving in the US military — but California congressional candidate Mai Vang likely will not be one of them. The lefty Sacramento city councilmember has boasted about refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance at public meetings and ceremonies — and routinely turned her back on the flag. Vang, who is attempting to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in the June primary election, is currently polling neck-and-neck with the incumbent and slightly ahead of Republican Zachariah Wooden. But the potential of an anti-American congressmember isn’t sitting...

We’ve seen plenty of violent anti-ICE action against the agency in Trump’s second term in office, but this episode goes right at or near the top of the “This Is Nuts" list.It happened in Chicago on Oct. 4, 2025, during an enforcement mission targeting criminal illegal aliens — "Operation Midway Blitz” — on the city's Southwest Side.That’s when Diego Emmanuel Reyes, 21, decided not to throw rocks, not to chant obscenities, but to intentionally ram his SUV into an agent’s vehicle. Newly released video shows that after striking the truck, the driver appears to accelerate, not slow down. Talk about...

Friday is May Day, the day radical leftists come out and scream about the evils of capitalism. Yet it's always a funny thing when they do that; Why are they still living here, rather than fleeing to a Communist country, if they hate capitalism so much? Of course, they don't because they're hoping to push our country further left. Now, you had a conglomeration of them out in D.C. for all the current causes: May Day, anti-Iran military action, and anti-ICE. While they were in for a day of chanting the same things robotically, President Donald Trump was off to...
