Federal officials are urging Democrat politicians to tone down "dangerous" rhetoric about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, after violent protests and disorderly demonstrations broke out over the weekend in Los Angeles and New York City. Multiple people were detained by immigration agents on Friday as seven locations in Los Angeles were raided. In response, violent protests broke out across the county, including an attempted break into the Roybal Federal Building. Hours later, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared unlawful assembly and issued a city-wide tactical alert. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement on Saturday noting...

Oversight Chairman James Comer, for the first time told Lou Dobbs on Thursday that he believes Joe Biden himself is the ‘ringleader’ of the crime family. Comer is also looking at RICO charges against the Biden Crime family – real RICO charges not the fake ones like the charges Fani Willis threw at President Trump. Oversight Chairman James Comer: This is an investigation of Joe Biden and it’s getting closer and closer to Joe every day. I mean, I could make the argument that there’s already enough evidence to point to Joe being the ringleader of this, not just knowing,...

My headline above paraphrases somewhat the insane position of Congressman Dan Goldman (D-New York), but so slightly that I think I can be forgiven. In a tweet posted earlier this week, Goldman’s reaction to a new federal task force aimed at investigating and catching the terrorists who have been firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla cars was as follows: This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to “crack down” on adversaries of Musk’s. Where are the...

Cybertrucks set on fire. Bomb threats at Tesla showrooms. Vandalism at charging stations. A wave of violent protests targeting Tesla facilities has erupted across the country in recent weeks over Elon Musk’s controversial role within the Trump Administration, with demonstrators looking to bankrupt the company and ultimately force Musk out of his government position. On Saturday, March 29, the anti-Musk movement is preparing for what could be its largest mobilization yet. The decentralized group Tesla Takedown has called for peaceful protests targeting more than 500 locations worldwide in what organizers describe as a stand against its billionaire CEO’s involvement with...

Leftist ice cream company Ben and Jerry's is working to organize a direct action "against fascism" to oppose President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. The "People's March" will take place on January 18 in Washington, DC, as well as other locations across the country. The ice cream shop sent a newsletter encouraging customers to protest and "dissent." "Power to the people! On January 18, we're joining the People's March in Washington, DC (and beyond!) to send an urgent message to the incoming administration: You work for the people, and we're here to hold you accountable," Ben and Jerry's wrote. "Together, we will...

The long-time husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin is starting the New Year under a cloud after being accused of federal insurance fraud. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Hostin is among nearly 200 defendants named in one of the largest RICO cases ever filed in New York. He and many of the others are accused or getting kickbacks by performing surgery and fraudulently billing a company that insures taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers. ‘Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries,’ the lawsuit, filed on December 17, claims. The insurance firm American Transit...

President-elect Donald Trump sued the Des Moines Register and J. Ann Selzer for “brazen election interference” on Monday after the vaunted pollster’s wildly inaccurate prediction three days before the 2024 election that Vice President Kamala Harris would trounce her Republican opponent in Iowa. Trump’s lawyers filed the suit seeking damages in state district court in Polk County, Iowa, claiming Selzer and the Des Moines-based outlet interfered in the election “in favor of” the Democratic nominee “through use of a leaked and manipulated” poll. The Nov. 2 survey showed Trump, 78, lagging behind Harris, 60, by three percentage points, 47% to...

Michael Moore reacted to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by saying he wants to “pour gasoline” on the “anger” people feel toward the health insurance industry. In a Friday Substack post, Moore said that while he condemns “murder” in general, he does not condemn the “anger” people feel “toward the health insurance industry.” In fact, he wants to further fuel that anger. “The anger is 1000% justified. It is long overdue for the media to cover it. It is not new. It has been boiling. And I’m not going to tamp it down or ask people to shut...

Graphic video Butterball is facing calls for a boycott just days before Thanksgiving after sickening footage of poultry workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing its turkeys resurfaced on social media. The uproar unfolded after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists posted a decades-old clip online over the weekend that allegedly showed the company’s employees abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas. The graphic footage, which soon went viral, was captured during an undercover probe in 2006 in which workers were filmed bashing the birds against steel cages and stomping on their heads, the animal rights...

Sin City blew a kiss goodbye to the Tropicana before first light Wednesday in an elaborate implosion that reduced to rubble the last true mob building on the Las Vegas Strip. The Tropicana's hotel towers tumbled in a celebration that included a fireworks display. It was the first implosion in nearly a decade for a city that loves fresh starts and that has made casino implosions as much a part of its identity as gambling itself. The casino came down with a seven-minute celebration involving 550 drones and 150 "pyrodrones" counting down to the controlled demolition of the resort originally...

ABC News failed to disclose that Kamala Harris and ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, who co-moderated Tuesday night’s debate between Harris and President Trump, are sorority sisters in the influential Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. AKA formed a PAC in August after Harris became the Democrats’ presidential nominee. The sorority connection is one more possible clue as to why the debate moderated by Davis and ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir was so one-sided in favor of Harris. Muir and Davis interrupted Trump numerous times to fact check and argue with him while they did not fact check Harris...

Bree A Dail @breeadail CONFIRMED—@ABC Linsey Davis, who moderated last night’s Presidential Debate, had a MAJOR conflict of interest: She is a sorority sister of Kamala Harris, and bragged about it on record, years ago.

VIDEOIf you think that the ABC News debate moderators, which included a SORORITY SISTER of Kamala, were biased then meet the over the top biased TDS moderators of the upcoming Vice-Presidential CBS debate on October 1. Norah O'Donnell who is so divorced from reality as to be a Border Czar Denialist and Margaret Brennan whose hatred of Trump is so extreme that she slammed him just hours after he was shot on July 13. Both of these moderators need to be labeled with disclaimers that they hate Trump in particular and MAGA in general. Will they also FAIL to fact...

I watched every minute of the debate. The video package I had available for Wednesday morning's Hugh Hewitt Show and my Duane's World podcast included over 50 video clips. My original conclusion was that nobody won the debate. Trump wasn't at his best, Kamala Harris was an A.I. cyborg reciting memorized answers to issue sets, not specific questions. And David Muir and Linsey Davis, Kamala's sorority sister, set a standard for bias in a debate moderator that will never be equaled. I'm not sure it's physically possible to be more partisan and one-sided than what we saw Tuesday night in...

BOMBSHELL REPORT: ABC whistleblower to reveal Harris campaign was given SAMPLE QUESTIONS that were essentially the same questions that were given during the debate..Reports also indicate they were provided SEPERATE ASSURANCES Trump would be fact checked and Harris would NOT..— Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) September 12, 2024

“Absolutely not,” an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. “Harris was not given any questions before the debate,” adding no aides were in contact with the moderators either.ABC has denied Vice President Kamala Harris was given any questions ahead of Tuesday’s debate, shooting down one of the talking points that right-wingers—including former President Donald Trump—tried to use to explain the former president’s much-criticized debate performance. “Absolutely not,” an ABC News spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “Harris was not given any questions before the debate.” The network’s debate rules stated that “no topics or questions will be shared in advance...

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Thursday dropped two criminal counts against President Trump in Fani Willis’s lawfare RICO case. In August 2023, corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted President Trump and 18 co-defendants for daring to challenge the 2020 election. IMAGE Judge McAfee said two of the counts related to conspiracy and filing false documents are outside of Fani Willis’s jurisdiction since she is a local District Attorney and not a federal prosecutor. A total of five of the 13 charges of the original indictment have now been dropped against President Trump. Judge McAfee dropped...

The criminal trial of rapper Young Thug, which is being prosecuted by the office of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, is set to receive a new judge. Willis, best known for pursuing still-pending felony election subversion charges against former President Donald Trump, indicted the Grammy Award-winning rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, on racketeering, gun and drug charges in Fulton County in May 2022. Williams is one of 28 people accused of violating Georgia's RICO Act for alleged membership of a street gang called "Young Slime Life," or YSL, which shares initials with name of his record...

On Tuesday, over 60 "Stop Cop City" protestors were indicted in Fulton County, Georgia on charges in connection with their efforts to prevent the construction of a police training facility near Atlanta earlier this year.The defendants, collectively branded an "enterprise of militant anarchists, eco-activists and community organizers," have all been accused of violating the state's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Individual defendants are also facing other charges related to their particular roles.

In a controversial move, Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged former President Donald Trump last month under Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It appears Willis, the proud daughter of a top Black Panther, may have unwittingly opened Pandora's box as it pertains to the acceptability of lawfare in the state — to the detriment of her fellow leftists. Georgia's Republican attorney general made clear Tuesday that the gloves are now off, indicting 61 radicals under the same statute. Now with the shoe on the other foot, leftists are decrying the RICO charges, calling them "anti-democratic," reported...
