Actually absurd.Two Islamic migrants - a father and son, no less - killed at least 15 people on Sunday at a Jewish beach party celebrating the start of Hanukkah.This means, of course, that the leftwing globalists have to remind us that "antisemitism" and "the rise of right-wing extremist groups" are the problem.

A central claim among those who deny a link between ancient and modern Egyptians is that subsequent invasions replaced the original population. This is not supported by demographic, genetic, or linguistic evidence. Genetic studies show ancient Egypt DNA continues.The Greek and Roman Periods: The Ptolemaic Greeks and later the Romans ruled as small, elite minorities. Their demographic footprint on the overall gene pool of Egypt was negligible.The Arab Conquest (7th Century CE): This was the most significant cultural event, introducing Arabic and Islam. However, this was a case of elite dominance and cultural diffusion, not population replacement. The Genetic Impact:...

We are the greatest city in the world. “I suspect that’s one of the reasons why we have record numbers of Americans coming here...

The ongoing federal immigration operations in Minnesota targeting Somali immigrants living in the country illegally have created fear and unease for many in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara joined 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS on Wednesday night and reiterated that police don’t participate in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Because of that, O’Hara didn’t confirm any ICE operations, something ABC News confirmed through multiple sources on Wednesday.

The chief says he’s already noticed more businesses closed and...

Outgoing New York City New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed two executive orders Wednesday aimed at countering antisemitism and preventing city funds from supporting the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

He called Omar “garbage” and said “we’re going to go...

The Trump administration fired eight immigration judges in New York City on Monday, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The firings followed an earlier round of job cuts in New York immigration courts and are part of a broader disruption across the country, which is taking place as the president seeks to accelerate deportations. They were confirmed by an official at the National Association of Immigration Judges, a union representing immigration judges, and a Justice Department official who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter. The immigration courts are under the control...

The video of the ambush is brief and sickening. Two young National Guard soldiers, barely into adulthood, walk their post near the White House. An Islamic terrorist rounds the corner, raises a revolver, and opens fire. By the time other guardsmen tackle him, Specialist Sarah Beckstrom is fatally wounded and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe is fighting for his life. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is not some random drifter. He is a former member of the CIA’s elite Afghan “Zero Units,” a paramilitary strike force trained for kill capture missions in the Taliban heartland. He came here through President Biden’s Operation...
