JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signs a bill handing over Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the most votes across the whole country… even if Virginians vote the other way. Insane. They rushed it through with mostly Democrat votes. The plan has 222 votes. It needs 270 to actually start working. Once it does, your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore. The Founders made the Electoral College so a few big cities don’t boss the whole country. This is a sneaky Democrat power grab to cheat that. “Every vote counts the same”? Lies. Virginians are pissed off, and...

NEWARK, N.J. – As he navigated the crowds in an impromptu appearance at a protest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker defended figures in the pro-China activist network funded by American Marxist tech millionaire Neville Roy Singham as "wonderful people," while dismissing scrutiny surrounding his Cuba trip. Asked about reporting on Singham's network and its connections to far-left activism, Piker said there is "this environment of suspicion" surrounding Singham and his activities, taking a "sinister shape," but they are "totally above board and totally legal." In recent months, many agitators from the Singham network...

The mullahs and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are driven by fervent Islamic fundamentalism. Donald Trump’s opponents have shifted the focus from the existential threat posed by their ideology, weapons, and indiscriminate attacks on civilians across the Middle East to transient oil price spikes and Trump’s alleged derangement. Although most Muslims are not Islamists (militant Islamic fundamentalists), all Islamists are Muslims. Because of immigration and fertility rates, the Muslim population in Europe and the United States has exploded, exceeding 50 million in the EU (about 8% of the EU’s population), and 4 million in the United States. Pew projects Muslims will...

Reports that relatives of the Chinese Communist Party’s billionaire tool Neville “Roy” Singham are playing a key role in far-left political circles in New York are only the latest evidence of their nefarious influence in politics across the country. As Will Bredderman reported in the Jewish Insider this week, members of the Shanghai-based tech mogul’s family are operating “inside the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, supporting Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s preferred candidates for Congress and playing significant roles in shaping and advancing key elements of his agenda.” But Singham’s network of anti-American activists has not only...

MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena. Hayes and Hasan were discussing reports that suggest the U.S. is responsible for the strike that hit an Iranian girls' school that resulted in many...

Obama uses Jackson eulogy to slam Trump's America By Emily Goodin President Barack Obama used his eulogy for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson to rail at President Trump’s administration, decrying the state of country under his leadership. “Each day we wake up to some new assault on our Democratic institutions, another setback to the idea of the rule of law, an offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to, to things you just didn't think were possible,” he said. Obama didn’t say Trump’s name but his meaning was clear. And the crowd at the Chicago’s House of Hope...

A coalition of Democratic-led states sued President Donald Trump on Thursday in the U.S. Court of International Trade, arguing that his newly imposed across-the-board tariffs are illegal. The suit is led by the Democratic attorneys general from Oregon, New York, California and Arizona along with attorneys general from 18 other states. They accused Trump of trying to “sidestep” a February Supreme Court ruling that overturned many of his tariffs by using a different statute, Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, as justification for new tariffs. “The President is attempting to use an obscure law as a tool for...

Attention DePaul University donors! Do you want to check out how your funding is being put to use? The institution just initiated an obnoxious, new anti-ICE journalism institute in partnership with radical ex-Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot and another Chicago-based left-wing group financed by some of the most notorious leftists in American politics. The supposedly Catholic DePaul — which sits comfortably on a roughly $1.15 billion endowment — announced that it was launching the cringely-named Institute for Journalism and Racial Justice (IJRJ) during a February 25 campus event, according to student newspaper The DePaulia. The announcement came following a “community...

A Minnesota prosecutor announced an investigation Monday that may lead to charges against federal officers, including Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, for misconduct during an immigration enforcement crackdown. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a news conference that her office is already looking into 17 cases, including one where Bovino threw a smoke canister at protesters on Jan. 21. Another on Jan. 7 involved federal officers making an arrest outside a high school and deploying chemical irritants while students and staff were in the area. “Make no mistake, we are not afraid of the legal fight, and we are...

At present, 33 countries and two territories allow birthright citizenship out of 194 nations on the planet, meaning, it's not exactly a common phenomenon by global standards.AdvertisementThis hasn't stopped the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and some NGO they're politically aligned with from wading into another policy argument, calling President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship to illegal aliens 'immoral,' speaking as a 'friend of the court' as the case on birthright citizenship goes to the Supreme Court. The document is here.According to Sahara Reporters:AdvertisementThe United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has launched a legal offensive against President Donald...

Over the past 18 years, officers at Maryland’s Frederick County jail have asked thousands of inmates two standard questions: What country are you a citizen of? And where were you born?If the answer was anything other than the United States, local officers deputized with special federal authority launched an investigation into whether the person was in the country illegally. Since 2008, Frederick County has turned over 1,884 people to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Sheriff Charles Jenkins said. But that is coming to an immediate halt under a law signed Tuesday by Democratic Gov. Wes Moore that prohibits immigration enforcement...

Rep. Seth Moulton, who invited the teen to the Capitol, said his story “captures what’s broken in our immigration system.”Marcelo Gomes da Silva, a Milford teen who was detained by federal agents last year, has been invited to attend this year’s State of the Union in Washington, D.C. as a guest.

USAID-funded “revolution consultants” training protesters how to topple governments and advance left-wing social causes are embedded across U.S. universities and training American activists how to carry out the same operations in the U.S.The Center for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), headquartered in Serbia, openly markets its expertise in “building and running successful non-violent movements.” They aim to “engage with students as much as with activists.”CANVAS received funding from USAID, which has historically used these same protest tactics to topple regime across the world. The money came through the Civil Society Engagement Program in Georgia, a five-year program that started...

California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff warned during an appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that President Trump intends to "subvert" the midterm elections, perhaps by forcing through a bill mandating voter ID. "He's basically telling us he intends to interfere in this upcoming election," Schiff said. "We cannot ignore what they're telling us they're going to do because time and time again we have seen that they’re willing to go to extraordinary and lawless lengths. The last, best hope for our democracy is not going to be the Congress or the court, it’s going to be the American people." "Republicans...

The Minneapolis City Council, in an 8-5 vote, refused to renew liquor licenses for two hotels accused of housing ICE agents, delaying action to seek greater ‘public input’ in the process. A public hearing for residents to complain about the hotels is scheduled for February 17. The hotels have been targets of protests because federal immigration officers were believed to be staying there during the immigration enforcement surge that brought 3,000 federal agents to Minnesota, when an agent killed Renee Good. Even the city’s attorney told the council that (1) the hotels complied with liquor licensing laws, (2) are eligible...

Paul addressed federal officials’ claims that Pretti posed a threat to ICE officers.... I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,” Paul said. “The president’s advisor, Stephen Miller, called Pretti an assassin. That’s a lot of people–not telling the truth,” Pelley added. Paul shook his head at Miller’s statement and added, “It sounds like terrible judgment. I mean, terrible conclusions, incorrect conclusions, stating things that no one else believes.
