Los Angeles ICE protesters CHASED OFF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT and wouldn’t let them put out the fire they lit at the ICE detention center Let me repeat that. Democrat rioters in California are setting fires and then being allowed to STOP THE FIRE DEPARTMENT “Protesters setting a dumpster on fire right outside the downtown detention center where many federal immigration detainees are being held. Firefighters responded but then backed away when they were confronted by a handful of protesters”

Foul-mouthed lefty radicals stormed a Jewish temple to ambush and mock Long Island Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi this week over his initial vote to back a GOP-led spending bill that pumps more cash into ICE. The activists — from the left-wing advocacy group Climate Defiance — caused chaos inside the house of worship in Roslyn where Suozzi was speaking Wednesday night, crudely showing up with diapers and kneepads and cursing the self-described “moderate” Dem for joining his Republican colleagues last week in passing a $64.4 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. Suozzi ended up changing his vote...

@RandPaul 🧵If H.R. 260 becomes law, $631M meant for Afghanistan reconstruction will be clawed back to the Treasury. After twenty years of war and failure, not another dollar should ever reach the Taliban. H.R. 260 finally ends Washington’s blind commitment to relocate Afghans without adequate safeguards. We’ve already seen the cost. One National Guardsman is dead at the hands of a terrorist who entered through resettlement. We must put security first. No country or NGO that props up the Taliban should ever receive U.S. tax dollars. This amendment makes that principle law. America must not bankroll those who side with...

Any organisation that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise,’ says Kaja Kallas. The EU has listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation, ending years of division over the issue in response to the regime’s brutal repression of protesters. “Repression cannot go unanswered,” said Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, on Thursday. The paramilitary organisation has played a significant role in suppressing demonstrations in Iran. “Any regime that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise,” she wrote on X.

The deranged “manifesto” of Luigi Mangione revealed the image-obsessed accused killer chose to “wack the CEO” of UnitedHealthcare during an investor conference in New York City to generate “headlines” — and had previously planned a bombing “catastrophe,” court documents revealed. Parts of Mangione’s scrawlings in red spiral notebooks were revealed as part of a filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, giving insight into the thought processes of the 27-year-old who allegedly targeted Brian Thompson, 50, on Dec. 4, 2024, to prove a political point about the health insurance industry, which he wrote “extracts human life force for...

The same CIA operatives who ran color revolutions overseas are now running one in Minneapolis. Barbara Boyd exposes Maria Stephan, the NED, and the regime-change playbook being used against Trump. Names. Files. Receipts. Watch now:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued with Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul Wednesday over whether the U.S.’ capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was an “act of war.” Paul expressed disagreement with Rubio by stating that if any country captured the U.S. president in the same kind of operation carried out in Venezuela, he would declare war. President Donald Trump’s administration, including Rubio, have repeatedly stated that Maduro’s arrest was simply a “law enforcement action” and not an act of war against Venezuela. Trump said that the move brought Maduro to “justice” and that the U.S. acted within its constitutional...

This is an important piece about the relationship between civilians and the president and the military. Worth reading to understand the level of manipulation the leftists are using to deny the country safety and security A fundamental element of U.S. civil–military relations is the principle of civilian control of the military. This principle pre-dates the Constitution itself. As Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, George Washington deferred to the Continental Congress, despite the severe disabilities of that body. The Constitution codified the principle of civilian control. Civilian policymakers would establish the goals of security policy and provide the material...

The State Department formally determined this month that the Palestinian Authority paid more than $200 million to terrorists and their families in 2025, the same year PA president Mahmoud Abbas claimed he ended the "pay-to-slay" program, according to a nonpublic notice provided to Congress and obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.

Israeli intelligence assessed that the...

Austin, we have a problem. Even as many in Texas are pushing back against the rising presence of Islamic Supremacist organizations and hate groups trying to spread their hateful views and calls for the conquest and mass murder of non-Muslims, Austin is welcoming them in. Fresh off declaring January to be ‘Muslim Heritage Month’, the city of Austin, Texas also decided to declare Jan 22nd, “CAIR-Austin” day after the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (a violent Islamist movement originally funded by Nazi Germany) whose national organization celebrated the Hamas massacres of Oct 7 and was named an unindicted...

Ted Lieu encourages more people in Minnesota to get into the faces of ICE agents and film them so that evidence can be used to prosecute them in the future for doing their jobs. These people are trying to get ICE agents killed.

A new edition of Tucker Carlson’s newsletter is drawing sharp backlash after he argued that an Iranian nuclear weapon could ultimately be a stabilizing force in the Middle East, prompting critics to accuse him of echoing narratives friendly to the Islamic Republic. In the essay, Carlson reportedly contends that the chances Tehran would ever launch a nuclear strike are effectively zero, describing the use of such a weapon as “suicidal” for any regime. He contrasts that with the United States, noting it is the only country to have used nuclear weapons in war, and suggests Washington treats that history as...
