The Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7, 2023 could have been released a long time ago had the Biden administration exerted pressure on Qatar to use its good relations with the Islamist group to force it to do so.All Qatar had to do was to summon the Hamas leaders in Doha and give them an ultimatum to release all the hostages immediately or face deportation from the Gulf state. It is hard to see how the Hamas leaders would have been able to say no to their major political and financial patrons and backers.... The...

An immigrant group behind a major lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship receives millions of dollars in government funding annually, a Washington Examiner analysis of public records has found. CASA, an organization that helps migrants find work regardless of their legal status, filed the lawsuit alongside the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and five pregnant noncitizens in January, arguing that Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.

The Vermont killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David 'Chris' Maland brought more scrutiny on the 'Zizians'.. A cult expert lifted the veil on the "Zizian" fringe group that is linked to the Vermont U.S. Border Patrol agent shooting.

Stephanie🕊 @stephsvox OMG. Look at what we have funded! 👀

I still can’t figure out if I’m shocked or not at this story. But apparently, over $1.3 billion in taxpayer dollars from the Biden administration has been funneled to groups linked to or directly sponsoring terrorism. Federal watchdog reports and other documents reveal that Biden’s aid programs have supported a network of terrorism across the Muslim world, largely by undoing crucial policies that the Trump administration put in place, according to The Daily Caller. National security experts told the outlet that the Trump administration must do something about this. “We should not be putting money into any country or areas...

It seems shocking that a government entity that has the word "aid" in its acronym would ever be accused of doing dirty tricks and worse against the friends and foes of the U.S., much less be defanged or shut down by Donald Trump. For the world's lefties this defanging is unthinkable. But now, we're finding out all kinds of skullduggery attributed to our color revolutionistas at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Victoria Nuland, and Samantha Power and their kindred through the years. And color revolution coups have been their specialty. See Ukraine 2014. Need a race riot in...

Demonstrators opposed to President Donald Trump's immigration policies gathered at City Hall Monday and are marching through downtown Los Angeles. The gathering comes one day after hundreds of protesters rallied and marched downtown, eventually blocking the 101 Freeway and causing major traffic delays.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he had nominated Joe Kent to serve as the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center. Kent, who hails from the Pacific North West, lost his wife Shannon, who was posthumously promoted to Senior Chief Petty Officer, in Syria. Kent is a veteran who served on 11 combat deployments with the Green Berets. "It is my pleasure to nominate Joe Kent as the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center," Trump said. "As a Soldier, Green Beret, and CIA Officer, Joe has hunted down terrorists and criminals his entire adult life. Above all,...

Anti-Israel protesters say they spray-painted the front of a Columbia University building and "cemented" the sewage lines of another building to mark the one-year anniversary of a Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli forces in 2024. Three groups, in a joint post, uploaded a video to social media on Wednesday showing evidence of their defacement, while Columbia University says it is working with law enforcement to investigate the incident, which included "disturbing, personal attacks."

Three young people with prestigious, accomplished academic backgrounds are suspected in at least two brutal, connected killings. Maximilian Snyder, 22, and Teresa Youngblut, 21, sought a marriage license in Washington State in November. They have each been charged by authorities in separate January killings that claimed the lives of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont and an 82-year-old landlord in Vallejo, according to police and court records obtained by Open Vallejo, a California news outlet. Maximilian Snyder, a 22-year-old data scientist arrested in Northern California on Friday on suspicion of murder, and Teresa Youngblut, the 21-year-old computer science student charged...

Liberal media has been uninterested in investigating the couple involved in shooting dead a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Coventry, Vermont near the Canadian border on inauguration day. Why? Both in the duo are leftist trans militants. One of the deceased armed militants is a German believed to be in the country on an H-1B visa. The duo is allegedly connected to a trans terror cell. Federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix "Ophelia" Baukholt and Seattle @UW student Teresa "Milo" Youngblut (xe/xem/xyrs) after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons...

The mysterious duo who were pulled over in Coventry, Vt. in the deadly shootout are leftist trans militants with alleged ties to a trans terror cell allegedly involved in three other homicides. On Inauguration Day, the shocking news that a US Border Patrol officer had been shot dead near the Canadian border in Vermont in an incident involving a now-deceased foreign national was overshadowed by coverage of Donald Trump's events in the nation's capital. One week later, a 21-year-old Washington woman was charged over the deadly incident, but little has been reported about her and her deceased accomplice, a German...

Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger: This Wapo article is one of the most blatant examples of journalistic malpractice I've seen in a while.Shame on @leo_sands, @sammy_westfall, @NihaMasih, and @MiriamABerger for omitting critical information that would've drastically reframed the piece for their audience 🧵 CAMERAorg and 4 others.

Senators are obviously trying to figure out how to sink Gabbard’s nomination before her scheduled hearing on Jan. 30.Senators are looking for excuses over reasons to refuse President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard — a combat veteran who previously served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii and now faces character assassination.Gabbard, who is meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon, committed two crimes that now threaten to derail her confirmation: leaving the Democrat party and campaigning against the interventionist impulses of the deep state war machine.After Democrats fought to delay her way forward, Semafor...

... . This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice as the actual bad guys in this sordid story...

...I’m resharing this because I don’t think you fully grasp the highlighted words.. This is a Federal Judge in Washington DC admitting he believes I was tortured, and should be released, but refused to let me go anyways. Imagine the green light this put on our heads when a corrupt DC Judge basically tells the world that, “Yes you were mistreated and abused, I should let you go, but I refuse to free you because of who you voted for.” By making this statement, it gave the DC Jail the permission they needed to go even HARDER on us. When...

First responders got a call where a man was "stabbed multiple times." An Afghan refugee allegedly tracked down and stabbed an immigration caseworker multiple times in Michigan on Wednesday. The Orion Township caseworker's job was to help immigrants assimilate into the country. According to WXYZ, first responders answered a call where a man was "stabbed multiple times” on Red Boot Road near E. Silverbell and Kern roads in Oakland County, Michigan. The suspect in the case reportedly took off in a car but was later arrested and identified as a refugee from Afghanistan who was getting help from the victimized...

They're going to try to memory-hole this, but we can't forget that the Left put America through a reign of terror after 2020. This is some of what they did to me and my family, in an attempt to shut me up: When I was in Seattle, they put up posters around my neighborhood with insane lies about me and my home address, instructing activists to show up at my door. Later, they sent letters to a few hundred of my neighbors, claiming I was a Nazi white supremacist. Death threats, references to my family, the whole deal. A few...
