Prior to President Donald Trump authorizing targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, federal agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have been arresting Iranian nationals, nearly all men, in the U.S. illegally. In the last few months, federal prosecutors have also brought terrorism charges against Iranians, including those in the U.S. working for the Iranian government. Iran is a designated state sponsor of terrorism. Iranian nationals illegally in the country are considered “special interest aliens” under federal law. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday issued a warning to all Americans to be on a heightened...

Republicans at a House Oversight subcommittee hearing Wednesday scrutinized how federally funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs) advance progressive programs and sometimes employ people who have worked in the same federal agencies that oversee the grant money distributed to those NGOs. Many of these individuals in key positions at these NGOs, witnesses at the hearing testified, donate to Democratic candidates. Democrats in the hearing blasted Republicans for wanting to cut the funding of nonprofits providing charitable services, and one witness took remarks from Rep. Greg Casar to be a threat of violence. A spokesperson for Casar's office said the comment was misunderstood....

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Thursday on CNN’s “The Source” that former FBI Director James Comey’s social media post about President Donald Trump that featured a photo of seashells arranged to read, “86 47,” was not criminally chargeable. Kaitlan Collins said, “Listen to what the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – just to give you a sense of what administration officials are saying – what she just said tonight.” Fox News host Jesse Watters said, “Do you believe Comey should be in jail?” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said, “I do. Any other person with a...

There is controversy at George Mason University after Nicholas Decker, an economics PhD student published an essay asking “When Must We Kill Them?” in reference to Trump and his supporters. The essay captures the growing violent ideation on the left, fueled by rage rhetoric from politicians and commentators. The danger is that, for some on the extremes of our society, the question is not “when must we kill them?” but “when can we kill them?” On his Substack “Homo Economicus,” Decker warns that “evil has come to America” and that Trump is “engaged in barbarism” and seeking “to destroy the...

Google Chrome users have been warned to delete 16 “malicious” browser extensions that could lead to a security threat and “fraud” at the hands of a prolific “threat actor.” The extensions affect functionality involving screen capture, ad blocking, emoji keyboards and more, with a potential impact on at least 3.2 million users, according to GitLab Threat Intelligence, which first reported the threat. The extensions inject code and harmful scripts into browsers, allowing hackers to steal user data and engage in search-engine fraud involving ad revenue, according to Tom’s Guide. After users granted permission to use them, the extensions, while legitimate,...

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Saturday morning to blast MSNBC as a “threat to our democracy.” “MSNBC, COMMONLY KNOWN AS MSDNC, IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY. SUCH LYING AND MISREPRESENTATION. BAD PEOPLE AT THE TOP,” Trump wrote.

They shouldn’t even have a right to broadcast — Only in America!,” Trump posted to Truth Social, responding to a report from Mediaite about CNN facing layoffs.

New York -- When a suspicious video of ballots being ripped up in Pennsylvania gained attention on social media last October, federal agencies responded quickly and called it out as Russian disinformation. On Election Day in November, bomb threats to polling places in numerous states caused relatively few disruptions to voting. It’s one of the many scenarios covered by the nation’s cybersecurity agency in its outreach to state and local officials.The Trump administration’s downsizing and disbanding of federal agencies has hit efforts that improve election security and monitor foreign influence. That could create gaps for America’s enemies to exploit the...

She really let the mask slip that this is a harmless civil rights organization when she yells “I demand Jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you.” America better wake up to this nonsense. Barry Soetero, a/k/a Barack HUSSEIN Obama legitimized this demographic and they are everywhere!!

On Tuesday, on Fox News Channel’s “Americas Newsroom,” Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary said President Donald Trump’s plan to implement 10% tariffs on China is not enough to squeeze them. Co-host Dana Perino said, “So Mexico and Canada were obviously motivated to try to get to a deal with President Trump yesterday, and they got a 30-day pause. Do you think President Xi is of a similar mind?” O’Leary said, “No, I don’t. I think China is a completely unique situation, very different than Mexico, very different than Canada. China, since 1999, when they joined the WTO, has never abided...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada “won’t back down” from President Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff and that Ottawa will respond accordingly until they are removed. “We’re showing the new American administration that they have a strong partner in Canada when it comes to upholding border security, all while simultaneously underscoring that we won’t back down, that if tariffs are implemented against Canada, we will respond,” Trudeau said Friday while addressing the advisory council on Canada-U.S. relations. “We won’t relent until tariffs are removed and, of course, everything is on the table,” he added. Trump has once...

An infamous Colorado apartment complex overrun by the vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang has been ordered to shut down because it poses an “imminent threat” to the public, a judge ruled. The owners of the Edge at Lowry complex in Aurora were slapped with the emergency closure order late last week following a spate of recent violent ordeals — including the brutal kidnapping and torture of a migrant couple who lived there. The city had requested the closure as officials pursue criminal negligence charges against the building’s owners — Five Dallas Partners — amid the wave of troubling incidents,...
