What we pay them to do, but extraordinary work all the same, given what could have happened if the thugs succeeded. Back during the Biden administration, the FBI appeared to be solely focused on rounding up conservatives. At the same time, all kinds of other crimes in their mandate -- spies, terrorism, blue-city corruption -- showed little evidence of activity or results. Obviously, that allowed the crazies on the left to grow in number and get bolder in their plans, but the results seen now suggest some impressive corrective work. It looks like the FBI -- and the many law...

Leftists charged in a suspected bombing plot in California allegedly told an undercover FBI informant of their radical intentions several times before their Friday arrest, even mentioning a “terrorist diary,” court records show.

The New Year will be getting off to a better start than it might have otherwise, thanks to the good guys now running the FBI. Rather than persecuting Catholics and propping up Democrat smear campaigns, they have been foiling leftist terror plots. The Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), whose name implies the USA has no right to exist, joins many liberals in opposing ICE efforts to enforce immigration law and aggressively supporting the Palestinian cause. Via Fox News: According to the FBI, they were allegedly planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve using improvised explosive devices, targeting five separate...

FBI Director Kash Patel announces arrest of 'pro-Palestinian' cell planning attack in LA on New Year's Eve.

Multiple splinter cell members of the radical Turtle Island Liberation Front, which posts disturbing slogans such as “Death to America” on social media, were arrested last Friday for allegedly plotting a New Year’s Eve terror attack in the Los Angeles area. Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a little-known “pro-Palestine, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government” extremist group, has quietly been raising funds and resources to usher in a “revolutionary change in government.” “TILF also calls for the working class to rise up and fight back against capitalism,” an FBI affidavit noted. “Moreover, TILF advocates that liberalism and peaceful protest will be the downfall...
