When US Border Patrol boats were spotted in the Chicago River Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) demanded to know "who authorized this? I didn't authorize this. I wasn't consulted before this invasion was launched. The federal government is not communicating with me or our police department." Border Patrol chief Michael Banks said "we've posted information about our latest immigration enforcement activities on social media to let residents know what we're doing. We didn't make a separate effort to coordinate with the Mayor since he has declared he wants to eradicate law-enforcement in his city." Johnson called Banks' reply "disrespectful. He's only...

The radical Left’s poison has seeped so deep into American institutions that even the people entrusted with our lives at 30,000 feet are openly glorifying political assassinations. According to Milo Yiannopoulos, Andrew Schweizer, a pilot affiliated with United and SkyWest Airlines, was exposed for celebrating the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, calling him a “f***ing Nazi” and sneering that the “only good kind of Nazi is a dead Nazi.” In now-viral posts, Schweizer left no doubt about where he stood: “This is all going to be over one way or another soon and so I don’t want...

Award-winning Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan said that he was arrested in London over posts on social media criticising transgenderism. The creator of celebrated comedy programmes, including Father Ted and The IT Crowd, said on Tuesday that upon recently arriving at Heathrow Airport, he was met by five “armed police officers” who he says arrested him over “three tweets”. “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet...

VIDEOFatima was much different than I had imagined it would be. Most likely it is because my impressions of it were formed by the film, "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima" starring Gilbert Roland. Therefore I expected a very small village. Well, there was a small village about 2 kilometers away from the Sanctuary of Fatima which you can see in this video. We also visited that as well.Anyway, later that day we left Fatima and took the bus to Porto without giving much further thought to Fatima UNTIL a few days later when something amazing happened. In fact,...

Harjinder Singh, the illegal immigrant truck driver who made a left turn across a lane of traffic on the Florida Turnpike in order to use "an official vehicles only" cut through to traffic running in the opposite direction and caused a crash that killed a family of three, was the beneficiary of a petition signed by more than 2.5 million urging Florida officials to show leniency toward him. One of the signers cited the case of Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, an Indian immigrant truck driver who sped through a stop sign at nearly 60 mph and slammed into a bus killing...

We were walking to our train in the main Glasgow, Scotland train station a half hour ago. Halfway down the platform there were two policemen restraining a crazy man who was screaming at the police and struggling to break free from the cops. I really wanted to get a video, but didn’t want to go to jail for that.

In April, illegal Harjinder Singh made an illegal u-turn on a Florida turnpike and caused a crash that killed three occupants of a minivan in the lane to the left of his semi-truck. Hoping to bolster his chances of running for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) pointed out that "Trump was president when Singh illegally entered the US. His failure to secure the border enabled this tragedy to occur." What Newsom failed to mention was that it was California that illegally granted Singh a commercial driver's license. When Singh was tested for English language proficiency by the Federal...

A teacher in Washington, D.C., praised President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime because it ensures that the nation’s capital is “safe” and “secure.” Trump’s federal takeover and deployment of the National Guard has led to nearly 400 arrests since Aug. 11, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed. In response, Elliot Reed told Fox LOCAL that Trump’s crackdown is assuring him that action is being taken to keep Washington safe. “I think it’s a good thing because it actually reinforces the fact that America is secure, safe [and] stable,” Reed said. “As a moderate, as a centrist, I think something needs to...

VIDEOIt's a good thing I recorded videos of Obidos during our Portugal trip because the memories of it were so magical as to seem to have been perhaps just a dream. No cars (except official vehicles) on the town's roads. It was like a trip back hundreds of years or more in time. it was weird because after we arrived at our historical hotel in the evening, the town seemed dead with almost nobody there. Imagine our surprise when the next morning, after our continental breakfast, we opened the hotel door and saw the streets filled with thousands of tourists....

Resident Cloud Elvengrail filed a complaint that "the 24-hour Antifa occupation outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland is disturbing the peace. Every day for months I've had to endure around the clock loud and shrill noises. It's pure torture. I want the police to enforce the City's anti-noise codes." Elvengrail also complained of harassment and and intimidation. Other witnesses from the neighborhood corroborated her testimony, saying they "didn't feel safe." Video evidence of assaults on federal agents, members of the media and residents, as well as arson attacks on the ICE facility were also...

VIDEOYes, it was truly a magical place. Sintra. Our next stop after Lisbon. Just seeing the photos or videos of Sintra doesn't do it justice. One must visit Sintra to feel its magical effects on the spirit. No wonder the royal family of Portugal chose to stay in the magic mountains of Sintra at the Palacio de Pena during the summers.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem's effort to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of tens of thousands of migrants in the United States from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was challenged by the Soros-funded National Day Laborer Organizing Network on the grounds that "they are being targeted because they are non-white, non-Europeans." Noem defended the plan to end TPS saying "this temporary program was established by an executive order issued by President Clinton. The premise used to justify TPS was that these illegal immigrants faced significant risk of harm if they were deported to their home countries. Whether...

In what he mistakenly thought was a winning argument in his campaign for New York City mayor, former Gov, Andrew Cuomo said he "will move to Florida if socialist Mamdani wins in November." Brooklyn resident Luigi Corleone said "I was planning on voting for Sliwa. He's not a communist kook or a crook like the others, but the opportunity to get Cuomo out of the state is very tempting. Mamdani's ideas are stupid, but I don't think he ever murdered anyone. Cuomo, on the other hand, ordered nursing homes to admit covid-infected old folks. Thousands died as a result. Cuomo...

VIDEOThe BEST way to sightsee in Lisbon is on top of a double deck tour bus. You will have a panaromaic view of the city which makes for easy video recording and still camera shots. Also, as you can see, the streets of Lisbon are very narrow which makes it tough for most Americans to navigate while worrying about scratching or causing even worse damage to their rental cars. The weather on the day we toured Lisbon atop the tour bus was absolutely perfect with nary a cloud in the sky. At any time you want to get off the...

In 2008, California voters approved a $9.95 billion bond measure to construct a high-speed rail system between Los Angeles and San Francisco by the year 2020. Seventeen years later and 1300% over budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom claims that "the project has met every obligation and we are now fast approaching the track-laying phase." President Trump questioned "whether a project that was supposed to be completed by 2020 can honestly be said to have met every obligation' seems dubious. The original promise made to voters was that the trains would've been carrying passengers for the last five years. Now Gov. Newsom...

The Spirit Airlines of the past is officially no more. In January, the airline updated its rules to include a crackdown on inappropriate passenger attire.Outrageously, to some, you can’t fly barefoot on the airline anymore. Nor can you be dressed in a manner that is deemed to be inappropriate.That means you can’t wear items such as see-through clothing or an outfit that exposes private parts. A tall order for some.

A Delta Connection Embraer E175 regional jet, operated by SkyWest Airlines as Flight 3788 from Minneapolis–Saint Paul to Minot International Airport, executed a sudden “aggressive maneuver” during its final approach to avoid a near-fatal mid‑air collision with a U.S. Air Force B‑52 bomber from nearby Minot Air Force Base. While on final approach from Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the Delta Connection crew received a last-second instruction from air traffic control to turn due to “inadequate separation.” During the turn, the pilot spotted the B‑52 rapidly converging and hauled the jet sharply behind it for safety. Once landed safely, the pilot addressed passengers...

VIDEOAfter we visited Dos Jeronimos monastery we went to see the historic Belem Tower. Unfortunately, due to construction work on it, we were not allowed to go into the tower itself. However, I did take a few photos that reveals its unique architecture. After that a great tragedy was blessedly averted as I describe in the video. Let it serve as a warning to NEVER eat anything sold by street vendors in Portugal.

Tourists, international students and business travelers may be required to pay a $250 fee when visiting the United States on a non-immigrant visa. The new provision applies solely to visitors from countries that require a non-immigrant visa for entry, as outlined in the “big, beautiful” spending bill signed by President Trump, according to the Envoy Global law firm. No formal start date has been announced to begin the collection of the “visa integrity fee.” Starting in 2026, the $250 price could increase to accommodate inflation, per the law firm. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be tasked with determining the...
