Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia. Reporters from the New York Times and Washington Post shared a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for articles that used classified leaks to advance the Russigate hoax.

The far-left New Republic, in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declared that Democrats’ responses condemning the killing were “too tasteful for the moment,” warned that “empathy helps prop up Republicans and Trumpists as legitimate and normal political actors,” and urged Democrats to adopt a “callous, perhaps, but short of cruel” tone — even suggesting they say, “I’m sorry his family is suffering. I wish his message would die with him.” In an article titled “Charlie Kirk and the Empathy Trap” — with the subhead, “Democrats will never be as cruel as Republicans after a political assassination. That’s to...

Oct 24, 2024 #trump #harris #fascist With twelve days to go before the United States presidential election, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are seeking the vote of the elusive undecided voter. That is getting harder and harder, as there are fewer and fewer people left who have not made up theri minds. A story by Matthew-Mary Caruchet #fascist #trump #harris

While everyone was focused on Charlie Kirk’s assassination this Democrat judge in North Carolina ordered Iryna Zarutka’s murderer Decarlos Brown to be released from prison. They are trying to make sure he doesn’t even go to trial and is set free.

As editors and reporters in the Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ newsroom geared up for President Trump’s proclamation earlier this month that he intended to send the National Guard to Chicago, we asked ourselves: How could we possibly cover the deployment of troops and more ICE agents if the operation was large and dispersed? One avenue? Engage the public. (As we published this story, Trump announced that he would be sending the National Guard to Memphis instead. The administration’s anti-immigration operation in Chicago continues.) So interactive developer Andjela Padejski and Chicago Public Media’s AI fellow Mark Chonofsky got to work on a...

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the American media landscape, Fox News personalities Jeanine Pirro and Tyrus have fired a warning shot at the country’s legacy networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC—declaring an all-out “war” that’s as much about influence as it is about ratings. The campaign, fueled by a staggering $2 billion war chest, isn’t merely a battle for viewers; it’s a fight for the soul of American discourse as the nation barrels toward the 2025 election. The War Begins: Fox News Goes Nuclear The drama unfolded in a series of televised segments and behind-the-scenes strategy sessions that quickly leaked...

On today's Morning Joe, MSNBC analyst and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius admitted that the people on the boat that the U.S. military fired on in the Caribbean "were associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. I'm sure they're terrible people doing despicable crimes." And while he first said that they "appear to have been drug smugglers," he later flatly described them as "drug smugglers." Even so, Ignatius suggested that members of the military should consider disobeying the orders of President Trump, the Commander-in-Chief, to fire on such boats.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

President Donald Trump threatened Illinois's biggest city with a 'Chipocalypse' ahead of expected Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Trump, 79, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday to post a meme about himself, where he wrote: 'I love the smell of deportations in the morning. 'Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR.' Trump rebranded the Pentagon to the Department of War this week. The White House reposted it on X with three helicopter emojis. Governor JB Pritzker responded to Trump's post on X, writing: 'The President of the United States is...

(NewsNation) — Illinois lawmakers hoping to learn more about a looming large-scale federal operation targeting Chicago were denied access to Department of Homeland Security officials on Friday in what one senior U.S. Senator described as a “terrible act of political theater” by the Trump administration. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., along with Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Illinois Rep. Brad Schneider, another Democrat, visited Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago, hoping to learn more about the upcoming mission, which some local officials said could last up to six weeks, Durbin said at a news confernece. Durbin said that DHS officials...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela the right to live and work in the United States. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco for the plaintiffs means 600,000 Venezuelans whose temporary protections expired in April or whose protections were about to expire Sept. 10 have status to stay and work in the United States. It also keeps protections for about 500,000 Haitians. Chen scolded Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for revoking protections...

…and start crying into their beer.That’s what happened over at NBC “News.” A dozen -- anonymous -- federal judges, appointed by both Republican and Democrat presidents, went whining to NBC about how hurt their feelings are that SCOTUS keeps overturning their garbage activist rulings and how it makes them look bad and gosh golly gee can SCOTUS knock it off pleeeeeeeez?The content of the piece is remarkable for its immaturity. The simple fact that they felt compelled to do this is itself indicative of a lack of impulse control and unworthiness to hold a gavel. They clearly lack the judicial...

A far-left federal judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatening to kill President Trump. Earlier this week a DC grand jury declined to indict Edward Dana after he was arrested damaging a light fixture at a DC restaurant. Dana also allegedly threatened to kill President Trump and the DC Metro officer who arrested him. .... Snip.... Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui on Thursday screamed from the bench and blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing to dismiss the case. The judge also apologized to the defendant who threatened kill...

In a bonkers, incredibly irresponsible speech given in the wake of news that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to his city to crack down on illegal immigration and thousands of National Guard troops could be deployed to crack down on crime, as is currently ongoing in DC, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to rise up and defend itself against President Trump. As background, the fury from Johnson began with President Trump, commenting on the situation in DC and where will be next, saying, “To me, D.C. is very exciting and a lot of people say, ‘Whoa,...

A federal appeals court late Tuesday ruled President Trump can’t invoke a wartime law to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, a key legal tool the administration has used to implement its immigration crackdown. Trump first invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in March to remove Venezuelans the administration accuses of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang. Tuesday’s ruling blocks Trump from using the law against migrants detained in northern parts of Texas, and the battle could now return to the Supreme Court. The divided 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found no “invasion” or “predatory incursion”...

Bobby Nunez, a tow truck driver in Los Angeles, is under arrest for towing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle during an enforcement operation in mid-August. Bill Essayli, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, announced his arrest Monday morning for theft of government property. Nunez is facing up to ten years in federal prison. How it started vs. How it’s going ARRESTED: Bobby Nunez is now under arrest for brazenly towing an ICE vehicle. He is charged with theft of government property. Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations....

Proving yet again that the Democrat train has jumped its tracks, far-left Representative John Larson of Connecticut compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to Nazis. The narrative that enforcing federal immigration law resembles Nazi Germany has become a key narrative among Democrats. Illegal aliens are key constituents, and someday, Democrats hope, voters. So Larson joins the long line of crackpot Democrats — Boston Mayor Michelle and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz among them — who can’t stand to see those future voters deported. Larson represents the norm in the Democrat party: pro-illegal alien, but anti-federal immigration law.Days ago, for instance, he...

“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads, in everybody’s heads in this country.” The People’s Conference for Palestine, held in Troy, Michigan, this past weekend, was billed as a grassroots gathering of Palestinian activists and their allies. But behind the carefully packaged language of “liberation,” the rhetoric captured in multiple clips from the conference reveals an alarming mix of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism—messaging that seeks to delegitimize the United States itself while demonizing Israel and its supporters. The clips, shared by Twitter/X user @thestustustudio (Stu Smith), expose the raw...

The Trump administration says they were sending illegal alien Guatemalan children back to their home country at the request of their parents and the government of the Central American country. Immigration advocacy groups say the administration was conducting illegal deportation operations in the middle of the night. Whoever is correct, the planes are grounded for now after a Biden-appointed judge issued a temporary restraining order Sunday—even as kids were already sitting in their seats.The emergency order by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan froze a pilot program the administration said would reunite nearly 700 kids with parents or guardians in Guatemala.By...

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Saturday afternoon aimed at holding federal law enforcement in the city to municipal rules on policing while also keeping tabs on new deployments and informing citizens of their rights. The order, the “Protecting Chicago Initiative,” comes after the Chicago Sun-Times first reported that Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago was being considered as a possible staging ground for an immigration blitz that could bring more than 200 federal agents to the area from Tuesday to Sept. 30. On Saturday night, two sources familiar with base operations confirmed to the Sun-Times that the...
