Scenes of chaos unfolded in Minneapolis on Wednesday night as rioters flooded the streets to protest the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city. The unrest quickly escalated into dangerous territory, forcing ICE agents to abandon multiple vehicles. In the chaos, sensitive personal information was stolen and left scattered across city streets. One independent reporter who was present during the unrest said he was able to intercept “most” of the personal information stolen by rioters; however, it remains unclear how much sensitive information may still be in their possession. In one alarming incident, rioters broke into...

The FBI recently released a major update confirming the arrest of a woman named Brenna Marie Doyle. The Spokane woman was taken into custody after she allegedly left three voicemail messages threatening to murder an agent, as well as his wife and child. According to prosecutors, she stole the agent’s identity card during a January riot that resulted in damage to a vehicle. Doyle’s threats were reportedly directed at the officer’s family as retaliation for official duties he had carried out in Minnesota. Later, the agency confirmed the arrest in a detailed post on X. It read, “Threatening an FBI...

MADISON, Wis. -- A report on damage to the Wisconsin Capitol that came following weeks of protests will not include any estimate of how much any repairs will cost. The restoration expert working on the report told The Associated Press on Thursday that what he submits to the state Department of Administration will only describe the damage done and the number of hours it would take to fix it, not the cost. Charles Quagliana said it will be up to DOA to provide the actual cost of repairs, which could include additional hours of work beyond his recommendation expected Monday....

The @FBI and partners have arrested Georgio James-Jones out of Minneapolis - the individual who allegedly destroyed federal property and smashed windows attempting to breach the Minneapolis Courthouse in recent days. As we’ve said repeatedly - if you attack law enforcement, impede their operations, or engage in violent destructive behavior, this FBI will find you and bring you to justice. Great work @FBIMinneapolis.

Several monuments on the Gettysburg Battlefield were recently defaced with oil, resulting in costly damage, according to park officials. In a release issued Friday, Jan. 9, 2025, the National Park Service at the Gettysburg National Military Park shared that several monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield had been "defaced with oil-based substances." "While possibly intended as symbolic or ritualistic, the damage is real and lasting," the release stated, adding that "porous stone absorbs oil deeply, making stains nearly impossible to remove."

Democrats seem to think that laws and policies they don’t like can be thwarted by an angry mob or an insurrectionist governor. Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left. In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National...

The deranged hammer-wielding vandal who busted several windows at Vice President JD Vance’s home in Cincinnati is allegedly the son of a prominent millionaire family — and appears to have been going by “Julia” in recent weeks. William DeFoor, 26, was arrested early Monday after allegedly shattering four windows at Vance’s home. Police said that DeFoor was attempting to break into the home around midnight.

A Chicago-area church has updated its already controversial nativity scene following damage from vandalism and inclement weather, removing Joseph, the father of Jesus, and replacing him with a memorial to those who have been affected by raids and arrests conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Lake Street Church of Evanston, Illinois, made headlines earlier this holiday season with a nativity scene that depicts baby Jesus as lying in a manger with his hands zip-tied together. The infant is wrapped in what appears to be an emergency blanket. Mary and Joseph are standing near the manger wearing gas...

Over a decade ago, Google showed off a pair of smart spectacles called Google Glass, sparking a major ethical debate over wearables being used to covertly film people without their permission. At the time, the outrage was enshrined by the derogatory neologism “glasshole,” meaning a Google Glass wearer who was accused of having little regard for the privacy of those around them. A seeming eternity later, Meta has attempted to revive the idea with its Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While it’s arguably a significant technological leap over Google’s early forays, the debate has seemingly remained the same. Case in point, as...

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is in the news once again. As usual, she’s making national headlines for the wrong reasons. Italian authorities have fined and banned Thunberg from Venice, Italy after she was part of a group that dumped green dye in the Grand Canal. Fox News reported more on Thunberg’s actions: Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports. The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action,...

A teen hurled water at two renowned centuries-old paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and ripped tapestries off the wall in a bizarre tantrum, authorities and law-enforcement sources said Tuesday.

Vandalism in the nave: more corruption at Canterbury CathedralThe Dean of Canterbury wanted to provoke a reaction with graffiti – and he succeeded. British Christians were distraught at the vandalism of England’s oldest cathedral, but the “art” also invited comment from across the pond, with Vance, Cruz, and Musk all voicing disapproval. The question many are rightly asking is: why wound, disturb, disorder, disrupt, and pollute a sacred space?Before we examine this question, let us look at the wider historical dimension of Catholic cathedrals in the hands of curating Protestants. For the Anglican Church has form — golf courses, helter-skelters,...

A graduate student at Illinois State University has been arrested after he was caught on camera toppling a Turning Point USA table. The vandal, who has been identified as 27-year-old Derek Lopez, was seen confronting student members of the conservative organization at the school as they were promoting YouTuber and comedian Alex Stein's October 20 event at the university. 'Well you know, Jesus did it, so you know I gotta do it right?' Lopez, wearing bright red pants and a red flannel with his hair up in a bun, could be seen telling one of the student activists. He then...

Imagine a world without McDonald’s, Nike, or Kraft Foods. A world where the budget-conscious and time-strapped have nowhere to grab a quick bite, where almost no one drives a car, where television is extinct. Sound pretty bleak? This is the utopian vision of the Adbusters Media Foundation. “We will wreck this world,” Kalle Lasn declares in his book Culture Jam: How to Reverse America's Suicidal Consumer Binge -- and Why We Must. That, quite simply, is the goal of the Vancouver-based organization he founded and runs. A self-described group of “anarchists” and “neo-Luddites,” Adbusters are not merely environmentalists, animal-rights activists,...

Surrounded by lush forest and built around a historic ship port, Prince Rupert could easily be the picture on a postcard. But this Canadian coastal town is now so dangerous Walmart has closed its local supermarket due to fears for staff safety. The only Walmart within a 144km radius, the budget supermarket is a lifeline for many of the low-income residents in the town, and will be a huge loss for families. Nestled between the Great Bear Rainforest and the Skeena River, the town of 12,000 has become an unlikely breeding ground for crime, drugs and homelessness. Local business owners...
