Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder criticized FBI Director Kash Patel for posting a photo of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan in handcuffs Friday after she was arrested on federal charges for obstructing ICE efforts to arrest an illegal alien outside her courtroom April 18. Patel posted the photo of the back of Dugan with her hands in cuffs as she was being led away by FBI agents with the message, “No one is above the law.”
Holder accused Patel trying to “trying to maximize intimidation” by violating a Justice Department rule established by Holder restricting the release of photos of federal defendants.
When President Trump put forward his new envoy to combat antisemitism, Rep. Jerrold Nadler urged Senate Democrats “not to provide the Trump Administration with a single vote to confirm Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun.”
Rep. Nadler had opposed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, opposed Trump’s crackdown on campus antisemitism, opposed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, and opposed defunding colleges that tolerate antisemitism.
CAIR, an Islamist group whose leader celebrated the Oct 7 Hamas attacks, praised Rep. Nadler’s opposition to the Antisemitism Awareness Act meant to protect Jewish students from campus Hamas supporters like the ones that the congressman had been defending in 2025.

Donald Trump's combative communications director has issued a blistering, foul-mouthed takedown of a CNN guest after she spoke about the president's weight loss.
Steven Cheung slammed Daily Beast executive Joanna Coles as a '---------' with a 'pea-sized brain' after she speculated that Trump may have taken the weight-loss aide Ozempic during her appearance on Inside Politics.
'CNN had this blithering idiot on Inside Politics from the Daily Beast named Joanna Coles making unsubstantiated claims about President Trump’s health,' Cheung fumed via X on Sunday morning.
Anti-Israel protesters Sunday clashed with cops outside a Brooklyn synagogue where Israel’s embattled security minister was set to speak — with the speech ending up canceled and at least one arrest.
The protest outside Congregation Shaare ZIon on Ocean Parkway turned violent shortly after 9:30 a.m. as NYPD officers and some members of the crowd scuffled while the rowdy mob demonstrated against Sunday’s scheduled speech by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The speech was nixed, and the under-fire minister is now set to return home a day early, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reported.
America’s founding documents are selling at the fastest rate since 2004, when market research firm Circana began keeping track, prompting publishers to plan new editions. The rising civic interest is being attributed, at least in part, to the tumultuous state of America’s political affairs.
The U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers have sold a combined 162,000 copies this year, Circana noted—and that’s only through mid-April. This is 76% higher than the same period in 2017, President Donald Trump’s first term in office, when these documents sold 92,000 copies, more than twice as many as in 2016. Sales totaled 58,000 over the same period
Once again, the failing New York Times is running interference and burying the real story to protect their preferred narrative. An article headlined "Missteps, Equipment Problems and a Common but Risky Practice Led to a Fatal Crash," which is about January's devastating crash at Reagan National Airport, is a textbook example of mainstream media malpractice.
An honest headline would have read, "Helicopter Pilot Ignored Multiple Safety Warnings Before Fatal Crash."
The liberal paper of record spent roughly a thousand words dancing around the obvious truth: A helicopter pilot directly caused this tragedy by ignoring multiple explicit warnings. But that wouldn't fit their preferred story about "systemic failures," would it?

President Donald Trump said Sunday that his tariff policy will substantially reduce, even completely eliminate, income taxes for some American workers.
“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump wrote in a 6:06 a.m. post on Truth Social. “Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.”
Trump continued, “Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!
A second arrest has been made in connection to the theft of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's purse while she was out having lunch on Easter with her family.
Authorities announced that they apprehended the accomplice believed to be tied to the series of thefts in D.C. in Miami on Sunday.
"The individual is believed to be a co-conspirator in those incidents with the primary defendant who is accused of committing a robbery against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem," a spokesperson for the Secret Service shared in a statement.
"Public safety is strongest when built on trust and collaboration," Special Agent in Charge Rafael Barros said. "We are grateful

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has unveiled a new naval destroyer, claiming it as a significant advancement toward his goal of expanding the operational range and preemptive strike capabilities of his nuclear-armed military, state media said Saturday.
North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency said Kim attended the launching ceremony for the 5,000-ton warship on Friday at the western port of Nampo.
Kim framed the arms buildup as a response to perceived threats from the United States and its allies in Asia, who have been expanding joint military exercises amid rising tensions over the North’s nuclear program.
Paramount and representatives of President Trump are scheduled to meet Wednesday before a mediator who will determine the fate of Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS, The Post has learned.
It all comes as Paramount — whose CBS network has been accused of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris to tilt the 2024 election in her favor — is in the middle of closing its $8 billion merger with independent studio Skydance.
The transaction also needs approval from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission. Bringing an end to the lawsuit is seen as a way to expedite the approval process, though it remains unclear how the mediator will rule.
The Trump administration announced this week an opportunity for American artists to create sculptures of historical figures like George Washington, Patrick Henry, Davy Crockett, and other American heroes in celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
The National Endowment for the Humanities announced on Thursday that it would be handing out grants for artists to sculpt one of the 250 American historical figures identified by the Trump administration for placement in a new National Garden of American Heroes.
The garden will provide the public with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how the lives and accomplishments of these individuals have shaped our history and culture,”
A Good Day For The Navy
replies
Has the U.S. grown ashamed of its military victories? There are reasons to believe this is true. In April 1988, the U.S. Navy effectively destroyed the Iranian navy following a mine attack on the destroyer USS Roberts. The Navy sank an Iranian frigate, four armed speedboats, blew up two armed oil platforms, and damaged another frigate in one of the shortest and most successful campaigns of the postwar period. Yet even today, there is no actual name attached to the engagement. It’s known simply as “Operation Praying Mantis,” not the obvious “Battle of the Persian Gulf.”
More recent events can also act as evidence for cynicism toward American feats
A disgraced former Democratic governor attempting a political comeback is cashing in on donations from Big Apple powerbrokers — but it’s not Andrew Cuomo.
Ex-New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey’s bid for Jersey City mayor marks another local former governor trying to make his way back into the political spotlight after resigning amid scandal — and he’s seeking dough from New York City GOP donors and Trump cronies to do it.
The election for Jersey City mayor is supposed to be non-partisan, so McGreevey’s campaign opponent, Jersey City Councilman James Solomon, is blasting McGreevey, a former Democrat, for courting MAGA.

“Hopefully ACTBLUE, the Democrats ILLEGAL SCAM used to raise money, including from not allowed “foreign contributions,” is being looked at by authorities. The Dems only know how to win by CHEATING, something which they do better than any group or party in history. But now, with their terrible policies and candidates, and with people like Crooked Adam Schiff, who demanded a full Pardon from Sleepy Joe, leading the way, it is almost impossible to reach their money goals.

House Republican leaders are considering making some of the key tax benefits that President Donald Trump promised on the 2024 campaign trail only temporary policies in the reconciliation bill that's currently being crafted. A "sunset" period of four years is under consideration for policies such as eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay, Just the News has learned.
The move has drawn criticism from a budget watchdog group, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which has described the possibility of scoring certain tax benefits as temporary rather than permanent to estimate the full cost of the package as "manipulation" that wouldn't show the true cost.
Racist wackjob Joy Reid recently went on a racist rant, crediting White people for the fall of Rome, suggesting that Whites will be responsible for the United States’ collapse, and embracing Great Replacement.
Someone should tell Reid, who apparently flunked history class, that the fall of the Roman Empire had several causes, none of them being a lack of diversity. One cause, however, is believed to be non-citizens, their inability to assimilate into Roman culture, and Rome’s DEI policies that welcomed immigrants to serve in the military.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, working in conjunction with local law enforcement in Florida, have arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants across the state in the past four days, the agency announced on April 26.
While ICE has routinely conducted immigration enforcement operations throughout the United States, the agency referred to Florida’s effort, dubbed Operation Tidal Wave, as a “first-of-its-kind” effort pairing federal immigration authorities with state and local law enforcement resources.
In their April 26 press statement, ICE pitched other law enforcement agencies on the idea of working with the agency, linking to a page promoting the 287(g) program.
As I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, Michiganian Congressman John James is seeking the Republican nomination to run for governor in November of 2026. He announced this decision a couple of weeks back and has been lining up endorsements and touring the state.James sat down with the Detroit News to answer some questions about what he would like to do as governor, and also what Donald Trump will announce this Tuesday when he is in Michigan. Of course, the question that was asked was something I mentioned could happen in an article a couple of weeks ago, when James first announced he was running.
On Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress.
Host Dana Bash said, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”
An Iraqi man was the first immigrant the U.S. deported to Rwanda in a new supposed Trump administration arrangement.
The U.S. deported Omar Abdulsattar Ameen earlier this month, after he lived in the U.S. since at least 2014, when he was granted refugee status, Reuters reported Thursday.
The Handbasket, an independent news outlet, broke the story after publishing a U.S. State Department cable detailing the new deportation program.
Under the supposed agreement, Rwanda would serve as a “Third Party Nation” receiving immigrants whom the U.S. couldn’t deport to their home countries.
Ameen was the first to be deported in this new agreement, but at least 10 more immigrants are expected to go
House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries was in Denmark yesterday trashing the United States. It’s a new America since Barack Obama where our own officials travel abroad to undermine our government.
He insulted President Trump’s efforts to make tariffs fair, and presented Democrats as the only ones standing up for American values. He suggested everyone is upset with the President’s agenda. It didn’t stop there.
“We’re dealing with a very, different America. We’re dealing with constituents who are understandably concerned at the unprecedented events that we’ve seen unfold,” Jeffries said. He is undermining President Trump’s efforts to get trade deals.
How about talking about something other than district judges and injunctions? Yes, I’m angry about that, too. But today let’s remember one spring day in Dodger Stadium,* when they used to play day games. We remember Rick Monday, a pretty good outfielder who played for the A’s, Cubs, and Dodgers. His best years were with the Cubs (1972–76), when he hit 106 home runs and was a very tough out. Later he moved to the L.A. Dodgers and hit a 9th-inning home run to beat Montreal in the 1981 NLCS.
However, his greatest baseball moment had nothing to do with hits or home runs.
The U.S. Department of State is warning tourists to be on the lookout, as cartel violence continues to spike in the busy beach resort area of Los Cabos. The violence not only includes shootings and targeted killings, but also style attacks on city buses where gunmen have been setting them on fire despite their being full of passengers.
The violence began earlier in the week with multiple killings throughout the Mexican state of Baja California. The incidents include targeted attacks on the police. The violence is linked to the ongoing turf war between rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel — mainly the Chapitos and Mayos.
New details about the fatal helicopter-plane crash near DC’s Reagan Airport reveal the female pilot was repeatedly ignored warnings from her male co-pilot to turn away but she flew right into the passenger jet.
An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) in late January.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed.
The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.
A preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.
According to NBC News, at the time of the collision,
In Colorado Springs, early Sunday Morning, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officers swooped down on an "underground nightclub," seizing drugs, weapons, and at least 100 illegal aliens. It's unclear what an "underground nightclub" is, but it's a safe bet it didn't have a liquor license.
There were over 200 people in the club at the time of the raid.
More than 100 people reported to be in the country illegally were detained in a raid at a nightclub early Sunday morning, according to Drug Enforcement Administration officials.
The Rocky Mountain division of the DEA reported the multi-agency enforcement operation on X around 4 a.m.
Anchoring from the Vatican for her Friday show ahead of Pope Francis’s Saturday funeral, MSNBC’s Chris Jansing was not just content to portray Francis as a pope of the people; she had to mix in former President Joe Biden as well by praising his “empathy” and love of Amtrak. The fact that Francis would rebuke Biden for his abortion beliefs, to her, just made their relationship even better.
During her report, Jansing declared, “To understand Biden, those closest to him say you must understand his lifelong connection to his Roman Catholic faith, but also what is perhaps his unlikely connection with Pope Francis.”

I don’t understand how people can become so shameless. How does one’s ego get so big that refusing to apologize is considered an acceptable course of action? How dense does the bubble have to be? The liberal media gathered in the nation’s capital for ‘nerd prom,’ also known as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where the lead outlets that form the state propaganda apparatus for the Democratic Party gather to congratulate themselves for being biased clowns. (snip)But we had Associated Press reporters touting their phantom nonpartisan roots last night and a passionate war cry that journalists are not the enemies of the people or the state.
Democrats seem to think the way to go after the Trump administration is to attack their moves regarding illegal aliens. But that's one of the areas where he has the most approval. Instead, it's Democrats attaching themselves to 80/20 issues on the 20 side, as they're doing in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the arrest of the judge in Wisconsin for allegedly helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
Now there's another case that's making the media rounds. You may have seen the headlines blaring about a two-year-old American citizen being deported. The judge in the case raised questions about "due process" --
President Trump vowed to bring back Columbus Day “from the ashes” in a fiery social media post where he railed against backlash to the controversial European explorer whom the holiday honors.
“I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much.“They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but ‘WOKE,’ or even worse, nothing at all! Well, you’ll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback.

With President Donald Trump making the deportation of illegal immigrants a priority on Day One, Democrats have been relentless in trying to undercut his policies on deportations by way of the courts as well as the court of public opinion.
In recent weeks, in particular, the left, their activist groups, and the mainstream media have all hammered Trump over the deportation of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member who was deported to his home country of El Salvador back in March.
Because Abrego Garcia has been incorrectly described as a "wrongly deported Maryland man," Democrats have made him their poster child for opposition to Trump's deportation policies.
President Trump attended the funeral of Pope Francis, who passed away last week at the age of 88. The Holy Father had been in ill health. Yet, the media is attacking the president for his choice of suit; supposedly, it was supposed to be dark or black. Whatever the case, the ‘fashion faux pas’ spread like a brushfire (via NYT):
President Trump, it seems, is fully committed to going his own way when it comes to international relations — even during the funeral of a pope.
On Saturday, as he joined other world leaders to pay his respects to Pope Francis,
The Federal Reserve is pushing ahead with an eye-watering $2.5 billion revamp of its Washington, D.C. HQ despite mounting losses as one ex-official accused its bureaucrats of behaving like French royalty over their frivolous spending.
The glorified vanity project, first rubber-stamped by government pen-pushers in 2021, is now effectively being subsidized by American taxpayers because the Fed has not made a profit since 2022.
“The Federal Reserve is building the Palace of Versailles on the National Mall,” said Andrew T. Levin, professor of economics at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, referring to the long-deposed French monarchy’s official residence just outside Paris.
I'm not really sure if Donald Trump is the luckiest man on earth, is blessed by Divine Providence, or is an unparalleled political genius. I suspect the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia demonstrates a combination of all three.
Think about this: Democratic political leaders, political strategists and social media influencers have made a cause célèbres of an alleged wife-beating, suspected human trafficking, illegal alien judicially-determined MS-13 gang member that the Trump administration deported back to his home country of El Salvador, but whom Democrats demand be returned to the United States.
Let that sink in.
Judges Behaving Like Criminals

They didn’t “make a mistake.”
They didn’t “misunderstand the law.”
They didn’t “exercise poor judgment.”
No—New Mexico Judge Joel M. Cano, Massachusetts Judge Shelley Richmond, and Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan made conscious, deliberate, and premeditated decisions to aid criminals, obstruct law enforcement, and desecrate the very system they were sworn to uphold.
In just a few days' time, these three black-robed offenders committed what can only be described as acts of judicial treason against the American people.
And make no mistake: holding them fully accountable isn’t merely an option—it’s an absolute necessity.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) just can’t help himself. Instead of addressing legitimate concerns about sexually explicit books being made available to kids in school libraries, he’s back to doing what he does best: deflecting and blaming Republicans. Weighing in on the Mahmoud v. Taylor Supreme Court case, Schiff absurdly claimed that it’s the GOP turning “LGBT or trans youth” into a political issue.
It’s the same tired playbook we’ve seen from the Left time and time again: Parents raise valid concerns about their children being exposed to sexually explicit material in public schools and libraries, and the response from Democrats is to smear them as bigots.
The typically euphemistic language of politics is increasingly being replaced by profanity as the midterms loom and Democrat candidates are dropping F-bombs and other expletives in their ads and appearances.
The trend is not limited to campaigning. Certain words such as “ass” and “pi***d,” previously unheard for decades in the stodgy Capitol, are making their appearance in speeches on the floors of Congress.

The easiest time for an ugly guy to get a new girlfriend is when he already has an old one.

Ask any group of ugly guys, and they’ll tell you: They’ll go half-a-year without any luck — nothing but rejections and bad dates — but the moment they get a new girlfriend, they’re suddenly flooded with options. Now that they’re taken, all the hot women are coming out of the woodwork.
(As a fellow ugly guy, I gotta say, it’s REALLY annoying.)
An off-duty cop driving a neon-green BMW with the license plate “SHEEESH’’ was shot in an apparent ambush in Queens on Sunday, law-enforcement sources said.
Two men were taken into custody after the shooting at the intersection of 31st Road and 21st Street in Astoria around 6:30 a.m., where authorities found the 25-year-old NYPD officer suffering from a graze wound to his leg, sources told The Post.
Photos showed the off-duty cop’s BMW M4 coupe with a bullet hole in its front windshield.
The injured officer, who was not immediately identified, was taken to a nearby hospital and listed in stable condition.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson was recognized on Saturday by the White House Correspondents Association, receiving the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence for his work in exposing how President Joe Biden’s “cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job — information the White House tried to conceal.”

News from Cambridge that they may have detected biochemical signatures on a relatively nearby exoplanet has altered the solution probabilities to the Fermi paradox. The New York Times writes that “a team of researchers is offering what it contends is the strongest indication yet of extraterrestrial life, not in our solar system but on a massive planet, known as K2-18b, that orbits a star 120 light-years from Earth.

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that Trump administration officials could be arrested for “interfering with a legal proceeding” or “kidnapping.”
Raskin said, “I regard it very much within the prism of what we’ve been dealing with over the last month, which is an intense assault on judicial independence. They have been disobeying federal court orders systematically. They have incurred criminal contempt findings in the courtroom of Judge Boasberg, a conservative Republican, a judge.

The U.S. Constitution is a political masterpiece. The ideas of limited government enshrined therein, with its system of checks and balances, its federalist structure, and its Bill of Rights, is responsible for more freedom and prosperity, not just in America but worldwide, than any other document other than the Bible.
The Constitution only had two glaring flaws. The first was the reluctant tolerance of slavery, which was eventually corrected by the 13th Amendment (and a civil war). The second was a lack of restraint on the powers of the judiciary. There are mechanisms for the legislative and executive branches to check each other, but nothing with which to check the judiciary

Authorities have reportedly arrested an illegal alien after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse was stolen from a Washington, DC, restaurant over the Easter weekend.

The Post article said the identity of the suspect who is in custody was not immediately available to the public.
During the UCLA Hamas riots, it was routine for the terrorist supporters to mace and assault Jewish community members and students. And for campus security to refuse to intervene, take down evidence or call the police.
The media covered up the situation.
And even those who were actually arrested after weeks of this are getting a pass.
The City Attorney’s Office received over 300 referrals from arrests made during the mass protests on the campuses of UCLA and USC in April and May, 2024, and declined to file criminal charges on most of the referrals.
Three others will be referred to informal prosecutorial proceedings.
At least 11 people are confirmed dead — including “very young people” — after a crazed driver sped an SUV through revelers at a Vancouver block party, officials confirmed.
The suspect — a still unidentified 30-year-old man from Vancouver — was “known” to law enforcement after a “significant” history with police interactions, and was also well known to health-care professionals related to mental health,” interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai told reporters Sunday. In addition to the dead, dozens more are injured after the Saturday attack at the celebration for Filipino Lapu Lapu Day, and police cautioned that more victims could succumb to their injuries.

My Administration will ensure that any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and
The media meltdown over the Trump administration’s restructuring of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division tells you all you need to know: it’s a necessary and overdue correction. NBC News and other outlets are breathlessly reporting that Trump’s team, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has reoriented the Civil Rights Division to focus on issues like keeping men out of women's sports, ending radical indoctrination in K-12 education, and defending Americans, including Christians, against discrimination. The professional left is calling it a “bloodbath.” Former bureaucrats are lamenting that the division has been “completely refocused.” Good. That’s the point.

The government doesn’t just directly charge Americans in taxes—it also imposes a hidden tax that makes everything more expensive, according to a new report.
The federal government doesn’t just pass laws in Congress. Each year, many of the 438 federal agencies—nominally under the president’s control through the executive branch—publish tens of thousands of pages in regulations, red tape that increases the costs of business, transportation, and many other factors Americans often don’t consider.
This imposes a kind of hidden tax that makes everything more expensive. It also justifies the work of the Department of Government Efficiency and other efforts to streamline the federal government, according to Clyde Wayne Crews,
The White House celebrated first lady Melania Trump’s 55th birthday with a series of photos spotlighting some of the highlights of her time at the White House.
Melania, a Catholic, and President Trump had spent much of her birthday in Rome on Saturday to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Vatican City before giving each other a parting kiss and splitting up at Newark airport later in the day.
Neither Melania nor the president marked the occasion on social media, but the White House spotlighted 20 photos of the first lady.

Even as talks progress and President Donald Trump says there is hope for a deal, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky made clear he rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal to recognise Russia’s occupation of Crimea as a price of peace, saying the Ukrainian constitution calls for nothing less than absolute victory.
This week, President Donald Trump said in interview with Time Magazine that one of the ultimate outcomes of the war will be that “Crimea will stay with Russia”, and later that a deal was close, with Ukraine and Russia needing now to meet in person in negotiations for the first time to “finish it off”.
A supposed journalist often featured on the BBC’s Arabic channel reportedly praised Hamas terrorists and called for Jewish people to be burned “like Hitler did”.
Samer Elzaenen, 33, a regular contributor who reports from the Gaza Strip for BBC Arabic, has been found to have a long history of anti-semitic posts online, according to The Telegraph.
In a post from 2011, Elzaenen reportedly wrote on Facebook: “My message to the Zionist Jews: We are going to take our land back, we love death for Allah’s sake, the same way you love life. We shall burn you as Hitler did, but this time we won’t have a single one of you left.”
In a groundbreaking joint effort, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Miami and Florida law enforcement agencies arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants during the first four days of Operation Tidal Wave, a massive, multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown.
Fox News obtained information on some of the ICE arrests from the ongoing operation, which include a convicted Colombian murderer, alleged MS-13 and 18th Street gang members and a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for manslaughter.
Jose Sanchez Reyes, a Colombian illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. as a getaway, was convicted of homicide in his home country.

Judges lately often exhibit acute cases of TDS. One in Milwaukee was preparing to preside over the trial of an illegal who’d been charged with domestic abuse. In layman’s language, that’s wife beating. Federal agents showed up outside the judge’s courtroom with a warrant to arrest the man, presumably to deport him.
The judge stalled the agents for a bit by sending them down the hall, then returned to the courtroom. While the agents were away, she spirited the wife-beating illegal out the side door.
State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment.
The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.
Gov. Evers’s directive warns state employees
Joe Biden’s appearance at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday caused as a stir as the 82-year-old former president showed significant signs of physical deterioration, even requiring significant assistance just to navigate a short flight of stairs at the Vatican.
In a telling moment that validates the concerns many of us had about his fitness for office, Biden was seen desperately clutching the arm of an elderly priest while also relying on his wife, Jill, for support. The scene would have been comical if it weren't so concerning—here was a man who, just last year, was insisting he could handle another four years as leader of the free world,

Another week where America turns its attention to a rotten judiciary which is fast erasing any respect we once had for it.
As the prior outrageous injunctions by numbers of (judge shopped) District Courts make their way up the judicial ladder, even more of them were issued this week. I think everything the President has done is the object of at least one District Court injunction. In the meantime, corruption of the judiciary has become so overt that two judges were placed under arrest this week.
The case that particularly caught my attention this week unsurprisingly is once again from the District of Columbia.
Throughout Friday and Saturday, President Donald Trump has been posting to his Truth Social account regarding his presence in Rome for Pope Francis' funeral, as well as a desire for peace between Russia and Ukraine. Trump even met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while at St. Peter's Basilica. Since that meeting, Trump has posted more so about the need for peace, not just when it comes to sharing a photo of the meeting, but also some strong words for The New York Times as he issued a reminder to the outlet and one writer in particular.
Former President Barack Obama was spotted going out to dinner with his daughters in Los Angeles on Saturday night — but former first lady Michele Obama was nowhere to be found as rumors of marriage problems continue to swirl. (Photo) Obama, 63, with daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, broke bread at upscale Japanese restaurant Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard, which has been a favorite of the family since at least 2022, according to images of the dinner.

A massive explosion and fire rocked a port Saturday in southern Iran purportedly linked to a shipment of a chemical ingredient used to make missile propellant, killing 18 people and injuring around 800 others. Helicopters and aircraft dumped water from the air on the raging fire through the night into Sunday morning at the Shahid Rajaei port. The explosion occurred just as Iran and the United States met Saturday in Oman for the third round of negotiations over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged that ''our security services are on high alert given past instances of attempted sabotage and assassination operations
Joe and Jill Biden traveled to Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis at the Vatican on Saturday morning.
The funeral service for Pope Francis was held at St. Peter’s in Rome on Saturday as world leaders gathered.
Pope Francis died at the age of 88 in his residence at Casa Santa Marta.
Pope Francis’ death certificate, released by the Vatican, stated that he passed away in his residence due to a cerebral stroke, followed by coma and irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse.
The White House released a video that encourages illegal aliens in the United States to self-deport, and it showed several messages from President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem warning them to either self-deport or risk deportation the hard way.
In the video posted to X by the White House account, a person can be seen laying on a couch while watching messages from Trump, Noem, and Border Czar Tom Homan. The song, Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver can be heard playing in the video.

Journalist Sharyl Attkisson shared a study on COVID-19 deaths, and things are not as they seem.
Conservative skeptics were calling for an audit into COVID deaths from the very beginning, certain that things weren’t quite adding up. It was an unpopular position at the time, as the rest of the world was still reeling from the fear and uncertainty of a global pandemic.
Now that we are several years removed, people are finally looking into exactly how COVID deaths were categorized in Greece. [Tweet]
A study published in Scientific Reports reveals that “[i]n Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths,”
An endangered Great White Heron has fully recovered from an emergency surgery after a fisherman pelted it with a rock at Bill Baggs State Park in Key Biscayne, Florida, in January.
The rock broke the bird’s wing and reportedly caused the bird to bleed heavily.
The man who threw the rock, Edgar Estuardo Valenzuela, was arrested after he admitted to the act of animal cruelty, which under Florida law typically carries a punishment of prison time or a hefty fine.
However, when he was discovered to be an illegal alien from Guatemala, police were able to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, by stopping the perpetrator and promptly deporting him.
Pollster Frank Luntz inspired mockery after trying to bait Trump voters into expressing displeasure over their retirement accounts.
As Americans adjust to the effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, it’s clear that some are more focused on the big picture instead of the temporary pain. Luntz learned this firsthand when he questioned 15 supporters of the president about their 401(k) accounts.
Watch: [video]
“I need to ask you an issue that no one’s brought up and has crashed your 401(k)s, most of you, the tariffs,” Luntz said. “The stock market is way down.”
“It needed a correction,” said Sarina from New York.
“Oh, so you support it?” a visibly surprised Luntz asked,
