First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas," Patel noted on X.

One of the perplexing aspects of the American character is how, despite our many domestic challenges, we like to import the world’s thorny issues into our political debates. This is not a critique of discussing such problematic issues, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict. It is a celebration of, and a clarion call for, the First Amendment’s recognition and protection of the God-given right of free speech (which, as I have asserted previously, is implicitly a recognition and protection of the God-given right to the freedom of conscience).
What makes this possible is a citizen’s understanding and performance of their duty—an ethical and a legal one, as a matter of fact—
Following reports of former New York Times editor and the Free Press founder Bari Weiss being appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News, editors on Wikipedia began negatively slanting her page and those of CBS and the Free Press. This includes attempting to label Weiss as right-wing and slanted edits about a CBS settlement with President Donald Trump. Some suggested blacklisting CBS as a source in the future. News about Weiss being appointed to leadership at CBS News first emerged on October 2 with the official announcement on October 6. The newly-merged parent company Paramount Skydance further announced its purchase of her Free Press outlet.
The New York Times apparently thought better of the original headline gracing its ostensibly straight-news coverage of the blowback that followed when New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani encountered, for perhaps the first time, an issue relating to Israeli security on which he had no opinion: the necessity of Hamas’s disarmament.
“Mamdani Faces Islamophobic attacks After Comments About Hamas,” read the original headline of Emma Fitzsimmons’s article. Subsequently, Mamdani faced only unspecified “attacks” that were presumably as vague as his “comments” about the barbarous terrorist sect.
The Times would have been better off scrubbing the item entirely. It is about as deliberately ...
How did California manage to spend $24 billion in taxpayer money to address homelessness over the past years, only for the problem to get substantially worse?
The state has not offered any explanation since that figure was revealed in a state audit released earlier this year. But the arrest of two California men on Thursday suggests that at least some of the money may have been stolen through fraud.
Cody Holmes, the former chief financial officer at a downtown Los Angeles-based developer of affordable housing, was arrested on a federal criminal complaint charging him with mail fraud. In a separate case, Steven ...
The Trump Administration’s foreign policy successes deserve the applause and support of the American people and their elected representatives. It is unfortunate that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee did not award the President this year’s honor. The achievements include Israel/Gaza, Congo/Rwanda, Thailand/Cambodia, India/Pakistan—and the peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia stands out. It includes the emerging Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), and builds on decades of American and international efforts to resolve the differences between bitter rivals.

Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.
This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest. It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.

Israel received the remains of another hostage from Gaza on Friday, the prime minister’s office said, a handover from Hamas as the militant group worked to shore up a ceasefire by using bulldozers in a search for bodies under the rubble in the war-scarred enclave.
The Israeli military and security forces received the coffin from the International Committee of the Red Cross inside the Gaza Strip, and it was to be sent to the Ministry of Health’s National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel.
Israeli authorities said the family of the deceased would be notified first after a formal identification process.
The handover came after Hamas’ military wing, known as the Qassam Brigades,
The short answer to why both the Biden and Obama administrations failed to achieve peace in the Middle East is that they took actions opposite to President Donald Trump’s current efforts, which have led to a cease-fire.
First, consider Iran.
Iran was flush with cash, on a trajectory toward a nuclear weapon and arming Israel’s “ring of fire” enemies: Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
The radical Islamic world of the Middle East was convinced that Israel would be doomed eventually.
Yet both Democratic administrations let Iran profit from oil sales. They talked of delaying, but not ending, Iran’s nuclear program. And they feared that Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis were indomitable terrorist threats.
Thus,

President Donald Trump on Friday called on Kyiv and Moscow to “stop where they are” and end their brutal war following a lengthy White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Trump’s frustration with the conflict has surfaced repeatedly in the nine months since he returned to office, but with his latest comments he edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia.
“Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts,” Trump said in a Truth Social post not long after hosting Zelenskyy and his team for more than two hours of talks.

George Santos released from prison: ‘Have
a great life!’ 19 replies
President Trump commuted serial fabulist and former GOP Rep. George Santos’ seven-year prison sentence on Friday, citing “horrible” mistreatment by the Bureau of Prisons and claiming Santos’ unlawful conduct was not nearly as bad as the fibs of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
In a late afternoon Truth Social post, the president stated: “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” Santos, 36, sobbed in court during his sentencing after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in August.
The drug cartels basically said out loud this week that they want war. They might just get one.
Before we get to war and other niceties, here's why they might have just opened a can of military-grade whoop-a** directly into their own faces. Bugs Bunny has been a hero of mine for so long that I can't remember a time when he wasn't. All Bugs ever really wanted to do was enjoy his (surprisingly posh) digs and indulge in a perfectly crafted carrot stew. He never sought out trouble, but when it came for him, he came back ready to fight — and never lost his cool or wit.

If the X platform hadn't been messing with my algorithms of late, I might have missed this. But thanks to Elon Musk’s sometimes quirky social media platform, I was treated this afternoon to non-stop reposts from leftists all featuring the same 20-second clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Fox News. This clip is blowing up my feed, and all of the posters are outraged Democrats.The clip was brought to us by none other than Aaron Rupar, who has a reputation for sitting at his computer all day looking for conservative media hits to take out of context and post to social media.

There have been countless examples of liberalism being a mental disorder. Here is another one: Two researchers from Western Michigan University have written a paper [snip] The paper argues that intentionally spreading alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat, could be not only morally defensible, but perhaps even necessary, in order to reduce animal suffering and combat climate change. Here are the authors, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, in their own words: Because promoting tickborne AGS prevents something bad from happening, doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, it follows that promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto (‘to that extent’) morally obligatory.
A notoriously violent two-block stretch of Brooklyn is fighting crime — by keeping uniformed cops away, The Post has learned. NYPD officials agreed to turn a sliver of Brownsville in the NYPD’s 73rd Precinct into a “police free zone” last week as part of an city-funded experiment called the Brownsville Safety Alliance that initially was only twice a year but now runs four times annually. And it’s an initiative that’s received praise from anti-cop, mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, an official with the group that runs it told The Post.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will face a primary challenge in 2026 from Scott Wiener, a leather-wearing state lawmaker who is a “drag queen advocate” and has already raised $1 million for his campaign.
Wiener, who has represented San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area in the California Senate since 2016, had previously said he would wait until Pelosi, 85, retired to run for her long-held congressional seat, but multiple outlets reported on Friday that the state lawmaker will announce his candidacy for Congress next week. “Scott Wiener for Congress,” the state senator’s congressional campaign committee, was set up in 2023 and reported over

Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani happily campaigned with a popular Brooklyn Imam long known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, whose son once ran a terrorist camp for kids. The Democratic nominee appears in a photo posted to X laughing and grinning, standing arm-in-arm with Imam Siraj Wahhaj and City Councilmember Yusef Abdus Salaam at Wahhaj’s Bed-Stuy mosque to celebrate the weekly Muslim prayer. “Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote Friday on X.

Yes, the Nazis Were Socialists

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is quite talented at causing his enemies’ minds to explode. His latest missive on social media this week pointing out that “Nazi socialism” was indeed a form of socialism set off a thousand furiously self-righteous posts. Leaving aside for the moment whether it was wise for Poilievre to make this point, it is neither inaccurate nor misleading to say that Germany’s National Socialist party was “socialist” in much more than name, as much as Poilievre’s left-wing critics want to pretend otherwise.

That President Trump Is Enforcing Immigration Laws 12 replies
Abigail Spanberger is running to be the next Governor of Virginia. As such, she will take an oath to uphold the Constitution and duly enacted laws. That means all laws, even the ones she doesn't like. And it's clear Spanberger doesn't like our immigration laws. She sat down for an interview and said it's "horrifying" that President Trump has made illegally crossing our border a "criminal act." We're not sure how to break this news to Spanberger, but it's always been a criminal act to cross our border illegally. That's what "illegal" means. Spanberger's remarks are revealing for a few reasons.
Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has asked the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) to review what he says is evidence that entities tied to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC)’s EPIC City project violated state and federal securities laws — and to refer the matter back so he can file suit. Paxton called the alleged misconduct “flagrant,” arguing that state law requires a TSSB referral before his office can bring a securities action.
After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” said Attorney General Paxton.
The New Georgia Project was a voter registration and turnout organization founded by Stacey Abrams back in 2013. In theory it was a non-partisan group but in practice it was there to help Democrats win elections by bringing more Black and Latino voters to the polls. But now the group has announced that it will dissolve and will cease to operate this week.
Once one of the most influential political groups in the South, the New Georgia Project is shutting down this week, marking a stunning fall for an organization that pushed to advance Democratic causes for more than a decade.

Congressional Republicans appear to have been the victims of an elaborate setup involving American flags covertly altered with hidden swastikas. We learned that what seemed at first like a shocking display in Rep. Dave Taylor’s (R-Ohio) office — a flag visibly bearing the hateful symbol — was part of an elaborate attempt to sabotage Republicans. Flags went out to multiple GOP offices featuring swastikas hidden in the stripes in a way that was essentially invisible to the naked eye but glaringly apparent on camera. This "optical illusion" technique has allowed the flags to fly under the radar until video calls or photographs capture them, prompting an ongoing Capitol Police investigation.
