Hamas is not just at war with Israel. It is at war with Jews, Christians, and the very foundations of civilization itself.... This is not politics, this is a religious war. Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam. If the world does not understand this, everyone will pay the price." — Mosab Hassan Yousef, eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, JNS, August 17, 2025. Notwithstanding peace treaties or a tenuous cessation of hostilities between Israel and its neighbors, much of the Islamic world remains at war with the West, especially with many dedicated activists, such as Qatar, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority in its midst.

Federal immigration authorities arrested multiple people, including illegal vendors and enraged protesters, on Tuesday afternoon in a targeted operation on Canal Street in Manhattan’s Chinatown, authorities and law enforcement sources said. ICE agents descended on the block between Lafayette and Centre Street, which is typically crowded with merchants selling knockoff designer bags and other items, around 4 p.m., according to the sources. Some vendors tried to flee, with some seen running and falling as agents closed in, according to WABC.

Former Biden White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Trump White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “deplorable” during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday. “The View” asked Karine Jean-Pierre to react to a clip of Leavitt and a text exchange she had with a far-left Huffington Post ‘reporter.’ Karine Jean-Pierre echoed Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” insult and called Leavitt “deplorable.” “Any advice for the current press secretary?” Sunny Hostin asked KJP.

We have discussed at length how the EU/NATO intelligence apparatus will do anything to keep U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin in conflict against each other. As a consequence of tracking the datapoints around this issue, these events in Romania and Hungary cannot be perceived as coincidental. Remember, what the EU intelligence apparatus did in Romania to control the election result. Remember also, the largest NATO base is being built in Romania. We understand the EU/NATO (CIA) agenda for Romania with clear eyes.

Jeremy and Jason Hammond, 40, who have rap sheets going back 15 years, were both detained at an anti-ICE protest at a facility in Broadview, Illinois, on September 26 – just four days after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Three conservative activists on the ground in Chicago as well as law enforcement sources said the Hammonds have been front and center at recent anti-ICE protests in the Chicago area, and have been actively doxxing those fighting against leftist school boards and illegal immigration and for the police since 2020.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing the revival of a corporate tax that the Windy City eliminated over a decade ago that businesses are warning would cost the city jobs. Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

Democrats and their allies in the regime media are so desperate to lay a glove on an ascendant President Trump they are actually accusing him (falsely, obviously) of “destroying” the White House when everyone knows that all he’s doing is adding a $250 million ballroom that won’t cost taxpayers a single penny. Everything lunatics on the left have hurled to try to kill Trump as a political force (and literally) has failed. They tried to frame him as a Russian spy. They twice impeached him over nonsense. They tried to throw him in prison for life and bankrupt his business. They smeared him as racist. Finally, on two separate occasions, they

Abigail Spanberger, the Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate, really wants voters to know she has three daughters, and that should scare every Virginia mother and father straight to the polls. The girl mom crosses her heart that she’ll put families first, even though she refuses to pull her endorsement from attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who dreamed of putting bullets in a former Virginia House speaker and watching his children die. Maybe she isn’t talking about putting the speaker’s family first. And even if Virginia kids have been collateral damage as a result of the irresponsible policies she supports — she definitely isn’t talking about putting those families first.

While future guests of the White House will be having a ball in its forthcoming ballroom, for which demolition began on Monday, the massive renovation isn’t the first of its scale at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Since its debut in 1800, and reconstruction in 1817, the presidential residence has seen a number of major facelifts. President Trump’s, of course, is the most recent — and will cost a grand $250 million.

A planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin was put on hold on Tuesday, as Moscow's rejection of an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine cast a cloud over attempts at negotiations. A senior White House official told Reuters "there are no plans for President Trump to meet with President Putin in the immediate future" after Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a "productive call" but opted against an in-person meeting.

After Zohran Mamdani castigated Cuomo for not visiting a mosque, he showed him how it was done by visiting the Al-Taqwa Mosque and posing smilingly with its Jihadist Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Mamdani, running to be the city’s first Muslim mayor, had already visited a great many mosques, some, like the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, already notorious for its support for Hamas and cursing Christians and Jews, but had saved the worst mosque for last. The progressive candidate openly embraced an imam who not only supported terrorism, but had called for the full application of Islamic Sharia law

Liberals tell us 1) that Charlie Kirk had it coming, but 2) hardly any liberals approved of his murder. Both of those assertions are false. At City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s Christina Buttons reminds us of some basic facts. Copious links are omitted: When the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated last month, leaders in both parties condemned the attack, and many mourned the husband and father of two. But some progressives on social media had a different reaction: they rationalized, mocked, and even celebrated the killing. The scale of this reaction was not trivial. An online database logged over 63,000 user-submitted posts that cheered Kirk’s death, though the site

The Trump administration reached a bilateral agreement intended to dissuade illegal immigration to the United States and establish more destinations for asylum seekers. The State Department signed a Safe Third Country agreement with Belize, according to a Monday announcement from the Central American country’s government. While more details are to be announced, the deal will allow asylum seekers in the U.S. — many of whom entered unlawfully — to resettle in Belize and pursue their cases there.

State lawmakers are accusing Gov. Kathy Hochul of retaliating against them for continuing a probe into mounting claims her administration rigged the contract for a massive $11 billion Medicaid homecare program. State Sens. Jim Skoufis (D-Orange) and Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) plan to send a letter Tuesday demanding Hochul’s administration turn over evidence surrounding bid rigging and other allegations centering on her overhaul of the $11 billion per year Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. While the lawmakers were finalizing plans to move the investigation forward last week, Hochul took the unusual step of vetoing several of Skoufis’ bills, including one that would reimburse pharmacies for consulting patients on abortion procedures.

The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax. In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

Muslims are blasting Zohran Mamdani’s association with controversial Imam Siraj Wahhaj, warning that legitimizing the former terror suspect could fuel radical extremism. “I am particularly concerned to see mosques used as political rallying platforms in the free and democratic United States,” said Dalia Ziada, a Muslim scholar and fellow at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. “By embracing Wahhaj, Zohran Mamdani is sidelining moderate Muslims and normalizing an extremist ideology that once inspired terror on American soil and still fuels radicalization within segments of the Muslim community today,” she told Fox News.

Washington — There are "no plans" for a meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the "immediate future," a White House official said Tuesday. The official told CBS News that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a "productive call," and a future in-person meeting between Rubio and Lavrov is "not necessary." The State Department said that Rubio and Lavrov spoke on Monday. "There are no plans for President Trump to meet with President Putin in the immediate future," the official said.

It couldn’t have happened to a better person. The individual who was caught on camera yelling racist tropes at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at a football game has lost his job. The incident happened over the weekend when Earle-Sears attended a football game at James Madison University. A White leftist in the crowd named Scott Pogorelc began screaming at the candidate, telling her to “go back to Haiti” and calling her a “traitor.” [snip] it wasn’t enough for the guy to humiliate himself by failing to get his racist tropes right, he did it on camera,

There are more than 2,700 “potential noncitizens” on Texas’ voter rolls, according to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. Nelson announced Monday that her office compared the state’s voter registration list against citizenship data in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database and discovered 2,724 potential noncitizens who are registered to vote. The SAVE database allows local, state, and federal government agencies to verify an individual’s immigration status. The Trump administration granted states free and direct access to the database, according to Nelson.

In New Mexico, it’s almost impossible to prove voter fraud. No proof of citizenship is required to register to vote, and no voter ID is required for in-person voting. For absentee voting, no photo ID is required to obtain an absentee ballot, no copy of a photo ID need be included with the returned absentee ballot, and there is no signature verification of the signature on the returned inner envelope. Why does New Mexico have such slipshod laws? You can thank the Democrat-controlled state Legislature that has had single-party rule for decades.

The rabbi of a prominent Manhattan synagogue slammed Zohran Mamdani as a “danger to the security of the New York Jewish community” — as he urged congregants to back Andrew Cuomo for mayor instead. “I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community,” Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of the renowned Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side, said during his Saturday sermon. He said Mamdani refuses to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” denies Israel’s legitimacy as a Jewish state, has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cited his “thrice-repeated accusations of genocide” against Israel in Gaza at last week’s mayoral debate.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told NBC News that he is “ready” to engage Russian strongman Vladimir Putin directly to negotiate an end to Russia’s invasion of his country, potentially at a proposed summit in Hungary, the state outlet Ukrinform reported on Sunday. Zelensky made the remarks following a visit to the White House and a one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump stated during the engagement that, following the signing of a peace agreement to end the war in Gaza last week, he intends to focus America’s foreign policy on achieving a sustainable peace for Ukraine.

Last week, two of the "youths" who attacked former DOGE employee Edward "Big Balls" Coristine were sentenced and both avoided jail. Now U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is announcing federal charges against more of Coristine's attackers, and we doubt they'll be getting a slap on the wrist.(snip) Lawrence Cotton Powell, 19, and Anthony Taylor, 18, who are linked to the beating of former DOGE staffer Edward Coristine in Washington, D.C., are now facing federal charges for a series of assaults and attempted carjacking. (snip) two counts of first-degree robbery and assault with intent to commit robbery, each of which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison,

Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies. MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but. These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al). The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.

Florida Attorney Peter Ticktin has known Donald Trump personally since grade 10 of their high school days in 1961, when both attended New York Military Academy. Ticktin has publicly described Trump as a classmate and friend from that period (snip) Ticktin has actively pursued litigation and public advocacy alleging election fraud in the 2020 election. As an attorney, he represents numerous clients seeking federal pardons and many J6 defendants, whom he prefers to call patriots. (snip) I had this conversation this week with Ticktin regarding his concerns about the Department of Justice and Todd Blanche’s role in running the DOJ and what it means for Trump’s second-term agenda..

In its Sunday episode of “60 Minutes,” the broadcast television network CBS misrepresented the facts in the civil immigration lawsuit brought against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is separately charged with human smuggling in Tennessee by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The segment featured an interview of Erez Reuveni, who was fired from the DOJ earlier this year for allegedly failing to appropriately defend the DHS from the lawsuit filed by Abrego Garcia, conducted by “60 Minutes” reporter Scott Pelley

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday identified Gelsen Verela Dubon, the 18-year-old who was arrested following a high speed chase with Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), as an illegal immigrant from Honduras. An ICE spokesman reportedly confirmed Verela Dubon (pictured above) is a Honduran national in a statement to WKRN, and Davidson County Sheriff’s Office records show he is currently being held on a detainer requested by ICE. According to ICE, such detainers are lodged, “against potentially dangerous aliens who have been arrested by another law enforcement agency or are removable from the United States.”

Mohammed Nazzal, a senior official with the Hamas terrorist organization, defended his group’s mass execution of Palestinian civilians on Friday after President Donald Trump warned Hamas could face utter destruction for the murders. Nazzal, a member of the Hamas Politburo, defended public executions as “exceptional measures” for dealing with “criminals.” He denied accusations that Hamas was simply rounding up and killing its adversaries to keep power in Gaza, even though the ceasefire deal stipulated that Hamas would play no role in postwar administration.

Amazon announced late on Monday that connectivity issues that affected numerous platforms that use its Amazon Web Service, or AWS, have been resolved after causing utter chaos for the majority of the day. In a statement on Monday evening, the Amazon cloud computing company said that all the widespread website outages that started just after midnight on the West Coast on Monday have been resolved, and that all services have returned to normal operations. In short, if you were having trouble using Amazon, Ring, Zoom, Snapchat, Canva, Venmo, T-Mobile, Life360, and more, that nightmare should be over.

In 1969, Muammar Gaddafi seized power using a successful coup against King Idris, while promising to modernize Libya. He styled himself as a revolutionary savior with a manic desire to shape global politics by blending Arab nationalism and Islamic socialism. Black gold made it possible. Using oil wealth to build free education, housing programs, and public works, Gaddafi also built one of the most repressive security states in the Arab world. Gaddafi's Libya was one of the sources of funds for terror groups from the IRA to the Abu Nidal Organization for decades. After Libya's involvement in the Berlin disco bombing in 1986, the U.S. bombed Tripoli and Benghazi,

Evocative of that infamous 2019 Washington Post article that described the recently-deceased ISIS killer Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” who displayed “canny pragmatism” during his reign of terror, candidate for New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani recently posted a photo to social media showing him cheerily embracing a man by the name of Siraj Wahhaj (real name Jeffrey Kearse), a Muslim imam who has a long history of raising funds for convicted killers with terrorist ideologies, calling the experience a “pleasure” and referring to Wahhaj as a “leader” and “pillar” of the community:

Pop quiz. During which Trump administration did the following happen? ICE has been targeting the home of immigrant children, mothers, and families in California, leading one critic to say the raids “go against our nation’s fundamental values of equality and justice for all.” Another said, “How then could America say it’s OK to send parents of children away? What value system is that? I think it’s un-American.” The American Immigration Council said that “ICE raids have left children without parents and feeling abandoned, separated nursing babies from their mothers, separated pregnant wives from their husbands, and compelled local communities and organizations to scramble to address child welfare crises in their wake.”

The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech. You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans,
