The latest atrocity that Trump has committed, as far as the left is concerned, is targeting narcoterrorists’ boats in the Caribbean. After all, who will speak for the poor drug traffickers if they don’t? As the estimable Stephen Kruiser has detailed, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Mutiny) and the other members of the Seditious Six are leading this effort, but one of the chief defenders of the poor drug mules (Snip) in a video that began circulating Wednesday, he appears to be calling for a military coup against a duly elected president of the United States.

Americans’ years-long rebellion against toxic, neo-Marxist wokeness has corresponded with a palpable Christian revival. Now, in a development that Steve Deace of BlazeTV called “unthinkable even a couple of years ago,” ABC will air “The First Christmas,” hosted by Hollywood legend Kevin Costner, in primetime on Dec. 9. On Tuesday, Costner shared a promotional video for the show on the social media platform Instagram. “They say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year,” Costner said in the video, “a chance for families to gather together and celebrate the amazing story of a newborn King.”

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn dropped concerning news about an alleged attack in downtown Los Angeles on Monday. [Tweet] Finn said a man was in federal custody for allegedly throwing two Molotov cocktails into a downtown federal building on Monday in a "self-described terrorist attack, according to federal law enforcement documents." Finn promised more details forthcoming on the case. Obviously, that description was suggestive as to the alleged motivation. Now Fox has more details on the incident. The unidentified suspect attempted to detonate the devices, but they did not ignite, investigators said. The suspect allegedly had additional suspected Molotov cocktails in his possession. [....]

Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, a 30-year-old Afghan national who entered the United States during the Biden administration, has been charged in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas for "threatening to build a bomb, conduct a suicide attack, and kill Americans and others." Alokozay is accused of making explicit threats in a video shared across multiple social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and TikTok. The threats, made just days before the attack on the National Guard in Washington, D.C., were previously reported by RedState's Teri Christoph, who described the incident as a "chilling near-miss." The clip features Alokozay on a video call,

MINNEAPOLIS - The Somali community in Minnesota has a rich history, shaped by migration and integration over the past 30 years. Somali migration to Minnesota What we know: Somalia's civil war, which began in 1991, forced 3.8 million people to flee their homeland. Many of these refugees found new homes in Minnesota, with at least 24,000 arriving in the state. (Snip) Ahmed Ismail Yusuf mentioned that despite their integration into American society, many Somalis still hold onto memories of their homeland. "Where you were raised, is always going to be a part of you. So because you want to

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an end to the delays caused by health insurance prior authorizations. During Tuesday's televised White House cabinet meeting, Kennedy said, "We convened the insurance carriers representing 280 million Americans and got them to agree -- most of them by January of 2026, two months from now -- to remove prior authorizations for all procedures we want them removed from." "And that means that American patients at the point of care will be able to get an answer immediately," he added.

Amid reports of a federal crackdown targeting Somali immigrants, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday issued an executive order prohibiting law enforcement from using city-owned parking lots for immigration operations. (snip) “This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis does not authorize this property to be used, and it may not be used, by any federal, state, or local government entity or personnel as a staging area, processing location, operations base, or any other similar use for civil immigration enforcement operations.”

Go ahead and put this in the category, "we told you so," Democrats are the pro-crime party. Need more proof? Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7) wants to make Americans pay for illegal aliens' legal defense, and stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from being able to detain people who shouldn't even be in our country. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jayapal was joined by fellow Democrats to announce her bill H.R.2760 - The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act - which has 123 Democrat co-sponsors in the House. Jayapal admitted that her bill not only "overhauls the detention system," but also "drastically scales back the use of detention" by

California’s top elected officials announced a new online portal Wednesday with the stated purpose of having members of the public share information with the state’s Department of Justice about “potentially unlawful activity by federal agents and officers across the state.” Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a press release from the governor’s office, acknowledging that “Federal agents have broad authority to enforce federal laws, including federal immigration laws,” but adding that “they must do so lawfully.” The portal allows citizens to submit videos and photos to help “create a record of potential unlawful conduct by federal agents, and inform possible legal actions

In September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request . . . As the Globe said at the time, "That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for." Today the Justice Department did it again, but filed Federal lawsuits against six additional states -- Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington -- for failure to produce their statewide voter lists upon request.

Chilling new details have emerged about the illegal migrants — including killers tied to 29 homicides — who have been released onto the streets of New York due to sanctuary laws, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The violent rogue’s gallery includes the likes of Cuban national and convicted killer Jose Antonio Andreo-Quezada, an illegal alien with a criminal history involving homicide, larceny, disorderly conduct, possession of stolen property, dangerous drugs, burglary, trespassing and assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Democrats in Washington have spent the last two years celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug-pricing provisions. And, yes, lower prices and a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap make for good headlines, but beneath that victory lap sits a part of the health-care system almost no one thinks about: the pharmacies that serve nursing-home residents. Their stability determines whether millions of elderly Americans receive the medications they rely on every day. Those pharmacies are the weak point in the IRA rollout, and the pressure on them is building. Long-term-care (LTC) pharmacies aren’t retail storefronts. They don’t rely on walk-in traffic, and they don’t have the product mix that helps chains absorb financial shocks.

As soon as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her vice presidential nominee in 2024, I gagged and shook my head. I grew up in Minnesota and had a lovely childhood there. It's filled with kind, hardworking people. Beautiful lakes dot the land, and winter can be magical (though long). It's still ranked one of the healthiest states to live in. But I wouldn't live there now, even if Walz himself paid me millions to move back to the North Star State and personally escorted me

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a convicted felon who served seven years for a string of armed robberies targeting New York City taxi drivers to advise him on the "criminal legal system." Mysonne Linen, a rapper-turned-social justice activist, will serve on Mamdani's "criminal legal system committee," 1 of 17 committees that Mamdani created to help transition into his administration. Mamdani said the appointees "will be tasked with not only making personnel recommendations but policy recommendations."

A stunning new report from the University of California, San Diego, reveals that incoming college students are less prepared for their classes than ever. The steep decline in academic readiness among its first-year students is particularly noticeable in mathematics. The UCSD paper shows that between 2020 and 2025, the number of students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold. Additionally, 70% of these students are below the middle school level.

Ohio elections officials reached a data sharing agreement with President Donald Trump's administration that will help clean up and maintain the state's voter rolls. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced the new agreement on Monday, saying it guarantees Ohio access to enhanced federal records for at least 20 years. The deal refers to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, which previously had limited and costly availability to state election officials. LaRose says Monday's agreement with the Department of Homeland Security guarantees Ohio the capability to obtain verifiable data supporting each citizen verification as well as the ability to perform bulk verification requests.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold escalated her standoff with the Trump administration this week, rejecting a request for the state’s full, unredacted voter file. “We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information. The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” Colorado’s refusal comes as the DOJ expands lawsuits into at least 14 states for denying similar requests. 

Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz — Kamala Harris’s former aw-shucks VP sidekick — now faces a scandal so colossal it could swallow the state budget whole. Over 480 Department of Human Services (DHS) employees have blown the whistle, accusing Walz of masterminding a cover-up for a Somali immigrant-led fraud ring that siphoned more than $1 billion from social programs. That’s billion with a B — stolen through COVID relief scams, fake autism diagnoses, and Medicaid kickbacks, with funds funneled overseas, including to Al-Shabaab terrorists. One standout grifter, 29-year-old Asha Farhan Hassan, allegedly pocketed $14 million alone from programs meant for vulnerable kids.

I recently came across an amusing meme: President Donald Trump, dressed as a magician, lifts his wand and declares, “For my next trick, I’ll make Democrats support the drug cartels.” And, indeed, he has. On Friday, in an article titled, Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all, The Washington Post reported that, according to two people with direct knowledge of the first U.S. military strike on a drug boat in the Caribbean Sea on September 2, War Secretary Pete Hegseth “gave a spoken directive. ‘The order was to kill everybody.’” A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze

The facts are still emerging through the fog of war (or is it the fog of law enforcement, or the fog of antiterrorism?). Sometimes people (including myself) draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete information, so let’s start with what’s really known. Our military launched another missile attack on a drug-smuggling fast boat. The boat burst into flames and was dead in the water but did not immediately sink. On-scene surveillance showed that not all of the 11 crew members were killed. One or two men were seen moving in the water.

Americans with concerns about the influx of unvetted “migrants” have another example to worry about — and another potential future to be infuriated over. The venerable German tradition of Christmas markets — festive villages blossoming in city centers for the seasonal celebration — is taking a dark turn with the installation of massive security measures in the wake of deadly attacks by Muslims in recent years. And as U.K. conservative firebrand Tommy Robinson put it: “Christmas market in Germany is starting to look like a war zone.” It isn’t hard to see what he’s talking about. Robinson, who has spent years battling the establishment in the U.K. political arena, wrote

After winning a court order essentially forbidding federal immigration agents from responding with force against so-called "protestors" interfering with ICE operations and threatening federal agents in Illinois, attorneys representing journalists and anti-ICE activists have now decided to pull the plug on their lawsuit, rather than defend the order in the face of a potential loss on appeal,

They were promised lucrative and stable careers if they "learned to code" and earned a degree in software engineering. Instead, many Americans in the tech industry have been left disillusioned as they face mass layoffs and chronic unemployment -- a crisis they say stems from an addiction to cheap foreign labor pipelines that are made accessible through programs like H-1B and touted by companies as a way to hire the "best and brightest."

The Biden Administration created a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country. . . . The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."

From the looks of it, this one could have been bad — really bad. Cops stopped a car that was in the park after hours in Wilmington, Delaware, in late November, and when the driver refused to exit the vehicle, officers detained him. What they found next was truly scary: Police searched the Tacoma and found several items inside, including a loaded handgun, extended magazines, body armor, a laptop and binoculars.[snip] The man, 25-year-old Luqmaan Khan, turned out to be a University of Delaware student. It gets worse:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., as “garbage” and said Somalis should “go back to where they came from,” in disparaging remarks that have been strongly criticized by local leaders in Minnesota. “I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you, OK. Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason," said Trump, who has a history of disparaging African people and migrant communities.

A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,

For as little as $1, you can dim the sun — just a tiny bit — to save the world from climate change. At least, that’s the promise sold by a California start-up called Make Sunsets. Your dollar will pay for founder Luke Iseman to drive a Winnebago RV into the hills half an hour outside Saratoga, California, to release a balloon loaded with sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant normally spewed by volcanic eruptions. He and his 1,000 paying customers hope the balloon will burst in the stratosphere, releasing particles that will block sunlight and cool the planet. A better-funded competitor, Stardust, has raised $75 million

Perhaps more significant to US strategic interests [than Venezuela's smuggling illegal drugs] is Maduro's cooperation with an anti-American alliance of autocracies in the Western Hemisphere. These include Russia, Cuba, China and Iran. Iran's regime, both before and after a number of visits to Venezuela, delivered military drones to Venezuela and has been strengthening Venezuela's military, thereby enabling the Maduro regime to threaten its neighbors including Guyana, Trinidad and Colombia, as well as the US. Cuba's role in Venezuela is even more invasive than that of Iran. Russia's role in helping to buttress Maduro's regime includes arms sales, joint army and air force exercises,

Progressive Jersey City Councilman James Solomon is projected to beat former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) in Jersey City’s mayoral election, according to Decision Desk HQ. Solomon on Tuesday defeated McGreevey, who resigned from his post as governor in 2004 after revealing that he had an extramarital affair with a man, in an election to succeed current Mayor Steve Fulop (D), who opted to instead run for governor. Fulop lost in the Democratic gubernatorial primary to New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D). Solomon and McGreevey ran in a crowded race in November that included five others for the mayoral seat.
