Lawmakers are demanding a range of actions, from a full investigation into Renee Good’s shooting death and policy changes over law enforcement raids to the defunding of ICE operations and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in what is fast becoming an inflection point.

Another leftist bullcrap article from the AP trying to act like after one self defense shooting by an ICE agent means that all ICE agents do is kill hundreds every day. Of course they get one RINO to make their spin seem bipartisan.

They sure don't get upset when illegals raped, shot, stabbed, killed Americans (including children). Inquiring minds want to know why that's not a problem but this is? Deport them all. Including the thieves who stole the $ BILLIONS of taxpayer money.

Congress critters whining about enforcing the very laws they’ve enacted and have the power to change. Don’t like it? Then introduce an amnesty bill or something similar. See if you can build enough consensus to get it passed by the House and Senate. And of course be prepared to justify your actions to your constituents come election time. That’s how it works, that’s how the current immigration laws were enacted, that’s your job.

I noticed Murky (Traitor-Alaska) has weighed in with her brilliant analysis. And then, the article mentioned the Communists want to impeach Noem. Rest assured: if they take the House, it will be non-stop impeachment hearings of the President and his whole cabinet. I hate Communists.

How about the useless Congress drag the local law enforcement officials and politicians in to testify about why they failed to assist their federal law enforcement partners? While they are not responsible to help capture the illegals, they should be assisting when activist mobs interfere with their duties.

All self-admitted Communists, Socialist and Social Democrats (sorry for being redundant) should be expelled from Congress for committing fraud and treason by their very swearing in and by continuing to act in any official capacity. They are, by the ideology, practice and policies they espouse, INCAPABLE of fulfilling their sworn duties to protect and defend the Constitution. The clear and literal intent of the beliefs they hold are anathema to American liberties and principles. They have no right to be in their positions, and have gained them only by sedition and subterfuge. Period.

Peters is in her 70s and is a cancer survivor.[snip] Last year, Trump asked Polis to transfer Peters to federal custody so he could pardon her, but Polis refused.

Rubio shut her down in his usual brilliant fashion, of course.

Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move.

Once the Nobel Peace Prize is announced, it can’t be revoked, transferred or shared with others, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a short statement on Friday. “The decision is final and stands for all time,” it said. The statement comes after Machado said she’d like to give or share the prize with Trump, who oversaw the successful U.S. operation to capture authoritarian Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. He is facing drug trafficking charges in New York.

Iran’s parliament speaker warned Sunday that the U.S. military and Israel would be “legitimate targets” if America strikes the Islamic Republic over the ongoing protests roiling the country, as threatened by President Donald Trump. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf made the threat after nationwide protests challenging Iran’s theocracy saw protesters flood the streets in the country’s capital and its second-largest city into Sunday morning, crossing the two-week mark as violence surrounding the demonstrations has killed at least 116 people, activists said. With the internet down in Iran and phone lines cut off, gauging the demonstrations from abroad has grown more difficult.

A harrowing eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard who was on the ground when Operation Absolute Resolve hit — the mission to nab illegitimate then-president Nicolás Maduro — describes an unknown sonic weapon used by the U.S. against his security forces. According to the guard, the sonic blast caused them to experience headaches, disorientation, and vomiting of blood as they were completely incapacitated. But is this report true? Did we unleash some heretofore unknown powerful weapon that literally floored much of the enemy before any shots were even fired? In a Saturday social media post, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt seemed to imply that the answer was “yes.”

The bill, HB 207, “Imposes a firearm suppressor tax equal to $500 per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a dealer in firearms.” Keys-Gamarra’s bill directs monies from the tax to “be deposited in the general fund.” A long-standing $200 federal tax on suppressors was wiped out by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill which took effect January 1, 2026. This means suppressor sales around the nation are now hundred of dollars lower than they were even one month ago. But HB 207 will force Virginians to ante up $500, on top

President Donald Trump is seeking nearly $6.3 million from Georgia’s Fulton County in connection with the dismissed case against him pursued by District Attorney Fani Willis. In 2023, Willis had Trump indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, claiming Trump acted illegally in his efforts to push back against the results of the 2020 presidential election. The case was eventually dismissed, and in December 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals said that a lower court made a mistake in giving Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a romantic partner of Willis, the choice of one or the other stepping aside, according to the website Law and Crime.
