Portland’s police chief cried over illegal-alien Tren de Aragua criminal cartel members being wounded, even though they were running sex slaves in his city; the Philly sheriff is a TDS head case who can’t explain what a “real” cop is; and finally,amid the suicidal empathy from the wokest places in the country, we get some real talk and sound advice from, of all places, the Chicago police chief. It's been open season on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol officers for months in the Chicago area. The local cops have refused to stop rioters from attacking federal immigration officers and infamously failed to come to their aid

The only perspective that matters is the perspective of the officer at the time he uses deadly force in response to a threat. The image above proves the officer was justified in his decision to use deadly force. He had no obligation to step out of the way that would benefit her or subject him to prosecution. He had no obligation to allow her to drive away from an attempt to detain her after the officer at the door of the car ordered her to stop her vehicle. (snip) [T]he claim floating around social media that ICE officers have no jurisdiction over U.S. citizens is simply wrong.

A cluster of New York Democrats whose offices cover New York City, state, and federal government have come out with near-identical statements on X condemning a protest that took place in New York City on January 8, 2026. The protest featured a group of approximately 200 pro-Palestinian agitators chanting pro-Hamas slogans outside a New York City synagogue. New York State Attorney General Letitia James wrote: Hamas is a terrorist organization. We do not support terrorists. Period. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) chimed in with: Hey so marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and leading with a chant saying “we support Hamas” is a disgusting and antisemitic thing to do. Pretty basic! Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) added: Let’s be clear:

Every Democratic elected official in Minnesota is singing the same tune: ICE is a threat to normal citizens, there is no reason for ICE to be here, ICE is doing no good, ICE is creating chaos–“chaos” is the universal term–ICE is the problem. Completely lost is any understanding of ICE’s mission. In fact, ICE has done an amazing amount of good in Minnesota, despite the universal opposition from politicians and criminal interference from the likes of Renee Good: (X) You really need to read the whole thing: BREAKING: ICE has provided @FoxNews a list of the most egregious criminal aliens they’ve arrested during their surge in the sanctuary state of Minnesota,

For years, some of us have argued that President Donald Trump's January 6th speech was protected under the First Amendment and that any prosecution would collapse under governing precedent, including Brandenburg v. Ohio.  I was regularly attacked as an apologist for my criticism of Special Counsel Jack Smith's "war on free speech." I wrote about his history of ignoring such constitutional protections in his efforts to prosecute targets at any cost. I also wrote about how Smith's second indictment (which the Post supported) was a direct assault on the First Amendment.

Last week, 10 people were found guilty of cyber-bullying Bridget Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron. These 10 individuals had been accused of spreading faults rumors about Macron's gender and sexuality, essentially claiming she is a transsexual. Macron, if you are unaware, bore three children with her first husband. The presiding judge remarked that the eight women and two men intentionally sought to harm the French first lady.How is this related to the U.S.? As we all know, the list of Democrat-generated hoaxes is virtually endless; hoaxes are their stock and trade, and frankly, their only viable strategy for maintaining (profoundly gullible) voters.

WASHINGTON — The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary. In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier, using technology unlike anything he has ever seen — or heard. “We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the guard said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions.

The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize is throwing cold water on talk of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado giving her recent award to President Donald Trump. 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.

The U.S. Treasury has launched an enforcement campaign targeting Somali-linked fraud networks in Minnesota, unveiling enhanced financial surveillance, overseas remittance restrictions, and multiple federal investigations amid mounting concerns that stolen taxpayer funds may have been laundered abroad and potentially diverted to terrorist groups (snip) Bessent said Treasury has launched multiple enforcement steps (snip) includ[ing] issung investigative notices to several Minnesota-based money-service businesses and imposing a geographic targeting order covering the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, lowering the reporting threshold for certain money transfers to 3,000.

Welcome to the spin zone, New York: Courtesy of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mammoth communications team. The Post reported Monday that Hizzoner’s press office is expected to be the largest in city history, packed with public-relations heavy-hitters boasting serious lefty bona fides. Putting the “commie” in “communications,” ex-Bernie Sanders staffers Anna Bahr and Joe Calvello will serve as communications director and press secretary, respectively. His current speechwriter, Julian Gerson, deputy communications director, Lekha Sunder, and campaign communications aide Dora Pekec will also staff the Department of Propaganda — er, Office of Communications.

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.

The Minnesota daycare at the center of mounting scrutiny over public childcare funds is now officially closed. According to state licensing records, the Quality Learning Center shut its doors this week, marking a quiet end to a facility that became nationally known after being featured in an investigative video by YouTuber Nick Shirley. Fox News reported that the Minnesota Department of Human Services confirmed the closure, noting that the daycare’s license was formally terminated earlier this month. “Quality Learning Center requested closure of their license and it was closed effective Jan. 6, 2026,” a Minnesota Department of Youth, Children, and Families spokesperson told Fox News.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas militants carried out one of the most depraved acts of violence in modern memory. Their surprise assault on Israeli civilians left roughly 1,200 people dead and some 250 taken hostage. Even more chilling was the perpetrators’ evident glee: terrorists filmed and live-streamed their brutality, broadcasting scenes of barbarism across social media in real time. Americans initially responded to the attacks with shock. In the days that followed, however, as Israel launched counterstrikes against Hamas in Gaza, Democrats’ early expressions of solidarity with the Jewish people began to give way to a more pronounced emphasis on the Palestinian cause —

Nebraska State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh (D) was caught on camera tearing down a PragerU historical exhibit from the walls at the state capitol. After receiving backlash on social media, the Democrat state senator told a local news outlet that she didn’t know what she was doing, insisting that she just saw material on the walls outside her office and tore it down, having no idea what the signage represented. The conservative organization shared video footage of Sen. Cavanaugh ripping down its Founders Museum exhibit at Nebraska’s state capitol on Wednesday.

The brilliant U.S. action in Venezuela is causing major shifts in this hemisphere. Indeed, all the world seems atilt now from the Mideast to Europe, and as we near the mid-term elections, the Democrats seem to have lost it with all but the mentally handicapped. The New World Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, and Bolivia seem to have discarded the leftist, anti-American nonsense that has so hampered South America and kept it from achieving the promise of its abundant natural resources. With the capture of Maduro and restructuring of Venezuela, like dominoes cascading, much more of Latin America appears to follow.

The Democratic Socialists of America — for whom New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a vocal supporter — and a Chinese Communist Party-linked activist network are leading a two-front resistance effort against President Donald Trump, with street protests seeking to blend efforts opposing ICE with the arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro. The coordinated organizational effort by the DSA and affiliated protest groups is fueled in large part by funding from CCP-linked wealthy Marxist businessman Neville Singham. That network produced a new slogan over the past few days — “No Wars. No Kings. No ICE.” — which sought to unite far-left protesters in their anti-Trump outrage and to encourage

ROSEVILLE, Minn. — More than one thousand people crammed into a Minnesota church Saturday for “training” in how to deal with ICE in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting — during which the radical leftist organizer urged participants to annoy the agents like “mosquitoes.” Program sponsor Monarca trains so-called “upstander legal observers” to follow, track, report, and record Department of Homeland Security officers while they are in the midst of operations, and urged the mostly white, middle-aged and elderly attendees to attend protests with gas masks, sunglasses and phone chargers. “And a pencil,” they said. “In Minnesota, bring a pencil; a pen will freeze.”

Colorado Governor Jared Polis said Wednesday he is weighing whether to grant clemency to Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk who is serving a nine-year prison sentence for 2020 election-related charges. Polis told CBS Colorado that Peters received a "harsh” sentence and that officials regularly review long prison terms, especially older inmates, to assess their threat to public safety and whether they should spend their remaining years at home. 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.

Iran's security forces are using lethal force against protesters nationwide, informed sources told Iran International, with preliminary estimates pointing to mass casualties as a sweeping crackdown unfolds amid a near-total internet shutdown. Footage sent to Iran International from Kahrizak, south of Tehran, shows several dead bodies in body bags. According to eyewitness accounts accompanying the videos, dozens of bodies are visible at the site, with additional bodies reportedly located in another nearby industrial shed. Two eyewitnesses who visited Kahrizak in search of their loved ones told Iran International that they saw more than 400 bodies there.

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.”

It's been a certainty for quite some time that many of the "protestors" tearing up the streets in Minneapolis and Portland, just to name a couple of (leftist) cities, were being paid to be there. Shadowy figures behind the scenes, who may or may not be named Soros, are funneling cash and strangely professional-looking signs into these riots. Ever notice how fast those strangely specific, professionally printed signs turn up? That can't be cheap. There is also a guy who organizes protests-for-hire on the up and up. Every cat its own rat and all that, you know. His name is Adam Swart,
