A man whom authorities describe as an anti-government extremist set fire Monday morning to the front of New York’s 26 Federal Plaza, which houses several federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI. The suspect, 43-year-old Army veteran Andrew Arrabaca, poured gasoline on the stairs leading to the building’s employee entrance before setting fire to it.//snip//In his post-arrest interview, Arrabaca admitted to targeting the building and said he was willing to hurt — even kill — federal employees and citizens who were by the building at the time of his attack.

In NYC he will ordered to a remedial class in firebombing so he can be more effective next time, and nothing else.

Timothy McVee Blows up the Federal Building killing men, women and children because he thought the government had acted tyrannically with its actions concerning Elian Gonzales and Waco. He did an EVIL act. This guy basically tried to do the same to a Federal Building that had ICE offices. But failed. He will basically be called a concerned,, but misguided individual with a good heart. But his action will not be called EVIL ..

I firmly believe this was supposed to be suicide by cop, but he got arrested too soon. Since he is still alive, he will use an insanity defense. He was a soldier and had PTSD, don't you know. Hat tip the cops who used amazing restraint for not punching his ticket home, even though he is really a commie leftist.

The 'Rats are putting out huge amounts of violent rhetoric, egging on people to do violent things to ICE officers, facilities, Conservatives, Republicans and traditional Americans in general. Then when lunatic-fringe leftists commit the violent acts, the 'Rats say "WE had NOTHING to do with THIS! LIARS! They know EXACTLY what they are doing. Heck, James '86-47' Comey even wrote a book about it.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) is facing some heat after a video clip from a recent campaign event circulated on X, showing him urging supporters to mobilize a large group of people who were not naturalized citizens during the last election cycle. In the footage, posted by the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) research account, Ellison addressed a crowd at a campaign event on Monday for progressive Sen. candidate and current Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (D-MN). His comments appear to be an admission that Democrats are relying on very newly eligible voters—including recent

President Trump awarded Spain their medals and trophy on Sunday following the team’s stunning victory over Argentina at the World Cup tournament final. Trump joined FIFA president Giovanni Infantino on the field minutes after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after a long and difficult game in which both teams struggled to score for long stretches. Take a look: Per tradition, the leader of the host country often awards the winning team its trophy and medals at the conclusion of the World Cup final. Trump did not officially state which team he hoped would be victorious, but he did express his appreciation for Argentina superstar Lionel Messi and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

After eight nights of pounding by American forces, Iran is reeling. They've managed a few counterattacks, most notably a missile and drone attack on Jordan that cost the lives of (we now know) three American service members. But the beating they are taking is all out of proportion to what they are dishing out. Now there's an indication that the biggest rats may be leaving this sinking ship. There are reports from an "Israeli security source," quoted in the Times of Israel, that the so-called Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have left Iran, destination unknown.

Retired U.S. Navy Adm. James Stavridis on Sunday warned that the U.S. should watch Iran’s actions in the Suez Canal. “It’s got more traffic flowing through it than the Strait of Hormuz, and the Iranians are beginning to make noises about attempting to close that, using the Houthis in the southwest corner,” Stavridis told CNN’s Jake Tapper, referring to the Iranian-backed militant group in Yemen. Stavridis said Iran is “adaptive” in fighting the war with the U.S. and suggested that they are watching Ukraine’s actions “very closely.” “They’re watching what’s happening very closely in Ukraine, or they are kind of playing the part of the Ukrainians, using innovation

The new platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) got a lot of attention this week. The revision to the DSA platform, "Workers Deserve More," plans to abolish the Senate entirely and replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary elected by and subordinate to Congress. They also want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), defund the Department of War, end deportations, ease restrictions on immigration control for migration between countries, and "extend full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens."

Iran is finding out that the United States under President Trump doesn't mess around when U.S. servicemembers are killed by its reckless missile strikes. As RedState wrote earlier on Saturday: The U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, has now revealed that two United States service members were killed and one remains missing following a missile and drone attack by Iran. The attack was targeted at the U.S. forces in Jordan. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reacted to the attack in an X post in an update, writing: Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve.

The couple does not live in the house but rents it out to tenants.

When they arrived, they found the person deceased, Moccia said. Moccia did not have any further details and said the homicide unit is handling the investigation.

Iranian state TV, amid a series of threats from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei against the “Great Satan” America, has labeled Donald Trump the “'number one target of the Iranians.'” Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi is a host on Iranian state TV, and therefore acts as a mouthpiece of the terrorist regime's sentiments. Indeed, the Iranian parliament has a €50 million (about $57 million) price on Trump‘s head, besides a bounty on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier this month, Tahmasebi commented on Trump's presence at the NATO summit, and expressed the official regime determination to assassinate the U.S. president. Unsurprisingly, the Iranian parliament is promoting the same goal:

On Sunday, a new report came out that, among Saturday night's targets in Iran hit by American attacks, there was a strike against a nuclear facility under construction, that being what is called the Darkhovin facility. The Iranian government is said to be "furious." Good. This is a military target, no matter what Iran has to say about it. This is precisely the kind of target American forces should be razing to the ground. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, in its outrage, is again dissembling; nothing this regime does is peaceful or has an entirely peaceful purpose.

A California city chief allegedly locked herself inside the wheelhouse of a “random” 75-foot yacht and repeatedly sounded its horn before two bottles of booze were found empty in a bizarre early-morning episode ending with her arrest. Elaine Forbes, 53, who started as Sausalito’s city manager just three weeks ago, was allegedly discovered aboard the Lisa Marie early Saturday after Captain Bill Aubrey heard its horn blaring shortly after 5:30 a.m., The San Francisco Standard reported. Forbes’ family has since said she has been experiencing a “mental health crisis” and urged the public not to “rush to judgment” as more details emerge about the stunning incident.

Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable,” Walz asked. “Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day?” (snip) The pardon was unanimously approved this spring by Minnesota’s Board of Pardons, which includes Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and state Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson.

In March of 2026 President Trump issued Executive Order 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” directing the U.S. Postal Service to create a rule whereby any state that intends to send mail-in ballots to voters must provide a list of those eligible to participate in federal elections or the USPS “shall not transmit” those ballots. The obvious goal of the EO is to keep ballots from reaching people who are not eligible to vote. This predictably produced several lawsuits. On Friday, however, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay on the lower court injunction.
