ICE is cracking down on migrant-related crime in Minnesota, particularly the massive fraud schemes connected to the Somali migrants in the state, and as part of that appears to have pulled over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son to see if he was a citizen or otherwise in the United States legally. As could be expected, she raised a hissy fit over the matter. For reference, Rep. Omar’s comments on the matter when she appeared on CBS News Minnesota to talk about the situation generally, with ICE agents flooding into Somali migrant communities in Minnesota to search out fraudsters and those who…
Speaking during a mid-November segment of Fox News Channel’s “The Five”, conservative host Jesse Watters battled with the infamously woke Jessica Tarlov, calling out Democrats for their ties to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein in a rant sparked by Congress and the Trump Administration finally releasing some of the Epstein files.

In yet another infuriating incident out of the mainstream media, woke Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with host Kristen Welker on Sunday, December 14, and accused President Donald Trump of corruption and using public chaos and division to hide it. Sen. Warnock did not provide evidence of his shocking claims of presidential corruption. As a reminder, Sen. Warnock was elected in the chaotic and disastrous 2020 run-off elections in Georgia for both of its senate seats, which came because one seat was up for re-election and former Sen. Johnny Isakson passed away while in office…

Things went nuclear during a mid-September Congressional hearing in which FBI Director Kash Patel loudly clashed with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) over the Epstein files, with Goldman melting down in a total freakout over Kash’s points, at one point even screaming in the House Committee meeting in what was called an “unglued” freakout online. For reference, the hearing in which the incident occurred was held by the House Judiciary Committee. During it, the FBI Director sat for about 5 hours and faced a litany of questions regarding his handling of the Epstein files, leading to him having severe spats with…

Before getting to the details as released for media consumption, three facets deserve emphasis. (1) The primary objective of Ukraine/EU has been a publicity campaign to retain influence and support. (2) U.S. Emissaries Witkoff and Kushner are silent on the announced negotiated result. (3) Ukraine’s lead negotiator Rustem Umerov notes, “There is a lot of noise and anonymous speculation in the media right now. Please don’t fall for rumors and provocations. The American team led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are working extremely constructively to help Ukraine find a way to a peace agreement that lasts.” I would overlay…
There are commonsensical explanations for the FBI’s five-year delay in solving the January 5-6, 2021, pipe bomb case. But, as would be expected, the New York Times and other mainstream media chose to point to “right-wing” conspiracy theories circulating during the long investigative dormancy, rather than the blatant pro-Biden, anti-Trump FBI partisanship, which likely caused the delay. To be sure, various conservative commentators, prominently among them Dan Bongino, had claimed that the failure to solve the case showed that the pipe bomb was just an FBI “setup” to smear Donald Trump for January 6. This theory was not lacking in…

The New York Times has invented a new genre of reporting — covering big stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the events that matter. At the tail end of 2025, the Times has freshly broken the news that the Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for ideological and partisan reasons, partly out of sheer incompetence.Who knew? The nearly 4,000-word A1 story by Christopher Flavelle, with 14 colleagues contributing additional reporting and research, is certainly well sourced, but none of its sources have just come to light. It dissects Biden’s immigration misdeeds and missteps over…

For years, Arizona has been an emerging bastion of conservative leadership. Recently the AZ Republic called the legislature the “most conservative” ever. Over the last decade it has passed landmark policies and defended critical laws around the country, setting an example for the rest of the nation to emulate. This conservative advantage was threatened a few short years ago, when Katie Hobbs and Kris Mayes assumed their positions as Arizona governor and attorney general, respectively, after an extremely volatile election cycle. These two have stopped at nothing to insert their radical agenda as they seek to transform our state into…
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has thrown a legal lightning bolt at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over a long-simmering rumor about her past.This controversy, reignited by President Donald Trump and amplified by Cruz, centers on an old claim that Omar married her brother to skirt immigration laws, a charge she has consistently denied. Let’s rewind to 2016, when Omar first ran for state office in Minnesota, and whispers emerged from a local blog suggesting she wed her sibling to help him secure U.S. citizenship. The rumor has stuck like glue, despite Omar’s firm rejection of it as baseless. It’s the kind…

Are we really looking at a neat and easy chain, or something a bit more complicated, difficult, resilient, and more open to opportunity for those who understand its true nature? Do…

The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department rang in the new year celebrating a 30-year low in violent crime, which was touted as a major success by the Biden administration on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
