A federal grand jury indicted two anti-ICE volunteers with terrorism-related charges for a 4 July incident at an ICE facility in Texas. The indictment charges Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers, and discharging firearms during attempted murders. "For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism," FBI Director Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel vainly boasted. "This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX where armed extremists tried to murder US officers on July 4th," the most under-qualified individual to ever lead the FBI bleated.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., repeatedly sidestepped a question about whether she believed illegal immigrants should receive taxpayer-funded healthcare during a CNN town hall on Wednesday night. Ocasio-Cortez, who continues to generate buzz as a possible 2028 presidential contender or a potential primary challenger to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appeared alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to address questions about the ongoing government shutdown. Jill Ireland, identified by CNN as a California Democrat who works in insurance, submitted a pre-taped question: "Do you think taxpayers should be paying for the medical care of immigrants who are in the country illegally?"

Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch." That, Taher says, "is a lie." "I lost my son because of the funding cuts," he says. "And it is not only me " many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment."
A few weeks ago, as we solemnly commemorated the second anniversary of the darkest day in modern Jewish history since the Holocaust, a horrifying spectacle unfolded on the streets of New York. While decent human beings gathered to mourn the innocent souls slaughtered and the hundreds taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, other groups assembled for a very different purpose. They did not gather to advocate for peace, or to support President Trump's ceasefire agreement. Rather, they chanted for Oct. 7 to happen again, screaming "Glory to our martyrs" (rapists and baby killers) while waving jihadist flags adorned with machine guns!
The sinister Trumpf junta has revoked the visas of six foreigners who made derisive comments or made light of xenophobic hatemonger Charlie Kirk. The State Department reviewed their online social media posts and clips which criticized the despicable runt. The diabolical Kirk was rendered ineffective last month after receiving an involuntary injection of hot lead into his neck by a right wing sniper during a hatefest in Utah. The visa revocation came as Dummkopf Trumpf once again cheapened the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor, by posthumously awarding it to the good-for-nothing Kirk. The Trumpf junta and its supporters have targeted people for their comments about Kirk, leading to firings or other discipline of journalists, teachers, airline pilots, Servicemembers, and others. The unidentified six people who had their visas revoked were from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay, and South Africa. Read more
