The ongoing unrest in Minneapolis has prompted several Republican lawmakers to urge President Donald Trump not to invoke the Insurrection Act. This law, which allows for the deployment of active-duty military personnel to restore order, has not been used since the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, linked to the Rodney King verdict. The current calls for its use arise from demonstrations triggered by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Senate Majority Leader John Thune from South Dakota expressed skepticism about the necessity of such drastic measures. “Hopefully the local officials working with not only…

Frank Pavone, the National Director of Priests for Life, highlights a pivotal moment for the pro-life movement as the two major annual events approach—the March for Life in Washington and the Walk for Life West Coast. He refers to these occasions as the “Super Bowl” of pro-life activism, which see increased attention from churches, media, and government regarding abortion. Pavone deems this a foundational moral issue. He emphasizes that while abortion may not dominate public consciousness, it underpins every other right. The assertion is clear: without the right to life, no other rights can truly exist. Pavone paints a vivid…
Mark Carney’s recent visit to Beijing marks a significant shift for Canada’s foreign policy. The prime minister, often viewed as a proponent of globalism, engaged in what many interpret as a move away from Canada’s traditional allies, particularly the United States, toward a closer relationship with Communist China. Carney himself described the necessity for this adjustment as a response to a “new world order.” Such rhetoric raises eyebrows, suggesting a deeper, more troubling alignment with a regime known for its authoritarian grip on power. During the visit… the first by a Canadian leader in eight years… Carney praised Chinese President…
Nick Ochs has emerged from federal prison following a tumultuous two-year sentence, now equipped with a story of resilience and a fresh perspective on justice in America. His new memoir, Age of Rot: A Right-Wing Dissident’s Prison Dispatches from a Torn America, delivers not just a personal account but also a biting commentary on the two-tiered justice system that he believes ensnares individuals like him. Released just before the 2024 election, Ochs is legally innocent of the felony charge that initially stole years from his life. The Supreme Court intervened, ruling that the Justice Department had misapplied the Sarbanes-Oxley “witness…
In a recent courtroom showdown, U.S. District Judge William G. Young found himself on the defensive after a DOJ attorney exposed the limits of his authority regarding deportation proceedings. Young, a Reagan appointee and veteran of the bench, took aim at the Trump administration during a hearing concerning the deportation of foreign activists linked to pro-Hamas rhetoric. These activists, namely students from prestigious universities, have made anti-American and anti-Semitic statements that have drawn criticism on campus. Young’s remarks were charged. He accused the administration of creating an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to target specific individuals and lambasted key figures, including Trump, Secretary…
Minneapolis is showing an alarming disconnect between its leadership and the realities on the ground. As violent altercations break out between leftist activists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, city officials choose to focus on “healing circles” and “therapy goats” for their employees. The juxtaposition of these priorities raises serious questions about what is truly important in a time of crisis. The email from Minneapolis City Attorney Kristyn Anderson reveals a startling level of self-absorption among city officials. Anderson described the healing circle as a space for “quiet, supportive environment for connection and presence,” while promoting the idea of…
Trump Derangement Syndrome has led to bizarre contradictions from some on the left. Imagine President Donald Trump endorsing something universally beneficial. His opposition would still find a way to criticize it. If he suggested a cure for a major disease, they might argue it could lead to other health issues. If he proposed a solution to world hunger, they would likely warn about a rise in obesity. This irrational resistance plays out vividly, especially in international affairs. Take the recent situation involving Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. When Trump took decisive action against Maduro on January 3, the news reverberated through…
Mara Maughan, a research scientist at the University of Washington, has sparked controversy with a disturbing comment directed at conservatives engaging in discussions about biological differences in sports. Maughan’s online post, which wished “Tyler Robinsons” on those who question trans inclusion in women’s athletics, raises serious concerns about the state of discourse around these contentious issues. Tyler Robinson is a 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Maughan’s wish for more incidents like his suggests a troubling tendency within some academic circles to dismiss differing viewpoints with hostility rather than engage in healthy debate. The incident gained traction after…
Recent events have highlighted a striking clash in priorities between President Donald Trump and New York Senator Chuck Schumer. Their Thursday meeting marked the first discussion between the two since last year’s contentious government shutdown, and it quickly turned into a platform for Schumer to air grievances that many might find misaligned with the pressing issues facing everyday Americans. This encounter centered around the issue of funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project, a critical infrastructure initiative with an estimated cost of $16 billion. However, instead of focusing solely on this significant public works project, Schumer veered into topics like Obamacare…
The tragic crash of a UPS MD-11 aircraft in Louisville, Kentucky, raises serious questions about aircraft safety and potential shortcomings in maintenance practices. This incident, which occurred shortly after takeoff on November 4, 2025, resulted in the loss of 15 lives, including three on the plane and 11 individuals on the ground. The latest report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reveals critical issues with the parts that secure the aircraft’s engines. The NTSB’s findings indicate that the engine’s mounting system had significant vulnerabilities that had not been adequately addressed. Fractures were discovered in the parts that hold the…
The tragic incident involving ICE agent Jonathan Ross and Renee Nicole Good has sparked heated discussions about law enforcement and the complexities of self-defense in tense situations. New evidence indicates that Ross was struck by Good’s vehicle, countering narratives suggesting otherwise. Retired police officer Dean Golemis has weighed in on the situation, advocating for the notion that Ross’s actions in shooting Good were justified given the circumstances. Golemis highlighted the instinctive reactions in high-pressure scenarios. “You’re not there,” he remarked, emphasizing that those judging Ross’s decisions likely lack the firsthand experience necessary to understand the dynamics at play. The incident…
Maria Corina Machado, a prominent Venezuelan freedom fighter, has made headlines with her recent accolade to President Donald Trump. At a press event outside the U.S. Capitol, Machado presented Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize medal she received in October, sparking interest and discussions about both her gesture and her ongoing fight for democracy in Venezuela.

The recent announcement from the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office has sparked confusion and disbelief. It underscores the city’s shift away from urgent public safety issues in favor of what some might describe as frivolous, alternative solutions. An internal email informed staff of a “healing circle” scheduled for noon, allegedly for “quiet, supportive connection,” complete with therapy goats making an appearance. This decision is captured in a post by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, who points out the absurdity of this scenario amidst growing tension surrounding federal immigration enforcement. City Attorney Kristyn Anderson’s invitation reflects troubling priorities. While ICE agents face ongoing…
Federal District Judge David O. Carter has made headlines once again with a ruling that raises eyebrows regarding election integrity. This Clinton-appointed judge, who suggested that former President Trump “likely committed crimes” during the 2020 election challenges, has now halted efforts by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to ensure compliance with voter registration standards in California. On Thursday, Judge Carter dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and the state itself, effectively protecting the state’s voter rolls from federal examination. His ruling favored all motions to dismiss the case, asserting that the DOJ’s actions were in…

CNN commentator Scott Jennings has questioned the expectations placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis, particularly in light of recent unrest in the area. Jennings pointed to a specific incident where an ICE officer defended himself against three assailants during a traffic stop. “The community was not being encouraged to support the agents; they’re being urged to confront them,” Jennings noted, addressing the provocative environment surrounding law enforcement. His statements shed light on a critical issue: the erosion of trust between federal agents and the communities they serve. Jennings argued that the narrative pushed by some activists—that…
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is emerging as a prominent voice within the Democratic Party, advocating for a balanced approach to immigration enforcement. As some members of his party push for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Fetterman urges his colleagues to avoid extreme proposals. In his view, the party should not succumb to “destructive tendencies.” He highlights that even progressive figures like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey oppose abolishing ICE, emphasizing the need for a more pragmatic stance. Fetterman expressed these concerns in a post on X, where he stated, “Secure the border. Deport all the criminals.…
The era of Disney’s ownership of Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” franchise has stirred significant debate among fans and critics alike, resulting in a divide that speaks to the heart of modern storytelling. Projects like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and early seasons of “The Mandalorian” and “Andor” have earned praise for their creativity and connection to the larger universe. However, many newer entries have met skepticism and backlash. The Disney trilogy—consisting of “The Force Awakens,” “The Last Jedi,” and “The Rise of Skywalker”—epitomizes this polarization. While some fans relished the revival of the franchise, others lamented the choices…
