A federal judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, is refusing to add additional jail time to a criminal sentence for a seven-time deported illegal alien, convicted of raping and sodomizing a woman with cerebral palsy, for his repeated violation of federal immigration law.
U.S. District Judge Judith Levy, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2014 by Obama, recently ensured that 30-year-old illegal alien Edys Renan Membreno Diaz of Honduras would not have to spend another 19 months in prison for violating federal immigration law — a standard sentence for an illegal alien who was deported from the U.S. seven times.

The Department of War (DOW) is escalating its review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired Navy captain, to an official command investigation into his participation in a video dubbed “seditious” by President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
DOW officials announced the preliminary review on November 24 in response to a video he published with fellow Democrat lawmakers calling on military service members and intelligence officials to “refuse illegal orders” from the Trump administration.
Hegseth called the video “despicable, reckless, and false,”
A federal appeals court on Monday took Judge Boasberg to task and delayed his contempt hearings until 2026.
In March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.
Boasberg then threatened to hold Trump officials in contempt for not bringing some of the world’s most vicious killers, criminals, and rapists back to the United States.
Judge Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in criminal contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes carrying dangerous Venezuelan gang members.
Several high-profile fatal crashes in 2025 involving non-citizen truck drivers prompted the Department of Transportation to investigate how commercial driver’s licenses were being issued. Crashes in Florida that killed three people, in Texas that killed five, and in Alabama that killed two exposed widespread fraud and irregularities, including fake CDL schools, bribery schemes, fraudulent Mexican licenses, and state failures to properly verify immigration status.
On August 12, 2025, a crash on the Florida Turnpike killed three people when Harjinder Singh, a 28-year-old driver from India, attempted an illegal U-turn in an area marked for official use only.
United States Southern Command on Monday announced that Joint Task Force Southern Spear took out three narcotrafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific.
A total of eight “narco-terrorists” were killed in the strikes. “Intelligence confirmed that the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking,” US SOUTHCOM said.
Video from the strikes shows massive explosions on each boat, turning them into burning piles of rubble.
Talk Radio Tuneout

Now that we’re firmly in December, I can comfortably drive around in the truck with Jimmy Durante’s gravelly crooning of Frosty the Snowman for the eighteen-millionth time in my life, rather than tune into what passes for talk radio these days. To be sure, I’ll even turn up The Chipmunks—poor old Alvin being screamed at by Dave—before I switch over to the local AM station carrying Clay and Buck, or, God help me, Sean Hannity.
A report came out Sunday morning that may have been overlooked due to the fact that our attention was, understandably, focused on the deadly shooting at Brown University and the terrorist attack on Chanukah-celebrating Jews in Australia, but there was some important information revealed that needs to be discussed. Namely, senior United States intelligence officials have now confirmed that President Biden had been made aware of the fact that hundreds of Afghan nationals with terrorist ties were being allowed into the country without proper vetting, and he chose to ignore those warnings.
CNN host Jake Tapper laughably argued he now makes a point of aggressively covering President Trump’s missteps because he failed to do so while covering former President Biden. [Tweet, video]
"We cover it all the time on my show, all the time," Tapper said. "And I think that is to a large degree because we saw what happened with Biden, and while we covered it, we didn't cover it...We didn't ask as many questions as we should've at the time. And I think it is a legitimate question for any president of any age,
On October 21, a commercial truck collided with an SUV along Interstate 10 a few miles east of Los Angeles. The dashcam footage immediately went viral: we witness the final moments of husband and wife Clarence and Lisa Nelson as their vehicle, stopped in traffic, is vaporized by the truck. Its driver? A 21-year-old illegal immigrant from India, Jashanpreet Singh, who hadn't stopped, or even attempted to slow down before impact. (snip) I've been trucking across North America for 25 years. For those of us in the industry, scenes like this are just another Tuesday.
There is a full-blown constitutional mess brewing over James Comey, and at the center of it is a Clinton-appointed judge ordering the FBI to destroy key email evidence tied directly to the obstruction case against him. This is not just another technical fight over discovery rules. This is a rogue judge stepping in to shield one of the left’s favorite anti-Trump heroes from accountability.
James Comey was charged with lying to Congress and obstructing its investigation into the Russiagate hoax. Central to the case are his messages with Daniel Richman, a Columbia Law professor and former government contractor, who acted as a conduit for information about Trump.
President Donald Trump has taken another step toward addressing the deadly fentanyl crisis in America by designating the drug and its core precursor chemicals as weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Trump made the announcement while awarding the new Mexican Border Defense Medal to U.S. troops who showed extraordinary dedication in protecting our southern border while deployed to assist federal immigration enforcement. At the same time, Trump issued an executive order on fentanyl. The deadly drug has been a growing concern for years now as tens of thousands of Americans die every year overdosing on it.
“Illicit fentanyl is closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic,” Trump argued in the EO.
Nick Reiner, who is now behind bars accused of murdering his parents, Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and wife Michele, admitted during a 2018 podcast appearance that he once destroyed the family’s guest house while “spun out on uppers” like cocaine. Nick confirmed to Dopey host David Manheim that he was sequestered in the residence “for days on end,” eventually going “10 rounds” destroying furniture and punching the television set. “I started with the TV and then I went over to the lamp and then [progressively], just everything in the guest house got wrecked,” Nick explained of a rampage that came
Mass attacks: we're on our own
replies
The attacks at Bondi Beach, Australia and at Brown University remind us western democracies remain uniquely vulnerable to terrorist attacks, even terrorists armed with common firearms rather than the automatic weapons employed in the Middle East and other hot spots.
In Australia at least 16, aged 10-87, were killed and some 40 were wounded at a “Chanukah by the Sea” celebration. Yes, the victims were largely Jews, and amazingly, the police think it was terrorism.
In this case, the two killers were apparently not “known wolves.”

The White House Rapid Response account has posted the clip below from Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar’s interview with her fan Esme Murphy on CBS Minnesota yesterday. Murphy began this hard-hitting interview with her characteristic fangirl approach to Democrats, striking her usual tone with her first question: “I do want to ask first of all, how are you and what is it like being the focus of a president’s ire repeatedly over and over again?” Hey, Esme, skip to the easy questions! She takes Chris Farley’s tack with Paul McCartney: “How can you be so great?” However, Farley was engaged in comedy. In the clip, Omar addresses the facts
William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason.
Members of the ‘devil’s party’ don’t create: they take what someone else made, and invert it.
It’s Affordability, Stupid?p

The recent Democratic cry of “affordability” is ironic in many ways.
The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate.
The 2025 generic “dictator,” “fascist,” and “Nazi” smear points never helped the left much.Nor did the nihilist government shutdown over the “Obamacare crisis” work other than perhaps to depress fourth-quarter GDP.
Nor did the earlier spring 2025 melodramatic predictions of an impending “Trade War,” “Recession,” and stock-market “Meltdown resonate.”
Nor did the “Gestapo,” “SS,” and “Nazi” ICE smears become effective talking points.
The “illegal orders” and “unconstitutional use of force” in destroying narcotraffickers’ shipments in transit of lethal drugs were mostly empty rhetoric.
As Congress enters its final scheduled week of business of the year, it has failed to pass legislation on health care. Last Thursday, the Senate rejected a Democratic bill to expand Obamacare as well as a Republican alternative that would have given money directly to individuals to put in health savings accounts.While Republicans may talk themselves into a one-year extension with the hope that it would take the issue off the table for Democrats, they would be making a huge mistake. If Republicans agree to extend the subsidies now, they will never be allowed to expire, because the logic will never change.
“Stand with Ukraine! Free Palestine! No one is illegal!”
Did I forget any other empty slogans? For the last eight years, the basement-dwelling interlocutors of the left have screamed and yelled for revolution, bearing their signs, blocking the streets, and bawling in front of politicians’ homes.Conservatives and the general public have endured these mantras blasted all over social media and the airwaves. These empty epithets have dominated college campuses, overwhelmed classrooms and public squares, and featured prominently in debates, podcasts, and talk shows.
The left never tires of finding causes to fight for. Whatever declares war on the West, undermines natural law and basic reality, and places power above principle,

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is often touted as a successor to President Erdogan and has again and again viciously attacked Israel for defending itself. On November 30, while in Iran, Fidan labeled Israel as “the biggest threat to stability in the Middle East” just as he bragged about seeking to significantly expand Turkish cooperation on issues such as energy, trade, border protection, and Middle East security needs with Iran.
In August Fidan said “Israel’s reckless attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria,
Almost as quickly as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could pretend not to notice who shot up Bondi Beach on Sunday — a horrific act of Islamic terror against local Jews during Chanukah — the Labor leader announced swift action to insure that such an attack could never happen again.What swift action might that be?" I can hear you ask. "Roll up the ISIS cell in Sydney that apparently everybody knew about? Expel unassimilated foreigners? Teach Australian police to, I don't know, shoot back right away instead of standing around with their thumbs up their you-know-whats?"
Nah. According to Albanese, what Australia really needs is more gun laws.
It is possible that when you were looking into news items recently, you came to CNN’s digital platform and ran into a problem. You try to open up an article and get a window explaining that you need to subscribe to read a basic news entry. This is a result of a new foray the outlet began in expanding its digital reach, and it has been a mystery how well things are going.It was back in October when CNN All Access, the cable news channel’s third attempt at establishing a foothold in the evolving digital landscape, was rolled out. If this comes as a surprise, it is understandable;
The corporate press has consistently depicted the Indiana Senate’s Thursday vote against creating more pro-Republican congressional maps as a sign of “loyalty” or “betrayal” of President Trump. But the reality is a lot more complicated, and it has a lot to say about the current distraction and incompetence of the Republican Party.
“Indiana lawmakers defy Trump’s redistricting push,” headlined The New York Times.Indiana Republicans defy Trump,” headlined the Associated Press.
Politico described the Thursday vote as “Indiana GOP’s Trump rebuke.”
To be sure, there’s definitely an anti-Trump factor to the fact that 21 of 40 Republican state senators — a majority! — voted against redistricting.
Where are all these mysterious "right-wing extremists" the left loves to yap about? This talking point seems to come out every time there's a terrorist attack or mass murder event, and the perp, when identified, is never a "right-wing extremist." Case in point: The jihadi attackers in the infamous Bondi Beach attack; their motivation isn't hard to work out, but in a statement about that event, Australia's Labor Party Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had to trot out that old bugaboo. (Snip) Now, I'm willing to concede that the prime minister may have simply been reacting to a comment from someone else, but this happens so often
