Since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been helping immigration enforcement authorities clean up the nation's border as part of Operation Take Back America, a new Trump-era initiative to "repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from perpetrators of violent crime." To fulfill Trump's directives for cracking down on illegal immigration, on March 6, the DOJ issued a memorandum establishing Operation Take Back America, which "streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN)."

A moderate Democrat is expressing cautious optimism at President Donald Trump's stance on tariffs in a stark departure from most of his party's infuriated reaction. Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, pointed out in a lengthy statement that he himself proposed a 10% blanket tariff on U.S. imports earlier this year and said he was happy Trump's baseline policy was the same – and even publicly pledged to work with Trump on enshrining it in federal law in a subsequent interview with Fox News Digital. "What I can say now is I’m pleased the president is building his tariff agenda on the foundation of a universal 10% tariff

Sophia Franklin,16, disappeared from the town of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, on Feb. 2, and was suspected to be traveling with a 40-year-old man named Gary Day, prompting an Amber Alert to locate her. According to the Beaver Dam Police Department, a tip originating in Sarpy County, Nebraska, led to Franklin's discovery. "Law enforcement made contact with a juvenile, who was with an adult male also matching the description of the male suspect she was identified leaving with, Gary Day," the department said.

In this age of rage, it is common for people to become the very thing that they despise in others, jettisoning their most cherished values to strike out at those they hate. Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters. It consumes every part of a person. It is addictive, and it is contagious. What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it. That was evident this week in New York,

A victim of a Tesla attack claims he didn’t even know about the organized, violent “protests” against the electric car models.

Senate floor stunts proved a less than useless salve for sinking approval as they epitomized the Democratic Party’s “pathetic incoherence.” “Oh my goodness gracious, you just can’t get it worse than these numbers.” With all the drama of Shakespeare, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D) embarked on a marathon speech to kick off the week, surpassing 25 hours of “sound and fury signifying nothing.” The political theater was followed by a self-congratulatory media tour that proved Spartacus the ultimate April Fool as new polling data found his party sunk to a new low with a mere 21% approval among voters.

In a candid interview, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams shared their experiences during the Boeing Starliner’s first crewed flight which left them stranded in space for nine months. According to Wilmore, thruster failures almost doomed the pair to a fate far worse than an extended stay aboard the International Space Station. The inaugural crewed mission of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) in June 2024 was marked by a series of thruster failures that left NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams in a precarious position.

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey claimed Tuesday President Donald Trump channeled “McCarthyism” by threatening to pull over $200 million in federal funds for Harvard University. The Trump administration is investigating the Ivy League school over its failure to address antisemitism on campus, particularly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel. Markey claimed the crackdown on antisemitism would “turn out very poorly” for the United States. [Video] “Look, anti-Semitism is wrong, anti-Semitism must be fought, anti-Semitism is something that we cannot tolerate in our nation,” Markey claimed. “But authoritarianism is not the answer to anti-Semitism.

On Tuesday, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill approving the sale of Ivermectin over the counter without a prescription. Arkansas Senate Bill 189 authorizes Ivermectin for human use to be sold without prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional. Arkansas is the second state to make the drug available without a prescription, joining Tennessee. State Senator Alan Clark (R-Lonsdale), who co-sponsored the bill, argued in committee, “I’m more trusting of my constituents’ and friends’ common sense than I am of the medical industry at the moment.” During the height of the pandemic, the Biden regime demonized the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid and other health concerns

A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump. The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs. Four Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — voted for the measure. They voted to express their disapproval of Trump’s tariffs on Canada

What is it you are hoping to learn from them?” Schiff said, “Well, today as you know, we saw the case, the corruption case against the mayor of New York dismissed with prejudice. That means that case can never be brought again. It wasn’t dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt. Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day. The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.

Members of the WHCA, who are apparently a bunch of toddlers throwing a tantrum over the change, considered doing a 1960s style ‘sit-in’ protest in order to object to the changes. The left views the entire world as a liberal college campus. This is just more proof of that.
