The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform. The Insurrection Act needs a major overhaul. Originally enacted in 1792, the law grants the president the authority to deploy the U.S. military domestically and use it against Americans under certain conditions. While there are rare circumstances in which such authority might be necessary, the law, which has not been meaningfully updated in over 150 years, is dangerously overbroad and ripe for abuse.

The SCIF @TheIntelSCIF OBAMA was running a MONEY LAUNDERING operation through the CAYMAN ISLANDS using USAID as a front, DISGUISED as "FOREIGN AID." You just can't make this stuff up. It ALWAYS seems to be the same culprits, the same groups, and the same people. Every, single, time. During the Obama USAID era, we were running rogue operations in Cuba. USAID pumped $1.2 BILLION into activist groups, teaching them how to use Facebook, Twitter, hashtags, and coordinate street protests. All of it was structured to fool the American people, Congress, and even the White House. Obama even secretly funded a...

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller brawled with CNN’s Boris Sanchez over President Donald Trump’s effort to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and whether some anti-ICE activists qualify as domestic terrorists during a heated Monday afternoon interview.

Virginia Democrat AG nominee Jay Jones allegedly said police officers dying would stop them from killing Carrie Coyner, who released text showing Jones fantasized about shooting a GOP leader & his children being killed, said Jones made the remarks about police on the phone

Federal prosecutors say a Latin King gang leader offered a $10,000 bounty for the killing of a senior immigration enforcement officer after an ICE agent shot a woman in Chicago this weekend. A source familiar with the investigation identified the intended target as Commander Gregory Bovino, who has been leading the Border Patrol’s high-profile “Midway Blitz” operation in the city. Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, known by the street name “Monkey,” is accused of offering $10,000 reward for Bovino’s murder and $2,000 for information about Bovino’s location. Investigators linked Martinez to the communications through subscriber records and a phone number tied...

There is growing evidence that city officials knew, or should have known, about dangerous living conditions inside a South Shore apartment building long before federal immigration agents raided it last week. Wells Fargo, has been pressuring its owner to “re-assert control over the building.” In a recent court filing, the bank claimed “the building is unsecured, which allows non-tenants to access the interior. There has also been increased criminal activity and shootings at the property, which is located across the street from an elementary school.” While recent coverage framed the raid as the breaking point, Head’s videos show the building...

This is a much bigger scandal than the media can wrap their arms around, and it is a little frustrating.As we have repeatedly outlined, FBI spying operations in 2015/2016 shifted into FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” that shifted into FBI operations with Robert Mueller, that shifted into FBI operations with impeachment, that shifted into FBI operations with J6 targeting aka “Arctic Frost,” that shifted into FBI operations with Jack Smith. It is all part of one long continuum.Now the FBI is releasing information that Arctic Frost also resulted in the surveillance of members of congress. The phone records of several members...

The failed Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, juiced his hate rhetoric against President Trump and his supporters on Monday with the false claim that they want “a rematch of the Civil War.” He went on to declare that President Trump “has declared war on the people of Chicago and on the people across the country.” “I say very candidly that the right wing in this country want a rematch of the Civil War,” the disgraced mayor bellowed. “I want that to set in right now because the President of the United States of America has declared war on the people...

NORFOLK, VA — State attorney general nominee Jay Jones was seen relaxing after a stressful day on the campaign trail by repeatedly stabbing his trusty Republican voodoo doll. "Die! I hope you and your children die!" Jones reportedly screamed at the tourist novelty he had picked up from a New Orleans gift shop. "Aww. So relaxing." According to sources, Jones travels everywhere with his Republican voodoo doll, treating it almost like a security blanket. He reportedly bought it back in 2022 after fantasizing about shooting then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert and wishing death upon his children. "I can't believe I...

Mark Bray, a financier of international Antifa and the author of the Antifa Handbook, has announced he is fleeing to Europe (believed to be Spain). The announcement follows the U.S. government declaring Antifa domestic terrorists, and the intelligence community looking to establish the international links to declare international Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization.Without evidence, Bray says the reason is because of "death threats + doxing." Bray is one of the major financiers of the International Antifa Defence Fund, which also announced that it was shutting down to relocate its operations abroad in an attempt to escape U.S. prosecution.@RutgersU employs...

Amy McGrath announced on Monday that she is once again running for Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat. McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, said in a post to X announcing her candidacy that “Kentuckians deserve someone battle-tested and ready to fight for them on day one.” She is joining a growing field of candidates in the race to succeed McConnell, who announced his retirement in February. McGrath’s campaign did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment. The former Marine was soundly defeated by McConnell in the 2020 Kentucky Senate election, despite significantly outraising him. She notched over $94,120,557...

Chinese illegal immigrants are obtaining commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) and landing jobs in the U.S. trucking industry with support from a Chinese government-linked network, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. The Chinese American Trucker Organization USA Inc. (CATOU) is a New York-based nonprofit trade organization registered as a 501(c)6 that has allegedly helped over 1,000 Chinese students obtain CDLs and has a 100% pass rate, according to its business filings, social media posts and website. Videos posted on social media by an individual who crossed the U.S. southern border illegally shows they were able to rapidly obtain California CDLs...

On CNN This Morning, in a discussion of President Trump pressuring Bibi Netanyahu over the latest Gaza peace proposal, Stephen Collinson, the ponderous CNN senior politics reporter, said: "What's been missing in all of his peace efforts so far in Israel and in Ukraine, is his willingness to impose power and leverage, American leverage. We often talk about more nefarious ways he does it in the United States, but is this exactly what should be happening now, that Trump is finally standing behind his statements?" So, suggests Collinson, Trump applying "nefarious ways" to Israel is "exactly what should be happening...

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson's decision to align himself with the masked Antifa "protesters" confronting the ICE agents attempting to enforce America's immigration laws has created an inverted sense of justice in the city. At a demonstration outside the ICE offices in the city Antifa goons proceeded to attack journalist Nick Sortor who was observing the demonstration. Though outnumbered, Sorter's efforts to defend himself attracted the attention of the Portland Police who arrested him "for his own protection." The arresting officer explained "first of all, there was only one of him and dozens of Antifa. Arresting Sorter was feasible with minimal...

Confused or dishonest “populists” are attacking Trump antitrust officials for focusing on censorship and DEI rather than mundane economic issues. In doing so, they forget why the MAGA movement turned on Big Tech in the first place. America First Conservatives reject laissez-faire tech regulation because of Silicon Valley’s jihad against free speech, where dissidents were censored just for going against woke dogmas and being deemed “bigoted” by liberal apparatchiks. Fortunately, many parts of the tech industry appear to be turning a new corner. With X leading the way, free speech is now making a comeback on tech platforms. The Trump...

Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant has issued a 20-page removal notice to X on September 26, demanding the platform censor 23 specific posts featuring raw CCTV clips showing the last moments of Iryna Zarutska's life for Australian users. If X doesn't comply, it faces fines of AU$825,000 per day. Among the targeted posts are commentaries about the slaying of Zarutska on her way to work by a convicted criminal on a train carriage, with many of the posts by journalists and online commentators criticising the double standards of the West when white women are murdered by criminals. Inman-Grant, who has...

VIDEOThe state of Illinois appears to be in state of Open Rebellion against enforcement of the immigration Laws. One big example of this rebellion happened in Chicago when members of ICE were under assault and aid was requested of the local police. However, the Chief of Patrol REFUSED to give them any aid thus endangering the lives of the ICE crew. Of course, this would not have happened without the consent of the deranged Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Fortunately, the voters have an opportunity to soon let their feelings on this Open Rebellion be known since there will soon be...

In criminal prosecution, like construction, the smallest crack in the foundation can bring down the entire structure. The case against Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk, appears solid from the outside – confession texts, a recovered weapon, witnesses by the thousands. But beneath this seemingly ironclad exterior, a troubling vulnerability has emerged that should concern every American who values justice. Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while speaking to 3,000 supporters at Utah Valley University on September 10. A single bullet to the neck silenced one of conservatism’s most influential young...
