Forty years ago this month, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), a law intended as a grand bargain: legalizing millions of illegal aliens while establishing workplace enforcement to end the economic magnet that encouraged illegal immigration. Spoiler alert: the amnesty happened, the enforcement did not.

Another NFL star is raising questions about the U.S. moon landing. In a recent interview, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye shared he’s unsure if the United States really landed on the moon in 1969. Maye made his comments during a recent radio interview where he stated, “I’m not really sure 200% if we went there or not.” Boston 25 News was the first to report on Maye’s comments on the moon landing: New England Patriots QB Drake Maye has revealed he isn’t quite sure a famous touchdown really happened. During an appearance on WEEI on Monday, the topic of...

The e-commerce giant just dropped what it’s calling Amazon’s About You — essentially a showcase of your personality based on previous purchases, conversations with Alexa for shopping, any written product reviews and more. Technically, the retailer has been offering personalized shopping recs for years, using algorithms to push products it thinks you will like. Today, it does the same thing but on a bigger scale. This time, the popular commerce site has created an editable section for shoppers — which some folks are calling a personal dossier — where all of your habits and likes are displayed for you. The...

Four seconds. Four brutal seconds of utter silence that must have felt like an eternity for CBS News immigration correspondent Camilo Montoya-Galvez as he stared blankly at White House Border Czar Tom Homan, completely incapable of answering a simple question from the latter during an interview on Friday. Montoya-Galvez learned the hard way that you better do your homework when attempting to embarrass Homan with a statistic about ICE detention deaths. Failure to do so can result in permanent humiliation especially if you blank out for four full seconds and as an encore continuing to fail to provide an answer...

A New Hampshire fisherman caught the state’s largest bluefin tuna weighing over 1,100 pounds — smashing a record that had stood for more than a decade. Brandon McGirl was hoping to reel in anything when he boarded the Out of Line, a Savage Charters NH boat captained by Jamie Savage, on Saturday for an overnight fishing trip out of Rye Harbor on the New Hampshire Seacoast, WMUR reported. “It was very difficult conditions to try and fish. It was a little bit rougher than we were hoping for,” McGirl told the outlet. The crew chased the fish for about a...

No one has ever had a valid excuse for shrinking from the duty to fight evil. When I came home from the war in Korea in 1955, I realized America was moving away from its cultural base, a foundation rooted in civilization strongly influenced by Christianity. I could sense it in mainstream media turning toward the Left. This essentially Marxist spin in commentary and news reporting indicated that America was facing domestic enemies as well as foreign ones. Naming this country’s Marxist enemies, for that is what the Left consists of, inevitably points to communists, socialists, and various other collectivists;...

There are tens of thousands of foreign academics in this country. Many of them hate us. And do whatever malicious mischief they can. Take Guangtian Ha, an assistant professor of religion at Haverford College and Chinese Muslim scholar, is now accused of pretending to be a Groyper using an X account named ‘America1st’ to send antisemitic death threats. It makes me wonder how many of these trolls all over X, pretending to be American admirers of Hitler are some Chinese or Pakistani troll with a PhD. (Incidentally, we’ve got a fairly sophisticated troll of this variety operating on our site...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/8/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 46[a]For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.[b] A song.1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will...

With the October 7, 2023, anniversary still resonating, reminding us of the horrific attacks in Israel, and with ugly antisemitism more ascendant than ever, including in America, are Jews deciding to abandon their religion? Much of the mainstream media has insisted that Jews are leaving Judaism in droves, but the data suggest the opposite. Instead, Jews are reaching out to each other as a means of solidarity, comfort, and faith, even as they watch antisemitic activity increase. Since this October 2026 marks only the third anniversary of the October 7 attack, it is challenging to determine the current state of...

The Democrats’ latest anti-Trump hoax is their most nonsensical, and yet of course, their media handmaidens pretend to swallow it hook, line and sinker. The claim is that President Trump stood up at his rally in Nebraska on Monday and invited Iran to bomb LA and San Diego. He actually said the opposite, as anyone honest with ears and a functioning brain knows. He was talking about how a temporary rise in gas prices was “a small price to pay” for stopping Iran from developing nuclear missiles that could annihilate the cities of our allies in Europe and the Middle...

The following stats are results from Gemini.ai searches. It, as well as perplexity.ai were basically asked to elaborate on future societal negative effects that can be reasonably expected as a result. Their answers help reveal the current state of their respective programing, and you can judge their expectations. 67% of today's adults say they went to church every week when they were children. A Gallup tracking poll found that only 31% of parents with minor children attend church weekly or nearly weekly. Evangelical Protestant families have the highest rates of attendance; 64% of evangelical teenagers say they attend church weekly....

The Haverford case exposes a pattern that deserves far more scrutiny: 1. Publicly hide behind “anti-Israel” or “anti-Zionist” rhetoric—and even blame Israel for antisemitism. 2. Wrap yourself in the language of “Free Palestine.” 3. Operate behind multiple aliases and anonymous accounts. Then, the mask comes off: explicit antisemitic threats, Nazi references, Holocaust rhetoric, and threats directed at a Jewish victim and his family. The Guangtian Ha case is a particularly stark example of what prosecutors allege happened when the anonymity came off. The question is not whether criticism of Israel is legitimate—it obviously can be. The question is what someone’s...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is accusing the Biden administration of “dereliction of duty” after a DHS Office of Inspector General report revealed that the administration took little to no action to deal with noncitizens who illegally overstayed their authorized periods in the United States, including those deemed threats to national security. The OIG report found that Biden’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) received 3,145,375 nonimmigrant visa overstay leads during fiscal years 2021–2024, with 104,049 (3.3 percent) flagged as potential national security or public safety concerns. ICE opened only 496 investigations into those flagged leads and made only eight...

The results of the recent Palestinian student council elections are a clear warning to Israel, the United States and the World. Bassam Tawil. (June 6, 2023 / JNS) Palestinians have once again shown that their real heroes, sadly, are those who carry out terrorist attacks against Jews and seek the elimination of Israel. The underlying message the Hamas-affiliated lists sent to the thousands of students at the two campuses was: Vote for us because we explicitly and unreservedly uphold the armed struggle against Israel and promise to continue the jihad (holy war) to murder Jews and replace Israel with a...

Gov. Kathy Hochul was one of a handful of Democratic governors to stockpile pills used in medication abortion amid fears the U.S. Supreme Court could restrict access three years ago. But a feared shortage of the drug never materialized. Now, 150,000 pills in the state’s possession have all expired — and not a single one was distributed. The state Department of Health says it will soon destroy its reserve of misoprostol pills, which is enough for 12,500 doses. That’s in contrast to California, which took steps to distribute its supply to providers, and Oregon, which reupped its stock at no...

There are "no innocent people" in Gaza and Israel should "also kill two-week-old babies" in the Palestinian enclave, Israel's former prime minister Yair Lapid has recounted young Israelis telling him. "I heard all the rhetoric of: 'they all need to be killed,' 'there are no innocent people'," Lapid said in an interview on Wednesday, describing "a furious and painful meeting with a group of really young people" he had recently met. The former prime minister, who is now part of the centrist-right wing alliance of the Together party, added that he asked them, "What about babies? They said: 'babies too,...
