WASHINGTON — President Trump and top officials blamed Dem Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “inciting” anti-ICE protesters, including Alex Pretti — drawing a line between the chaos in the Twins Cities and the Trump admin’s investigation of massive benefits fraud in the state. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the Trump administration began its massive immigration crackdown in Minnesota in response to the stagging welfare scandal the focused on the Somali immigrant community.“We saw a resistance in Minneapolis like we haven’t seen anywhere else in this country,” Noem told Fox News’ “The Sunday Briefing....

DENVER, Colo. (WPRI) — If you’re planning to make the trip to Colorado for the AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, the home team is limiting who can buy tickets. If you try to buy a ticket through Ticketmaster, the following message appears on the screen: “Due to limited availability, tickets will be sold only to those with a billing address in the Rocky Mountain region, including Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota and Western Kansas.” For those who live outside of that region and want to go to the game, you’ll...

As the crisis rages in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with no relief in sight, I offer my proposed solution to ending the mayhem. As John points out, none of this unrest is occurring anywhere else in America, or any other city, other than Minneapolis. Gov. Tim Walz has proposed as a comprise solution that all federal law enforcement should leave the state, immediately, so that no federal laws will be enforced. In exchange, Walz is willing to continue accepting tens-of-billions of dollars in federal taxpayer money, which he will happily forward to the fraudsters bankrolling the Democratic party in the state. My...

Explanation: This moon is doomed. Mars, the red planet named for the Roman god of war, has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, whose names are derived from the Greek for Fear and Panic. These Martian moons may well be captured asteroids originating in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or perhaps from even more distant reaches of our Solar System. The larger moon, Phobos, is indeed seen to be a cratered, asteroid-like object in this stunning color image from the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which can image objects as small as 10 meters. But Phobos orbits so...

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — American rock climber Alex Honnold ascended the Taipei 101 skyscraper on Sunday without any ropes or protective equipment. Cheers erupted from a street-level crowd as he reached the top of the spire of the 508-meter (1,667-foot) tower about 90 minutes after he started. Wearing a red short-sleeve shirt, Honnold waved his arms back and forth over his head. “It was like what a view, it’s incredible, what a beautiful day,” he said afterward. “It was very windy, so I was like, don’t fall off the spire. I was trying to balance nicely. But it was, what...

linkPresident Trump already gave a videotaped message

The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do! Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account? And where are the Tens of Billions of Dollars that have been stolen from the once Great State of Minnesota? We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud, with Billions of Dollars missing, and Illegal Criminals that were allowed to infiltrate the State through the Democrats’ Open Border Policy. We want the money...

Trump’s critics charge him with violating both domestic and international law by using the U.S. military to target drug cartels and drug runners, claiming that his actions are unprecedented. But as far back as the Reagan administration in 1986, U.S. Army infantry and aviation assets operated with Bolivian forces against drug producers in that country. And in 1993, President Bill Clinton issued a Presidential Decision Directive on Counternarcotics in the Western Hemisphere, assigning a substantial role in drug interdiction to the military.The National Defense Authorization Act of 1995 authorized use of military assets in drug interdiction: 14 USC Section 526...

Under the Constitution, we have a democratic republic. The nation’s immigration laws were enacted in conformity with the Constitution by duly elected officials of the Legislative and Executive Branches of the federal government. The immigration laws have been held to be constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, which comprises justices nominated and confirmed by the Executive and the Legislative Branches. The Democrats are acting in opposition to the Constitution. The Democrats’ conduct constitutes a rejection of the democratic republican form of government established by the Constitution. Under the Constitution, if the Democrats want to stop enforcement of the duly enacted...

The parents of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the armed anti-ICE protester killed by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis, are scorching the Trump administration for "sickening lies" about their son. "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting," said Michael and Susan Pretti. "Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs." "He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed." "We are heartbroken...

President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that more than $100 billion may have been stolen from Minnesota over the years, accusing "corrupt politicians and fraudsters" of what he called massive theft and fraud and warning that Democrat-led states such as California would be "worse." In posts on Truth Social, Trump alleged that the scale of wrongdoing in Minnesota could surpass the nine-figure threshold, though he offered no documentation or official findings to support the estimate. "It is actually possible that the total amount of money stolen, over the years, by corrupt politicians and fraudsters, from Minnesota, will exceed $100 billion,"...

Israeli journalist Rina Mazliah set off a firestorm on Thursday when she said during an Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation-Kan Reshet Bet broadcast that she was "disgusted" by a soccer player who recited "Shema Yisrael" (Hear o' Israel - Deuteronomy 6:4) verse while taking the field. "I see at soccer games, every player that takes the field goes 'Shema Yisrael'... It's disgusting. I mean, why 'Shema Yisrael' when you take the field? It's disgusting, Akiva, disgusting. Go in, play, why 'Shema Yisrael' in the middle of a soccer game?" Matzliah said. The remarks garnered fierce reactions on the net, with many...
