A plan at Utah Valley University (UVU) to create a memorial to Charlie Kirk has been met by protests and a petition signed by thousands to block the effort. One protester declared, “We don’t want his likeness on campus.” That is hardly a new sentiment since Kirk was assassinated on the campus on Sept. 10, 2025. However, the protest shows the sense of license that many have in opposing anyone with conflicting views, including those represented in memorials. I have a long history with UVU and was pleased to receive the Madison award from the university, and was declared an...

A North Texas woman has been arrested in connection with a violent July 4 attack on a federal immigration detention center in Alvarado where masked assailants opened fire on police and vandalized vehicles, according to arrest records. Janette Goering was arrested at her home in Carrollton on Oct. 21, according to the DFW Support Committee, a group formed by friends, family members and supporters of those arrested in connection with the incident at the Prairieland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Center. She is in the Johnson County Jail and is being charged with aiding in the commission of...

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday night that the Justice Department has opened investigations into Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot over sustained efforts to dox and obstruct federal immigration agents. While speaking with Fox News, host Jesse Watters asked about recent comments from former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who announced a new project aimed at “unmasking” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents nationwide. “We want to create a centralized archive of all the purported criminal actions of ICE and CBP agents,” Lightfoot said of her new website while...

The first video “Richard LA” posted to TikTok appeared on Aug. 21, 2024. “Accident at 27th and San Pedro,” he wrote in Spanish under video clips showing two damaged cars and paramedics pushing a man on a gurney into an ambulance. “2 people were taken to the hospital.” “Richard LA” was actually Carlitos Ricardo Parias, 44, a father of two living in southern Los Angeles. His TikTok feed soon filled with similar clips. A fire at a home on 36th and Trinity streets. A car crash on 29th Street and Maple Avenue. His audience grew steadily over the ensuing months....

(ZeroHedge)—Los Angeles schoolteacher and prominent anti-ICE activist Ron Gochez has suggested that if the Trump administration continues to round up illegal aliens, they may wind up on the receiving end of a bullet. “This is South Central Los Angeles,” Gochez told a crowd at a Tuesday evening anti-ICE protest. “They are not the only ones with guns in this city. They’re not the only ones and don’t forget that.” Click here for video.

The national body of Students for Justice in Palestine backed Hamas’s grisly public executions of fellow Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, posting “Death to the Occupation, Death to Collaborators” on Instagram. The call for executions followed the murder of “journalist” Saleh Al-Jafarawi, known to critics as “Mr. FAFO” because he would post complaints about Israeli counterattacks after posting happily about Hamas attacks. Gaza has erupted into internecine violence since the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to agreed-upon ceasefire lines last Friday. Hamas has been executing members of rival armed groups and armed clans. Often, the executions are...

Today’s “anti-terror” drill in Pottawattamie County, Iowa has been put on hold due to the efforts of true patriots and loyal Americans. The very real threat of a terrorist incident is something that we as Americans have been increasingly forced to prepare for in the post 9/11 world. (Snip) Due to public indignation over the obvious political agenda of the “anti-terror” exercise, local organizers decided to cancel the event. The official response to charges of a carefully crafted political bias in the scenario was predictable. “In no way has our office or any other response agencies favored a political view

WASHINGTON — Former Republican attorney George Conway appeared to embrace Antifa during Saturday’s “No Kings” rally in the nation’s capital. Conway, a co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, attended the Washington, D.C. protest wearing a shirt reading, “I am Antifa.” The rally was one of numerous No Kings protests nationwide focused against the Trump administration and its policies.

On Thursday afternoon, FBI Director Kash Patel shared news related to arrests that were previously made in connection with the July 4th domestic terror attack at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvaredo, Texas, in which a police officer was shot in the neck. "First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas," Patel noted on X. "Under President Trump’s new authorities, we’ve made 20+ arrests. No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on my watch."First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent...

The Trump DOJ made history on Wednesday by announcing terrorism charges against Antifa militants for the first time. As Fox News reported, a federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa leftists with terrorism-related charges for an Independence Day attack on an ICE facility in Texas. The Gateway Pundit previously revealed that ten individuals were involved in a coordinated attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas. The individuals are alleged to be part of an Antifa cell from North Texas. According to the criminal complaint, the defendants, dressed in black military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks at the facility as part of...

Antifa rioters continue to plague American cities, but who pays for them? Seamus Bruner, VP of Research for the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), is just back from a White House panel last week where independent journalists who have covered Antifa’s activities explained their findings for several Cabinet secretaries and President Donald Trump himself, a surprise attendee. GAI’s crack team of researchers has already uncovered more than $100 million of taxpayer money fed into the protest industrial complex. Bruner shared GAI’s research with the president and the cabinet secretaries tracing the money that enables the rioting by Antifa and its allied...

Family members of law enforcement officers are facing threats from individuals affiliated with the far-left extremist group Antifa, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an Oct. 10 X post.“Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement. We will hunt these sickos down and put them behind bars,” the post said. “In Texas, the spouse of an ICE officer received a voicemail filled with violent threats.”The agency uploaded an audio clip of the threat received by the spouse, in which a woman can be heard using expletives against the wife of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)...

Christopher Hohn, a British billionaire and hedge fund manager, is cutting off funding to left-wing groups and causes after a report by Americans for Public Trust (APT). APT said in its report that the groups that received funding from the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), which lists Hohn as its founder and chair of board, "pushed for nothing less than the complete radicalization of the U.S. political landscape." CIFF, which has a reported $6 billion endowment, is "heavily funded by Hohn’s nearly $60 billion activist hedge fund," according to APT. "For far too long, Christopher Hohn, and other foreign billionaires...

A Rutgers University professor who taught a course on anti-fascism was blocked from leaving the US for Spain on Wednesday night, according to media reports, hours after Donald Trump hosted a White House roundtable highlighting the impact of antifa – or “anti-fascist” – far-left activists. Mark Bray, an historian who published the 2017 book Antifa: the Anti-Fascist Handbook, and has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport when he was informed at the boarding gate that the reservations for him and his family had been cancelled. The professor, nicknamed...

An online anarchist platform encouraged people on Wednesday to shine lasers at federal helicopters in Portland, Oregon, a crime that law enforcement officials say can create extreme danger for pilots. A post on the leftist, Portland-focused website “Rose City Counter-Info” tells viewers to scatter throughout the city’s streets on Saturday for the attack — nicknamed “Laser Tag” — as federal agents respond to demonstrations near the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The goal is to “ground” the helicopters by making it difficult to safely fly them and flash too many lasers for law enforcement to hunt down those...

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....

Antifa activists are hosting a three-day training conference for fellow antifascists in Philadelphia this week, despite Democrats insisting that antifa is not an organization. The annual Philly Skillshare Convergence will occur over the coming Friday through Sunday, according to an advertisement circulating in antifa circles. So-called “skillshares” are educational sessions where activists gather to learn street-level strategies, often militant in nature. This year’s skillshare in Philadelphia is slated to offer a series of hourlong workshops, including a lesson on evading law enforcement and eluding capture.

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer PROMISES he will stop President Trump's deployment of troops to Portland and ICE facilities to quell insurrection. "We will FIGHT IT! [...] This is SO FAR stepping over the line that I hope some [Republicans] will join us in legislation to prevent it - we HAVE such a proposal. I'm part of it." Good luck with that, Chuck. There is NOTHING illegal about the troops defending federal property.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical transgender activist has once again spotlighted the growing militancy inside the LGBTQ+ protest movement. What the mainstream media won’t tell you is that this rising wave of aggressive activism isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s being carefully studied, organized, and in some cases directly subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars. At the center of this network sits Erica Chenoweth, a Harvard professor who identifies as nonbinary and uses “they/them” pronouns. Chenoweth has built a career researching how youth and LGBTQ+ activists can be mobilized in protest movements, focusing less on morality or safety...

or years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass. But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows. Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans. This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the...
