After a night with lots of bloodshed, it appears that the IRGC military are backing down. The Iranian demonstrators have taken over the streets in major cities again.

Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state. "Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening. Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

After authorities said two people were injured in a shooting involving a federal agent on Thursday, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called "on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

Democrat politicians have put countless lives at risk becasue they can’t accept an administration that vigorously enforces U.S. immigration laws. The tragedy that unfolded Wednesday as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman in Minnesota who appeared to be driving at him should never have happened. Democrat politicians, looking to take every action to impede immigration enforcement absolutely created the conditions over the past year for what transpired. The initial reaction to the incident by the most prominent Minnesota officials, Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, was horrendous, of course. Frey...

Interview with Mahyar Tousi. Some important and worrying news: The regime has been able to shut down the Internet in Iran. Only Starlink open for posting videos and other news. The police has been retracted from the streets. Instead the regime has sent out the military. Very large demonstrations expected tonight. According to M Tousi on the few videos that now have reached the West lots of shooting.

Tensions have been high in Minnesota, particularly after the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) recent announcement that they’d be sending 2,000 ICE officers to the state. After the January 7 shooting that killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz responded in a press conference, calling for protestors to remain calm, and rejecting any further federal law enforcement be sent to the Twin Cities. “I have a very simple message, Walz said, “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough.” DHS Secretary Noem herself held two separate...

January 7, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. “Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good,” said Rep. Kelly. “From Chicago to Charlotte to Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Secretary Noem is...

Democrats seem to think that laws and policies they don’t like can be thwarted by an angry mob or an insurrectionist governor. Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left. In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National...

Well, that escalated quickly. According to Tim Walz, Minnesota is at war with the federal government. He is calling out the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans against "rogue federal agents." Uh, wut? Even before the video came out that almost certainly showed that the woman who was unfortunately killed had surged her car and actually struck the federal agent who shot her, Minnesota's politicians ramped up the rhetoric, calling it murder and demanding that the federal government remove its law enforcement agents from the state. From everything I can see, Walz and Frey have been egging on the confrontations...

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed a Minneapolis woman was hit by her car in the episode. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him,” Noem said. “He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” She said there would be no pause in the Trump administration’s immigration actions in the city. Earlier in the day, outgoing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) railed against the Trump administration after an Immigration and...

Furious protesters burned the American flag on the streets of Minneapolis as the city descended into chaos after a woman was shot dead by an ICE agent. Shocking footage showed the Stars and Stripes being set aflame as hordes took to the streets on Wednesday. The protesters shouted anti-ICE chants as they burned the flag, while others threw snowballs at and physically confronted agents. The chaotic scenes came after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot in the head by an ICE agent. Tensions have reached fever pitch in the city as the Department of Homeland Security conducts its biggest...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the state "doesn't need any further help from the federal government" after federal officials reported a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis.

January 6th was terrifying for many Americans. After all, they saw it on television. But what did they really see? Did they know what actually unfolded that day? Did they even ask? Trump is the Jan. 6 President, proclaims the New York Times’ Editorial Board. And the text: What I learned, living through these events as a former Democrat, is that the New York Times Editorial Board is lying through its teeth. Or maybe they aren’t lying. Maybe they really do believe it. They exist inside the Doomsday Cult of the Left, after all, along with all of those high-minded...

A far-left Maine Democratic Senate hopeful who once had a Nazi-linked tattoo has called upon his “fellow comrades” to resist President Trump in the wake of his actions in Venezuela and “retake’’ the US. “Friends and comrades, we have a fight ahead of us. This is gangsterism on an international scale,” Graham Platner raged at a gathering with supporters Saturday in Portland. Platner’s rallying cry came hours after the Trump administration launched a major operation in the South American country and took its dictator, alleged narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro, and his wife into custody. “The only way for us to...

INSANE! Dick Durbin THREATENS to prosecute federal law enforcement officers for enforcing the law if Democrats gain power.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was mobbed and surrounded by a crowd of unhinged leftists after exiting a House Homeland Security Committee Hearing, where she testified on threats to the homeland and illegal immigration. Noem testified alongside National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent and FBI National Security Branch Operations Director Michael Glasheen on Thursday. She departed the hearing early to co-chair a hearing where she will receive a report from the FEMA Review Council on suggested changes to the program. Immediately when she exited the room, leftists could be heard on the hearing room’s feed screaming and interrupting the hearing. WATCH:...

Another connection that bridges this historical cooperation between the far right and far left into the modern age of terrorism is that between Carlos the Jackal and the Swiss Nazi Francois Genoud. Genoud's life, in fact, spans the history of this collaboration. Francois Genoud was an early admirer and proponent of Adolf Hitler's, and a founder of the National Front, a Swiss Nazi party. Genoud met and befriended Haj Amin al-Husseini and worked with him to recruit Arabs into the service of the Nazis. He also set up the Banque Commerciale Arabe in Geneva with Syrian money and ran the...
