ICE under siege in LA as Trump steps in, Newsom fumes

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) took his frustrations to social media on Saturday as President Donald Trump federalized 2,000 California National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Trump sent in the National Guard after two days of rioting in which black-clad radicals attacked federal law enforcement officials who were arresting illegal aliens in the city. https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1931564316932571281 The rioters set fire to cars, tagged federal buildings with graffiti, and attacked federal officers. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1931520821471928407 City and state officials did little to stop the violence, other than offering their support for “immigrants” and criticizing the Trump administration. ...

D-Day remembered: Fort Carson’s Sgt. Simmons honors family legacy of valor on 81st anniversary

By Mary Shinn | Denver Gazette A Fort Carson soldier honored his family’s history this week in France ahead of commemorating the 81st anniversary of D-Day on Friday. On Monday, Sgt. John Simmons visited the grave of his great-great-uncle Cpl. Raymond Parry in St. Mihiel American Cemetery, marking the first time in 95 years a member of the family visited the grave of the World War I soldier who never went home to Wyoming. Later in the week, he expected to receive his promotion to staff sergeant on Utah Beach, a battle site his great-grandfather Glenn Thomas Workman passed through as part of the 6th Armored Division, after it was secured 81 years ago. Simmons comes from a long line of service members on both sides of his family, including three members who served in World War I a...

From Colorado to D.C.: Multi-state voter fraud investigation unfolds

By Candace Hathaway | The Blaze ‘We must send a clear message that election fraud won’t be tolerated.’ Election integrity has become a top concern among the American public, and Ohio is leading an effort to address those concerns and root out fraud. On Tuesday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) revealed that an ongoing review discovered potential voter fraud impacting eight states and Washington, D.C. “During an ongoing review of the Ohio Voter Registration Database using state and federal data, evidence of 30 noncitizen registrations were uncovered by Election Integrity Unit investigators.

Power Behind the Pen: Trump Launches DOJ Review of Biden’s Executive Orders

By Naomi Lim | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump has ordered an unprecedented investigation into former President Joe Biden‘s administration amid concerns his predecessor and his aides covered up his cognitive decline. “In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden’s aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,” Trump wrote in a presidential memorandum signed on Wednesday. “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” The president added: “Given clear indications that President Biden lacked the capacity to exercise his Presidential authority, if his advisors secretly use...

Garbo: A Christian conservative’s honest, loving perspective on LGBTQIA+ and sin

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m a Christian. I’m a Conservative. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, not a suggestion, not a cultural relic, but the truth. And, though it is admittedly very difficult to do at times, I also believe deeply in loving my neighbor - all of them - unconditionally. That includes the LGBTQIA+ community. Let’s be honest: Pride Month brings up tension, especially for those of us who don't support the ideology or the prurient displays often celebrated in public forums. But disagreement is not hate. Conviction is not fear. And rejecting a behavior doesn’t mean rejecting a person. If I’m going to be consistent with my faith, then I have to love people - really love them - even when I believe they're sinning. I’m called to lo...

DOJ: Anti-Israel protester on Columbia University campus had direct Hamas connection

By Megan Palin | New York Post A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal. Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents. The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus. Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Ha...

Trump issues visa ban impacting 19 countries, effective June 9

By Jack Phillips | Epoch Times Afghanistan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Burma, Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen face total bans.

Boulder terrorist case reveals immigration enforcement blind spot: overstayed visas

By Miriam Jordan | New York Times Unlawful border crossings dominate the political debate about immigration. But estimates suggest 40 percent of undocumented people entered the United States lawfully and then stayed. The suspect in the Boulder, Colo., attack highlights a type of immigrant who has been largely absent from the heated political messaging on immigration: a person who arrives in the United States legally, on a tourist or other temporary visa, and remains after their permission to stay has lapsed. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national accused of carrying out the attack in Colorado, entered on a tourist visa in August 2022 that would have allowed him to remain in the country for six months once he presented his passport to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection offic...

Musk rips House-passed ‘Big Beautiful Bill’: “Disgusting abomination”

By Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire "Shame on those who voted for it." On Tuesday, tech billionaire Elon Musk unleashed his ire at the House-passed version of the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which has the blessing of his former boss, President Donald Trump. The massive bill, which is now being considered by the Republican-led Senate, contains many provisions in line with Trump’s second-term agenda, but also is estimated to add trillions of dollars to the national debt, already nearing $37 trillion. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk said in a post on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” He added in another post, “It...
