Stop Illegal Entry Act reaches Senate with 10–20 year sentences for criminal reentrants

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice The House voted 226–197 to pass the Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025 (H.R. 3486). The bill updates 8 U.S.C. § 1325 and § 1326, the federal laws on illegal entry and reentry, and was received in the Senate on September 15, where it now awaits committee consideration. For first-time offenders, the penalty doesn’t change — up to six months in jail. But, anyone caught crossing again could face up to five years in prison and a fine. The bill also sets penalties for people who try to help others cross illegally. The biggest changes involve reentry after deportation. The baseline remains up to two years. But if someone has three or more misdemeanors involving drugs or crimes against others, or any felony, the maximum rises to 10...

FBI sources say Biden shielded Burisma probe to protect Hunter

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist The outrageous connections described in these newly released documents scream to be fully explained to the American people. While he was vice president, Joe Biden stepped onto taxpayer-funded Air Force 2, traveled to Ukraine, and conducted personal business with Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko. He was there “to protect the interests of Hunter Biden,” according to documents released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the oversight of the FBI. The new documents strengthen the information in previously released records. Last Congress, Grassley released FBI 1023 records — statements from confidential sources — alleging that when Biden was vice president, executives for Ukrainian gas...

China Hails TikTok Deal as ‘Win-Win’ While U.S. Pushes for Control

By Jim Pollard with Reuters | Asia Financial Chinese shareholders’ stake will be cut to below 20%, while Andreessen, Silver Lake and Oracle look set to be key players in the new firm running TikTok in the US China has hailed the agreement reached with US trade officials on the operations of TikTok in the United States as a “win-win” deal. The framework agreement achieved in Madrid on Monday will see the US operations of the popular short-video app switch to local owners because of a law passed last year by Congress, which deemed Chinese ownership of TikTok a national security risk and that parent company Bytedance must divest its holding or face a ban. The deal is expected to see Bytedance and Chinese shareholders’ stake reduced to below 20%, while tech giant Oracle, venture ca...

‘Arctic Frost,’ FBI probe into Trump swept up Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA, Grassley points to DOJ weaponization

By Ashley Oliver | Fox News Senate Judiciary chairman releases new documents showing scope of 2022 election-related probe Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed Tuesday that the FBI's election-related investigation into President Donald Trump, launched in 2022, swept in dozens of Republican entities, including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. Speaking during a hearing focused on oversight of the FBI, Grassley said the investigation, which the bureau called "Arctic Frost," was partisan in nature and that its expansive scope was evidence of that. "In other words, Arctic Frost wasn't just a case to politically investigate Trump," Grassley said. "It was a vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could ac...

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot near site of Charlie Kirk’s murder

By Jerry Dunleavy, Gelet Fragela and Steven Richards | Just the News The group trains gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system. There is at this time no evidence linking the group to Tyler Robinson, Kirk's accused assassin. Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America’s most conservative states. Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism. Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to enc...

Why the murder of Charlie Kirk strikes at America’s core values

By Faye Barnhart | Commentary, Colorado Life Initiative Note: Since originally posting this blog, it is reported that the alleged murderer has been taken into custody. For every university professor, news reporter, and opinion writer who alleged that loving God and country is somehow 'fascist', or that upholding morals and free speech and engaging in honest debate is somehow 'hate', you provided the seeds of hate to reap a murder. I pray you look in the mirror and don't like what you see. For what comes out of your mouth is flowing from your own heart (Luke 6:45). We are mourning the death of Charlie Kirk who went to be with the Lord September 10, 2025, and we pray that God comfort his wife and young children, and all those mourning with them, as only God can. Charlie's assignmen...

State Department Warns Foreigners Who Promote Violence Are Not Welcome in America

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The State Department said that "foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome" to the U.S., following the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. "In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted on X on Thursday. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people." ...

Former Army Commander Warns America Still Vulnerable 24 Years After 9/11

By Rick Lynch | Commentary, The Daily Wire In order to maintain our freedoms we need a strong military. The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, were a wake-up call for America, and I sincerely hope it is not one we as a nation have forgotten. There are still folks out there who hate our freedoms and our way of life. We are no longer protected by oceans and geographical distance from potential enemies. We must always remember we are a nation at risk and be prepared for the next attack. I do believe in peace through strength. I was the Assistant Division Commander for the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division on the 11th of September in 2001. I was in the middle of packing to head to the airport when my wife Sarah asked me to turn on the television. Those TV images are still etch...

Operation Midway Blitz launched in Chicago to tackle crime crisis

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist DHS says the new effort is in honor of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a hit-and-run car crash earlier this year. A lot of things about Jan. 19, 2025, haunt Joe Abraham’s dreams. But one fact in particular about the way in which his 20-year-old daughter, Katie, was senselessly killed that day in a hit-and run crash keeps him up at night.  “They didn’t just kill Katie. They killed Katie’s kids, Katie’s kids’ kids. Her legacy is no longer there. She has been stopped,” Abraham, of Glenview, Ill., told The Federalist in an interview Monday evening.  You just can’t get past that,” the grieving father added. “Not only did she get a death sentence and we all got a life sentence, but her whole chain has been broken. And the silence [from Illin...
