Arrival of Tren de Aragua in the Windy City sets the stage for bloody turf wars

A reformed Chicago gangster sounds the alarm on what’s brewing in the Windy City: a metropolis “up in flames” and a bloody turf war of “blacks” versus “migrants.”

Tyrone Muhammad was once a Chiraq gangbanger whose life changed after he spent twenty years in a state prison for a murder conviction. Since his release, he’s devoted his energy to street patrols and violence prevention, starting a group known as Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change, and he’s warning the public about what he sees as a very real possibility if the Biden-Harris illegal aliens continue to be given the free rein on our tax dollars and in our nation.

Zelensky: Trump doesn’t know how to end war and Vance is too radical

Donald Trump doesn’t know how to stop the war in Ukraine, despite claiming he could end it on his first day as US president, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

In his harshest criticism yet of the Republican presidential nominee, the Ukrainian president also described Trump’s running mate JD Vance as “dangerous” and “too radical”.

“His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice,” Mr Zelensky said of Mr Vance in an interview with the New Yorker magazine before he flew to the US to present his “Victory Plan” to the White House this week. “But I believe that we have shielded America from total war.”

This will not win Hearts and Minds.

How political violence lost its power

Traumatised America doesn’t care anymore

Barely 24 hours after an armed man was found within several hundred yards of Donald Trump on his golf course in Florida, my local newspaper ran a piece with the following headline: “Would-be assassin soured on Trump: Who did he want as presidential and VP candidates?”

Great question. What, for that matter, did the wannabe killer, Ryan Routh think of the impending match-up on Monday Night Football? What were his thoughts on electric vehicles, school choice, weight loss drugs and parenting?

Venezuelan Gang’s Path to U.S. Stokes Fear, Crime and Border Politics

At the country’s southern border, U.S. Border Patrol agents have been on the lookout for members of a notorious Venezuelan gang. In the nation’s heartland, police officers from Denver to Chicago have made dozens of arrests for alleged crimes linked to the group, from retail theft to murder and prostitution.

And in New York City, police detectives have spent months interviewing informants — including confessed gang members — to identify gang leaders and gather information on robbery patterns and recruitment efforts.

The gang in question is Tren de Aragua, which sprang from a Venezuelan prison and developed into a feared criminal organization focused on sex trafficking, human smuggling and the drug trade.

The U.S. needs a few good allies. Does it still need Canada?

There’s a brief, delicious little vignette at the beginning of military historian Tim Cook’s latest book that neatly captures the essence of Canada’s decades-long national security and defence relationship with the United States.

Speaking in Kingston, Ont. with Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King at his side, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that “the people of the United States would not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by any other Empire.”

Seizing territory, having boots on the ground will never fall out of war’s fashion but how they are fought in the coming age of AI may determine the necessity of allies.

This New York farmer is overwhelmed by illegal crossings from Canada, caught on camera

The outline of a liquor bottle is carved into boards just beneath the tip of the roof on one side of Chris Oliver’s barn, which sits a few feet away from the Canadian border which runs along the northern edge of his farm near Fort Covington, N.Y.

The outline echoes another age along these borderlands when runners moved contraband liquor from Canada south across this stretch of land between Quebec and New York state during prohibition.

Now a different type of traffic is moving through Oliver’s farm: people.

Why Is Jill Running the First Biden Cabinet Meeting in Nearly a Year?

After Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, it wasn’t just his campaign that came to a halt — the illusion that he was running the country evaporated as well. Instead of governing, he spent more time at the beach than in the White House. The façade that Joe Biden is still in charge took another blow on Friday during the first cabinet meeting in nearly a year, where a visibly exhausted Biden made brief remarks before passing control of the meeting to his wife, Jill Biden.

Police Towers and Brick Pallets in Springfield, Ohio

The little town of Springfield, Ohio, is certainly not the town I remember from my youth. It has been transformed into not just a hotspot for the issues of immigration and a governmental autocracy but a national symbol for such things. It has become a lightning rod and a case study for the core issues of the upcoming election, and the Left, as per its usual modus operandi, has carefully avoided the crisis there to fan the flames of anti-conservative animus. It is a safe bet to say that the influence and connections of those who wish to consolidate and increase Progressive power are deep and diverse. Which makes this social media post from a Springfield resident concerning.

Ex-Border Patrol Chief: Biden-Harris Administration Forbid Agents from Discussing Increasing Terror Threats

President Joe Biden’s administration instructed Border Patrol agents not to disclose to the American public the increase in terrorist encounters at the border, former chief patrol agent for Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector, Aaron Heitke, said on Thursday.

Before Biden took office, Border Patrol agents in Heitke’s San Diego sector typically arrested ten to 15 special-interest aliens (SIA), or suspected terrorists, per year. That number spiked to more than 100 encounters per year after Biden took office and continued climbing throughout his term, Heitke testified during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing.

The Assassination Fire Is Burning, Threatening To Spread Across America If Not Stopped

As Congress investigates the first assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, the nation is reeling from a second. The sequel may be a harbinger, as one act of political violence often inspires others. To stop the spread, we need cool waters of peace to douse the flames of rage.

Waving revolvers, four presidential assassins perform “The Gun Song” in “Assassins” by Stephen Sondheim. “All you have to do,” they sing in the ode to triggers, “is move your little finger, and you can change the world.” It’s both a catchy tune and a tempting idea to deranged and radical minds.

Suspicious packages sent to election officials across US

The FBI and the US Postal Department are investigating suspicious packages received by election officials in 17 states.

Federal investigators said they were collecting the packages and that some contained “an unknown substance”, though there were no reports of injuries.

They were sent to secretaries of state and state election officials across a swathe of the country from New York to Alaska.

U.S. Commissions First Co-Ed Submarine in Navy Fleet

The ship’s design includes modifications such as more doors and washrooms to create separate sleeping and bathing areas for the coed crew.

In a historic move toward inclusivity, the U.S. Navy commissioned its first-ever co-ed submarine, the USS New Jersey, during a ceremony at Naval Weapons Station Earle, Middletown Township, New Jersey.

“USS New Jersey (SSN 796) is now commissioned and ready for service!” the Navy announced in a post on X. “The Navy’s latest Virginia-class submarine joins the fleet.”

Media is asking wrong questions about Trump assassination attempt

Donald Trump was yesterday the target of an assassination attempt while playing golf at his West Palm Beach club in Florida. The attempt comes eight weeks after the former president was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.

This sequence of events doesn’t just “raise questions”: it challenges some of the foundational assumptions of American political life. During this latest attempt, a Secret Service agent who advanced ahead of Trump on the course spotted a rifle barrel sticking out from foliage against a chain-link fence. Agents “immediately engaged” — though it’s unclear what that means — and the suspect, thought to be 58-year-old Ryan Routh, fled before eventually being caught by police on a Florida highway. The distance between the would-be assassin and Trump is estimated at around 300 metres.

The media is the problem, they are doing the work of the Deep State which seeks to justify Trump’s murder through the demonization of he and his voters.
