What triggered the American Civil War were state officials who refused to honor federal law and instead boasted of their open defiance of Washington. That precedent appears to be the incendiary model for the increasingly erratic behavior of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). Has Newsom accepted the polls and decided to end his political career…

Numerous Democratic politicians have in recent days returned to their summer 2020 strategy of characterizing violent leftist riots as peaceful protest and President Donald Trump’s desire to restore order as both escalatory and authoritarian. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, among the standouts in his party who previously refused to join progressives in attacking Israel in the…

On June 3, University of South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley appeared on the “Higher Learning with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay” podcast, where she said that the Gamecocks’ semifinal loss to Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball tournament made her temporarily question God. While she didn’t…

America is on fire — again. But this time, it’s not just cities burning — it’s our identity. In Los Angeles, mobs of masked agitators — many waving the Mexican flag, others clutching Palestinian flags, and some burning the American flag — have taken to the streets, firing guns into the air, hurling rocks at…

While California Army National Guard troops handle lawless protests sparked by legal immigration enforcement, the California Air National Guard faces a far more dangerous vulnerability — one that demands immediate attention from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. It’s time to remember January 12, 1981. That day, Puerto Rican independence militants breached Muñoz Marin International Airport in…

Germany’s first chancellor Otto von Bismarck famously said, “Laws are like sausages. It is best not to see them being made.” That description fits President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act — with one major exception. Unlike most legislation, the OBBB deserves a close look. But the media would rather focus on headline fodder like…

Ghost stories are all fun and games until they’re not. Years ago, when Calvin “Speedy” Wilburn, Rick Burgess’ longtime co-host and producer, traveled around the country visiting haunted sites for a popular October series on the now-retired “Rick and Bubba Show,” he had no idea he’d encounter actual demons. Dubbed “13 Days of Horror,” the…

Fifteen years ago, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) slipped an amendment into law that handed a $90 billion windfall to mega-retailers like Walmart and Target — while forcing everyday Americans to foot the bill. Now he’s trying to do it again. This time, he’s recruited Republican help. President Trump has made his priorities clear. He wants…

Former President Joe Biden has finally addressed the autopen controversy, but it hasn’t quite set the American people at ease. “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden said in a statement to ABC News. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I…

As Democrats continue to stand on the sidelines while one of their most beloved cities burns at the hands of anti-ICE activists, President Trump has been taking action. Instead of supporting the president’s decisive actions, those same Democrats questioned his motives and even blamed him for the situation. Video evidence began to emerge showing just…

Video from the fourth day of the anti-ICE rioting captured protesters verbally abusing and making obscene gestures at law enforcement officers. Blaze Media reporter Julio Rosas documented the protesters’ ire as they marched in front of Los Angeles City Hall and the federal building downtown. One protester holds up a sign reading, ‘ICE of out…

Last weekend, Los Angeles went up in flames as violent anti-ICE protests erupted across the city, prompting President Trump to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops. Like deja vu, the mainstream media is orchestrating a Summer of Rage 2.0 cover-up campaign, claiming the protests are “mostly peaceful,” even as cars are set ablaze and concrete slabs…

The Trump administration is sending about 700 U.S. Marines to bring Los Angeles back to order after four days of rioting by anti-deportation protesters. President Donald Trump had already ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into the fray, but Defense Dept. Sec. Pete Hegseth had warned that they would send Marines if local officials didn’t restore…

While California officials are dealing with the ongoing rioting in Los Angeles, a suburban city announced that it will no longer house federal immigration detainees.

A Florida teacher is accused of sending an explicit photo to a middle school student as well as engaging in lewd conduct with the boy, according to police.

Among the many unsettling scenes from the anti-ICE riots Sunday in Los Angeles was a nighttime clip showing a minivan driver doing “street takeover” donuts at an intersection — and protesters pelting the vehicle.

The Trump administration’s enforcement of the law in Los Angeles not only enraged California Democrats but their fellow travelers further abroad as well — some of whom are now hitting the streets in cities across the country. The White House has made clear that its zero-tolerance policy for violent radicalism in Los Angeles applies nationally….

Vice President JD Vance responded to the disagreement between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump as it broke out during his interview with comedian Theo Von last week.

Universities are capitalizing on Gen Z’s apparent lack of knowledge of budgeting, personal health, and general happiness, offering classes to fill in the gaps. Generation Z, typically referred to as those who were born between 1997 and 2012, apparently need help with “adulting.” According to the University of California, Riverside, “adulting” encompasses learning how to…

An opinion column in USA today has led to every reaction between bewilderment and abject ridicule for its inane attempt to reframe the debate about trans-identifying athletes. The opinion column by Nancy Armour praised Olympic champion Simone Biles for her hysterical attacks on former swimming star Riley Gaines, who was defending female athletes from unfair…

Simone Biles likely thought everyone would agree with her opinion that transgender athletes should compete in women’s sports, a national gymnastics champion says. Jennifer Sey, a seven-time U.S. women’s national artistic gymnastics athlete, called out gold medal winner Simone Biles after the Olympian described activist and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines as “truly sick” for…

Violent riots broke out in Los Angeles over the weekend as Immigration and Customs Enforcement began cracking down on deportations, with footage of masked protestors waving foreign flags, burning vehicles, and throwing rocks at law enforcement.

As violent anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots continue in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security released details about the illegal immigrants rounded up in the city over the past week.

The violent riots in Los Angeles that broke out in response to immigration enforcement this past weekend have resulted in an apparent game of chicken between border czar Tom Homan, who has threatened to arrest elected officials who interfere with federal immigration operations, and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has dared Homan to follow through…

Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters of California angrily denounced the Trump administration after she was denied entry into a detention center while the Los Angeles ICE riots raged on. Waters tried to cite her congressional authority of oversight when she approached the door of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A., but a law enforcement officer…

The left has claimed that it’s impossible to be racist against any majority group for years, and unfortunately, as DEI has gone mainstream, those in power have seemed to agree. That is, they’ve agreed until now. Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of a straight woman who had twice lost positions to…

FBI Director Kash Patel revealed to the eponymous host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” in the episode published Friday that the bureau “just had a great breakthrough” regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a matter into which the FBI apparently has multiple ongoing investigations.
