ICE Agent Traps US Citizen In Parking Lot Then Threatens Her If She Doesn't Move

If there is one thing Donald J. Trump has been truly successful at throughout his time in office, it's emboldening the worst of the worst that this nation has to offer. He has stood behind podiums, sat within the reverence of the Oval Office, planted his feet on the grounds of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and spoken a steady stream of vitriol directly into the souls of the subset of Americans who have long awaited a leader who would look them in the eye and tell them it's okay. The people who once remained hidden in dark, online chatrooms, spewing venom through their fingertips into a keyboard that effectively hid who they were from the masses, so accountability was little more than a forethought. The "Good Ole Boys" gathered around a bonfire in a nowhere town, gripping their Budweiser with callused hands as they screamed at their neighbor about immigrants and gays, with nowhere to put their anger but into the ether of their own backyard. The people who stood strong in their hateful convictions, but were far too ashamed to stand behind them with their chest out in front of a crowd.

The Antifa Terrorism Threat Trump Keeps Railing Against Doesn't Exist

Jason M. Blazakis, Middlebury College The State Department on July 16, 2026, hosted what officials billed as a ministerial on the resurgence of left-wing political terrorism.

Bill O'Reilly Tells Trump To Take A Month Off Because He's Old And 'Hunching Over'

On the final segment of Bill O'Reilly's recent podcast, the former Fox News host and longtime friend of Trump told Donald to take a month off to recover from whatever is ailing him since he looks like he's struggling. When a Trump supporter admits Demented Donald's health is deteriorating, that's news since most of the beltway media ignores his physical and mental issues as much as possible.

Tom Cotton Accidentally Admits Why Trump, Hegseth, And Rubio Shouldn't Leave The Country

Appearing on Fox News, Arkansas GOP Sen. Tom Cotton let the mask slip a bit, admitting the fight was never really about protecting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tom Cotton doesn't want you to think this is about Netanyahu. In fact, he'll tell you himself: it isn't. Responding to Zohran Mamdani's threat to enforce the ICC's arrest warrant if Netanyahu shows up in New York for the UN General Assembly, Cotton let the actual stakes slip -- it's not about protecting Israel's prime minister, it's about making sure that same warrant authority never gets pointed at Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, or Marco Rubio somewhere down the line. Call it pre-emptive war criminal insurance.

Trump Claims Fallen Troops Spoke From The Grave 'Very Strongly'

Donald J. Trump told reporters and the world a story of speaking with the families of fallen troops, claiming -- implausibly -- that every single one of them made a point of telling him the U.S. can't allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. Of course, this obvious lie can't be fact-checked since dead men tell no tales, except apparently to Trump, about Iran. From beyond the grave, perhaps? Trump's version of events has grieving military families uniformly parroting his Iran talking points back to him, which is exactly as convenient as it sounds for the war the President chose to launch.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Grills Hegseth On Administration's Lies About Iran

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand took our lying "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth through the wood chipper this Tuesday during a hearing on emergency funding to replenish the $80 billion this administration has blown through during this illegal war with Iran. It's been a while since I've seen someone with this much flop-sweat pouring off of them during a hearing. Old Kegsbreath looked in desperate need of a towel as Gillibrand tore him to shreds on their evolving bullshit as to how things are going so far with this war.

Paxton Refuses To Answer Question About His Apparent Voter Fraud

Texas' Republican attorney general and U.S. Senate candidate, Ken Paxton, held a press conference Tuesday where sheriffs surrounded him without uniforms but in sheriff hats. If the weasely-faced Paxton thought that made him look more manly, and Democratic opponent James Talarico less so, it could not have helped that Paxton refused to provide answers about his two latest scandals. The first question Paxton couldn't handle was about "reports that have come out, one in The New York Times about your acquiring properties -"

Pete Hegseth Eviscerated By MTG Over Response To Service Members' Deaths

Pete Hegseth issued a incomprehensible and unsympathetic statement after two US service members "were killed in Jordan while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks." One of the two service members that was killed is Private Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas.

Trump Proudly Boasts About The Number Of Americans Killed In His War

In yet another game of "How Many Batshit Posts Can I Make Before Someone Takes My Phone Away," sitting US President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social echo chamber with a barrage of late-night posts that should have been written in his diary instead, including a vague infographic that he used to openly boast about the number of Americans who have died in his ongoing illegal war with Iran. Tucked in among the words of support for crackhead-turned-pillow-guy Mike Lindell, the nuclear meltdowns about his SAVE America Act, which boils down to nothing more than a "legal" attempt at election tampering, and a slew of AI garbage, Trump tucked in a post with a caption reading, "These are real facts. REPORT THEM!"

Jack Reed Rips Pete Hegseth For Using Biden As An Excuse: 'Gross Negligence'

Pete Hegseth got blistered in the Senate Appropriations Committee today by Sen. Jack Reed and others, who refused to hear his editorializing on Trump's greatness, instead exposing his gross negligence over the war and the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration is demanding another $87.6 billion to restock Pentagon resources following their bombing raids on Iran.

'Censure Her!': Jasmine Crockett Speaks Truth; Wingers Lose Their Minds

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) called a House Smithsonian hearing "the Republicans' White Pride rally," and conservatives immediately demanded she be censured. Crockett spoke Tuesday before the House Oversight Committee's Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee -- the first time a top Smithsonian leader had faced public congressional scrutiny since President Donald Trump targeted the institution, according to ABC News.
