By Ward Clark On Wednesday, we learned of the arrest of one Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, who has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly planning a mass shooting terror attack on Minneapolis's Mall of America. Mohamud was arrested following his purchase of an AK-pattern rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition; he now is facing charges of purchasing a firearm to commit a crime of terrorism in support of a designated foreign terrorist organization. He reportedly planned to specifically target the Hmong Arts Celebration on October 24th.

By Rusty Weiss Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Tuesday that the Pentagon denied him entry to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and refused to arrange an Iran-war briefing during a trip to the Gulf. In a video posted from the region, Murphy said it was the first time in 20 years in Congress that he had been blocked from U.S. military facilities and from meetings with military leaders. "Something unprecedented happened during my trip to the Middle East," the forlorn senator told followers on X. "And that is this. I have been denied total access to U.S. military facilities in the region." "I have never ever been denied access to military facilities," he added. "This is part of a coordinated, deliberate campaign by the Department of Defense to try to hide the consequences and the true costs of this war." @ChrisMurphyCT Your supposed do that at the Capitol, who the fuck do you think you are? https://t.co/VhwKwiDVNT — Trackman (@TheeTrackman) October 7, 202...

By Teri Christoph A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked the Trump administration’s current civil-fine program targeting illegal aliens who remain after final deportation orders. His discussion of the financial consequences will infuriate you. On Monday, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr., a Bill Clinton appointee, blocked the effort by the Trump administration to impose civil penalties of up to $1.8 million on illegals who remain in the country despite having those final deportation orders in hand. The administration was relying on a provision of federal immigration law that allows it to levy civil penalties of up to $998 per day for those who fail to depart the country after receiving a final removal order. And they weren't particularly shy about using that provision, aggressively penalizing those who refused to leave. In July, the Department of Homeland Security revealed that it had issued more than 103,000 penalties totaling around $84 billion since Preside...

By Nick Arama Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Athens to strengthen strategic defense and energy cooperation with Greece.  He's also going to be delivering a speech calling for the renewal of Western civilization and encouraging allies to stand together to reject decline and preserve our shared inheritance. Rubio delivered a similar speech in Munich that was much lauded and showed he had a great grasp of things.  But prior to the speech, Rubio participated in a joint press conference and answered questions from reporters. He announced they'd had a new memorandum of understanding with Greece dealing with the terrorism and illegal alien threat. 🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio just announced a NEW U.S.-Greece security pact to fight mass migration and terror GREAT NEWS! RUBIO: "And the fight against mass migration...Greece is a great ally as well on fighting transnational criminal organizations, on counterterrorism." 🔥 "Due to its geography in the Mediterran...

By Ward Clark On Wednesday, three years to the day in which thousands of Hamas terrorists descended on Israel and committed murder and atrocities in numbers untold, New York City's communist/Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani took to his X account to "commemorate" this date. However, in a move that was utterly predictable to anyone who has followed this far-left shouter who now lives in Gracie Mansion, the commie Mamdani did a lateral arabesque and made it all about Israel . This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 ch...

By Ari Hoffman The US Army has set a Dec. 3 execution date for Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan, who will be put to death by firing squad at the site of the 2009 mass shooting where he murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others. Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle signed an execution order Tuesday directing that Hasan be executed at Fort Hood, Texas, at 1 pm Central Time on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2026. The execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will take place at Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, December 3rd, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT. https://t.co/re7BpqkSN4 — Acting Secretary of the Army (@SecArmy) October 7, 2026 The signed order states that President Donald Trump approved Hasan’s death sentence on Oct. 2. It directs that the execution be carried out by firing squad in accordance with Army regulations and names the commandant of the United States Disciplinary Barracks as the execution officer.

By Matt Margolis I've lived in a blue state my entire life. I grew up in Massachusetts, went to college in Connecticut, and now call New York State home. Trust me, it's tough, especially when Democrats are so dominant that there's virtually nothing you can do about it. Even the worst Democrats get elected and reelected. That's generally the story with Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.). Four years ago, she narrowly beat Republican Lee Zeldin in a race that was much closer than it ought to have been in such a deep blue state. Now she's seeking reelection again , and some polls suggest another abnormally tight race. She's still favored to win, but living here, I can tell you that no one likes her. The yard signs tell the story. It's the final weeks of the midterms, and they're everywhere. Where I live, Republican Bruce Blakeman signs are everywhere. Kathy Hochul signs, not so much. Now, I live in a fairly red part of the state, and that plays a big part. But ...

By David Manney The IRS was handed a simple assignment: help the Trump administration find waste, cut unnecessary contracts, and protect taxpayer money . To do it, the agency built a Procurement Hub for the government-wide “Defend the Spend” initiative. Then, the watchdog arrived and found the IRS had rushed the tool into service while bypassing some of the very contracting and security controls designed to protect taxpayer money. We found that the expedited procurement and deployment of the Procurement Hub bypassed key preventive controls. For example, the third contract for the Procurement Hub, valued at $4.5 million did not include clear milestones or deliverables for the engineering services. The IRS also paid the vendor in full at the beginning of the period of performance.  According to the IRS, this was because the contract was a software licensing contract and those costs are paid upfront. In addition, the IRS did not complete sufficient market research before awarding...

By Bob Hoge Anyone paying even a little attention to the illegal alien tsunami that occurred under the Biden administration knew that the former president, his Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and virtually everyone on Ole Joe’s team didn’t give a damn about the problem and in fact willfully enabled it. No one knows how many illegals came in through the southern border, but many estimate the number is well over 10 million . There are other ways than slipping over the border to reside here illegally, however, and one of them is to overstay your visa. A blistering new DHS Inspector General report reveals that Team Biden did next to nothing about the problem, and their dereliction of duty led to numerous vicious crimes: NEW: A new DHS Inspector General report finds the Biden administration took almost no enforcement action against visa overstays, including public safety threats, and arrested only a handful out of millions. The numbers are stunning. From FY21-FY24: - ...
