By Dan Burmawi There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent.  For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern.  The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her. The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.  Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future. This is how ideological takeover works. A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs. It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to. Then it moves inward. It alters how foundations ar...

  By Amanda Prestigiacomo A major nurses union is holding secretive training sessions for union members to learn how to “fight” federal immigration enforcement in their hospitals. An email reviewed by The Daily Wire reveals that the Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) is promoting training sessions for nurses to resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in hospitals. ONA, which represents around 15,000 nurses, is the largest nurses union in Oregon. As an affiliate of National Nurses United—the largest nurses union in the United States—ONA also wields influence at the national level. Notably, the email says that the sessions will not be recorded or posted publicly, adding a secretive element to the training sessions. The email addresses “ONA members” with the subject line, “Trainings: Accountability for ICE” and reads as follows: “As frontline healthcare workers, we are entrusted with a fundamental responsibility: to preserve...

By Matt Margolis The legacy media must be devastated.  Melania  just had a huge box-office opening for a documentary, despite all the efforts to destroy the film before its release. Deadline reports that  Melania  will finish the weekend in third place, with an $8 million opening. Coming in at third is Amazon MGM Studios’ Brett Ratner-directed documentary Melania, which is eyeing $2.85M today (no previews) for an $8M opening in third place — that result would mark the best start for a docu in the last decade (beating Angel Studios’ 2023 doc After Death, which opened to $5M and finaled at $11.5M stateside). I’m hearing sales are gaining, with Florida and Texas quite large, for the First Lady’s big-screen debut. According to  Deadline , "EntTelligence showed Melania presales overindexing in rural areas with populations under 500,000." The outlet noted that while "license fees plus marketing on this pic equals $75M.” "Are MAGA groups driving sales? Maybe, but t...

John Doyle argues that QAnon is in history’s ash heap, but the same fanatical, evidence-light paranoia has found a new home in the right’s obsession with Palantir and Peter Thiel conspiracy theories. By BLAZETV STAFF QAnon — the right-wing conspiracy theory claiming that Donald Trump was secretly battling an evil elitist cabal that puppeteers the world — may be in history’s ash heap, but the kind of fanatical, evidence-light thinking that birthed it is still alive and well, says  BlazeTV  host John Doyle. Now that cryptic Q messages are a relic of the past, those who hunger for hype and theatrics are sinking their teeth into another paranoia-driven fantasy, this time revolving around Peter Thiel and Palantir — a powerful data analytics and surveillance software company that helps governments and large corporations analyze massive datasets to detect patterns, predict threats, and make decisions. “According to the people who tend to like this idea … Palantir is essen...

By Bob Hoge California Gov. Gavin Newsom, like most other Democrat governors, has been doing all he can to impede U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prevent them from upholding immigration laws that were enacted by Congress. Although it was his predecessor, Jerry “ Moonbeam ” Brown, who declared California a sanctuary state in 2017, Newsom has done nothing to overturn that and has, in fact, railed endlessly against President Donald Trump and ICE for daring to attempt to solve the illegal alien crisis. In the meantime, he has busted the budget by doling out  billions in handouts and medical care  to those who are in his state illegally. But one of Gov. Hair Gel’s directives is too much for even the chief of the Los Angeles Police. In September, Newsom signed the  No Secret Police Act  (SB 627), which prohibits federal, state, and local law enforcement (including his hated ICE and DHS) from wearing ski masks, neck gaiters, or any face‑covering that hides i...

By Libs of TikTok As ICE deportation operations ramp up across the country, calls for violence against federal agents and conservatives have skyrocketed. Recently, there has been an upsurge of radical left-wing nurses promoting violent action or targeted discrimination against those they disagree with. And we were there to EXPOSE them. The first nurse we exposed was Lexie Lawler, a labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Florida. Lexie posted a video of herself saying how she hopes Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suffers a severe 4th-degree tear during childbirth and has medical complications.   Shortly after our story went viral, Lexie was FIRED from her nursing position and then had her license REVOKED by the state.   This, however, was just the beginning… Erik Martindale, ANOTHER registered Florida nurse, made a post online saying he won’t give anesthesia to Republicans undergoing surgery, believing his...

By BREITBART LONDON COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Hundreds of Danish veterans, many of whom fought alongside U.S. troops, staged a silent protest Saturday outside the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen in response to the Trump administration’s threats to take over Greenland and belittling their combat contributions. “Denmark has always stood side by side with the USA – and we have showed up in the world’s crisis zones when the USA has asked us to. We feel let down and ridiculed by the Trump Administration, which is deliberately disregarding Denmark´s combat side by side with the USA,” Danish Veterans & Veteran Support said in a statement. “Words cannot describe how much it hurts us that Denmark´s contributions and sacrifices in the fight for democracy, peace and freedom are being forgotten in the White House,” it said. Veterans first gathered at a monument honoring fallen Danish service members then began marching to the nearby U.S. Embassy, where they will observe five minu...

By Warner Todd Huston Federal investigators have descended on Lewiston, Maine, in pursuit of more cases of Somali financial fraud and even allegations of gun theft charges and illegally hiring illegal migrants. Some of the locations being probed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are linked to Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullahi Ali, Democrat State Rep. Deqa Dhalac, and Dem. Rep. Yusuf Yusuf. Another location includes a property owned by Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services (MEIRS) founder Rilwan Osman, according to Maine Wire. So far, officials have not suggested there is a link between the alleged migrant business fraud and local Democratic Party members. “HSI is actively conducting audits of businesses in Maine to protect America from fraud & ensure businesses only employ legal workers. Hiring unauthorized workers risks severe penalties & undermines national security,” the HSI New England department reported o...

By MARIANE ANGELA Former CNN host Don Lemon will walk free Friday after a judge ordered his release without bond following his arrest. Federal agents  arrested  Lemon Thursday night in Los Angeles. Authorities said Lemon stormed an evangelical church in St. Paul, Minn. U.S. District Judge Patricia Donahue imposed no domestic travel restrictions, allowing Lemon to move freely within the United States, according to Daily Caller News Foundation West Coast Reporter Hailey Gomez, who was in the courtroom when the decision was announced. Federal prosecutors sought to impose domestic and international travel restrictions on Lemon, including barring travel to New York and requiring him to surrender his passport, according to Gomez.  The Department of Justice argued the restrictions were necessary, but Lemon’s attorney pushed back, citing a previously scheduled international trip as grounds to oppose the surrender of Lemon’s passport. Gom...

WELCOME to The Corral! This is an open chat forum like REVEILLE, but for Sat and Sun.  Have a wonderful weekend, and please be civil! TEX

By Carlos Garcia The Democrat does not appear to understand his own historical analogy. As agitators continue to interrupt federal immigration operations in Minnesota, the state's governor is tossing gasoline on the conflagration by implying a civil war is erupting. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz asked if the violence in Minnesota was akin to that at Fort Sumter, which famously precipitated the Civil War of the 1860s. "I mean, is this a Fort Sumter?" Walz asked rhetorically in an  interview  with the Atlantic. "It’s a physical assault," he added. "It’s an armed force that’s assaulting, that’s killing my constituents, my citizens." The failed vice presidential candidate was referring to the lethal shooting of Renee Good, who had driven her car into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, and a second lethal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti, who interfered with an operation while armed with a gun. While many have been calling for a calming of heated rhe...
