Israeli Embassy staffers fatally shot by terrorist who yelled ‘Free, free Palestine’

By Nicholas McEntyre | New York Post The two Israeli Embassy staffers who were gunned down by a pro-Palestinian terrorist outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night have been identified as “friends and colleagues” who fell in love and were just days away from getting engaged. Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim were fatally shot in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee’s ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception just after 9 p.m. in Washington, DC. “Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives,” the Embassy of Israel to the USA wrote on X. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Before it was shuttered, USAID routed funds to Soros-aligned causes, terrorists and drag queens

By Steven Richards | Just The News Before the Trump administration closed USAID’s doors, the agency regularly routed funding to causes aligned with George Soros’ nonprofit empire, terrorists and drag queens.  The agency came under scrutiny from the new administration over failures to ensure transparency in its funding to organizations across the globe and concerns that the leadership was not responding to explicit policy directives from the State Department and the wider executive branch to align its programs with Trump policies and the U.S. national interest.  In recent days, the Trump administration identified USAID programs ranging from contraceptives for Afghanistan to LGBT diversity programs for European countries as clear evidence that foreign aid needed to be paused an...

Trump admin to deport foreigners who come to American universities and shill for terrorists

USAID funneled $122 million to charities tied to designated terrorists, congressional testimony reveals

By  David Zimmermann | National Review The now-shuttered U.S. Agency for International Development has funneled at least $122 million in approved grants to terror-tied aid charities, including an evangelical Christian group that in 2014 facilitated a $125,000 sub-grant to a Sudanese terrorist organization linked to al-Qaeda's Osama bin Laden. USAID has long been complicit in funding humanitarian aid groups associated with designated terrorists, such as Hamas and Hezbollah. This is just one egregious example of the waste, fraud, and abuse within USAID that the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency are working to uncover.

Barkoukis: NYT blasted for ‘insane’ take on terrorist designation of cartels

By Leah Barkoukis | Commentary, Townhall.com Social media users did a double take this week on a New York Times headline reacting to President Trump’s recent executive order designating certain cartels as global terrorists and foreign terrorist organizations. “The Cartels have engaged in a campaign of violence and terror throughout the Western Hemisphere that has not only destabilized countries with significant importance for our national interests but also flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs,” the EO notes.  “The Cartels functionally control, through a campaign of assassination, terror, rape, and brute force nearly all illegal traffic across the southern border of the United States,” the order continues. “In certain portions of M...

Trump directs feds to target cartels that threaten homeland security

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square President Donald Trump is directing federal agencies to target Mexican cartels and other foreign groups that are a threat to American citizens and national security. Trump’s executive order designates Mexican cartels, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, Salvadoran La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and other organizations as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs) under the U.S. Constitution, Immigration and Nationality Act and International Emergency Economic Powers Act. “International cartels constitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organized crime, with activities encompassing convergence between themselves and a range of extra-hemispheric actors, f...

How the Biden FBI let an ISIS acolyte slip right past them

By Eireann Van Natta | Daily Caller A political agenda combined with a lack of information on the New Orleans terrorist likely culminated in Shamsud-Din Jabbar escaping the FBI’s radar, former agents told the Caller. The terrorist who allegedly plowed a truck into a crowd on New Years pledged allegiance to ISIS, reportedly possessed an ISIS flag, and even traveled to Egypt — yet no action was taken by the FBI for months. Jabbar was identified by authorities as the driver of the Ford pickup truck that rammed through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans last Wednesday morning, killing 15 people. He was subsequently killed by police in a shootout. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

‘The melting pot’ is more of a boiling cauldron

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: The rhetoric surrounding immigrant-linked violence exploits visceral fears, transforming isolated incidents into existential threats to national identity and safety. Media sensationalism and political opportunism amplify divisive narratives, reducing immigration debates to polarized, exclusionary binaries devoid of systemic nuance. Emotional weaponization of personal tragedies cements the public's perception of immigrants as inherent societal threats, driving policy discussions toward punitive extremes. The American discourse on immigration has reached a boiling point, with violent incidents tied to immigrants becoming a rallying cry for sweeping policy changes and cultural introspection. Narratives centering on high-profile crimes, such as a...

New Orleans terrorist, man in Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion shared more links in attacks just hours apart

By Michael Ruiz  | Fox News The Texas man who plowed a rented pickup truck into New Year's revelers on New Orleans' Bourbon Street Wednesday, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, and the man eyed in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas hours later, Matthew Livelsberger, were both Army soldiers who served at Fort Liberty and deployed to Aghanistan in 2009, according to authorities. A defense official, however, told Fox News that there was no evidence based on their military service that the attacks were related. While both men served at Fort Liberty, formerly known as Fort Bragg, they were there at different times. The North Carolina base is currently home to more than 50,000 service members.  Authorities continued to release new informati...

Mosque tied to Shamsud-Din Jabbar directs queries to Islamic non-profit linked to terror

By Ari Hoffman | The Post Millennial A Houston mosque, that has been tied to the Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who killed 15 people and injured dozens more in a New Orleans terror attack, has reportedly told its members to refer any questions from law enforcement or media to a non-profit group that has been linked to terrorism. Investigative journalist Bree Dail obtained an announcement from “Masjid Bilal management” informing saying that the “tragic events that took place in New Orleans this morning" were being "classified as an act of terror" by the FBI. "If anyone is contacted by the media it is very important that you do not respond," the announcement read. "If approached by the FBI and a response is necessary please refer to CAIR and ISGH."
