Trump Administration Mulls Using Naval Base for ICE Sweeps

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is preparing to use Naval Station Great Lakes, located about 35 miles north of downtown Chicago, as a logistical hub for upcoming immigration enforcement sweeps across Illinois, sparking sharp criticism from Democratic leaders.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asked the Navy facility to provide “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs” to assist with operations. While the plans remain in their early stages, administration officials have signaled Chicago could see a surge in enforcement activity in the coming weeks.

Trump border czar Tom Homan told reporters the administration intends to dedicate a “large contingent” of forces to Chicago, though he declined to give specifics.

“Operations are ramping up across the country, but you could see a ramp up of operations in Chicago, absolutely,” Homan said. “You’re going to see a ramp up of operations in New York; you’re going to see a ramp up of operations continue in L.A., Portland, Seattle — all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been one of the most vocal opponents, accusing the White House of targeting the city for political reasons. In a recent television appearance, Johnson urged Chicagoans to resist, going so far as to suggest residents should “rise up” against federal law enforcement officers.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also condemned the plan, pledging the state would push back against what he described as an overreach of federal authority.

“The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have,” Pritzker said.

Other Democrats have echoed those concerns. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who served at Naval Station Great Lakes during his time in the U.S. Navy Reserve, criticized the potential use of the facility.

“When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that someday a U.S. president would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil,” Buttigieg wrote on X. “Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.”

The planned operation in Chicago is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to intensify immigration enforcement in sanctuary jurisdictions. Cities including New York, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle have already seen heightened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in recent months.

Administration officials have not disclosed when operations centered at Naval Station Great Lakes would formally begin, but DHS sources indicated preparations are underway.

Phrases including “Trump Is Dead” and “Please Let It Be True” trended on social media and many celebrated the fake news:

One social media user wrote in a post, “if trump is dead i will give 50 dollars to anyone who likes this tweet,” along with a photo of the president:

Someone else shared a gif of what appeared to be a cult ritual with the words “TRUMP IS DEAD OR ON THE VERGE OF DEATH” repeated over and over:

However, Trump was photographed Saturday leaving the White House on his way to Virginia to play golf, Newsweek reported. (Read more from “‘Trump Is Dead’ Trends Online as Leftists Fantasize About President’s Demise” HERE)

Rosie O’Donnell Straight Up Lies About Catholic School Shooter (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell falsely stated on Thursday that Robin Westman, the trans-identifying shooter who killed two children at a Catholic school in Minnesota, supported President Donald Trump.

O’Donnell baselessly stated on her TikTok account that Westman was a “Republican” and a “MAGA person,” despite him calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic message written on one of his firearms. The shooter changed his name from Roger to Robin in 2019 because he identified “as a female” and wanted his name to “reflect that identification,” according to court records.

“What do you know? [The shooter] was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacist,” O’Donnell said.

Westman confessed in a manifesto that he was “tired of being trans” and wished he had “never brainwashed” himself, according to a translation by the New York Post. He further stated that he knew he was not a girl but “definitely [didn’t] feel like a man.”

The shooter disturbingly praised the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 and wrote about his fantasies to be a “scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids” ahead of the tragic shooting in Minneapolis. Hours before the shooting, Westman posted videos to YouTube where he zoomed in on ammunition, multiple guns and cartridges, which included one message calling for Trump’s murder.

Gavin Newsom Joins Democrats in Mocking Child Victims of Catholic School Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) joined other Democrats in mocking the idea of prayer in the wake of the mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis this week, noting that the children were praying at the time.

In a post on X, responding to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s claim that “prayer works,”, Newsom said: “There children were literally praying as they got shot at,” implying that prayer does not work.

Democrats have long attacked the idea of offering “thoughts and prayers” for the victims and their families in the wake of mass shootings, arguing that political action is needed, particularly gun control legislation.

They have treated “thoughts and prayers” — a common expression of condolences — as a way of avoiding the legislative or constitutional measures that, they argue, would prevent mass shootings.

(In the Minneapolis case, for example, one commentator called for “red flag” laws that allow guns to be taken away from mentally ill people — except that Minnesota already has such laws in place, among other gun control measures.)

Canadian Man Accused of Illegally Voting in North Carolina Elections for Over 20 Years

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal prosecutors have charged a 69-year-old Canadian national with illegally voting in North Carolina elections, alleging that his participation in U.S. elections may stretch back more than two decades.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Denis Bouchard, a Canadian citizen who has lived in the U.S. since the 1960s but never obtained American citizenship, is accused of falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen on voter registration applications. Officials say he cast ballots in the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election.

Prosecutors believe Bouchard’s involvement goes beyond those two contests, with suspicions that he has voted in local county elections in New Hanover and Pender counties since the early 2000s.

“Every single time a noncitizen casts an illegal vote in North Carolina, it steals and nullifies the vote of an actual citizen,” U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle said in a statement. “If the records are correct, this Canadian citizen appears to have voted in New Hanover and Pender County elections over the past 20 years. We intend to prove his illegal conduct in court and put an end to it.”

The North Carolina Board of Elections is working with federal prosecutors as part of the ongoing investigation.

While cases of noncitizen voting are rare, they remain a flashpoint in debates over election integrity. Last year, Michigan officials charged a Chinese student with casting a ballot in the 2024 election. That case came to light only after the student reportedly contacted his local clerk’s office asking if he could retrieve his ballot; he left the country just before Donald Trump returned to office in January.

In May, the Trump administration expanded the program by integrating SAVE with the Social Security Administration’s records. State and local election officials can now use Social Security numbers to cross-check citizenship status, a move federal authorities say will help ensure only eligible U.S. citizens are able to vote.

Trump Cancels Kamala Harris’s Extended Secret Service Protection Ahead of Book Tour

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris’s Secret Service protection, ending on September 1 a security arrangement previously extended by former President Joe Biden. The directive leaves Harris without federal protection as she prepares to embark on a high-profile book tour.

Under federal law, former vice presidents receive six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office. Harris’s standard protection expired in July 2025, but it had been extended by an additional year in an undisclosed executive directive signed by Biden before leaving the White House. Trump’s move nullifies that extension.

Officials confirmed Trump’s decision via internal communications to the Department of Homeland Security. According to the directive, “you are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris.”

The timing of the announcement coincides with the release of Harris’s forthcoming memoir, 107 Days, and the launch of her national book tour. Scheduled to begin September 24, the tour includes domestic and international stops.

The Media Dismissing The Transgender Factor In This School Shooting Are Enabling Another One

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s truly as if the news media wish for more transgender psychotics to commit mass murders before offing themselves. Why else would they look at what happened in Minneapolis this week and continue insisting there’s no correlation at all between a potentially violent mental break and the irrational belief that a man can become a woman?

After a gunman identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman — originally Robert before his mother apparently allowed him to legally change his name at 17 — shot up a Catholic school’s church in Minneapolis on Wednesday, the media got to work, both treating the suspected killer as if his gender dysphoria was entirely incidental and belittling anyone who suggested otherwise.

The New York Times captured that dynamic best under the headline, “Minneapolis Suspect Knew Her Target, but Motive Is a Mystery.” The “her” was a deliberate word choice for a person we’re still learning about a day later. And what we did learn was that, according to the New York Post, Westman deeply regretted his attempts to become female, writing in a journal, “I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.”

But the Times wants the public to believe there’s nothing significant about being a shooter who tried swapping his gender, so — it’s ma’am!

Throughout the article, the Times refers to Westman as “she” and “her” and then, nine paragraphs in, attacks the people who dared notice that this isn’t the first, second, or third time in recent years where a “transgender” person has committed mass violence. “On social media,” the article said, “some conservative activists have seized on the shooter’s gender identity to broadly portray transgender people as violent or mentally ill.” (Read more from “The Media Dismissing The Transgender Factor In This School Shooting Are Enabling Another One” HERE)

Palantir CEO Peter Thiel to Lead Off-the-Record 4-Part Series on the Antichrist

/26 Comments/in , /by

Tech billionaire and Palantir CEO Peter Thiel, best known for co-founding PayPal and overseeing one of the world’s most powerful surveillance companies, is preparing to deliver a four-part lecture series on the biblical figure of the Antichrist. The events, hosted by the Commonwealth Club and organized by the Acts 17 Collective, will run on Sept. 15, Sept. 22, Sept. 29, and Oct. 6.

Promotional materials frame the series as a sweeping study of theology, literature, and the “politics of the Antichrist,” with Thiel citing thinkers like René Girard and Jonathan Swift. The lectures won’t be recorded, and entry is only available as a full-series pass, adding to the secrecy surrounding the project.

But the question hanging over the events is less about theology and more about Thiel himself. Why is one of Silicon Valley’s most powerful, secretive, and politically connected figures suddenly posturing as a religious authority — and why now?

Critics say the choice of Thiel as a Christian lecturer on the Antichrist is bizarre, given his contradictions and controversial history. Thiel, after all, is not a conventional Christian voice. He is openly gay, married to investor Matt Danzeisen, and has poured millions into U.S. politics. His company, Palantir, builds surveillance software used by intelligence agencies and police worldwide. Donald Trump has enlisted him to help craft a federal data-sharing order that watchdogs fear could evolve into a government super-database.

And now, Thiel is positioning himself as a Christian guide to spotting the signs of evil. Thiel himself has speculated that the Antichrist will seize control by promising “peace and safety.”

The timing makes the move even stranger. In 2023, Miami police investigated the death of Thiel’s former romantic partner, model and influencer Jeff Thomas, who fell from a luxury high-rise in what was swiftly ruled a suicide. Thomas, who once described himself as being “kept” by Thiel in exchange for cars and a $13 million Hollywood Hills mansion, had given a candid interview before his death, calling the relationship stressful and “like living in a dollhouse.”

“He wanted me to get the nicest car, the nicest house,” Thomas said, suggesting the arrangement left him feeling owned. “It was compensation for giving up my freedom.”

Police sources confirmed that Thiel was expected to be interviewed as part of the probe, but the investigation closed quickly. To this day, questions linger over how such a powerful figure’s private life intersects with his public influence.

So as Thiel prepares to lecture on the Antichrist, critics say the irony is hard to ignore: a billionaire gay conservative with deep ties to government surveillance, linked to a mysterious death, now stepping into the pulpit to define good and evil for the public.

Kirk Cameron Warns Taylor Swift ‘Mocks God,’ ‘Celebrates Explicit Sin’ in Her Music

/7 Comments/in , /by

Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift’s cultural influence, warning that the pop star “mocks God, normalizes sin” and “glorifies lust and rebellion” in her wildly popular music.

In a recent Instagram post, the 54-year-old father of six, known for his roles in “Growing Pains” and recent faith-based projects, said Swift’s latest work amounts to “discipleship” for young people.

“What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? You get the most powerful sermon that America’s youth will hear this year,” Cameron said. “She mocks God in her lyrics. She normalizes sin, she glorifies lust and rebellion as if this was womanly empowerment. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship.”

Cameron added that Swift’s influence over fans, many of whom are teenagers, can unfortunately serve as a substitute for parental guidance.

“She doesn’t have any kids of her own, but raising kids is hard. Why get into all that when she can just disciple your kids and train them up in the way that she would like for them to go?” he said.

FBI: School Shooter Targeted Religion in Hate-Fueled Attack

/4 Comments/in , /by

The suspect in the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School expressed hatred of Christianity in writings and videos released before the attack, federal officials said Wednesday.

According to investigators, 23-year-old Robin Westman posted a lengthy manifesto on YouTube that included images and writings mocking Christian faith. One image showed a picture of Jesus Christ pinned to a body target, while one of his firearm magazines bore the words “Where is Your God?” written in marker.

In a recovered notebook, authorities found a drawing of what appeared to be Westman speaking to a “demon” in a mirror. The figure in the sketch advised him to take his own life, according to investigators.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the case is being investigated as both an act of domestic terrorism and an anti-Catholic hate crime.

“The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There were two fatalities, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old. In addition, 14 children and three adults were injured,” Patel said. “The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.”

Westman opened fire during a school Mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others before dying by suicide at the scene, authorities said.

Investigators are reviewing hundreds of pages of material and online postings recovered from Westman’s devices and residence to determine the full scope of his motives and influences.
