The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala has issued a security alert warning Americans to use “increased caution” when in the Central American country.

“The U.S. Embassy has lifted the shelter-in-place order for their staff,” says the alert, which was issued Sunday. “The situation remains tense with coordinated, armed attacks on police in several zones of Guatemala City.”

The Embassy recommends that Americans monitor local media for updates, avoid crowds and demonstrations, and aim to keep a “low profile.”

Travelers are advised to review personal security plans and minimize unnecessary movements.

The alert comes as gangs have attacked Guatemalan police after seizing control of three prisons in coordinated riots, The Associated Press (AP) reported. (Read more from “Gang Terror Grips Vacation Spot as U.S. Embassy Warns Americans to Keep ‘Low Profile’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he shared private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on social media because they “made my point.”

“It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,” Trump said in an interview with The New York Post.

The president posted screenshots of text messages from Macron and Rutte on his Truth Social platform that praised him for his work in Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.

Macron offered to set up a G7 meeting in Paris after the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and have dinner with Trump before he heads back to the White House.

A White House official told Fox News that Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time. (Read more from “Trump Shares Private Texts From Macron and NATO Chief, Saying They ‘Made My Point’” HERE)

Trump Rips ‘Crooked’ Ilhan Omar as House Ramps Up Investigation Into Exploding Net Worth

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., a member of the far-left “Squad” in the House, over her multi-million dollar net worth during a news conference from the White House Tuesday afternoon.

Trump called the Somali-born lawmaker from Minnesota “crooked” on Tuesday amid a probe by Congressional Republicans on the House Oversight Committee looking into how Omar’s wealth exploded after becoming a lawmaker. In just one year, Omar’s net worth reportedly jumped $30 million, according to financial disclosures first reported last week.

“I was told that Ilhan Omar is worth $30 million,” Trump then quipped. “She never had a job. She’s a crooked congressman. So here you – it’s another one.

“Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion, at a minimum, is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree, but, by Somalians – they’ve taken it. Somalians. Can you imagine? And they don’t do it, a lot of very low IQ people, they don’t do it. Other people work it out, and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes-Benz’s.

“They have no money. They never had money. They never had a life. They never had a government. They never had a country because there’s basically no country. Somalia is not even a country. They don’t have anything that resembles a country. And if it is a country, it’s considered just about the worst in the world. They come here, and they become rich and they don’t have a job,” Trump complained from the podium in the White House briefing room before turning his focus to Omar.

Justice Dept. to Interrogate Tim Walz, Four Other Top Minnesota Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice has subpoenaed five top Democrats in Minnesota to question them on the legality of their opposition to the federal enforcement of immigration law.

The New York Times reported:

Federal prosecutors issued subpoenas on Tuesday to at least five Democratic officials in Minnesota, ramping up the Justice Department’s investigation into their response to the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in the state, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The subpoenas sought documents from Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul related to their policies on immigration enforcement efforts in the state. Two Minnesota prosecutors, Keith Ellison, the state attorney general, and Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, were also sent similar subpoenas.

The investigation is supercharged by the Democrats’ behind-the-scenes support for the mobs that harass federal enforcement officers and pro-enforcement demonstrations.

“You’ve got to get rid of sanctuary cities,” President Donald Trump told reporters at a Tuesday press conference. (Read more from “Justice Dept. to Interrogate Tim Walz, Four Other Top Minnesota Democrats” HERE)

NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it.

The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.

The NY Times even contacted the Department of Homeland Security about its growing popularity.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin was unmoved. “I’m more concerned with facts on the ground than I am about acronyms,” McLaughlin told the paper.

The NY Times reported that conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media that “an AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her.” Orlando radio host Pierce Outlaw called such women “the scourge of polite society.” (Read more from “NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women” HERE)

Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests

/17 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon reportedly ordered roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota as protests against federal immigration enforcement continue in Minneapolis.

Two U.S. defense officials told Reuters the Army placed two infantry battalions from the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division on standby. The troops specialize in cold-weather operations. Officials said the soldiers would deploy if violence in the state worsens, though it remains unclear whether any will actually be sent.

The White House said in a statement to The Washington Post that it is typical for the Pentagon “to be prepared for any decision the President may or may not make.” Defense officials characterized the move as “prudent planning,” the Post reported.

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell addressed the preparations in an emailed statement to the Associated Press (AP). He did not deny the orders were issued.

“The Department of War is always prepared to execute the orders of the Commander-in-Chief if called upon,” Parnell said. (Read more from “Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests” HERE)

Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CNN host Don Lemon defended left-wing rioters who disrupted an evangelical church service Sunday believing a pastor was connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a livestream broadcast.

Riots in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area are occurring as opposition to ICE’s enforcement operations was intensified after an ICE agent ambushed by three illegal immigrants wounded one of them Wednesday. The incident follows another ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good during a Jan. 17 “targeted” immigration enforcement operation. Lemon broadcast footage of the protest, including his arrival at Cities Church in Minneapolis, about 40 minutes into a six-and-a-half-hour livestream.

“Everybody has to be willing to sacrifice something to save democracy,” Lemon posted Sunday on TikTok in a caption for a video showing his arrival in Minneapolis.

During the livestream, Lemon described the protest — which disrupted the church service — as protesters chanting “Justice for Renee Good.”

Video recorded on a cell phone by the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots showed Good appearing to ignore commands from other ICE agents to exit her vehicle before she backed up her car and looked at the agent. She then allegedly accelerated towards the agent, after her girlfriend shouted, “Drive, baby, drive!” (Read more from “Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

An ICE agent in the Twin Cities slammed an agitator following his car and honking for impeding feds’ reported operation to nab a child sex offender.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer behind the wheel of a pick-up truck rolled up alongside a reporter who was observing the altercation from their parked car in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday, according to a video shared on X.

“We’re here to arrest a child sex offender. And you guys are out here honking,” the masked agent said.

“We’re not honking, we’re press,” the journalist recording the video responded.

The officer paused as he leaned out the window a little further and jabbed a finger towards the vehicle further down the street. (Read more from “ICE Agent Slams Protester During Search for Alleged Child Sex Offender: ‘That’s Who You’re Protecting’” HERE)

Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump preemptively endorsed a potential GOP primary foe of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy, a trained gastroenterologist who has been apprehensive about some of the administration’s vaccine and medical policies.

The president encouraged Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) to jump into the race for Senate, hailing the mother of two as a “TOTAL WINNER” and “wonderful person.”

“I am hearing that Julia is considering launching her Campaign for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times,” Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday.

“Should she decide to enter this Race, Julia Letlow has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JULIA, RUN!!!”

Cassidy (R-La.) launched his reelection bid last year and affirmed his commitment to running Saturday despite the president’s stamp of approval for Letlow. (Read more from “Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe” HERE)

Conservative Influencer Robbed of Pricey Camera, Dragged by Alleged Robber’s Car in Minneapolis Confrontation: Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Minneapolis protester allegedly stole a pricey camera from conservative provocateur Nick Sortor — who chased down the suspected thief and was dragged by her car as it swerved onto the sidewalk, according to shocking video.

In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street.

“What did she just do?” one of his companions asked as Sortor’s car came to an abrupt stop.

“She f–king…” Sortor started to say before he lunged out of his car and started chasing the suspect, who he later accused of stealing his $1,000 camera.

The two appear to get into a tussle in the street that’s largely obscured by Sortor’s car, according to the clip posted to X.

By the time the person filming follows after Sortor, the suspect is driving off — with the right-wing influencer hot on her trail as he clings to the driver’s side door handle.
