Kristi Noem Joins Immigration Raid To Catch ‘Dirtbags’

    4

    Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem is hitting the ground running…

    Shortly after being confirmed to the Cabinet position, Noem joined an immigration enforcement raid in New York City on Tuesday, and saw Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers bust “dirtbags” in the sanctuary city.

    “Just now. Enforcement operation in NYC. Criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges is now in custody – thanks to @ICE,” Noem said on X alongside a video of an arrest.

    “Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets.”

    A DHS spokesperson said the dawn operation targeted “murderers, kidnappers, and individuals charged of assault and burglary.”

    The Drug Enforcement Administration and Justice Department were also cooperating with ICE. Among the arrests was a Dominican National wanted on an Interpol Red Notice for a double homicide in the DR. He fled to the United States. The operation is expected to continue through Friday.

    ICE said on Monday that it had made 1,179 arrests in a single day, and had issued 853 detainers โ€“ requests that illegal immigrants in custody be turned over to ICE on release. New York City is one of a number of “sanctuary” cities that do not cooperate with ICE detainers, although Mayor Eric Adams has softened that stance in recent months, saying he is prepared to work with ICE on deporting violent criminals.ย

    By The White House from Washington, DC - 2019 National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, Public Domain,

    Few presidents embraced the Christmas seasonโ€”and the deeper meaning behind itโ€”with the enthusiasm and clarity that President Donald J. Trump brought to the White House. For many Americans, his Christmas messages were a welcome return to tradition, faith, and a confident acknowledgment of our nationโ€™s Christian heritage. From proudly restoring โ€œMerry Christmasโ€ to the national vocabulary to showcasing patriotic and faith-centered dรฉcor, President Trump’s celebrations struck a chord with Republican and conservative families across the country.

    Below is a warm retrospective on the Christmases of the Trump yearsโ€”and the themes that made them unforgettable.

    President Trumpโ€™s first Christmas in the White House set the tone for the next four years. His message was unmistakable: America would celebrate Christmas boldly, respectfully, and unapologetically.

    Key Highlights:

    • Restoring tradition: Trump emphasized the importance of returning โ€œMerry Christmasโ€ to the national spotlight after years of cultural pressure toward secular alternatives.
    • A celebration of faith: In his 2017 address, he spoke openly about the birth of Jesus Christ and the โ€œmiracle of Christmas.โ€
    • Melania Trumpโ€™s dรฉcor: The First Lady unveiled a classic theme featuring rich reds, gold ornaments, and traditional greeneryโ€”reminiscent of historic American Christmases.

    This first year resonated deeply with conservative households who felt the holidayโ€™s religious roots deserved renewed honor.


    โญ 2018: โ€œWe Remember That Our Faith and Values Guide Usโ€

    In 2018, the White House emphasized unity, charity, and gratitude.

    Key Themes:

    • Honoring American service: President Trump paid tribute to servicemembers stationed abroad and highlighted the sacrifices of military families during the holidays.
    • A patriotic palette: Melania Trump introduced a bold display featuring red Christmas trees, symbolizing American bravery and the spirit of the season.
    • Renewed emphasis on hope: The President reminded Americans that Christmas celebrates โ€œthe greatest story ever told.โ€

    This year showcased the administrationโ€™s commitment to faith, patriotism, and the belief in Americaโ€™s enduring goodness.

    The 2019 Christmas season brought an elegant and traditional theme, and some of the administrationโ€™s strongest spiritual messaging.

    Key Themes:

    • Faith at the forefront: President Trump spoke extensively about Christโ€™s role in inspiring compassion, unity, and goodwill.
    • Classic American Christmas dรฉcor: Melania featured gold, green, and white elements evoking timeless holiday charm.
    • Celebrating American exceptionalism: The President highlighted the blessings of liberty and the responsibility to preserve them.

    This celebration reflected a serene confidence in Americaโ€™s cultural foundations and its deeply rooted Christian values.


    ๐ŸŽ† 2020: โ€œA Season of Hope in a Challenging Yearโ€

    Amid the trials of 2020, Christmas at the White House carried a message of resilience and faith.

    Key Themes:

    • Encouraging a nation under strain: President Trump called on Americans to rely on their faith and families to carry them through adversity.
    • Decor honoring essential workers: Melaniaโ€™s theme celebrated hospital staff, first responders, and volunteers nationwide.
    • A message of unity and prayer: The President emphasized that the Christmas miracle reminds us that God is with us, even in difficult times.

    In a year marked by uncertainty, this message struck a comforting note for many families.


    ๐ŸŽš๏ธ A Legacy of Faith, Patriotism, and โ€œMerry Christmasโ€

    Across his four Christmas seasons in the White House, President Trump consistently emphasized:

    • The religious meaning of Christmas
    • American tradition and patriotism
    • Gratitude for military and essential workers
    • Unity rooted in faith and freedom
    • A bold return to โ€œMerry Christmasโ€ in public life

    For many on the Right, these celebrations offered a refreshing reaffirmation of Americaโ€™s founding values and spiritual heritage.


    ๐ŸŒŸ Closing Message for This Christmas

    As we celebrate Christmas this year, President Trumpโ€™s holiday messages continue to resonate:
    Faith matters. Traditions matter. America matters.
    And the Christmas season remains a time to remember the blessings of liberty, the strength of family, and the boundless love of God.

    From our Great America News Desk team to you and your familyโ€”
    Merry Christmas, and God Bless America.

      Musk Signals Plan To Be Less Involved In Future Political Campaigns

      1

      Elon Musk is backing away from politics…

      Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, said this week that he will dial back his spending on future political campaigns.

      Asked about his plans for political contributions at Bloombergโ€™s Qatar Economic Forum, Musk said over video that heโ€™s โ€œgoing to do a lot less in the future.โ€ Musk spent nearly $240 million through his political action committee, America PAC, helping Trump and Republicans in the 2024 election cycle. His comments on Tuesday, however, indicate that he wonโ€™t be as aggressive in pushing Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

      โ€œI think Iโ€™ve done enough,โ€ Musk said, adding, โ€œIf I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I do not currently see a reason.โ€

      Watch:

      Along with his major donations to the Republican effort last election cycle, Musk was also a major fixture on the campaign trail, appearing multiple times alongside Trump. After Trump took office in January, Musk led the effort, alongside the Department of Government Efficiency project, to find waste and fraud within the federal government.

      After joining Trump in the White House, Musk got behind the conservative candidate in the closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court election, saying the race could affect the โ€œentire destinyโ€ of humanity. Muskโ€™s America PAC spent millions of dollars on race, but conservative candidate Brad Schimel lost to liberal candidate Susan Crawford by 10 percentage points, and the liberals maintained a majority on the court.

      Musk, who was regularly seen with the president during the Trump administrationโ€™s first 100 days, has taken a step back from overseeing Trumpโ€™s DOGE initiative.

      โ€œIโ€™ll be allocating far more of my time to Teslaโ€ฆโ€ Musk said last month.

      The Tesla CEO added in his interview on Tuesday that he is committed to leading the electric car company for at least the next five years, saying that he wants โ€œsufficient voting controlโ€ to keep Tesla from falling into the hands of activist investors.

      โ€œItโ€™s not a money thing,โ€ Musk said. โ€œItโ€™s a reasonable control thing over the future of the company.โ€

      Muskโ€™s shift back to focusing on Tesla comes after the company saw a drop in revenue and net income over the first quarter of 2025. 

      After Musk became a senior adviser to Trump and pushed for major government spending cuts, Tesla has been targeted by leftist activists who have set fires to and vandalized vehicles and threatened Tesla dealerships.

      โ€œFiring bullets into showrooms and burning down cars is unacceptable. Those people will go to prison, and the people that funded them and organized them will also go to prison. Donโ€™t worry, weโ€™re coming for you,โ€ Musk said on Tuesdayโ€™s video call to the applause of the crowd.

      Pakistan To Nominate Trump For Nobel Prize

      0

      A huge honor…

      The government of Pakistan said Friday it would nominateย President Trumpย for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize while lauding his contributions to global peace.

      Last month, the Trump administration intervened in a brief conflict betweenย India and Pakistanย after the former struck the latter in what it described as retaliatory strikes, killing dozens.ย 

      โ€œAt a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,โ€ the government of Pakistan wrote in a Friday statement on the social media platform X. 

      After Pakistan announced the nomination, Trump shared a grim outlook on his chances of obtaining recognition from an international award for conflict intervention hours afterย securing a treatyย between Rwanda and the Congo.

      โ€œNo, I wonโ€™t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and thatโ€™s all that matters to me!โ€ Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. 

      Formerย President Obamaย is the last sitting president toย receive a Nobel Peace Prizeย for international diplomacy in 2009, eight months into his first term.ย 

      โ€œPresident Trumpโ€™s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building,โ€ the government wrote.

      โ€œPakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran,โ€ they added. 

      In May, missiles from India killed 31 people and injured 57 in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the countryโ€™s Punjab province, according to the Pakistani military. 

      Amid the turmoil, Trump told foreign partners, โ€œIf I can do anything to help, I will be there,โ€ whileย Vice President Vanceย said the conflict was โ€œnone of our businessโ€ as threats of war between the two nuclear powers crescendoed.

      Days later, Trump announced that India and Pakistan agreed to a โ€œfull and immediateโ€ ceasefire with the help of U.S. mediation.

      Pakistanโ€™s government said his efforts were a sign of the leaderโ€™s commitment to stability and peace.

      Report: Secret Service In High Alert Over Iranian Assassination Threat

        2
        President Donald J. Trump is presented with a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade challenge coin following an air assault and gun rain demonstration at Fort Drum, New York, on August 13. The demonstration was part of President Trump's visit to the 10th Mountain Division (LI) to sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019, which increases the Army's authorized active-duty end strength by 4,000 enabling us to field critical capabilities in support of the National Defense Strategy. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Thomas Scaggs) 180813-A-TZ475-010

        Donald Trump is reportedly under increased surveillance due to an active security threat from Iran.

        U.S. intelligence received information in recent weeks indicating an Iran-backed plot to assassinateย Donald Trump, which led to increased security around the former president. CNNย reportedย that โ€œthereโ€™s no indication thatย Thomas Matthew Crooks,ย the would-be assassin who attempted to kill theย former presidentย on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.โ€

        Two federal law enforcement sources told Fox News the level of the plot by Iran is unclear.

        The sources said there has been an increase in Secret Service protection to Trump in recent weeks because of the intelligence.

        The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service has been increasingly concerned about Trump holding outdoor events, and have even expressed concern to Trumpโ€™s campaign.

        CNN Correspondentย Evan Perez explained some of the known details on-air Tuesday, saying, โ€œIn recent weeks, the US government received intelligence from a human source that indicated that the Iranians were plotting to try to kill former President Donald Trump. Now, that led immediately to an increase in the protection for the former president. We heard over the weekend from the Secret Service that in recent weeks they had increased their protection for the former president.โ€

        โ€œAnd so the question was exactly why. We now know that this is the reason why it was specific intelligence that was deemed to be credible enough, and thatโ€™s the reason why they increased the protection for the former president. Itโ€™s very important to point out that there is nothing to indicate at this point, is part of this investigation of the events on Saturday that the shooter, the would-be assassin that, tried to assassinate the former president on Saturday. Thereโ€™s no indication that had anything to do with this Iranian plot. It appears to be a coincidence, obviously, but it is one of those things that is raising new questions, I think, for the Secret Service and for everybody involved in the protection of Donald Trump, how it was that these events, took place as they did on Saturday,โ€ Perez added, referring to just how close a gunman came to Trump over the weekend.

        โ€œHow did someone, this 20-year-old person, get onto that roof, again, knowing that they had this intelligence, the Secret Service was aware of this intelligence, and they had taken obviously, some additional steps. But how did that person get on a roof and be able to fire off these shots, that almost killed, Donald Trump? Those are very, very big, important questions,โ€ Perez added.

        Amanda Head: Biden Admin Leaves Americans In The Dark As Usual

        Judge Orders Trump White House To Restore AP Access

          2

          On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, an appointee of President Trump, directed the White House to resume allowing the AP into the Oval Office, Air Force One and other limited spaces when theyโ€™re made available to other press pool members.

          He also granted the APโ€™s request for access to events open to all credentialed White House reporters, though he listed several caveats.

          โ€œThis injunction does not limit the various permissible reasons the Government may have for excluding journalists from limited-access events. It does not mandate that all eligible journalists, or indeed any journalists at all, be given access to the President or nonpublic government spaces. It does not prohibit government officials from freely choosing which journalists to sit down with for interviews or which onesโ€™ questions they answer. And it certainly does not prevent senior officials from publicly expressing their own views,โ€ McFadden wrote.

          โ€œNo, the Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalistsโ€”be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhereโ€”it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,โ€ he wrote. โ€œThe Constitution requires no less.โ€

          After his initial ruling, the judge paused the order from going into effect until April 13, to give the Trump administration time to appeal.

          Scores of news organizations use the AP Stylebook for guidance on spelling, grammar and how to refer to certain people and places, to help ensure such references are widely understood in the U.S. and globally.

          Charles Tobin, a lawyer for the AP, said during a hearing last month that the news organization was in the โ€œpenalty boxโ€ for crossing Trump, which he called โ€œabject retaliation.โ€

          โ€œThe White House hasnโ€™t hidden that,โ€ Tobin said. โ€œTheyโ€™ve doubled down.โ€

          AP spokesperson Lauren Easton said the decision affirms the fundamental right to โ€œspeak freely without government retaliation.โ€

          โ€œThis is a freedom guaranteed for all Americans in the U.S. Constitution,โ€ she said. โ€œWe look forward to continuing to provide factual, nonpartisan and independent coverage of the White House for billions of people around the world.โ€

          Jack Smith Launches New Law Firm With Trump Prosecution Veterans

            0
            Gage Skidmore Flickr

            Jack Smith โ€” the former special counsel who led the federal prosecutions of President Donald Trump โ€” is starting a private law firm in January 2026. And heโ€™s bringing reinforcements: former federal prosecutors Tim Heaphy, Thomas Windom, and David Harbach.

            Heaphy previously worked at Willkie Farr & Gallagher and served as the lead investigator for the Jan. 6 committee. Windom and Harbach helped Smith run the Trump election interference and classified documents cases.

            The group says its new practice will focus on investigations and litigation for both public and private clients. Theyโ€™re pitching โ€œfull-service representationโ€ built on โ€œintegrity, commitment, and zealous advocacy.โ€

            With multiple veterans of the Trump-era investigations joining forces, Smithโ€™s new firm is poised to become a magnet for clients facing federal probes or regulatory scrutiny. Their background running some of the most complex, high-profile cases in the country gives them instant appeal to companies and individuals navigating an enforcement landscape thatโ€™s grown more unpredictable. And with recent turmoil inside the Justice Department, from shifting legal strategies to rapid staff turnover, demand is rising for lawyers who know exactly how federal cases are assembled.

            The timing isnโ€™t accidental. Earlier this year, the administration suspended security clearances for lawyers at a D.C. firm that offered pro bono help to Smith โ€” a sign of escalating friction around anyone tied to the Trump prosecutions.

            Smith remains under investigation by the Office of Special Counsel, which is probing whether his Trump-era prosecutions crossed the Hatch Actโ€™s limits on political activity. But with his exit from government and the launch of a new private firm, he now has room to rebrand himself for civil and corporate work โ€” a shift likely to attract clients facing pressure from the federal government.

            The firm will open its doors next month, but details on fees, initial clients, or specific specialties remain unknown.

            Smith also still faces political and legal hurdles, including a subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee for a closed-door deposition on his handling of the Trump cases.

            Navarro Recommends Trump For Nobel Prize

            1

            White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has made it clear: President Donald J. Trumpโ€™s bold restructuring of global trade deserves the worldโ€™s highest economic recognition โ€” the Nobel Prize in Economics.

            Appearing on Fox Business, Navarro praised Trumpโ€™s unwavering commitment to putting America first at the negotiating table:

            โ€œSince President Trump has essentially taught the world trade economics, he might be up for the Nobel on economics. This is a fundamental restructuring of the international trade environment. The largest market in the world has drawn a line: you will not cheat us anymore,โ€ Navarro said.

            Under Trumpโ€™s leadership, the United States has replaced decades of bad deals with fair and reciprocal agreements. Tariffs โ€” dismissed by critics โ€” have functioned as tax cuts for the American economy, and inflation has stayed under control.

            America First Wins on the World Stage
            The Trump administrationโ€™s trade strategy is delivering results at lightning speed. Landmark agreements have been secured with the United Kingdom, European Union, and Japan, and negotiations are underway with China โ€” the worldโ€™s second-largest economy โ€” to ensure fair play and accountability.

            Navarro summed it up:

            โ€œThese deals are happening now fast and are incredibly effective.โ€

            Nominations Rolling In
            Trumpโ€™s bold leadership isnโ€™t just earning results โ€” itโ€™s earning global recognition. Multiple leaders and officials have nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize:

            • U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter (GA) and Darrell Issa (CA) for his groundbreaking Middle East peace agreements, including progress toward resolving tensions between Israel and Iran.
            • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who presented Trump with a formal letter of nomination after the Presidentโ€™s push for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
            • Pakistani officials praised Trumpโ€™s role in de-escalating disputes with India (despite later disagreements over separate actions in the region).

            The Trump Standard vs. the Obama Surprise
            While Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize just months into his first term without any major achievements, President Trump has delivered historic results โ€” and still doubts the globalist establishment will give him the recognition heโ€™s earned.

            โ€œI wonโ€™t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I wonโ€™t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I wonโ€™t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo,โ€ he wrote in a June Truth Social post, also naming conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East.

            โ€œNo, I wonโ€™t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and thatโ€™s all that matters to me!โ€ Trump added.
