    Homeland Security Announces ‘Midway Blitz’ ICE Operation in Chicago

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched its latest immigration crackdown on Monday, targeting Chicago.

    “DHS is launching Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in a drunk driving hit-and-run car wreck caused by criminal illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol in Illinois,” DHS wrote on the social platform X.

    “This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” DHS added, referring to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D).

    Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents already have been deployed to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and also rolled out operations in Boston over the weekend as part of President Trump’s sweeping anti-illegal immigration agenda, prompting protests across the country this summer.

    The latest effort marks an anticipated ramp-up of the initiatives.

    House Democrat Files Revenge Bill Following Trump Airport Proposal

      On Sunday, Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly defended his proposal saying he thinks it’s “only fitting” to name a federal prison after former President Trump

      “Well, there’s a nice federal penitentiary right near Mar-a-Lago. And I just thought for a guy who’s now got 88 criminal indictments pending, criminal — plus two major civil penalty trials that have already been resolved, costing him about a half a billion dollars,” Connolly told MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart.

      “I think it’s only fitting that if Republicans really want to honor Donald Trump, the most appropriate way to do that is to name a federal prison he might be visiting soon, after Donald J. Trump,” Connolly added.

      Connolly was one of three Democrats to introduce a bill Friday to change the name of the Miami Federal Correctional Institution in Florida to “Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.” 

      Connolly was joined by Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and John Garamendi (D-Calif.).

      The proposal came in response to a Republican push to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.

      Trump, Putin Call Expected ‘Soon’

        President-elect Trump is planning a phone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the near future according to incoming national security adviser, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.)

        In an interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” Waltz said “the preparations are underway” for a meeting between Trump and Putin.

        “I do expect a call … at least in the coming days and weeks,” Waltz said. “So, that would be a step, and we’ll take it from there.”

        Trump said Thursday he’s working to set up a meeting with Putin, telling reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., that Putin “wants to meet. And we’re setting that up.”

        Trump noted at the time he’s had “a lot of communication” with Chinese President Xi Jinping and has spoken with numerous other world leaders. But he has yet to speak with Putin.

        “But President Putin wants to meet. He’s said that even publicly, and we have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess,” Trump said of the war in Ukraine.

        Waltz said it was not yet clear whether the first call between the world leaders would include Zelensky.

        “Well, we haven’t set the exact framework for it yet. We’re working on that,” Waltz said, when asked about Zelensky.

        “From President Trump’s perspective, you can’t enter a deal if you don’t have some type of relationship and dialog with the other side. And we will absolutely establish that in the coming months,” Waltz said.

        Waltz also said he would “like to see a ceasefire any minute, any day” in the Russian-Ukraine war, which he said would be an “incredibly positive first step … that would then allow us to enter into the framework of some type of negotiated solution here.”

        “Everybody knows that this has to end somehow diplomatically,” Waltz said. “I just don’t think it’s realistic to say we’re going to expel every Russian from every inch of Ukrainian soil, even Crimea. President Trump has acknowledged that reality, and I think it’s been a huge step forward that the entire world is acknowledging that reality.”

        Lara Trump Considers Senate Bid in North Carolina to Replace Thom Tillis

          President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump is reportedly considering a potential Senate bid in North Carolina after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced he would not seek reelection.

          A source confirmed to The Hill that Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, the president’s third child, was weighing her options in the wake of Tillis’s announcement Sunday. NOTUS first reported she was “seriously considering” a bid.

          Lara Trump is a North Carolina native who graduated from N.C. State University.

          She was previously floated as a potential Senate candidate when former Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) retired in 2023. However, she opted not to launch a campaign for the seat, leaving the door open to a future run for office.

          Lara Trump served as a co-chair of the RNC during the 2024 campaign, with a focus on fundraising efforts. She stepped down from that position and earlier this year began hosting a weekend show on Fox News.

          The North Carolina Senate seat is widely considered one of the toughest for the GOP to defend next year.

          Other names being circulated among Republicans as potential Senate candidates include Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), an Army veteran and first-term member of Congress, and Michael Whatley, who is chair of the RNC and previously led the North Carolina GOP.

          Police Apprehend Suspects Linked To DOGE Staffer Beating

          A former staffer from President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — affectionately known by insiders as “Big Balls” — was the target of a violent attempted carjacking early Sunday morning in the heart of the nation’s capital.

          Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old software engineer and one of the standout young voices behind Trump’s government-cutting initiative, was ambushed around 3 a.m. in the Logan Circle neighborhood — a once-proud district now plagued by rising crime and emboldened youth gangs.

          According to police, a pack of teens approached Coristine and his girlfriend near their vehicle. The thugs made threats about stealing the car before Coristine — in true America First fashion — pushed his girlfriend to safety and prepared to defend himself.

          The mob attacked him until law enforcement officers, thankfully patrolling nearby, intervened. The suspects scattered, but two 15-year-old males were later apprehended and charged with unarmed carjacking.

          This disturbing incident is yet another example of what happens when Democrat-run cities allow lawlessness to fester

          Trump on Tuesday called for the District of Columbia to change its laws to allow for teenagers 14 and older to be prosecuted as adults and face lengthy prison sentences.

          He shared on Truth Social a graphic image of the bloodied former DOGE employee, but did not name Coristine, and included a lengthy message attacking violent crime in Washington. Trump blamed the city’s crime on local “youths,” who he said were not fearful of consequences.

          “They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!” the president wrote. “The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.”

          “Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see,” Trump added. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore.”

          Democrats are already ahead in 2026 and must be stopped — Help Republicans defend the House and Senate. DONATE NOW and defeat the Dems!

            In response to new regulations announced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) last week, a Florida Congressman has introduced a bill to abolish the agency entirely.

            Matt Gaetz, Republican Congressman representing Florida’s First Congressional District, announced the bill’s introduction Wednesday.

            Its entire text is as follows:

            To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
            Explosives.
            Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
            SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
            This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Abolish the ATF Act’’.
            SEC. 2. ABOLISHMENT OF THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS, AND EXPLOSIVES.
            The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is hereby abolished.

            The bill has already been praised by the American Firearms Association:

              Now Christmas Day is usually spent with family and friends around a beautiful tree but in a not-so-distant past, the events that took place on December 25th were pivotal to shaping our nation.

              These are some of the defining moments in American history that happened on Christmas Day.

              After a series of defeats, the Continental Army stood on the verge of losing the Revolutionary War. On Christmas night 1776, General George Washington led 2,400 troops across the frozen Delaware River, in a desperate attack against the Hessian garrison in Trenton, New Jersey. Washington’s surprise attack led to a decisive victory that changed the war’s course.

              After four months of negotiations in Ghent, Belgium, the United States, and Great Britain came to an agreement on Christmas Eve to end the thirty-two-month struggle between the two nations. Historians consider the war a draw, with both countries surrendering territories they conquered.

              The 22nd state became the first in the nation to officially recognize Christmas as a holiday, which wouldn’t become a federal holiday until 1870.

              John Philip Sousa, legendary director of the U.S. Marine Band, composed “Stars and Stripes Forever” on Christmas Day during a return trip from Europe across the Atlantic Ocean. His homesickness inspired the patriotic march, which became the official National March of the United States of America in 1987.

              As Gen. George S. Patton’s army attempted to relieve encircled U.S. forces in the Battle of the Bulge, wintry weather swept across Europe. Conditions were so bad that they threatened his timetable. Patton contacted James H. O’Neill, the Head Chaplain of the Third Army to deliver a prayer for good weather. O’Neill wrote a prayer, which went to every soldier in Patton’s Third Army. The next day the weather cleared for six straight days, allowing the Allies to deliver a knockout blow. On Christmas Eve, Patton pinned O’Neill with the Bronze Star Medal.

              1968 – Apollo 8 Orbits the Moon

              In one of the most-watched events in television history, the astronauts of Apollo 8 became the first men to orbit the moon and view the Earth from the natural satellite’s dark side on Christmas Eve. As the nation watched the otherworldly images from their spacecraft with rapt attention, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders read lines from the Bible’s Book of Genesis.

              The trio capped off their oration with the now-famous line: “Merry Christmas and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”

              Judge Rules Trump Assassination Attempt Suspect Ryan Routh Held Without Bail

              On Monday afternoon, a judge ruled that Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, will be held indefinitely without bail, citing the strength of the evidence against him.

              Prosecutors disclosed chilling new details about Routh’s plans in a memo aimed at convincing the court to detain him while he awaits trial. A letter found at Routh’s home, made public on Monday, revealed that Routh had predicted his failure in the assassination attempt and even offered a $150,000 bounty for anyone who successfully kills Trump.

              During a search of Routh’s Nissan SUV, investigators discovered a handwritten list outlining dates and locations where Trump was expected to appear in August, September and October 2024. Additionally, authorities found two extra license plates, six cell phones – one of which contained a Google search for directions from Palm Beach County to Mexico – and 12 pairs of gloves.

              Prosecutors also revealed that a witness came forward, stating that Routh had dropped off a box at their residence before the assassination attempt. The box reportedly contained ammunition, a metal pipe, building materials, four phones and several letters, including the letter outlining his plans in case he failed to kill Trump.

              Routh will remain in custody as the investigation and legal proceedings continue.

              Tucker Carlson Sets the Record Straight On Trump “Apology” Claim

              During a recent interview with German journalist Paul Ronzheimer, Tucker Carlson—former Fox News host and one of the boldest voices in conservative media—firmly denied reports that he apologized to President Donald J. Trump over criticism regarding U.S. policy toward Iran.

              What Trump Said

              Back on June 18, President Trump, during a candid moment in the Oval Office, reflected on Carlson’s prior criticisms about the administration’s military support for Israel and its proposed response to Iranian aggression. Trump remarked:

              “Tucker is a nice guy. He called and apologized the other day because he thought he said things that were a little bit too strong, and I appreciated that.”

              Tucker: I Didn’t Apologize—But I Still Back Trump

              When asked directly by Ronzheimer whether he did in fact apologize, Carlson didn’t beat around the bush:

              “Okay, no.”

              Carlson went on to clarify:

              “I really like Trump. I campaigned for Trump. I agree with Trump on the issues. I’d be happy to apologize—I’m an apologizer by nature—but I didn’t say anything that would warrant one in this case.”

              In typical Tucker fashion, he emphasized that disagreement among allies is not betrayal. He reaffirmed his longstanding support for President Trump, noting he has always stood by the policies that put America First.

              “I didn’t attack Trump. I disagreed with him, and I said how. That’s not the same thing as an attack, and it’s certainly not something I’d need to apologize for.”

              The Bottom Line: No Rift Here

              Despite what the media may want people to believe, there’s no feud brewing here. Carlson remains a powerful voice in the conservative movement and a staunch ally of President Trump. They may not agree 100% of the time—but they share a vision: strong borders, real national security, and putting American citizens first.

              Should Trump Bring Back His Winning ’16 Campaign Chief?

              ANALYSIS – Will Kellyanne Conway return to Team Trump? As Kamala Harris, who recently stole the campaign from her boss, Joe Biden, basks in her current sugar high glory, some in the Trump campaign are wondering if his team needs a reboot. 

              Or maybe an injection of a 2016 winner.

              And who better to revitalize Trump’s campaign, than his winning campaign manager from 2016, Kellyanne Conway.

              At least Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, reportedly thinks so.

              And a recent post on X showing pics of Conway and Trump together in New Jersey has fueled the speculation that a return to the campaign is in the works.

              In 2016 the brash flaxen haired pollster-turned campaign chief swooped in after the campaign’s failing start with its B Team and is rightly credited as helping to get Trump across the finish line to victory against Hillary Clinton.

              According to the Daily Beast:

              Donald Trump is looking to bring in Kellyanne Conway to shake up his faltering campaign, according to a new report.

              The outspoken adviser is seen as a trusted confidante by both the former president and, importantly, by Melania Trump who is “pushing” for Conway to return because she sees her as “a familiar face amid a sea of relative newcomers,” says Tara Palmeri in the online magazine, Puck.

              Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife of Trump’s son, Eric, is also said to be pushing for Conway to be brought on board to reignite campaign stalwarts taken by surprise by Kamala Harris’ fast start after Joe Biden’s sudden departure.

              One adviser told Puck that Trump listens to powerful women, more than men. “He listens to Hope Hicks. He listens to Brooke Rollins,” they tell Puck. “Ironically, he likes powerful women. If you’re a sharp woman, he will listen to you. Hope and these people could tell him the hardest shit. He may not have done anything, but at least he listens.”

              While she was a key player in Trump’s 2016 win, eight years ago, she could still be the spark that relights the fire of a campaign still unsteady after Harris’ surprising Democrat Party coup and subsequent rise.

              Puck notes:

              …it may also be fair to question whether his brain trust is living in the past. Chris LaCivita, who famously ran the Swift Boat Veterans campaign against John Kerry, has spearheaded an attack on Walz’s military record, but it’s yet to have the same impact as it did in 2004, when the U.S. had recently invaded Iraq. Other Trump allies are wondering if pollster Tony Fabrizio is likewise frozen in carbonite, as he considers a race-baiting strategy against Harris akin to the Willie Horton ads against Dukakis back in 1988. 

              Team Harris has raised $310 million in July, and another $36 million in the 24 hours after announcing her stolen Valor radical VP choice, Tim Walz.

              So far Team Trump hasn’t been able to land any significant blows on his younger female political opponent.

              According to Puck, Trump’s campaign team is split in half over whether she should return in a similar role to the one she had in 2016.

              Meanwhile, Conway is smoothing over any ruffled feather with JD Vance after openly suggesting Marco Rubio as Trump’s VP.

              As part of her mending relations effort, Conway recently tweeted “Brilliant” to Vance’s stunt when he landed at the same airport as Harris and Walz and challenged her to debate.

              One big potential drawback to Team Trump is the fact that Conway recently registered as a $50,000- a month foreign agent for a Ukrainian oligarch.

              This is already provoking accusations among her critics that it would be a conflict of interest. However, a campaign manager or advisor is not the same as a member of the administration. So, that issue may not matter much in these final three months of the campaign.
