<p>Speaking on Thursday, House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi made some outrageous comments about what the attitude of Americans should be vis-à-vis the Trump Administration&#8217;s policy regarding illegal immigrants, echoing the charge that the administration wants to separate parents from children and asking rhetorically &#8221;why there aren&#8217;t uprisings all over the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi stated:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When we had a hearing on a subject related to this asylum seeker, refugees, etc., the association of evangelicals, the evangelicals, testified that refugees and asylum, that is, they called it the crown jewel of America&#8217;s humanitarianism, crown jewel of American humanitarianism. And in order to do away with that crown jewel, they are doing away with children being with their moms. <strong>This is, I just even know why there aren&#8217;t uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy</strong> that they defend. It&#8217;s a horrible thing. And I don&#8217;t see any prospect for legislation here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A reporter asked, &#8220;Why not?&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosianswered, &#8220;Why not? What do we do here? We do nothing. We do nothing.&#8221;</p>

OUTRAGEOUS: Pelosi Asks ‘Why There Aren’t Uprisings All Over The Country’

CONTINUE READING

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On the heels of a tragic shooting in Utah that claimed the life of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, Stephen A. Smith took a rare detour from his usual sports commentary to deliver a sobering message on humanity, unity, and the role sports must play in a fractured America.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="375" data-end="815">“We saw this man speaking &#8230; and we saw him struck by a bullet in his neck,” Smith said, not mincing words describing the heinous act that took place at Utah Valley University. A 31-year-old father of two was gunned down in broad daylight, in front of his wife and children. And the horror of it, Smith said, transcends politics. It’s about a life lost — a husband, a father, a fellow American — executed for simply expressing his beliefs.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“There&#8217;s a lot more love and a lot more brotherhood and sisterhood and humanity that goes on in this world that does it than doesn&#8217;t,” he stated. “Yet the few who are evil amongst us are the ones that screech and make the most noise. And it&#8217;s affecting us in a way where it&#8217;s getting to a point where you&#8217;re going to get scared to walk out in the streets. You&#8217;re going to get scared to show love and affection and even to say hello to your fellow man and woman, your neighbor.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="817" data-end="1148">While Smith emphasized that <em data-start="845" data-end="867">Mad Dog Sports Radio</em> is not a political soapbox, he made clear: “I don&#8217;t care what his political beliefs were. I don&#8217;t care what he felt. I care about the fact that a man was gunned down in front of two of his children who are 5 years of age or less. That he&#8217;s dead at the age of 31. That his wife is a widow. That his children are fatherless because his ideas and his beliefs differed from somebody else.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That, he said, is the only thing that should matter. Not party. Not ideology. Humanity.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1150" data-end="1392">Smith blasted those online who celebrated<em> </em>Kirk’s death. “Shame. Shame on you,” he declared. For Smith, the very idea that someone could cheer the assassination of a man for his views marks a grotesque turning point in our moral compass.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1394" data-end="1831">“At some point in time, we got to remember that and remember to remind one another that there&#8217;s far more love in this world than hate and not allow evil and hate to dominate us and to strip us of what truly makes us the greatest nation in the world,” he declared. “It&#8217;s that mosaic that we live under, a willingness to embrace any and all and find a way to agree without being disagreeable. Not even because we may want to all the time, but because we know it&#8217;s what&#8217;s best for a society to be civilized and positioned to prosper. Someone forgot about that yesterday and murdered Charlie Kirk. Others forgot about it by parading online and celebrating an evil, vile occurrence.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The ESPN host, unapologetically black and proud of his journey, highlighted moments of unity he experiences every day. “I see people looking at me and smiling and saying, ‘What’s up, Stephen?’ and they don’t look anything like me. And I don’t care — because they’re showing me love, and I’m showing it right back.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2149" data-end="2413">In closing, he reminded listeners: “He&#8217;s gone at 31 just because he expressed thoughts that differed from somebody else apparently. And some might blame it because, ‘oh my God, he&#8217;s friends with the president’ and they may not be a Donald Trump supporter. I&#8217;m saying bump all that. He&#8217;s a human being living in the United States of America. This is America. We&#8217;re not supposed to condone stuff like this. We&#8217;re not supposed to say it&#8217;s okay.  I don&#8217;t give a damn who you are. Black, white, or anything in between. You&#8217;re a human being. That&#8217;s your fellow man and fellow woman out there.”</p>

‘Shame On You’: Stephen A. Smith Condemns Those Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-jasmine-crockett-refers-young-woman-murdered-ms-13-illegal-migrant-random-dead-person">ignited outrage</a> during a House Judiciary Committee markup when she referred to Kayla Hamilton — a 20-year-old autistic woman raped and murdered by an MS-13 gang member who entered the country as an unaccompanied minor — as a “random dead person.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="445" data-end="886">The committee was debating the Kayla Hamilton Act, legislation introduced by Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) that would require background checks on Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) before releasing them into U.S. communities. The bill is named in honor of Hamilton, who was brutally murdered in 2022 by Walter Javier Martinez, a 17-year-old illegal immigrant with known gang ties who had been placed in the U.S. without vetting.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="888" data-end="1327">Crockett, rather than focusing on the substance of the bill, lashed out at Republicans, accusing them of exploiting tragedies. “Stop just throwing a random dead person’s name on something for your own political expediency,” she said, in reference to Hamilton. Crockett didn’t stop there — she also accused the GOP of ignoring victims like those tied to Jeffrey Epstein and claimed Republicans only use tragic deaths when politically convenient.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1329" data-end="1577">Rep. Fry fired back, calling Crockett’s comments “disgusting rhetoric” and “shameful behavior.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1329" data-end="1577">“Let me be clear: Kayla Hamilton was not just a random person,” Fry told Fox Digital. “She was a young woman with a family and a future.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Sadly, this is what we’ve come to expect from Democrats, who will take any opportunity to downplay the tragedy of Americans killed by criminal illegal aliens,” Fry continued. “I expect Mrs. Crockett to issue a full, public apology to Kayla’s family and to every American who has suffered because of her party’s reckless, open-borders agenda.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kayla’s mother, Tammy Nobles, voiced support for the bill, stating clearly: “The Kayla Hamilton Act is necessary to ensure background checks of unaccompanied alien children occur before they are released. If that had happened in the case of Kayla’s murderer, authorities would have known he was an MS-13 gang member.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1870" data-end="2175">Martinez, who was sentenced to 70 years in prison, had a criminal history in El Salvador and MS-13 tattoos — details the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) failed to uncover or ignored before releasing him into the country. Later, he reportedly confessed to multiple additional murders and rapes.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2177" data-end="2247">The Kayla Hamilton Act aims to close these loopholes by <a href="https://fry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=905">mandating</a>:</p>

Jasmine Crockett Dismisses MS-13 Murder Victim As ‘Random Dead Person’

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In a display of grotesque moral bankruptcy, Oxford Union’s incoming president George Abaraonye appeared to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/11/oxford-union-president-george-abaraonye-charlie-kirk-murder/">celebrate</a> the murder of Charlie Kirk — just months after debating him on stage.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="266" data-end="574">Following Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University — where he was shot in the neck while calmly fielding questions — Abaraonye allegedly posted in a student WhatsApp group, “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s f***ing go,” and later followed it up with, “Charlie Kirk got shot loool,” indicating laughter, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/11/oxford-union-president-george-abaraonye-charlie-kirk-murder/">The Telegraph</a> reported.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This from a man tapped to lead the Oxford Union, a society historically revered for its commitment to civil discourse and open debate.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kirk, 31, a father of two and the founder of Turning Point USA, had become a lightning rod for the MAGA youth movement. He was in the middle of his “American Comeback Tour” when he was gunned down. His message — calling on students to challenge him face-to-face — was a hallmark of his commitment to real dialogue in a culture increasingly allergic to dissent.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Abaraonye had previously debated Kirk at the Oxford Union in May. Kirk, ever the civil opponent, reportedly told him afterward to &#8220;think about&#8221; their exchange.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1465" data-end="1784">In response to the explosive revelations, the Oxford Union scrambled into damage control. In a public statement, the institution wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The Oxford Union would like to unequivocally condemn the reported words and sentiments expressed by the President-Elect, George Abaraonye, with regards to the passing of Charlie Kirk. His reported views do not represent the Oxford Union&#8217;s current leadership or committee&#8217;s view. The current administration has, under President Moosa Harraj, no association with, and is entirely independent from, Mr Abaraonye&#8217;s administration.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>In alignment with the statement published by our Society earlier today, we reaffirm our stance that the Oxford Union firmly opposes all forms of political violence and strongly stands by our commitment to free speech and considerate debate. We would like to reiterate that our condolences lie with Charlie Kirk&#8217;s family, especially his wife and young children, who are enduring such terrible grief.</em></p>

<p>George Abaraonye has yet to respond publicly.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Charlie Kirk’s wife and young children now mourn the loss of a husband and father — while a would-be intellectual elite in Oxford jokes about his death.</p>

Oxford Union Prez-Elect Cheers Charlie Kirk’s Murder: ‘Let’s F***ing Go’

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="135" data-end="356">Two weeks after the brutal murder of 27-year-old Iryna Zarutska, former North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper finally broke his silence — only to face a firestorm of backlash for turning the tragedy into a political flex.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="358" data-end="537">Rather than expressing straightforward sympathy or addressing public concerns, Cooper, who is running for U.S. Senate and would likely face Republican front-runner Michael Whatley in the general election, issued a campaign-style statement that many called self-serving and deflective. He wrote, “The murder of Iryna Zarutska is a horrible tragedy … I&#8217;ve been Attorney General and Governor, dedicating my career to putting violent criminals behind bars and keeping them there … It’s time Michael Whatley and the GOP get serious in Washington about funding our law enforcement, and that’s what I’ll do as Senator.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">The murder of Iryna Zarutska is a horrible tragedy and we must do everything we can to keep people safe.</p>
<p>Only a cynical DC insider would think it&#8217;s acceptable to use her death for political points, especially one who supported cutting funding to law enforcement in NC.</p>
<p>— Roy Cooper (@RoyCooperNC) <a href="https://twitter.com/RoyCooperNC/status/1965546035515981935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="858" data-end="1075">Critics didn’t hold back. Instead of offering accountability or solutions, Cooper used Zarutska’s death as a springboard for Senate campaign talking points, drawing condemnation from across the political spectrum.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1079" data-end="1252">“This man waited TWO WEEKS to comment on the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska and then used it to launch an attack ad for his Senate run,” wrote conservative commentator Will Chamberlain.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Both Roy Cooper and Josh Stein are implicitly blaming Iryna Zarutska’s death on a lack of police funding &#8211; when police arrested the perp 14 times.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1424" data-end="1680">The most devastating takedown came from citizens and analysts who connected Cooper’s soft-on-crime policies to the environment that enabled Zarutska’s killer, who had a long history of violent behavior and had been repeatedly released without bail.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1682" data-end="1857">One viral post highlighted Cooper’s 2020 creation of the Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice (TREC), which implemented 125 “reform” recommendations, including reducing the use of cash bail, downgrading certain criminal offenses to infractions, and expanding “restorative justice” alternatives.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Hello Governor Cooper,</p>
<p>It is neither cynical nor partisan to ask how your decisions contributed to the environment in which this happened.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1988" data-end="2233">Under Cooper’s leadership, critics say, the justice system shifted from deterrence to leniency, and repeat violent offenders benefited. The suspect in Zarutska’s murder was reportedly released multiple times, despite clear red flags.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2237" data-end="2450">“You argue that critics ‘supported cutting funding to law enforcement,’” the post continued. “But these facts show under your leadership, the state itself redirected focus from deterrence and incapacitation toward leniency and diversion. Magistrates, operating within that climate, released Brown without bail even after multiple dangerous encounters. That’s downstream of leadership which prizes symbolic equity reforms over public safety … starting with you.”</p>

‘Sick Monster’: North Carolina Dem Slammed For Tone-Deaf Statement On Brutal Murder Of Iryna Zarutska

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="143" data-end="411">In a fiery show of force echoing the new Trump Doctrine on narco-terror, the U.S. Coast Guard over the weekend captured, burned, and sank a suspected drug boat in the Eastern Pacific — just days after the U.S. military obliterated an alleged cartel-run vessel from Venezuela.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="413" data-end="686">As part of Operation Pacific Viper, the USCG Cutter Stone conducted three separate drug interdictions in one night, seizing nearly 13,000 pounds of cocaine and capturing seven suspected traffickers, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Tuesday.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="688" data-end="748">DHS added a viral flair to its announcement, posting on X, “ASMR: @USCG  captures, burns, and sinks a drug boat.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“ASMR” stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, which is a pleasurable, tingling sensation on the scalp and back of the neck that can spread through the body.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The video, which quickly gained traction online, showed the dramatic takedown of the vessel, engulfed in flames and repeatedly shot at. It’s the most visually striking moment yet in Operation Pacific Viper, a rapidly escalating Coast Guard effort that has already seized more than 40,000 pounds of cocaine since its launch last month.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1178" data-end="1610">The Coast Guard said the operation involves a &#8220;surge&#8221; of cutters, aircraft, and tactical teams working with international partners to interdict drug routes from South America. The weekend strike came just seven days after a separate, unprecedented move: a U.S. Marine Corps strike team sank another suspected drug boat in the southern Caribbean Sea, which officials say was operated by Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan narco-gang.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1612" data-end="1856">That September 2 military strike — personally confirmed by President Donald Trump — marked the first direct lethal action against an alleged cartel vessel under Trump’s renewed war on narco-terrorism.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1612" data-end="1856">Speaking from the White House, Trump declared: “We just, over the last few minutes, shot out a drug-carrying boat … These came out of Venezuela. And there’s more where that came from.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1999" data-end="2286">He added that the action followed a top-level briefing with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and warned of more strikes to come. Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed the statement, confirming the strike and noting the vessel was operated by a “designated narco-terrorist organization.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2288" data-end="2632">With tensions rising between Washington and Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, the Trump administration has deployed at least eight U.S. Navy warships to the region, ramped up military authority via cartel terror designations, and increased the bounty on Maduro to $50 million, citing his government’s alleged ties to drug cartels.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2634" data-end="2891">This double blow — military precision by sea and tactical interdictions by the Coast Guard — signals a new era in U.S. drug enforcement policy.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">One thing is clear: the Trump administration isn’t just interdicting drugs — it’s sinking the whole ship.</p>

WATCH: Drug Boat Obliterated In Fiery Blaze As Trump Expands War On Narco-Terror

<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump, in a moment that captured the new tone of law and order in the nation’s capital, stared down radical Code Pink protesters Tuesday night as he walked into a crowded D.C. seafood restaurant to cheers and applause.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="412" data-end="735">Flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Trump was calm and composed as leftist agitators screamed “Free D.C., Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” — a chant that echoed from a group aligned with known Chinese Communist Party sympathizers.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="737" data-end="1093">Trump paused. He stared at them, unflinching. Then, after taking his seat, he calmly requested that the protesters be removed so the evening&#8217;s diners could enjoy their meals undisturbed. “We have a safe city now,” Trump had told the crowd on arrival. “We did it in twelve days … you won&#8217;t be mugged going home. Have a good time, everybody. Don&#8217;t drink too much.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1095" data-end="1150">Trump&#8217;s words weren’t bluster. They were backed by results.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1152" data-end="1492">In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-week-without-murder-trumps-crackdown-restores-safety-to-washington-d-c?utm_source=chatgpt.com">just the first week</a> of Trump’s law enforcement surge — announced in mid-August as a direct federal intervention under the Home Rule Act—carjackings dropped 83%, robberies 46%, and car thefts 21%. For the first time in months, Washington, D.C., went a whole week without a single murder — almost unheard of in a city where violence had become routine.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1494" data-end="1831">Trump’s executive order declared a “Crime Emergency,” placing the city’s police department under the authority of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Hundreds of federal agents and more than 800 National Guardsmen were deployed in what the administration called “massive enforcement operations” against gangs, drug traffickers, and violent offenders.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1833" data-end="2488">At roughly the same time, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-grassley-launches-congressional-inquiry-into-code-pink-peoples-forum-over-ccp-ties?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Grassley+Launches+Congressional+Inquiry+Into+Code+Pink%2C+People’s+Forum+Over+CCP+Ties">launched a congressional investigation</a> into Code Pink and The People’s Forum, both of which have financial and ideological ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Grassley warned that these groups may be acting as unregistered foreign agents in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). According to Grassley’s letter to the DOJ — obtained first by The Daily Wire — both organizations appear to be “funded and influenced by Mr. [Neville Roy] Singham and the communist Chinese government,” promoting CCP interests and potentially undermining U.S. policy.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2490" data-end="2843">Code Pink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham, has been tied to pro-CCP propaganda campaigns and even defended China’s detention of Uyghur Muslims. Unsurprisingly, it was Code Pink who showed up to harass Trump Tuesday night after the president’s federal crackdown began turning D.C. from a war zone into a functioning city again.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2845" data-end="3027">From cleaning up the streets to exposing foreign-backed radicalism, Trump isn’t just dining out in D.C. — he’s reclaiming it.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2845" data-end="3027">And based on Tuesday night’s staredown, he isn’t blinking.</p>
