Some incidents are considered much more newsworthy than others…especially if ICE agents are involved. Violent crimes by illegal immigrants are not considered newsworthy. This week, DHS released a list of criminal aliens they’ve arrested in Texas. You’ll likely never hear their names on national TV.

On Tuesday, new videos emerged shedding more light on the ICE shooting of Venezuelan illegal immigrant Wilber Garces Perez, Sunday in Austin Texas, including that a car chase, appears to have occurred after he had been stopped by ICE, leading to the shooting. Tuesday on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, both a report on the videos and a follow-up with Perez’s attorney, ignored obvious questions raised by the videos.

Tapper began the segment in a manner most sympathetic to Perez, describing the illegal alien as, “A 28-year-old Venezuelan man, Wilber Garces Perez. He was shot in the back by an Immigrations and Custom Enforcement agent or ICE agent on Sunday while the gentleman was driving DoorDash.”

After giving an update on Perez’s health status, Tapper noted that existing videos, “don’t shed much light” then presented two conflicting accounts of what led up to the shooting.

As we saw once again this week, the most important story the Elitist Media will often cover is…the Elitist Media. Due to a combination of narcissistic coverage of the White House media ban and the usual stack of nonsensical filler, there are a multitude of important stories that were left off the network evening news. Here are a few of them.

Former Alaska congresswoman and current Senate candidate Mary Peltola was the subject of a recent article detailing her as an awful boss who addresses individuals with terms considered to be off-limits in the current discourse.

An accused ISIS member has been arrested by counter-terrorism agents over allegations he instructed people how to plan and conduct mass-casualty attacks from his base in Australia.

The Melbourne man, who the Australian Federal Police alleges was a propagandist for the Islamic extremist group, is accused of sending about 10,000 documents, messages, images, videos and audio files relating to executions and torture.

The 65-year-old retiree allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS.

The man, a Somali-born Australian citizen, is alleged to have acted on the behalf of the terrorist group without traveling to the territory it controlled during conflict in the Middle East.

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Department of Homeland Security to continue its citizenship verification program.

In a 6-3 shadow docket ruling in the case of DHS v. League of Women Voters, the justices allowed the Trump administration to expand the program that allows states to use Social Security records and other information to check voters’ citizenship status.

“By prohibiting interference with the disclosure of information regarding citizenship status to DHS—’notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law’—Congress necessarily authorized DHS to request and receive that information,” the majority opinion says.

The three liberals, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented.

“I was wrong” is one of the rarest sentences in American public life. Standard practice is to double down, spin, or wait for the news cycle to move on.

So it’s worth noticing when Bill Maher said it anyway, on his own show, to his own audience, about a claim he’d made about President Donald Trump.

On a recent episode of “Real Time,” Maher walked back something he’d said the week before: that Trump was “winning almost none” of his primary endorsements.

Trump, unwilling to let the line go unanswered, texted Maher directly.

Maher checked the numbers. He found he’d spoken wrongly. The actual record, Maher said, was just nine of the 260 candidates Trump endorsed this cycle have lost—a 97% win rate. Instead of quietly letting this falsehood slide, Maher acknowledged this on the air: “I did overstate it. That wasn’t true. Overstated. There, was that so hard, to not be a d— about everything?”

The problem is that ‘being a dick about everything’ seems to be the default setting for progs—those that aren’t being a cunt about everything.

This is why therapy is a pseudo-science.

The organization tasked with accrediting the nation’s law schools will appear before a federal advisory panel later this month to defend its government-recognized status as an accreditor. This status gives the Council of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar the power to determine which schools have access to federal student aid and, in most states, whether graduates may sit for the bar. In short, federal recognition gives the council extraordinary power over entry into the legal profession.

On Sunday, CNN’s State of the Union hosted Governor Wes Moore (D-Maryland). Bash questioned Moore about crimes committed by illegal immigrants, but the conversation quickly shifted to criticizing ICE. Moore claimed that ICE is bigger than the FBI and is putting “unaccountable and unqualified people” into communities.

Bash began the segment by focusing on the “illegal immigrant who was a rideshare driver” that raped his 17-year-old female passenger. She emphasized, “The fact is that Homeland Security is saying he was an undocumented immigrant and the Biden administration let him come in 2023.” Bash then asked Gov. Wes Moore whether he understood “how upset this makes people.” Then she allowed Moore to speak uninterrupted for a minute and a half.

Moore reassured the residents of Maryland that he has “no tolerance for violent offenders” and “there is nothing that we will not do to make sure that our communities are safe.” He confidently continued, “if someone commits a violent crime in our state, I want him in handcuffs in 24 hours and they will have accountability coming their way.”

Sure, I believe that.

Watts Up With That.

The price of electricity in America rose about 30% in five years. Washington has decided the culprit is a building that, for the most part, hasn’t been built yet.

Americans are right to be angry, and both parties are scrambling to respond before the midterms. Data centers are the most visible piece of the energy landscape, so data centers are getting the blame for higher prices. But that view misses the real issue.

To be clear, data centers should pay for the infrastructure built to serve them, and host communities deserve enforceable commitments rather than press releases. But those are questions about allocating cost. None of them create another megawatt, and the reason your bill is going up is that we stopped creating megawatts.

As usual, government is the reason we can’t have nice things.

Watts Up With That.

A group of masked Massachusetts teenagers stormed a McDonald’s restaurant and attacked an employee who was behind the counter during the chaotic invasion caught on camera.

Four teens were arrested for their roles in the violent takeover in Lynn — about 10 miles outside Boston — on Sept. 18 after a local football game let out, WHDH reported.

Distressing cellphone footage recorded from inside the McDonald’s shows the massive group descending into the fast-food joint before two of the teens are seen viciously attacking one of the workers.

Chinese authorities have reportedly taken possession of an F-35 cockpit canopy and weapons-bay door that were inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong while being shipped from Australia to the United States. The incident appears to have left physical components that incorporate aspects of the fighter’s low-observable design in the hands of a country that has spent years doing whatever it could to gain information on the aircraft and America’s stealth technology secrets in general.

So, what does all this mean? Let’s put it in perspective.

The parts in question were being shipped by UPS from Australia to the United States in late May, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. The components from a Royal Australian Air Force F-35A were being sent to the United States for inspection and possible repair or disposal.

…

What is highly unusual is where this particular shipment ended up. F-35 components moving through an established international logistics system apparently stopped in South Korea, and were then routed to Hong Kong. Chinese authorities subsequently took possession of the parts and have not returned them, according to the sources cited by Bloomberg.

A Democrat House candidate running for the Georgia General Assembly voted in both Nevada and Georgia primaries this year, casting two different votes in two different elections, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

According to records the AJC obtained through a public records request, David Dillie, the Democrat candidate for District 161, voted by absentee ballot in Nevada’s Republican primary election on June 9, roughly 2 1/2 years after he had moved back to Georgia.

District 161 includes a stretch of Savannah’s suburbs. According to AJC, Dillie is an aircraft mechanic at Gulfstream, a jet manufacturer based in Savannah.

Dillie is running against Republican Georgia state Rep. Bill Hitchens in the upcoming midterm election.

“Our sovereignty as a nation belongs to the American people and no one else,” David Metcalf, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, said in a statement. “Anyone, including illegal aliens, who votes illegally in our elections will be prosecuted for corrupting our democracy.”

The Justice Department has brought more than two dozen election fraud cases in September alone, mostly against noncitizens for voting or registering to vote, both of which are crimes.

The Justice Department charged Cliff Sanon, 39, an illegal alien from Haiti living in Philadelphia, with one count of submitting a fraudulent voter registration application. The criminal complaint alleges that Sanon submitted a voter registration application in February 2026 in Philadelphia County ahead of the May 2026 primary election. The complaint further alleges that Sanon submitted eight fraudulent voter registration applications. It alleges he voted in the November 2022 election.

A teacher at the Michigan synagogue and preschool attacked by an Islamic terrorist in May stated that she would not be voting for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, despite being a lifelong Democrat, because of his apparent lack of regard for the Jewish community.

After the attack took place, which began after a heavily armed Hezbollah-aligned terrorist rammed his car into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, El-Sayed justified the attack by stating that “hurt people hurt people.”

The attacker’s family members, who were also identified as Hezbollah fighters, were killed in Lebanon by an Israeli strike prior to the attack.

“Abdul El-Sayed stands for everything that I believe in, everything, except that he does not support the Jewish community,” Elise Otis, the teacher at Temple Israel, said. That is a big point for me. I have children, and God willing, will have grandchildren one day, and nieces and nephews, but he doesn’t support them, so I can’t support him.”

“I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel safe with him,” Otis added.

Last week California certified a Billionaire Wealth Tax for the November ballot: a 5 percent one-time levy on the state’s billionaires, paid out over five years, to raise about $20 billion a year for health care, food aid, and schools after federal cuts. We understand the impulse. The state has a revenue hole, and billionaires can afford to help fill it.

But the tax will fail at the thing it’s for, and it will fail for a simple reason: billionaires, unlike land, have feet.

We just spent months building the empirical case, calculating the aggregate of California’s land values, in a new report from the Center for Land Economics. The short version: land is one of the biggest pools of wealth there is, California has more of it than almost anything else, and it cannot leave the state.

…

The wealth tax’s own math assumes a $2 trillion base, which is a nearly 2x overestimate due to wealth flight.

Six California billionaires — Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Peter Thiel, Don Hankey, Travis Kalanick, and Steven Spielberg, worth roughly $540 billion combined — had already moved their tax residency out of state before the measure’s January 1, 2026 cutoff. Mark Zuckerberg (about $220 billion) followed in early 2026 and will almost certainly fight the retroactive reach in court. Add a roughly $200 billion overestimate that other economists have flagged in the proposal’s own model, and nearly half the assumed base is gone.

The Karmelo Anthony story never seems to end, and perhaps that’s a testament to the era we live in. It seems as though every prominent trial with any media attention is automatically politicized – From the Lindsay Clancy circus to the Luigi Mangionne case to Anthony stabbing Austin Metcalf, the political left has been particularly invasive. Not only do they consistently take the side of the murderers, but they continue in their efforts to blame and terrorize the victims.

Such is the ongoing reality of the Metcalf family, who are now faced with an array of threats from online lunatics and race militants looking for “payback” after the conviction of their hero, Karmelo Anthony.

A Missouri woman is currently facing federal charges for threatening to kill Austin Metcalf’s father (Jeff Metcalf) and “put him in a body bag” because of Anthony’s prison sentence. Court documents show Sharifa Nicole Henderson, who is also known as Riffa Henderson, was arrested on September 11 and indicted on three federal counts over messages she allegedly sent “on or about June 9” – which was the day Anthony was convicted and sentenced to 35 years behind bars.

One of President Donald Trump’s major focuses has been rooting out fraud across taxpayer-funded public services. Through their White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Co-chairs Vice President JD Vance and Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson have touted unprecedented efforts to expose and crack down on massive instances of fraud since February 2026.

Yet, despite the national implications and scope of Trump, Vance and Ferguson’s campaign against fraud, Google News implemented a months-long blackout of coverage of their key actions and accomplishments in its morning feed. Put into practice, the blackout means that millions of active Google News users are effectively kept in the dark about the White House’s actions against fraud.

The Trump administration has taken at least 51 key actions and victories against fraud since February, ranging from massive healthcare fraud takedowns to the suspension of billions of dollars in government funding. Yet, Google News featured none of them in its top 20 morning listings.

Among the many woke winners of this year’s prestigious National Book Awards is a black Columbia University professor whose screed attacks “white paint” as racist.

Professor Wendy Walters’ new book, “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint,” claims that white paint is not the “neutral” architectural design element that it initially appears to be.

Instead, she “interrogates all that we have taken for granted about the substance that colors, or fails to color, the structures and objects that surround us – and what the collective impulse toward white paint can tell us about culture, politics, and individual desire,” the publisher’s description states, in part.

The Daily Signal has obtained the death threats made against an outspoken House Freedom Caucus member and his kids that have landed the perpetrator with an almost 10-year sentence in federal prison.

The man behind the threats, 26-year-old Edwin Guerrero, was also hit with a $15,000 fine, United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced.

“This pro-Hamas individual said he was going to kill me, my children, and make me watch as he killed them. I’m incredibly grateful that now he’s experiencing his own 9/11,” Fine told the Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “The judge sentenced him to 9 years and 11 months in prison, one month shy of the maximum.”

An outspoken member of the House Freedom Caucus has called on President Donald Trump’s administration to remove a photojournalist from the United States after he publicly admitted in an online video interview that the conditions of his work were dictated by Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip.

The journalist, Motaz Azaiza, who has been championed by Rep. Rashida Tlaib and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, also admitted to witnessing the Israeli hostages of the Oct. 7 massacre being beaten and paraded in the streets of Gaza, but refused to take photos of the incident.

“People got out, watched, beat them, hit them, and I followed them and filmed,” Azaiza told the “Taqarrab” podcast over the weekend. “But I did not publish those videos.”

“Why? Because I did not want to ruin the lives of the people who were filmed,” the photographer continued. “I understood that Israel would use those videos to identify every person who was there and eliminate them.”

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Signal, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., said that Azaiza “needs to be deported.”

Stanford University took a real photograph of three students in a dining hall, ran it through artificial intelligence, and published the result as a “Welcome Home” banner. However, one of those students, Hispanic undergrad Billy Ramirez, class of 2027, was gone.

This was not a student meme. It was official marketing from Residential & Dining Enterprises, the office that runs housing and dining for one of the richest universities in America – an institution that still soaks up hundreds of millions in taxpayer money while preaching ethics about “synthetic media.”

When Bari Weiss was hired to lead CBS News last year, many of the network’s star reporters feared the centrist founder of The Free Press news site would turn the network into a mouthpiece for the Trump administration. Longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley was fired after he accused Weiss of “murdering the show.”

If the season premiere of “60 Minutes” is any indication, progressives have little to complain about. In a segment titled “The Pardon Economy,” veteran CBS reporter Lesley Stahl alleges that Trump has upended the way U.S. presidents have dispensed pardons for “100 years or more” by creating a “new system” that involves lobbyists and high-priced “pardon brokers.”

…

To situate Trump in this “pardon lobbyists” narrative, Stahl links the White House to two convicted con artists who claim close ties to Trump without disclosing one critical detail: There is no evidence the two have ever succeeded in getting anyone a pardon. While their efforts suggest that some in Washington may be trying to capitalize on the narrative about Trump’s alleged corruption – inspired, in part, by questionable pardons he has issued previously – “60 Minutes” offers no concrete proof connecting the administration to these money-making schemes.

Stahl’s report also ignored the long history of wrongdoers paying exorbitant fees for lobbyists to get their pardons viewed by the Oval Office – most famously Bill Clinton’s brother, Roger, and Hillary’s brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham.

ABC’s The View was having abang up day on Tuesday. In addition to co-host Sunny Hostin bragging about being a holdout juror who kelp a killer cannibal out of prison, co-host Sara Haines grew emotional as she whined about Patrick Clancy divorcing his wife, Lindsay Clancy after she strangled their three children to death. Haines couldn’t understand at what point his “marital love” ended.

Haines’ hysterics began with her noting that so many other people in Lindsay’s life were there in the courtroom for her but Patrick wasn’t.

“They were able to see her as a sick woman who, and even though they too were mourning the loss of their grandbabies and their nieces and nephews,” she bemoaned.

Haines was bewildered by how Patrick’s “marital love [could] end so quickly” and was willing to leave the woman who killed his three children.

Growing more emotional, Haines shared her hope that her husband Max Shifrin wouldn’t leave her if she strangled their kids with exercise bands. “I would hope that my husband wouldn’t sit there and just move right along and like not care,” she said.

A proper husband would have made her dead as soon as he was capable of doing so. That she is still alive represents serious cowardice on his part.

On a November afternoon in 1967, at a hall in Roskilde, Denmark, a panel of the most celebrated left-wing intellectuals in the world delivered a unanimous verdict at the second session of its “International War Crimes Tribunal”: the United States government was perpetrating a genocide against the people of Vietnam. The event was organised by Bertrand Russell, and Jean-Paul Sartre had spent months building the legal case. The tribunal’s investigators had made five fact-finding trips to Vietnam, where they collected testimony and documents, and assembled reports on everything from the origins of American intervention to the use of fragmentation bombs and the destruction of civilian areas.

…

The tribunal was funded by the North Vietnamese government. Russell had personally requested this from Ho Chi Minh. Political activist Staughton Lynd—chairman of the 1965 “March on Washington” and a staunch opponent of the war—rejected Russell’s invitation to join the tribunal, once it was made clear to him that Russell and the rest of the tribunal would not be investigating Viet Cong atrocities. The violence of the oppressed, he was told, could not be judged by the same standard as the violence of the oppressor. As Lynd recalled in an essay published that year in an issue of Liberation:

In conversation with the emissary who proffered the invitation, I urged that the alleged war crimes of any party to the conflict should come before the Tribunal. After all, I argued, a “crime” is an action that is wrong no matter who does it. … I asked, “What if it were shown that the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam tortures unarmed prisoners?” The answer, as I understood it, was, “Anything is justified that drives the imperialist aggressor into the sea.” I declined the invitation to be a member of the Tribunal.

If it weren’t for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

Union membership in the U.S. private sector has fallen to record lows, with 2024 data showing that only 5.9% of the U.S. private sector workforce is unionized, according to research by the Pew Research Center. It points out that this is down sharply from 20.1% in 1983 and 37% in 1957.

That number is about to get lower as employees at Penske Truck Leasing in Richmond are officially free from the unwanted “representation” of Teamsters Local 592 union officials, after the National Labor Relations Board certified a vote of Penske workers to “decertify” Teamsters union bosses.

The decertification effort was spearheaded by Penske employee Jordan Cutrell, who received free legal aid from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys during the decertification process.

Virginia is one of 26 states that still have “right to work” laws on their books. These safeguard workers by making union membership and dues payment strictly voluntary. But that position has fallen under attack as recently as the last General Assembly session.

While passing minimum wage hikes, compensation reforms, paid family leave, and employment regulations on hiring, state Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-Prince William, tried but failed to repeal the right-to-work law. The Senate did not take it up before the session’s deadline, effectively killing it for now.

While the Democrat-pleasing “fact checkers” at PolitiFact aren’t throwing any “False” flags at wild-eyed Trump haters comparing the president to mass-murdering dictators (“Hitler to Stalin to Idi Amin”) over pulling White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, they did pull out the “Mostly False” card for a mostly true claim about Team Biden dramatically shrinking the press-pass list in 2023.

PolitiFact research analyst Jeff Cercone took after a TikTok video with 72,000 views from “Barbie Unfiltered 67” which said, “Biden changed the White House press pool and CUT OFF 440 reporters’ credentials, yet got ZERO outrage from the fake news media.”

As an example of the problem, in the article in The Guardian on the Church of England and the slave trade we are told that 45 clergymen can be traced who invested in the slave trade.[ii] The author seems shocked. But is this a large number or a small one? Pettigrew and Co. do not say. But do the maths: in 1550 there were just shy of 9000 Anglican parishes across England and Wales, and about a 1000 more in Scotland. In 1800 the relative numbers were 11,000 in England and Wales and about 950 in Scotland. What’s surprising is not how many Anglican clerics invested in the slave trade across 250 years, but how few. But they won’t tell you that in The Guardian, probably because they haven’t thought to make the necessary calculations.

Pettigrew accepts that ‘slave traders were a tiny minority of the British population’ but gives them ‘outsized influence on this golden age of British development’.[iii] Yet the scale of that influence is never calibrated, merely asserted. ‘Interest in human trafficking’ apparently ‘cascaded down the social hierarchy’ but the 13,000 named individuals include no agricultural labourers or early industrial workers who made up the vast bulk of British society. This is hardly surprising as the Legacies of British Slavery project at University College, London – a much better example of scholarship than this Register – has estimated that somewhere between 5% and 15% of the British elite derived wealth from slavery, a group that might be numbered as a few thousand only, therefore.[iv]

The shareholders for the most infamous U.S. newspaper in circulation are holding it to account for the antisemitic and anti-Israel bile that has been replete throughout its reporting apparatus.

Shareholders launched a lawsuit against The New York Times alleging that the “paper has failed to meet its obligation: to tell readers the truth and correct itself in a timely fashion when it doesn’t.”

The suit, filed by the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA) and the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), was first revealed in a September 23 exclusive by The Free Press. It petitions the New York County Supreme Court to “ to force the Times board of directors to hand over internal records the company has refused to produce for four months, the majority of which pertain to the paper’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.”

Not a single Democrat actively participated in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on protecting women’s sports. Democrats did not show up, did not fill their two witness seats, or question the witnesses who were impacted by males competing in women’s sports.

Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin, the ranking member of the committee, claimed that America does not care about men competing in women’s sports and diverted his opening statement to his own agenda, then left. The other nine Democrat members on the committee did not show up.

According to polling, over 70% of Americans disagree with biological men competing in women’s sports, and over 60% favor laws that would require transgender athletes to compete on teams that match their biological sex instead of their gender identity.
