Ilhan Omar KICKED OUT OF SENATE by SECURITY GUARDS: “GO BACK TO AFRICA?!”

Ilhan Omar was told "go back to Africa" and escorted out by security — and that's just the opening act. Republicans forced through a 218-to-211 vote removing Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, cutting her off from classified briefings, foreign policy decisions, and direct oversight of U.S. alliances. That's not just political drama — that's a member of Congress, elected by real voters, locked out of the room where war and peace decisions get made. Meanwhile the full House voted 372-to-53 to declare Iran the world's top state sponsor of terrorism, and over fifty Democrats blocked it. Look — when committee seats get stripped, security gets called, and racial slurs allegedly get thrown around the halls of Congress, the pressure on every institution holding this country together just cracked. What happens next to the people those committees were supposed to protect?

Victor Davis Hanson: There’s No Going Back If NYC Elects Zohran Mamdani

For the first time in the modern era, New York City may soon elect an unapologetic socialist as its mayor: Zohran Mamdani   The Democrat candidate has expressed ideas that go far beyond traditional liberal politics, echoing principles more commonly associated with communist ideology. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how New York’s shifting demographics and political culture have created the ideal conditions for Mamdani’s rise—and also how his mayoral reign could permanently alter the city’s future—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   “ Can he be stopped? The only way that he could be stopped, if the right part of the Left and the Center and the Right were to combine and say: ‘We don't like each other. We have very little in common. But this man represents the destruction of our way of life. He's anti-Israel. He is antisemitic. He is pro-Hamas. He is anti-capitalist. He's anti-free enterprise. He's socialistic. And he's gonna bankrupt the state and drive out our entire source of wealth that is the financial class itself.’”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has fired back at Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett after she went after him for being in a wheelchair, citing that the Democrats have “nothing to sell but hate.”

The outlandish Texas Democrat lawmaker was slammed after she called Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” on Saturday during a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles, California.

In an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” Tuesday night, the Texas Governor, who has been in a wheelchair since 1984 when a tree fell on his back in a freak accident, put the comments aside.

“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it,” he told host Sean Hannity. “It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red.”

Crockett represents the Lone Star State’s 30th Congressional District, which covers parts of Dallas County and Tarrant County. Dallas County voted for Harris in 2024 by 60% to 39%, while Tarrant County went for Trump by 52% to 48%.

However, the firebrand Democrat responded to criticism she received on social media, saying that the comments had nothing to do with Abbott’s disability.

“I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition — I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transport migrants into communities led by black mayors,” she wrote in a statement on X. “Keep that same energy for all people, not just your political adversaries.”

She branded the argument “another distraction,” adding, “Instead of obsessing over and hanging on to my every word, maybe my political foes should focus on doing the work of the people who elected us to improve their lives.”

The Texas Democrat made the outlandish comments about Abbott at a dinner over the weekend.

“We in these hot-ass Texas streets, honey,” she said. “Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there. Come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-ass mess, honey,” she went on.

Her comments caused an immediate backlash, with Representative Randy Weber (R-Texas) introducing a resolution to censure Crockett on Tuesday.

The resolution branded Crockett’s remarks “unbecoming of a Member of Congress” and “discriminatory in nature.”

Crockett recently made other headlines, after calling for a “Global day of action” against Elon Musk’s Tesla company.

She also mocked Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as having a “bad built, bleach blonde, butch body” during an Oversight Committee hearing last year.

Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused President Donald Trump of declaring a “dumb” trade war on Canada — maintaining that his country “will not back down.”

Trudeau spoke publicly hours after Trump enacted new tariffs against Mexico, Canada, and China.

He announced a 25% levy on “C$30 billion worth of U.S. imports, effective immediately.” Tariffs on another C$125 billion in U.S. goods will take effect in 21 days, he added, CNBC reported.

The prime minister went on to warn Trump and the U.S.

“A fight with Canada will have no winners,” Trudeau asserted as he addressed reporters in Ottawa while discussing the country’s response to the tariffs. “They point out that even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do,” he continued, addressing the president by his first name, Donald.

Trudeau pleaded for Canadians to “pull together,” and he vowed that Americans will feel the impact of these tariffs. Additionally, the outgoing Canadian leader accused Trump of purposely imposing the tariffs in an effort to collapse the Canadian economy — in order to make it easier to annex the country.

“We will never be the 51st state, but he can do damage to the Canadian economy, and he’s started this morning, but he is rapidly going to find out, as American families are going to find out, that that’s going to hurt people on both sides of the border.”

Canada has the world’s ninth largest economy and sits at around $2.3 trillion, which is only nearly the same size as the U.S. state of New York.

Nevertheless, Canada is still known for providing the U.S. a number of agricultural products, including grains such as wheat, barley, and oats, along with meat products like beef, pork, and poultry.

The U.S. also imports vehicles and auto parts from Canada, including cars, trucks, engines, transmissions, tires, and other components.

Trudeau later mentioned that he still has not spoken with Trump since the tariffs were put into effect.

“Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally — their closest friend. Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight,” he wrote on X.

This comes after Trudeau already announced “retaliatory tariffs” on $30 billion Canadian dollars ($20.7 billion) worth of American goods.

In response, Trump confidently threatened to increase Canada’s tariffs even more on Tuesday.

“Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!” he wrote on his Truth Social account.

Trudeau has insisted that Canadians don’t “hate” Americans, but he described the tariffs as a response to a “policy decision by the American government designed to go after the Canadian economy.”

“I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don’t want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don’t want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, the markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically,” Trudeau told reporters.

During his announcement, Trudeau also urged Canadians to use their own country’s products, boycott American products, and stop vacationing in Florida.

Canada’s provincial premiers are expected to give their own addresses regarding the retaliatory tariffs on Tuesday.

In one of the first retaliatory measures announced, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that his state was officially canceling its contract with Elon Musk-owned Starlink — which helps people in times of disaster when their electricity goes out.

This comes after Trump’s tariffs went into full effect just after midnight on Tuesday, in what the president cited were failures of Mexico, Canada, and China to stop the flow of deadly fentanyl coming into the U.S.

Mexico is expected to respond with retaliatory measures on U.S. goods on Sunday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Tuesday.

“There is no motive or reason, nor justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nation,” she said.

Trudeau’s likely successor, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, similarly announced that Canada will fight this.

“At 12:01 a.m., President Trump stabbed America’s best friend in the back. My message to the president is this — Canada will fight back,” he announced in a statement.

The new tariffs, which went into effect on Tuesday, impose a 25% levy on the U.S.’s North American neighbors and 20% on China.

The Bold Plan to TAKE BACK American Farmland Owned by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)

Congresswoman and Air Force veteran Anna Paulina Luna joins Glenn to clear up one of the Democrats' biggest lies about Trump’s Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth during his confirmation hearing: "Pete never said that he didn't want women to serve in the military.
