After being subjected to months of pointless and annoying obstruction by Democrats and RINOs, retired Navy Captain Hung Cao finally gets confirmed as the next Under Secretary of the United States Navy.

Meanwhile, brave ICE agents continue cleaning up America’s streets, while likely unemployed leftists continue thinking they are heroes for rioting, breaking stuff, and acting like jackasses.

ICE Cracks Down on Crime in Memphis

In a 72-hour enforcement surge in Memphis, Tennessee, ICE agents, working with 13 law enforcement agencies, arrested 93 criminal illegal aliens. Among those arrested were a Tren de Aragua terrorist, a felon in possession of a firearm, a child rape suspect, and an individual charged with assaulting a federal officer.

The Memphis Safe Task Force—supported by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, and a $100 million state grant—also seized 28 illegal firearms as part of its efforts to enhance public safety. Governor Bill Lee emphasized that this multi-agency operation, led by the U.S. Marshals and Memphis Police, is expected to significantly reduce crime in the city.

Additionally, despite the federal government shutdown, ICE agents continue to relentlessly arrest criminal illegal aliens, including child sexual abusers, rapists, and domestic abusers, across American cities.

Recent arrests include a Mexican national convicted of sexually assaulting a child under 10 in California, an Ecuadorian convicted of rape in New York, and others with serious assault convictions in Texas and Utah.

The Department of Homeland Security emphasizes that these efforts continue to prioritize public safety in the face of leftist political sabotage.

Antifa Weirdos Pick “Fights” with ICE Agents in Illinois

On Friday, members of the domestic terrorist group Antifa disrupted law enforcement operations outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. They hurled insults such as “Nazis” and “Fuck you” while blocking access during the fifth straight week of such futile demonstrations. The incident resulted in over a dozen arrests, including charges for assaulting officers and obstruction.

These cowardly leftists, emboldened by sanctuary policies and recent violent rhetoric following the assassination of Charlie Kirk—linked to Antifa slogans—and a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, once again think they are heroes by obstructing brave ICE agents amid Operation Midway Blitz.

The operation has already netted over 800 criminal illegal aliens in Illinois, including murderers and rapists, in honor of hit-and-run victim Katie Abraham.

Bum on Bicycle Provokes ICE Agents Before Peddling Away

In the latest example of leftists “living their truth,” a cyclist in Chicago thought he was “brave” and a “winner” by taunting U.S. Border Patrol agents, yelling, “I’m not a U.S. citizen! What’s up?” and “Fuck Trump.” The bum on the bike quickly fled when agents chased him after he dropped his phone.

The incident occurred as dozens of agents patrolled downtown Chicago, countering riots at an ICE facility in Broadview and local Democratic efforts to obstruct immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, Chicago residents have expressed gratitude for the dangerous and noble work of ICE and Border Patrol in keeping their communities safe.

Leftists Attack ICE Agents, Provoke Defensive Gunshots

On Saturday morning near Chicago’s Broadview ICE facility, cowardly leftist perpetrators ambushed federal agents by ramming their vehicles and boxing them in with ten cars during routine patrols. The attack escalated ongoing anti-enforcement protests that have recently turned violent.

One armed assailant—a woman previously flagged for doxxing agents and inciting attacks online—brandished a semi-automatic weapon, forcing the agents to exit their immobilized vehicles and fire defensive shots. She was wounded non-fatally and later drove herself to the hospital.

Although no officers sustained serious injuries, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem swiftly deployed reinforcements and special operations units to secure the area, underscoring the agents’ unwavering commitment to protecting American communities amid such domestic terrorism.

Leftist Senator Continues Calling ICE Nazis

Here’s the latest example of leftists blatantly doing the very things they falsely accuse the right of doing. On CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) unleashed dishonest rhetoric by falsely accusing ICE agents of “Gestapo tactics” in Chicago, claiming they zip-tie children, raid apartments at night, and strip people naked—baseless smears that ignore the defensive actions of agents amid violent protests.

By stoking hatred against federal enforcers removing criminal illegal aliens, Duckworth’s lies perpetuate the chaos that threatens public safety—all while Operation Midway Blitz continues to arrest over 1,000 dangerous offenders in Illinois.

Plus, a Democrat politician in Virginia is facing widespread condemnation for fantasizing about shooting a former Republican politician and his children dying.

Meanwhile, ICE has released a list of 30 politicians—including Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA)—who have demonized brave ICE agents to appear courageous and elevate their own political profiles. Bastards.

Dumb Leftist’s Car Rolls Into Like During Anti-ICE Tirade

In Upton, Massachusetts, a leftist protester’s attempt to berate ICE agents arresting an illegal alien backfired comically when she forgot to put her car in park, causing it to roll into a body of water and sink.

The incident, captured on video, occurred amid ongoing anti-ICE protests in the sanctuary state, where agents are conducting operations like “Patriot 2.0” to apprehend dangerous criminals, including MS-13 gang members.

Her cowardly outburst—met with laughter and social media mockery—underscores how “brave” leftists actually look when uncourageously obstructing ICE agents working nobly to secure communities from violent illegal aliens.

Former Soros Financier Indicted for Disturbing Sex Offenses

In a chilling federal indictment, disgraced far-left Soros financier Howard Rubin and his personal assistant Jennifer Powers face charges of sex trafficking and interstate transport of women for prostitution.

They are accused of running a decade-long operation from 2009 to 2019 that spent over $1 million to lure dozens of vulnerable victims—many former Playboy models with histories of abuse or addiction—into Rubin’s Manhattan penthouse for violent BDSM encounters in a soundproofed “Dungeon” equipped with restraints and shock devices.

Powers, who pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn court and was released on $850,000 bond with house arrest, is accused of orchestrating logistics such as flights, payments, and NDAs. Rubin allegedly funded her lavish lifestyle, including a Texas home and family vacations, all unreported on tax returns filed with her husband, Stephen, leading to additional fraud charges.

These disgusting perpetrators, exploiting their power to inflict unthinkable trauma and silence victims with threats, now confront life sentences if convicted, as the FBI vows to pursue justice for the exploited women.

Woke YouTube Pays Trump $24.5 Million in Settlement

President Donald Trump has secured a $24.5 million settlement from YouTube, the latest Big Tech giant to face accountability for its blatant censorship of non-leftist voices. This includes suspending Trump’s account after January 6, 2021, a move that suppressed election integrity discussions and facilitated covert interference in the 2020 vote.

Of the payout, $22 million is earmarked for White House renovations, with the remainder aiding other censored conservatives like Naomi Wolf. The settlement exposes YouTube’s dishonest abuse of monopoly power to silence dissent while amplifying leftist narratives on COVID vaccines and election fraud.

Following similar $25 million concessions from Meta and $10 million from X, these consequences signal a pivotal shift. Platforms are now being forced to abandon biased moderation policies that endangered democracy and restore fairness under Trump’s second term.

War Secretary Hegseth Restores High Standards for Military

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a bold initiative to restore the Pentagon’s focus on warfighting by eliminating dangerous, politically driven policies like DEI and lenient standards that undermine military readiness and endanger troops.

Speaking at Marine Corps Base Quantico, he introduced rigorous, gender-neutral physical and grooming standards, including male-level PT tests and a combat field test, to ensure only the most capable lead and serve.

Hegseth condemned leftist politicians’ “war on warriors,” criticizing their focus on identity politics and a risk-averse culture that has weakened recruitment and battlefield outcomes. His “Golden Rule test” demands leaders treat units as they would their own child’s, prioritizing merit and combat readiness to protect American troops and secure victories.

No more out-of-shape rainbow soldiers who can’t fight, prefer living “their truths,” hate America, and think cowardice is courage if you just wish hard enough. Good for the troops. Good for America.

Hung Cao Confirmed as Under Secretary of the Navy

The U.S. Senate confirmed retired Navy Captain and former Special Operations Officer Hung Cao as Under Secretary of the Navy in a 52-45 vote on October 1, 2025, marking a long-awaited milestone for the decorated veteran who embodies the American Dream as a Vietnamese refugee turned combat leader.

President Donald Trump nominated Cao in February, praising his 25 years of service, Naval Academy education, master’s in physics, and deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. Cao is positioned to strengthen naval readiness and warfighting capabilities.
Sworn in on October 3, Cao’s approval—despite opposition from

Sen. Lisa Murkowski over his anti-DEI stance—ushers in merit-based reforms to bolster the Navy’s second-highest civilian role amid rising global threats.

Good for the Navy. Good for America. You’ve made the Vietnamese American community proud, Undersecretary Cao.

U.S. Treasury Looking to Make Trump Commemorative $1 Coins

The Treasury Department is planning to mint new $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump’s image to honor America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. The coins celebrate his transformative leadership, which strengthened the nation despite challenges such as rabid, systemic Democrat obstruction and explosive, fully-fledged, and deep-seated radical left domestic terrorism that had been groomed and incubated over several decades.

The proposed design, resembling Trump’s iconic fist-raised moment after surviving an assassination attempt, symbolizes resilience and the enduring spirit of American democracy. This initiative, leveraging the Treasury’s authority to issue commemorative coins, aims to mark a historic milestone with a tribute to one of the most influential presidents. It follows the success of past coins like the 1986 Statue of Liberty edition, which sold nearly 15.5 million units.

Bible Sales and Church Attendances Spike After Charlie Kirk Assassination

In the wake of influential conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, a profound spiritual revival dubbed the “Charlie Kirk Effect” has emerged, inspiring a 15% surge in church attendance and unprecedented Bible sales nationwide.

Faith leaders and Kirk’s widow, Erika, have hailed this trend as a beautiful fulfillment of his lifelong prayers for national renewal. Young people are flocking to churches, opening Bibles after years, and seeking life’s deeper purpose through God’s mercy. This uplifting movement exemplifies Charlie’s unyielding courage in faith, transforming tragedy into a widespread embrace of Christian values that unites supporters in hope and communal healing.

Vietnamese Americans have a saying: one should not judge someone’s character by what they say, but by what they actually do. For Charlie’s supporters, it’s prayer, church, and reading the Bible. Unlike the left, conservatives and normal Americans do not riot, commit violence, or continue spreading lies against the other side.

Also worthy of note, as we have been covering at length: even when a conservative is killed, it is the leftists who riot, commit violence, and spread lies, while also celebrating the conservative’s death. It must be said, even if it is tough to speak about. We cannot let the lowest and most cowardly form of evil get a free pass. Pray, love, but speak.

Public Trust in Corporate Media Crashes Even Further

Public trust in corporate media has plummeted to a record-low 28%, according to Gallup, driven by decades of exposed lies, hoaxes, and malicious bias—from the 2004 Rathergate scandal to recent fabrications like the Russia Collusion and Jussie Smollett hoaxes.

This collapse, down from 68–72% in the 1970s and 45% just eight years ago, reflects the media’s blatant disregard for journalistic integrity and contempt for ordinary Americans, costing them influence over elections and public opinion. Even Democrats’ trust has dropped from 76% in 2018 to 51% today, with only 27% of Independents and 28% of young adults trusting outlets like CBS, NBC, and The New York Times.

This erosion of credibility, fueled by alternative media and conservative voices like Rush Limbaugh, marks a triumph for truth, leaving the once-dominant media neutered and irrelevant to most Americans.

As long as there is truth and conversation, there is hope.
