Islamic marriages

Different marriage to make the point

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed set to share stage with Pakistani cleric who admitted marrying off his 13-year-old niece

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, is scheduled to headline an Islamic convention in Detroit that also features a Pakistani cleric who admitted arranging the marriage of his teenage niece, and whose anti-Jewish rhetoric prompted Canadian activists to seek a visa ban.

El-Sayed is listed on the convention itinerary for the Islamic Society of North America's 63rd annual gathering, set for September 4, 7 in Detroit. His panel, titled "Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America," is scheduled for September 5.

Also on the convention roster: Tariq Masood, a Pakistani mufti, a cleric qualified to issue religious rulings, who in a 2021 sermon admitted to the marriage of his 13-year-old niece, according to multiple Pakistani media reports cited by the Washington Free Beacon.

El-Sayed's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

The convention lineup raises pointed questions for a candidate who has built his national profile partly by attacking President Trump and Republicans as "pedophile protectors" over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. 

El-Sayed is now set to appear at the same event as a cleric whose recorded statements about child marriage were so alarming that Canadian activists in 2024 urged their government to block Masood's visa, citing what they called his "pedophilic rhetoric."

Nearly 300,000 minors — the vast majority of them girls — were legally married in the United States between 2000 and 2018, the year statehouses finally began taking action.

Child marriage, defined as any marriage where at least one of the parties is under the age of 18, was legal in all 50 states until then. Seventeen states have since passed bans to end the practice.

The Democrat Party Just Nominated a Congresswoman David Duke Called a Step Forward

The Democrat Party just nominated a congresswoman whose views on race David Duke publicly endorsed.

Now James Carville is begging Hakeem Jeffries to lock her out of the caucus before she burns it down. James Carville built the Clinton machine – and he just admitted conservatives were right all along.

Her name is Darializa Avila Chevalier.

• She wiped her dirty hands on the American flag.
• She called U.S. military veterans "child murderers."
• She denied Israel's existence and celebrated a Hamas-glorifying rally the day after October 7th.
• In old posts, she described interracial relationships involving white women as "fetishizing ugly colonizer women."

DSA-backed candidates won primaries across five states this cycle – including unseating the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in New York and a 30-year incumbent in Colorado – in what the DSA itself called a political "shockwave."

The co-chair of the DSA told reporters this summer their goal is to "replace capitalism with socialism."

ICE deports criminal illegals

ICE removes gang members convicted of manslaughter, attempted murder, and sexual assault

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported five illegal immigrant gang members with convictions ranging from manslaughter to sexual assault, part of what DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin called delivering on "President Trump's mandate from the American people."

The deportees, removed over the past week, belonged to four separate criminal gangs and held convictions across at least seven categories of violent and drug-related offenses. Three were Mexican nationals. One came from Honduras. One came from the Dominican Republic. All five had criminal records that stretched well beyond a single charge.

Mullin framed the removals as a direct public-safety gain. Breitbart News reported the secretary's full statement, in which he ticked through the categories of offenders ICE had put on planes.

Compliant Technologies Built a Glove That Stops a Fight Without a Single Bullet called G.L.O.V.E.

Tom Homan Just Laid the Leather on Critics of the New Gear He Got for ICE

Assaults on ICE agents have spiked more than 1,300 percent since Trump took office. Now the agency wants to arm agents with something besides a firearm.

The tool Homan just defended is already dividing Washington before agents even get it. DHS is planning to spend up to $20 million on a device called G.L.O.V.E., short for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. A Kentucky company called Compliant Technologies LLC builds it.

The glove looks normal until an agent activates it, then a single touch delivers a jolt strong enough to stop a combative suspect cold. No projectiles, no chase, no split second decision about pulling a trigger.

The manufacturer's own guidance keeps agents from using it on senior citizens, kids, pregnant women, or anyone with a serious disability.

ICE says agents will have to renew their certification every two years and are expected to try standard de-escalation tactics before ever reaching for the glove. DHS could start handing the gloves out as early as March 2027.

We don't vet anything or anyone it seems

Two federal agencies gave taxpayer dollars to charities with ties to terrorism

Every American understands a fundamental bargain with their government: you earn the money, Washington spends it responsibly, and at bare minimum, not a single dime ends up in the hands of anyone who wants to destroy this country.

After September 11th, that bargain was reinforced with solemn promises. New vetting systems. Tighter oversight. A national commitment that federal agencies would never again let money slide toward organizations with connections to designated terrorist groups.

Those promises, it turns out, were hollow. This week, investigative reporting revealed that two major federal agencies have been doing something so breathtakingly reckless that every American who has ever written a check to the IRS deserves a direct explanation from the people responsible.

Fourteen organizations with documented terrorist affiliations and extremist ties collected nearly $80 million through refugee resettlement and health grants. The crown jewel of this spending spree? The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ California chapter, which pocketed a jaw-dropping $42.2 million to provide services to Afghan refugees.

• The State Department and HHS directed roughly $2 billion to charities flagged for terrorist connections.
• CAIR received $42.2 million from HHS despite documented Hamas ties and FBI blacklisting.
• A mosque linked to 9/11 hijackers received $340,000 in taxpayer-funded federal sub-grants.
• Eighty-seven percent of the HHS grants to these organizations were approved under Biden.
• Direct financial support to Osama bin Laden

CRIME: 2025 had the lowest violent crime since 1937

FBI data shows violent crime and murder rates hit historic lows in 2025

The FBI's latest crime report shows murder fell 18.1% in a single year and the national homicide rate dropped to a level not seen since the Eisenhower era, numbers President Trump called "the best crime record in recorded history."

The bureau released detailed data from its Uniform Crime Reporting Program on Friday showing every major category of violent crime declined in 2025, with murder and robbery each dropping by roughly one-fifth.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who had previewed the findings in a May announcement, called the results "the single largest decrease in violent crime and murder since 1937."

Democrats in swing states love a good family ad. Dad at the grill. Kids on the lawn. Maybe a golden retriever for good measure. The messaging is always warm, relatable, aggressively normal. It’s designed to make you forget that the candidate’s actual policy positions would make your head spin.

But here’s the thing about family ads — they’re curated. And sometimes the most telling detail isn’t who made the final cut. It’s who got edited out. In Michigan right now, a Democratic Senate candidate is running a slick campaign built on heartland imagery and kitchen-table promises. One very important family member, however, didn’t make the reel. Wonder why.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s half-sister is a far-left University of Chicago professor who has advocated for a “stateless, communized society,” called for abolishing police, was arrested during an anti-ICE protest for spitting on a cop, celebrated the October 7, 2023 massacre, and has called for a “student intifada.”

Somalia TPS is over

Judge Burroughs Lifts Block on Ending Somalia TPS After Rep Andy Ogles Impeachment Filing

Burroughs Drops The Stay After 50 Days

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, lifted her administrative stay on Friday, allowing the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis to take effect.

According to the source report, that stay had been in place for 50 days while the administration waited for a real order it could deal with through the normal appeals process.

Earlier in the day, DHS General Counsel James Percival publicly criticized Burroughs for keeping the stay in place despite a U.S. Supreme Court decision involving TPS. Then, later Friday, the stay was lifted. Amazing how fast paperwork can move when the spotlight gets bright enough.

Murderer Mangione told the court he built the gun with a 3-D printer

Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killing

Luigi Mangione admitted in a Manhattan federal courtroom Friday that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a guilty plea that could now upend the separate state murder case against him.

The 28-year-old defendant, hands uncuffed behind his back and ankles shackled, stood in a beige prison jumpsuit and read from a written letter before U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett. His voice was solemn, close to choking up, as he delivered the words that ended months of legal maneuvering.

Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal counts, interstate stalking resulting in death and stalking through use of interstate facilities resulting in death, charges that carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The plea spares him a federal trial that had been set to begin in January, but it opens a new legal front: his defense team plans to argue that a separate New York state murder prosecution would amount to double jeopardy.

In his written statement, Mangione laid out the mechanics of the killing in plain, declarative language.

I don't want to hear another word defending Mangione from these silly social justice "fandom" white women or the liberal press.

Trump's Iran Strategy : Cause them Economic Pain

Trump shifts Iran strategy to economic pressure, concedes munitions are tight and no direct talks underway

President Trump now says the United States is "low-keying it" with Iran, relying on a naval blockade and economic pain rather than the "massive attack" he once threatened, while acknowledging that key munitions are running short and that no direct negotiations with Tehran are actually taking place.

In a phone interview with Axios reporter Barak Ravid, Trump framed the shift as strategic patience, not retreat. "We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money," he said. "We are only semi-negotiating with them." 

Asked about the stalled conflict, now more than five months old, Trump offered a breezy forecast: "It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game."

The remarks amount to a significant course correction. Trump had previously threatened Iran with overwhelming force, repeatedly promised an "imminent" deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and called earlier reports of a munitions shortage "treasonous."

Now he is publicly conceding that high-end weapons stocks are "a little bit tighter" and that Iran is not, in fact, sitting across the table from American negotiators.

American Missionary released after nearly 10 months

Christian Missionary Released

An American Christian missionary kidnapped outside his home in Niger in West Africa has been released after more than nine months in captivity and is now in the care of U.S. officials, his mission organization announced Friday.

Kevin Rideout, a longtime missionary and pilot with SIM International, was abducted in Niger’s capital, Niamey, on Oct. 21, 2025. SIM said Rideout is in good health and will soon be reunited with his wife, Krista, their children and extended family.

“We are grateful to confirm that our good friend and brother in Christ, Kevin Rideout, has been released,” SIM International said in its announcement.

The organization credited people around the world who prayed for the family throughout the ordeal and asked the public to respect their privacy as they reconnect after months apart.

The release closes a harrowing chapter for a family that had spent nearly 10 months waiting for news while U.S. officials tried to locate Rideout in one of the world’s most dangerous regions.

Democratic Socialists of America told Wilmington to "screw off"

Wilmington officials remove more than 30 unauthorized DSA benches from city bus stops

City and state officials in Wilmington, North Carolina, pulled more than 30 illegal bus stop benches built by Democratic Socialists of America activists, and the group is now pressuring local leaders to let them put the propaganda back.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation removed 20 of the benches on August 6, and the City of Wilmington hauled away the rest the following day. The benches had been installed at city bus stops starting in April without approval from the city, the local transit authority, or the state. They carried political slogans, "We Must Have Mass Social Housing!" and "Liberation for All," among others, and sat on public rights-of-way where political messaging is prohibited.

Wilmington City Attorney Meredith Everhart laid out the violations in a statement first reported by WECT-TV on July 6. The benches, she said, "were not approved by the city or WAVE, aren't the correct type of bench, aren't ADA compliant, didn't go through the required permitting process and carry political messaging, which isn't allowed in public right-of-ways." WAVE is Wilmington's transit system.

The DSA chapter ignored the city's requests to take the benches down. Instead, the group launched a pressure campaign, posting a petition on its website and framing the project as an act of civic virtue.

So the benches were not just benches. They were, by the group's own admission, ideological infrastructure, placed without permission on public property, branded with socialist slogans, and defended as a demonstration of what DSA governance would look like.

Alexander Muse catches Yale doing what the credentialed left does best: advocacy in a lab coat.

The Medicare for All study claims a single-payer system would save more than $1 trillion and prevent more than 114,000 deaths, but the “projection” is really a spreadsheet of wishful assumptions.

Cheaper drugs, Medicare-rate providers, lower administration, reduced fraud, fewer hospital visits—each gets entered like a fact, then the total gets sold as science. The arithmetic may add. The premises collapse.

Trump on Data Centers

President Donald Trump announced that 23 governors have signed his pledge that seeks to protect households from absorbing utility costs tied to data centers, the sprawling facilities powering artificial intelligence that are expanding rapidly across the country.

The governors, all Republicans, are among nearly 200 stakeholders ‒ major utility companies, data center developers, public power and co-ops ‒ who have signed Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The pledge was first put forward by the White House in March.

Trump, who has defended data centers as they face resistance in many communities, touted the growing coalition at a July 23 event at the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters, where he was joined by four of the governors.

DEI Agenda OUT at Foreign Service; Merit Policy IN

State Department Ends DEI Policies in Foreign Service

A review conducted by the State Department found that DEI content had been incorporated in the Foreign Service’s training curricula.

“The U.S. Department of State has put an end to the ideologically extreme and discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda, restoring merit, rigor, and accountability to the Foreign Service and refocusing training on practical diplomatic skills that serve the common interests of the American people,” a State Department official told The Epoch Times on Aug. 13.

Thursday’s announcement came after President Donald Trump issued a memorandum in March 2025 to remove the DEI policies instituted under the Biden administration.

The memorandum directed the State Department to revise the 2022–2025 “Decision Criteria for Tenure and Promotion in the Foreign Service” by removing references to “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.”

Immigrant groups want to protect Illegals from the Law

Lake Worth Beach urged to rethink PBSO contract extension over fears of immigration crackdown

It's all about ICE and allowing anyone to enter our country uninvited

Immigrant rights groups on Thursday gathered outside Lake Worth Beach City Hall to decry the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office 287(g) enforcement agreement with federal immigration authorities.

The groups are urging members of the Lake Worth Beach city commission to reject a proposed 10-year contract extension with the sheriff's office.

Their argument: “Lake Worth Beach has an opportunity to decide what kind of community it wants to be,” said Renata Bozzetto, Deputy Director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, (a group that wants all people to live and work without fear) “A 10-year law-enforcement agreement that expands collaboration with federal immigration authorities deserves far more scrutiny than a routine contract renewal."

"We have hundreds of families who are [being] separated, hundreds of kids who are left without a mom and a dad who are either in detention or deported at this moment," Bozzetto said. "It's hurting the community on a daily basis."

Lake Worth contracts with PBSO for 24/7 public safety services. PBSO provides everything from top command officers to school crossing guards, allowing the city not to have to fund its own police department.

The Lake Worth Beach city commission is expected to discuss the proposed extension with PBSO on Aug. 18.

The city will also supply a dedicated local district office for the assigned deputies. Annual cost could total nearly $16 million for the contract. Additional law enforcement services are billed at hourly rates of $142 for a deputy and $183 for a sergeant.
