No perp walks, no peace



Mexico. Washington, D.C. Minneapolis. Three places, one message: what our enemies believe and how we must respond if we don’t want to become their chattel.

Start with Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum openly prefers her own citizens — the so-called salt-of-the-earth workers — to remain north of the Rio Grande rather than return home. Mexico is so badly broken that demanding the right to export its people into a country that increasingly resents the burden has become a viable political position.

The angry young men Trump just won over demand accountability. Without it, no economic boom, no culture war victory, no campaign slogan will hold them.

Now move to Washington, D.C. How broken do you have to be to protest against safer streets? President Donald Trump has vowed to bring order to the nation’s capital, yet Democrats bristle at the one federal action they’ve apparently never wanted to seize for themselves. For decades they told us D.C. deserved statehood. Now that Trump is taking responsibility for law and order, suddenly they retreat.

The irony runs deeper. Mexico refuses to take back its “working class,” while Democrats refuse to federalize D.C. policing. The one time they might welcome federal control, they balk — because Trump is the guy enforcing it.

D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith even admitted she doesn’t understand what “chain of command” means. This is the same woman who served as the department’s chief equity officer before becoming chief. If she can’t figure out who’s in charge, how can anyone else? This is what happens when the left prizes ideology over competence. Throw away your Bibles and your Constitution, kids — we’re going for a ride!

Next stop: Minneapolis. Mayoral candidate Omar Fateh campaigns openly for a Marxist revolution, joining voices like New York’s Zohran Mamdani. They no longer bother to hide their intent. They say the quiet part loud: They want a world where you live under chains.

A decade ago, such a platform would have been a political death wish. Suggesting Democrats were headed down that road would have branded you a “conspiracy theorist.” Today, Democrats think they can win elections on it.

So here’s the pattern: Mexico won’t take back its own “industrious” citizens. Washington, D.C., Democrats prefer their largely black constituency to live under siege by criminals rather than accept Trump’s help. And in Minneapolis, a leading candidate runs on a platform of putting Somalia first.

We tell ourselves we can laugh this off as fringe madness — as long as it’s not in our back yard. But that’s denial. The threat is real, and it’s aimed at our children, if we last that long. This is invasion by increments: more foreigners, more crime, more leaders pretending they don’t know what a chain of command is. Like drums in the deep, the orcs are coming.

What should we do? Whether foreign enemies or domestic ones, whether illegal aliens or corrupt bureaucrats, the answer is the same.

Arrests.

The angry young men Trump just won over demand accountability. Without it, no economic boom, no culture war victory, no campaign slogan will hold them. Fail here and Republicans risk losing the House, neutering Trump’s presidency, and unleashing the very invasion already being planned.

Those who shrug at the chain of command will happily discard the Declaration of Independence next. They will crush the laws of nature and nature’s God. They will trample the Creator’s endowments under a mob now warming up and waiting in the wings.

There must be consequences. There must be arrests.

Trump’s next tariff should slap the service-sector sellouts



Even skeptics now hail President Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods as a major win for the American economy. Goods and services form the backbone of economic activity and trade. As groundbreaking as Trump’s tariff policies have been, the next step to secure a new American golden age is clear: Target the theft of American service-sector jobs.

Trump’s America First doctrine reshaped the U.S. political and economic landscape. It put the forgotten worker back at the center of policy, revived domestic manufacturing, and challenged the long-entrenched dogma of globalist free trade. But one glaring weakness remains — the mass offshoring of service-sector jobs, especially in call centers and customer support, to low-wage countries.

Mr. President, make the service sector American again.

Trump can fix this. The most effective tool is a targeted tariff on companies that ship service jobs overseas.

Most Americans know about the loss of manufacturing jobs. Fewer realize the scale of the service-industry exodus.

Pick up the phone to call customer service and the odds are high you’ll hear a voice thousands of miles from U.S. soil. Companies offshore call centers, IT help desks, software engineering, and back-office support to places like India and the Philippines, where workers earn a fraction of U.S. wages.

These jobs once anchored communities across the Midwest and South, providing stable, middle-class incomes without requiring a college degree. Today, millions of American workers — especially women, rural residents, and non-college-educated individuals — have been displaced. Many now settle for lower-paying, unstable, often part-time work.

At the same time, offshoring heightens data privacy risks, and foreign call centers operate with little or no U.S. oversight.

The practice isn’t limited to a few bad actors. Many Fortune 500 companies — Amazon, AT&T, Bank of America, Capital One, Citibank, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, Wells Fargo, Target, and Verizon — all run offshore call centers in India and the Philippines. Many smaller firms do the same. For every call center in the United States, at least 10 operate overseas.

The numbers are staggering. The Philippines leads with an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 million call center workers. India follows closely with 1.1 to 1.3 million. Mexico, another popular outsourcing hub, employs more than 700,000 in the field.

Trump has already proven tariffs can work, using them to force China to the negotiating table and to secure America First trade deals with the U.K., EU, and others. A service-import tariff would build on those wins.

Such a tariff could be assessed on every foreign-based call center employee serving U.S. customers. Companies that move jobs offshore after taking taxpayer bailouts or contracts could face additional tax penalties.

This isn’t protectionism — it’s patriotism. American tax dollars shouldn’t subsidize the destruction of American jobs.

Tariffs on offshored service-sector jobs could bring millions of positions back to U.S. soil. Trump has already targeted foreign goods. Now, it’s time for the second shoe to drop: Target foreign services.

Mr. President, make the service sector American again.

Exclusive: DHS underground nightclub raid dismantles alleged drug operation tied to illegal aliens



A July raid at an underground night club in Los Angeles, California, led to multiple arrests and the dismantling of a drug and financial scheme, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection executed a search warrant on July 19 at an El Monte nightclub as part of a drug trafficking investigation.

'Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians in California give cover to criminals to run an underground club filled with drugs and illegal financial schemes.'

Federal agents interrogated and searched 66 individuals, confiscating narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

DHS reported that it also seized thousands of gift cards that had been re-encoded and are suspected to be part of an illegal financial scheme.

ICE arrested eight illegal aliens, including six from China, one from Malaysia, and one from Mexico.

Among those apprehended, Qingmei Wang was charged with felony possession of illegal drugs with intent to distribute.

Party's over: Foreign truck drivers get reality check in Alabama, thanks to Trump



Two seemingly foreign truck drivers were ticketed while driving transport trucks through rural Alabama.

A state trooper from Dekalb County, Alabama, may have been among the first in the nation to issue tickets under President Trump's executive order that compels the use of "commonsense rules" in the trucking industry.

'They can't communicate, and they can't read road signs.'

The state trooper pulled over one driver from Texas and another from Florida to issue them tickets for not abiding by a simple new rule applied to truckers: Be proficient in English.

According to a report from WAFF 48, both tickets written by the trooper read, "Non-English-Speaking Driver" as the reason for the infraction. While it is unclear if these truckers were foreign nationals or illegal aliens, it may surprise some to learn that the standard for truckers needing to speak English has been around since the 1930s, according to outlet WTOC 11.


Mark Colson, CEO of the Alabama Trucking Association, commented on the matter and stated, "The English language proficiency standard has been there for a long time," and that the Barack Obama administration actually loosened enforcement on the rules and lowered penalties, he added.

A White House fact sheet explained in late April that the secretary of transportation was ordered to rescind guidance that "watered down the law" in terms of requiring English proficiency for commercial drivers, which was issued under President Obama.

A bilingual truck driver from Huntsville, Alabama — who is American — was also asked to give his thoughts, and he was not forgiving to truckers who do not speak the country's now-official language.

RELATED: The deadly trucker crisis — and why mass migration is to blame

Driver Jose Reyes said the number of drivers who do not speak English would "be a shock to a lot of people."

"Drivers are out here on the road, they're operating 80,000 pounds, and it's super dangerous. They can't communicate, and they can't read road signs," Reyes said.

The Alabama Trucking Association and Reyes agree: It is all about safety. Colson said being able to read the rules of the road and communicate with law enforcement, or anyone, is paramount.

Reyes added, it is a matter of safety to "get those drivers off the road because they can’t read or write basic English.”

A recent report from KTSM 9 News said truck drivers from Mexican companies are now scrambling to learn English so they are not ticketed while driving in the United States.

The Juarez Transportation Association in Mexico has been providing English classes for some of its drivers, one of whom told reporters that he was told "a long time ago" he needed to learn to speak English.

"Today, it is more necessary across the border," said the commercial truck driver.

For now, Reyes says non-English-speaking drivers are "having to use Google Translate to be able to talk to people, and you shouldn't have to do that."

Exclusive: Congress pushes bipartisan bill preventing Mexico's 'illegal seizure' of American assets



Congress is leading a latest bipartisan effort in Washington, D.C., this time to protect American interests abroad.

Republican Rep. August Pfluger of Texas is leading the charge to protect American property from foreign aggressors and any "unreasonable" or "discriminatory" practices inflicted upon them, according to bill text obtained exclusively by Blaze News. This effort is also being led by Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama, Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, and Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia.

'No nation should be allowed to bully an American firm without consequences.'

"American companies operating abroad should not have to fear arbitrary government actions that undermine their property rights," Pfluger told Blaze News."The Defending American Property Abroad Act will ensure that such actions do not go unchecked and that American businesses are protected from unjust expropriation."

"The protection of American property rights abroad is essential for fostering economic growth and maintaining our national security," Pfluger added. "I urge my colleagues in Congress to support this critical legislation and send a clear message that the United States will not tolerate unjust actions against American companies."

The specific case that inspired the legislation pertained to the Vulcan Materials Company, one of the largest producers of construction aggregates. Although it is an American company, Vulcan has facilities in both the United States and Mexico, making it a crucial part of the infrastructure in both countries.

Vulcan has been operating a limestone quarry in Mexico since 1986, but was unlawfully invaded and shut down by the Mexican government in May 2022. This act of aggression greatly affected the supply and distribution to the United States, and it put American jobs at risk.

“I strongly condemn the Mexican government’s threats against Vulcan Materials Company, and I am pleased to see this bipartisan and bicameral rebuke from the United States Senate,” Hagerty told Blaze News. "Under the leadership of Mexico’s previous president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and now the current president, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican government is committing a blatant theft against a major American company and, by extension, the United States itself."

"No nation should be allowed to bully an American firm without consequences," Hagerty added. "Our legislation will counter any attempt by the Mexican government to profit from illegal moves to expropriate, nationalize, or otherwise seize U.S. assets.”

Pfluger and Hagerty's Democratic counterparts expressed similar concerns, saying the Mexican government's actions were harmful to both business and diplomacy.

“The Mexican government’s unfair targeting of Vulcan Materials Company, a U.S.-based company that employs over 1,000 people in Virginia, is harmful to the relationship between our two countries and severely undermines investor confidence,” Kaine told Blaze News. “That’s why I’m joining my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan legislation to deter the illegal seizure of U.S. assets.”

Trump Suggests 30 Percent Tariffs For Mexico And EU

Trump Suggests 30 Percent Tariffs For Mexico And EU

Trump can’t let Reagan’s greatest mistake become his legacy



Charlie Kirk reported this week that President Trump faces growing pressure from GOP donors to cut a bipartisan deal offering amnesty to illegal aliens working in agriculture and hospitality. The donor class has long hated Trump and especially his supporters’ demand for real border security and immigration enforcement.

Big business pushing for cheap labor isn’t surprising. What’s alarming is Trump echoing their rhetoric.

What was effectively Ronald Reagan’s 1986 amnesty doomed California. It transformed a red stronghold into the Democrats’ electoral anchor. Trump can’t afford to make the same mistake.

Donald Trump says a lot of things. Anyone who gets emotionally exasperated at any single statement will start to look like a hysterical journalist. Salena Zito’s sage advice — “Take Trump seriously, not literally” — still applies. He might joke about annexing Canada, but those lines rarely lead to action.

At the same time, Trump takes public opinion seriously. He gauges crowd response and often walks back proposals that don't land. That makes it important to push back on bad ideas without losing perspective.

Trust the plan — but verify the plan regularly.

Kirk understands this. That’s why he’s mobilized opposition now to any amnesty deal, real or imagined. He wouldn’t act unless he sensed real movement inside the swamp. Corporate America has tolerated immigration enforcement as long as it targeted gang members and drug dealers. But when Immigration and Customs Enforcement started raiding farms and hotels, the donor class panicked.

Suddenly, Trump began repeating talking points from Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins about farmers and hotel owners losing their “best workers.” He promised to help them get the labor they need. His administration quietly issued guidance exempting farms and hotels from immigration raids.

The online backlash came fast — and fierce. The administration reversed course and rescinded the exemptions.

But Trump didn’t quite drop the issue. He kept talking about farmers’ need for labor. In the wake of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which delivered major funding for border security, Beltway insiders started floating a pivot: tack back to the center and strike a deal.

That whisper campaign likely prompted Kirk to sound the alarm.

Special carve-outs for illegal labor would betray MAGA’s core promise. Maybe 10 years ago, building a wall and deporting the worst offenders would have been enough. But after eight million illegal aliens surged across the border under Biden’s illegitimate regime, the situation changed. Democrats intentionally flooded the country to shift its demographics and tilt elections. If we don’t reverse that flood, they win.

After Kirk’s warning, Rollins re-emerged to promise that mass deportations would continue. The base cheered. But she added that future enforcement would be more “strategic” — a telling hedge. Trump followed up by insisting he opposed amnesty, then immediately floated a new “worker program” to help farmers. That language did not reassure.

The United States already has legal guest worker programs. Farms that ignore them and hire illegal aliens are breaking the law. They don’t deserve special treatment. They deserve prosecution.

The truth is, letting illegal aliens stay and rewarding them with American jobs is amnesty. Redefining the term won’t change that.

Conservatives have heard this pitch before. At this point, it’s almost comical. Every “immigration reform” ends the same way: Illegal aliens stay, and the floodgates reopen. It starts with the workers, then families follow. Chain migration becomes mass migration.

Trump was elected because he promised to break this cycle. He built his legacy on tough immigration policies — mass deportations, the wall, an America First agenda. To flirt with a Reagan-style amnesty now would be an incredible betrayal.

What was effectively Ronald Reagan’s 1986 amnesty doomed California. It transformed a red stronghold into the Democrats’ electoral anchor. Trump can’t afford to make the same mistake.

He must shut down this talk — shut down Rollins especially — and remember why voters chose him over the establishment in the first place. The donor class got Trump wrong in 2016. If he listens to its members now, they’ll take him — and the country — down with them.
