Comedienne and actress Leslie Jones opined that the proper way to set things right is to send every employee of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to jail.

The former Saturday Night Live cast member made the comments while being interviewed by Nicolle Wallace on "The Best People" podcast.

'I just want a reckoning. I want a reckoning. Y'all know y'all did wrong stuff. You know some of the stuff you did was so wrong.'

Jones said there should be a reckoning after the midterm elections.

"Girl, I'm hoping, this is what I'm hoping, that midterms, people come out and vote like crazy to switch it over, and then the reckoning comes," Jones said to a laughing Wallace.

"That's why I want all, everybody that work for ICE, I want them in jail," she added. "I just want a reckoning. I want a reckoning. Y'all know y'all did wrong stuff. You know some of the stuff you did was so wrong. I need a reckoning. Because that's, to me, that's the only thing that's gonna make it right."

She also called for some accountability for others involved in politics.

"You see somebody that's doing something completely terrible, like some of these influencers, these crazy folks, and we let them go because freedom of speech, of course, but there should be accountability," she added.

"Gravity, like things should fall," Wallace chimed in.

Video of Jones' comments were widely circulated on social media.

Mass deportations have been a large part of President Donald Trump's agenda in order to combat the influx of illegal aliens after four years under the Biden administration. Some of those efforts have been stymied by legal challenges.

Fox News said ICE did not respond to a request for comment about Jones' wishes.

Australian PM says suspect in Bondi Beach massacre had been investigated for terror ties; vows to pass more gun control laws

The prime minister of Australia vowed to take whatever action is necessary to prevent more horrific terrorist attacks but immediately turned to gun control as the answer.

He also revealed that one of the two suspects in the massacre had been previously investigated over Islamic terror ties to a cell in Sydney.

'What we saw yesterday was an act of pure evil, an act of anti-Semitism, an act of terrorism.'

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made the comments Monday after two gunmen opened fire at a Jewish celebration at Bondi Beach and massacred at least 15 people.

"The government is prepared to take whatever action is necessary. Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws," he said.

Among the proposals to further restrict gun ownership is a limit on the number of guns a person can own as well as a review of gun permits held over a period of time.

The two gunmen were shot by police during the attack and were identified as a father and son. The 50-year-old father died of the gunshot injuries, but the son survived and is in custody. He is hospitalized in serious condition.

Albanese went on to confirm that the Australian Security Intelligence Organization had previously investigated the younger suspected gunman for six months in 2019 over ties to an Islamic State cell in Sydney.

"He was examined on the basis of being associated with others, and the assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence," Albanese added.

About 25 people are being treated at hospitals from the attack, and about 10 people are in critical condition.

Video from the attack showed a brave man tackle one of the suspects and wrestle away his weapon. He was identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, a father of two girls and the son of refugee parents from Syria.

He was later shot in the incident and is recuperating at a hospital. A donation page set up for the heroic man has raised over $1.9 million.

"What we saw yesterday was an act of pure evil, an act of anti-Semitism, an act of terrorism on our shores in an iconic Australian location, Bondi Beach, that is associated with joy, associated with families gathering, associated with celebrations, and it is forever tarnished by what has occurred last evening," Albanese said.

USA Today reporter crushed with backlash after calling 'Appeal to Heaven' flag 'Christian nationalist'

A USA Today reporter is facing fierce backlash after reporting that a top education official had hung a "Christian nationalist" symbol at his office — but it turned out to be an "Appeal to Heaven" flag.

Zach Schermele posted an image of the flag hung at the office of Murray Bessette, the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development. The flag has a long historical tradition in the U.S. going back to the Revolutionary War.

'Can we get a reporter with room temperature IQ or better?'

"A controversial Christian nationalist flag is hanging outside the D.C. office of a top Education Department official, the agency's union and an employee who has observed it firsthand told me," Schermele wrote on social media.

"The flag, which was raised by rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection," he added, "is adorning the office of Murray Bessette, principal deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development."

His bizarre accusation was widely mocked on social media.

"We're not doing this again. We're not letting leftist media ignorance of American history demonize a patriotic flag dating back to the Revolutionary War and the Continental Navy. Proud to have it outside my office!" Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah responded.

"Reminder: this is not a 'Christian nationalist flag.' It was commissioned by George Washington himself, was designed by his personal secretary, and has long served in official & unofficial capacities as a flag of Maine & Massachusetts," Dan McLaughlin of National Review replied.

"Can we get a reporter with room temperature IQ or better?" another detractor said.

"Attacking a revolutionary war flag that celebrates natural rights is a good way to announce you hate America's founding principles," Second Amendment activist Kostas Moros said.

Schermele did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck summarized the historical significance of the flag when Alito was smeared for displaying it.

"That was the symbol of New England since the 16th century. Why? Because New England had big pine trees. Why was that important? Because they could build ships and build them for England or whoever and ship giant masts, which were hard to find because nobody had the giant pine trees that New England had," Beck said.

The image also referred to a peace tradition among Iroquois Indians to ease tensions between warring nations.

"So, it is also the symbol of the tree of peace," he added. "It was also on the coinage produced by the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and it became the symbol of the colonial iron resistance as well as a multi-tribal support for independence now."

'Conflicts of interest': Democrat-led federal agencies allegedly blocked efforts to investigate Clinton Foundation

Federal agencies under Democratic leadership blocked investigation activities into the Clinton Foundation, according to new records obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

In 2015, Governmental Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer published his book “Clinton Cash,” in which he accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of a pay-to-play and bribery scheme involving their foundation’s donors. The accusations prompted the Department of Justice and the FBI to open investigations into the Clinton Foundation; however, those efforts were ultimately shut down.

‘That’s a night-and-day departure from how the Biden Justice Department handled the Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump.’

On Monday, Grassley announced that new “behind-the-scenes” records revealed “how top leadership during the Obama-Biden administration repeatedly interfered to prevent DOJ prosecutors and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents from investigating the Clinton Foundation’s financial dealings.”

Grassley stated that records revealed that FBI leadership “obstructed investigative activities.”

“According to emails obtained by my office, on July 20, 2016 — 111 days before the 2016 election — an agent with the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division (CID) stated that, ‘based on the sensitivities surrounding the Clinton Foundation,’ agents were prohibited from ‘subpoena[ing] additional records related to the Foundation, the Clintons’; ‘conduct[ing] any interviews related to the Foundation or the Clintons’; and ‘shar[ing] any of the Foundation bank account info with any other office.’ Emails also show that the FBI ‘[did] not want to create any impression we were investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons,’” Grassley wrote.

He claimed that the records indicated that in November 2016, the FBI blocked “the Clinton Foundation investigative team from accessing potentially incriminating evidence” on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

When President Donald Trump’s first administration reopened the investigation in 2017, DOJ holdovers from the prior administration allegedly provided the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas with documents that omitted key information about the prior alleged interference from DOJ and FBI officials. When the attorney’s office requested additional information, it did not receive a response.

The court reportedly concluded that “there appear[ed] to be conflicts of interest” within the DOJ’s leadership that undermined the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

“The mainstream media smeared any investigation into Hillary Clinton as unfounded nonsense, but in reality, line agents and federal prosecutors seeking to follow up on legitimate leads were sidelined by partisan leadership looking to save Clinton’s reputation. That’s a night-and-day departure from how the Biden Justice Department handled the Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump,” Grassley said.

“For too long, our Justice Department has chosen winners and losers instead of enforcing the law without regard to power, party, or privilege. That must never happen again. I thank Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel for turning over these records, so the American people finally know how their Justice Department failed in the Clinton investigations,” he added, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

Kamala Harris wants to run for president again? Some see signs despite donors and party leaders worrying she cannot win.

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is reportedly taking some steps toward running for president again, even though donors believe she cannot win.

An Axios report said Harris was signaling to possible competitors for the Democratic nomination that she may run again. Axios cited comments made about her and recent appearances she's made to maintain her position atop the party.

'People are done with the status quo, and they're ready to break things to force change.'

Axios reported that many Democratic donors and party leaders are worried Harris will lose if she runs again.

Harris has extended her book tour with more stops in 2026, including some in the important primary state of South Carolina, as well as cities with a large population of black voters.

She also appeared with her husband, Doug Emhoff, at the winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee in Los Angeles, California.

DNC chair Ken Martin reportedly suggested at the meeting that Harris might run again.

On Wednesday, Martin referred to Emhoff as the former second gentleman, then reportedly joked that he might become the future first gentleman.

Harris is also employing new rhetoric that some find to be far different from the communications strategy she used during the campaign.

"Both parties have failed to hold the public's trust," the former vice president said at the DNC meeting. "Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people. ... People are done with the status quo, and they're ready to break things to force change."

Polling also showed Harris to be one of the top contenders for the nomination.

A Harris spokesperson said in a statement to Axios that Harris "will approach 2026 with the same commitment that anchored 2025 — listening to the American people, reflecting where leadership has fallen short, and helping shape the path forward beyond this political moment."

In May, a top Harris-Walz campaign advisor blamed the election loss on former President Joe Biden for staying in his doomed re-election campaign far too long.

"It's all Biden. ... He totally f**ked us," David Plouffe said.

Ilhan Omar accuses ICE of 'racially profiling' her son during traffic stop

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was quick to play the race card after her son was pulled over by ICE in a traffic stop Sunday.

Omar's son was pulled over by ICE after making a stop at Target, and he was asked to produce his identification, according to the congresswoman's account. Despite Omar's accusations of racial profiling, her son was let go by ICE after producing his passport.

'There's nothing worse than when a person comes in and does nothing but b***h.'

"They are racially profiling," Omar said of the ICE raids in Minnesota. "They are looking for young men who look Somali that they think are undocumented."

"Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by ICE agents," Omar added. "Once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go."

Omar's political allies quickly came to bat for her and her son, doubling down on the narrative that he was pulled over for racial reasons. Notably, neither law enforcement nor the congresswoman have clarified why her son was pulled over in the first place.

"Congresswoman Omar’s son was pulled over by ICE while he was following the law, on his way home from Target," failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in a post on X. "This isn’t a targeted operation to find violent criminals, it’s racial profiling."

Despite the left decrying alleged racial motivations, President Donald Trump has maintained his criticisms of Omar and Somali migrants in Minnesota, citing their lack of assimilation and the disproportionally high rates of fraud.

Blaze Media reporter @rebekazeljko asks President Trump if he wants Ilhan Omar denaturalized: "She is very bad for our country. All she does is complain, complain, complain. She comes over here and tries to tell the USA how it should be run. We don't want to hear from her." pic.twitter.com/wJqO595SIR
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) December 12, 2025

"There's nothing worse than a person that comes in and does nothing but b***h," Trump told Blaze News in the Oval Office Friday, "and comes from a place where she shouldn't be telling us what to do. She shouldn't be telling us. And everybody agrees with me."

"What's happening in Minnesota with Somalia, where billions of dollars are being stolen like candy from a baby, we're not going to let that go on."

'You just committed a federal offense': Sen. Mike Lee refers apparent threat mocking Charlie Kirk's murder to the FBI

A social media user appeared to make a threat against Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, who referred the message to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The user appeared to post a heinous meme mocking the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk and added, "Your [sic] next buddy turn down the rhetoric."

Former US Attorney Jay Town responded that the meme and the message could be prosecuted as a threat against the senator's life.

Lee posted a screenshot of the alleged message, which was deleted from the X platform.

"It’s 'you’re,' not 'your,'" Lee responded. "Also, you just committed a federal offense."

The senator also tagged the accounts for FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"This is a clear threat," he wrote in a follow-up message.

The account was later suspended, and it no longer appears on the platform.

Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town responded that the meme and the message could be prosecuted as a threat against the senator's life.

"[Find Out] phase is coming when there’s a knock on your door! You can then explain how posting a pic of Charlie getting assassinated with 'you’re next' to a US Senator isn’t a threat… …TO A JURY!" he wrote.

Others questioned whether the message constituted a federal offense, but the meme ridiculing Kirk's death was universally condemned.

Efforts to reach the person who ran the account were unsuccessful.

While many called for all sides to tone down their political rhetoric in the wake of Kirk's shooting death in September, others online have lost careers and faced public outrage over their comments ridiculing the incident.

Blaze News has also reached out to Sen. Mike Lee's office for comment.

DC police chief manipulated crime stats to make city look better, report claims

Resigning Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith deliberately manipulated Washington, D.C., crime data to appear lower, according to a new report.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's majority staff released an interim report on Sunday as part of its ongoing investigation into allegations that MPD leadership pressured commanders to alter crime stats. The committee launched the probe into the department in August.

'Chief Smith should resign today.'

After interviewing seven acting MPD commanders and one suspended MPD commander, the committee found that the department's leadership placed "a higher priority on suppressing public reporting of crime statistics than stopping crime itself."

The commanders allegedly told lawmakers that "they were not only pressured, but also instructed, to lower crime classifications to lesser intermediate offenses in such a way that those offenses would not be included in the [daily crime report] reported to the public."

Smith allegedly created a "toxic management culture" that propagated a "culture of fear, intimidation, threats, and retaliation," the report read.

Lawmakers concluded that the MPD's crime data remains at risk of manipulation despite Smith's recent resignation announcement.

"Every single person who lives, works, or visits the District of Columbia deserves a safe city, yet it's now clear the American people were deliberately kept in the dark about the true crime rates in our nation's capital," stated committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.). "Testimony from experienced and courageous MPD commanders has exposed the truth: Chief Pamela Smith coerced staff to report artificially low crime data and cultivated a culture of fear to achieve her agenda. Chief Smith's decision to mislead the public by manipulating crime statistics is dangerous and undermines trust in both local leadership and law enforcement."

"Her planned resignation at the end of the month should not be seen as a voluntary choice, but as an inevitable consequence that should have occurred much earlier. Chief Smith should resign today," Comer added.

Former Police Commander Michael Pulliam was placed on administrative leave in May and later suspended after he was accused of manipulating crime data. Smith stated at the time that the department was committed to immediately addressing "any irregularity in crime data."

"Any allegation of this behavior will be dealt with through our internal processes, which will ensure those members are held accountable," she declared.

However, Smith announced her resignation last week, effective December 31. While she did not give a reason for her departure, some critics questioned the timing amid the ongoing allegations against her and the department.

These allegations against the department and its leadership emerged amid President Donald Trump's warning that his administration would take over D.C. if its leaders failed to address the area's crime crisis.

The MPD did not respond to a request for comment.
