Video of Alex Pretti’s previous confrontation with federal immigration agents shows that he had allowed himself to become consumed by a deranged political ideology that legitimizes street violence, which explains how he found himself in the lethal position he did in his last confrontation. Newly released video from Jan. 13 in Minneapolis shows Pretti screaming […]
The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Jan. 29, 1776 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania John Hancock, the President of […]
Liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left have made a mockery of the compassion surrounding the deaths of left-wing agitators Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They have done so solely to manipulate the public, influence public opinion, and advance their radical immigration ideology, amid calls to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s a safe assumption […]
Today marks the one-year anniversary of a horrific tragedy over the skies of our nation’s capital — the crash of American Airlines Flight 5342. While 12 months have passed, the loss of those 67 souls and the impact it had on their loved ones, their communities, and the country remains painfully fresh. It is often […]
About a month late, presumably due to last fall’s government shutdown, the Census Bureau has released its estimates of the populations of the 50 states and the District of Columbia for July 1, 2025. It provides an interesting picture of what the country is, and is becoming, halfway through the decade of the 2020s and […]

A sovereign nation can do better than allowing foreigners into our country to steal money from the American taxpayer. It is clear […]
One year into the second Trump administration, the fight against diversity, equity, and inclusion needs to shift. President Donald Trump has made historic progress rolling back this racist and discriminatory ideology through a slew of executive orders and investigations. But while many institutions have ditched DEI, others have gone underground. That’s especially true at private […]
The Trump administration is in over its waders this time. Unlike Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in a likely justified shoot after she hit the agent with her vehicle earlier this month, the killing of 37-year-old Veterans Affairs hospital nurse Alex Pretti by one or perhaps multiple border patrol agents appears […]
The killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis is a tragedy. A 37-year-old intensive care nurse is dead. His family is grieving. Nothing written afterward should lose sight of that human reality. But tragedy does not require us to suspend judgment, nor does it obligate us to turn a contested incident into a moral lesson about […]
The celebration of America’s 250th birthday has begun, inaugurated by a patriotic presentation of the nation’s history at the Washington Monument on New Year’s Eve and followed by a packed calendar of events, including a Triumphal Arch near Arlington National Cemetery and the Great American State Fair planned for Independence Day. As we commemorate 250 […]
Senate Democrats are threatening to shut down the government again, this time claiming that “reforms” must be made to the Department of Homeland Security before they will approve spending that includes DHS appropriations. Specifically, the party of the Left is demanding that the law be changed so federal law enforcement officials must get a judicial […]
