You may have seen TikTok “activists” teaching people how to outsmart ICE. They tell you not to open the door unless officers show a warrant signed by a judge.

They’re wrong. And dangerously so.
Here’s the truth:
If an illegal alien has gone through immigration court, lost their case, and received a final order of removal, ICE can serve them with an administrative warrant, also known as a Form I‑205.
These aren’t “random” arrests.
They occur after a neutral immigration judge has reviewed the case, heard arguments, and issued a ruling.

If someone ignores that ruling, they become a fugitive.
And ICE has the authority to bring fugitives into custody.

Shawn Ryan cancelled. Why?

I agreed to appear.
I agreed to the substance.
My attorney asked one clarifying question about a vague and poorly written legal clause.
My travel was booked back on the 15th.

“Basic journalism” involves asking “basic” follow-up questions and addressing real issues. Tucker nodded along like a dutiful little propagandist while the head of a terror state lied about killing Americans, funding proxies, and building a bomb.

Here are the fact checks that Iranian media (ie Tucker), left out 👇
Iranian President Pezeshkian claimed Netanyahu “invented the idea” that Iran seeks a nuclear bomb.

Yeah, ok.

The IAEA’s June 2025 report says Iran has denied access to inspectors since 2021 and is stockpiling enriched uranium. The agency has “lost continuity of knowledge” over key parts of Iran’s nuclear program.

Tucker’s *real* journalism might have challenged the Iranian president’s claim by asking a couple of very simple questions: If you’re not building a bomb, why are you enriching uranium to 60%—way beyond what’s needed for civilian energy? Why did Iran need a nuclear facility buried more than 200 feet beneath a mountain?
Pezeshkian goes on to blame *Israel* for “destroying diplomacy.”

Here’s reality: Iran armed terror groups across the region, plotted assassinations on U.S. soil, and built secret nuclear enrichment sites while chanting “Death to America.”

And in 2024, they launched two large-scale missile attacks on Israel—firing over 200 rockets, including ballistic missiles, in coordinated strikes designed to overwhelm defenses.

How exactly is that “diplomacy” on Iran’s part..?

Ever wonder why we shoot off fireworks and march down Main Street on the Fourth of July? Why the Bald Eagle became America’s symbol?

These aren’t random celebrations or symbols. Each tells the story of America’s fight for freedom.

Here’s a deep dive into what they mean and why they matter. 🧵👇
Fireworks go back over 2,000 years to ancient China, where alchemists packed gunpowder into bamboo. At first, they were used to scare off evil spirits, then as early weapons of war.

By the 13th century, they spread to Europe. Kings and emperors used them to show off power.

But leave it to America to flip the script: In 1777, while we were still fighting for independence, Congress approved fireworks to mark the one-year anniversary of the Declaration.

Philadelphia lit up the sky: not for royalty, but for liberty.

We don’t light the sky for rulers.
We light it to remember that we don’t have any.Image

The American Flag wasn’t always the one we know today, of course.

In 1777, while the Revolution was still being fought, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Resolution:
“Thirteen stripes, red and white… thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”

That first flag — designed by Francis Hopkinson and sewn by Betsy Ross — had 13 stars in a circle. It was a statement that the colonies stood as one.

Since then, the flag has been redesigned 27 times. New stars for every new state. But the stripes have never changed.Image

A CEO is assassinated, and now “wanted” posters are appearing across the country, targeting others simply for being successful. Someone even put up a highway sign calling for more murders. This isn’t just outrage—it’s mob mentality, and it’s tearing at the fabric of who we are as Americans.
Image
Mob mentality thrives on envy and resentment. It feeds on the dangerous lie that tearing others down will somehow build a better world. But what’s really happening? The Left has embraced a vision of communism—where success is punished, hard work is hated, and ambition is crushed under the weight of collective resentment.
Brian Thompson’s story shows everything the Left claims to fight for but refuses to celebrate. He grew up in small-town Iowa, the son of a beautician and a grain elevator worker. He worked summers in soybean fields and meatpacking plants, graduated valedictorian of his 50-person high school class, and went on to lead one of the world’s most important companies.

This is the American Dream. Hard work, decency, and ambition paying off. Yet he was murdered—because the mob now sees success as a crime.

According to a recent report by S&P Global, it takes an average of nearly 29 YEARS to build a new mine in the U.S., making it the second-longest mine development time in the world.

reuters.com/markets/commod…
Why does this matter? Reshoring and restoring American manufacturing will require various critical minerals as inputs to increasing production. Currently, the U.S. heavily depends on importing critical materials from countries like China.
The report attributes our lengthy lag time to a cumbersome permitting process. Streamlining these lengthy and confusing steps to obtain a mining permit is crucial. Additionally, America needs judicial reforms to prevent radical environmental groups from frivolously holding up projects for decades.
