A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise. They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund. KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid: “On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children." Political commentator Libs of TikTok posted footage of the arrests to social media platform X. "The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued. The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved. Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling." She commented on the arrest of the head waiter, saying, “So that was just my big concern like how is he gonna reach out to his family? Does the family even know that he’s not getting back on the ship today?” Mehta later attended a press conference with immigrant rights groups. Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, “This is not an isolated incident,” adding, “In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country. “It is our responsibility as a society, as working people, to really denounce these actions by Customs and Border Protection, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the prolonged detention of migrant workers, whether it be here in our own community as well as those that work on ships." Perhaps Mehta and Prado feel differently now knowing they're defending accused child predators. The arrested included Filipinos, an Indonesian, and a Portuguese crewmember. Per the New York Post, U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated of those individuals, "Officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography." CSEM stands for "child sexual exploitation material." Disney needs to do a lot more vetting when hiring their crew members. Parents are likely mortified to know these monsters were lurking around their children. If Democrats had their way, the operation to catch these people would not have gone through. Immigration officials are compared to Adolf Hitler's Gestapo or some other secret police for a totalitarian regime. By interfering with their work, real evil is allowed to flourish.

Cole Tomas Allen, the man accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. Saturday, reported released a manifesto to his close family members only minutes before the shooting took place. The dinner, an annual event with President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and other Trump administration officials in attendance, was cancelled and its attendees evacuated after gun shots rang out late Saturday night. On Sunday, the New York Post obtained and published what they report to be Allen’s full, 1,052-word manifesto in which he refers to himself as “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen.” Among the many chilling details laid out in the manifesto, included in full below, are the following: Allen maintained he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor”(referencing left-wing conspiracies related to President Trump) to commit crimes. He planned to target numerous Trump administration officials “prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.” Allen was willing to “go through most everyone” in attendance at the event “if it were absolutely necessary,” rationalizing the violence because all those present “[chose] to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor and are thus complicit.” Various talking points and accusations levied against President Trump in the note appear to come directly from various misleading left-wing conspiracies and talking points spread by Democratic Party members and other U.S. leftists. What follows is Allen’s manifesto, as released by the New York Post, in full, with one minor edit to remove profanity: Hello everybody! So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.” apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.) I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near. I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure. I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies. On to why I did any of this:I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. (Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.) While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.) Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t* Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me) Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security National Guard: same as Hotel Security Hotel Employees: not targets at all Guests: not targets at all In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls) I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that. Rebuttals to objections: Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek. Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a school kid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes. Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this. Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim? This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with. Objection 3: You didn’t get them all. Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere. Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this. Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered. I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.) Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years. Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years. Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism. Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning. Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration. Thank you all for everything. Sincerely, Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone. Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo. What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing. No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event. Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed s**t. Actually insane. Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done. Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.

After more than a decade in the public spotlight, and three assassination attempts on her husband in two years, Melania Trump has had enough. In a blistering post Monday on the social media platform X, the first lady nailed ABC “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel for his classless attacks on President Donald Trump and his family. And she demanded ABC do something about it. Melania referred to it only as a “monologue,” but her post was pretty clearly a response to a joke Kimmel made Thursday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, in which he referred to the first lady as an “expectant widow” — two days before a murderous gunman attacked the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington while both Trumps were inside. And there was truth in every line of her post: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and [deepen] the political sickness within America,” she wrote. “People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. “A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community?” Kimmel’s material is more about feeding the liberal superiority complex than it is about being funny. The fact that he still has a show at all is more a testament to the nauseatingly liberal bias of American media than any quality of the entertainment he provides. And if anything, “coward” is too kind a term for a man who casts potshots at the president while protected by his own celebrity, the kind of man who would lie to his benighted audience about matters like the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and then lie — tearfully — about his own lying. As to Melania’s demand that ABC do something about Kimmel? Smart money wouldn’t be betting on that happening anytime soon. As a symbol of the “resistance” to all things Trump, Kimmel enjoys a spiteful popularity that’s independent of any actual humor he’s still capable of. Long the No. 2 man in ratings for late-night shows, Kimmel is seen in the industry as poised to move into the No. 1 spot once the equally distasteful (and equally Trump-hating) Stephen Colbert leaves CBS at the end of May. ABC has already proven it has no problem allowing Kimmel to pollute American airwaves and politics in pursuit of profit — and Kimmel still makes a profit for the network, according to Fox Business senior correspondent and New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino. But for millions of Americans, sickened by the likes of Kimmel and Co., and their unrelenting attacks on a president supported by more than 77 million voters, the first lady’s post on Monday was a welcome turn. The American left will undoubtely ignore the post — or celebrate it in some sickening fashion. But the sane parts of the country will understand the point. Melania Trump has had enough. Conservative Americans have, too.
