KNOWN WOLF -The background of 21-year-old terrorist Abdul Ballout is a case study in failure by European authorities.  Ballout previously travelled to Lebanon in 2025 to join ISIS in Syria.  He was identified by German authorities as an ISIS terrorist and arrested in Lebanon where he served three months in prison and was returned to Germany.

Abdul Ballout was arrested at the Berlin airport upon return and was convicted in May of this year for preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state, as well as publishing Islamic State propaganda on his Instagram account and other charges.  He was sentenced to 1 year, 10-months in prison but the sentence was suspended for time served; he was released from custody.

(Via Associated Press) – BERLIN (AP) — The suspect in the deadly Berlin Pride attack that left one person dead and 29 injured was shot and killed by police during a confrontation on Sunday in a suburb of the city, authorities said.

Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Berlin prosecutors said the suspect had previously sought to join the militant Islamic State group. (read more)

The ironic aspect to this particular attack is the cultural sensitivity of his victims.  Abdul Ballout killed the same people who march in the streets to protect Islamists from the consequences of their ideology.

An anti-ICE violent leftist attacked 26 Federal Plaza earlier this morning, where an immigration court takes place.  The attacker carried explosives and was captured on video pouring a flammable liquid in front of the building before setting it ablaze.   The suspect was intercepted during the attack and has been detained by police.

The New York City Fire Department reported to WABC that three civilians sustained minor injuries, with two declining medical treatment. The third individual was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.  FBI Director Kash Patel released a statement on X confirming details about the incident.

“This morning an individual deployed an incendiary device outside of 26 Federal Plaza in New York. The individual is in custody and two minor injuries reported thus far. FBI JTTF is investigating the incident,” Patel wrote on X.

The suspect is a known anti-ICE activist who used a cart to wheel in fireworks, an accelerant in buckets, and what looked like rifles to attack the federal building.  Some alarming video below.

Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hosting an event with various governments for a Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism. The event focuses on the reemergence of this threat to society and encourages stronger joint action to reinforce frontline defenses and close the gaps the terrorist actors continue to exploit.

As part of the State Department effort, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a remarkable speech to the audience. Within his remarks Rubio outlines the history of left-wing violence and lists current examples of how dangerous this has become. In many ways this is the anti-Obama speech that has long been needed.

This is a moment that can reset how we view terrorism in the 21st century, shifting from a terror-threat focus from Islamic extremism to the more pervasive threat from left-wing political violence. WATCH:

STATE DEPT – […] Far-left political terrorism is resurgent, manifesting in violent terrorist acts across the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Asia and beyond. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a deliberate, ideologically motivated strategy to destabilize free societies by violently targeting our political and economic systems, including attacks against private citizens, government officials, police and law enforcement, businesses, and critical infrastructure around the globe. For too long, however, this threat has remained a blind spot in the international community’s counterterrorism focus, underestimated and under-resourced, despite the danger it poses.

Yesterday DEEP STATE DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin ordered ICE agents to stop deportation apprehensions from vehicles following an ICE self-defense shooting as a vehicle was used as a weapon by an illegal alien.

Today, President Trump told his rogue DHS Secretary such an order was not approved by President Trump and ICE agents should continue all efforts to deport illegal aliens including traffic stops when needed.

[TRUTH SOCIAL] The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done. CRIME IS WAY DOWN IN AMERICA, in many cases with numbers that haven’t been seen in decades. The Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden allowed 25,000,000 people to pour into our Country, unchecked and unvetted. Many were Criminals, and we have to get them out. In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!

Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. I.C.E., be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job. Keep those Crime Stat Records coming! Remember, you are loved and respected in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

~PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Secretary Markwayne Mullin is another weak link in the lawful system of removing illegal aliens. Misplaced sympathies, regardless of motivation, are against the interests of law-abiding Americans.   Deportation efforts must continue with extreme prejudice against the illegal alien population.

Weak men make for hard times!

Hours later Markwayne Mullin reversed his order.

78-year-old Ann Widdecombe was a well-known conservative in British politics. She was a staunch defender of free speech, a direct opponent to leftist cultural Marxism and an advocate for the commonsense Reform Party.  Widdecombe was against abortion, gay rights, transgender advocacy and wokism writ large.

Ms. Widdecombe was beaten to death in her home Wednesday July 8th around 12:30pm by an assailant who drove 270 miles to kill her. Immediately the police said her murder was not politically motivated and not connected to foreign or domestic terrorism.

Despite the credulous claim that her brutal murder was not political in nature, the reality was her murderer drove over five hours to kill her. This was an obvious premeditated, calculated and targeted murder.  However, the politically correct leftist media and political institutions within U.K. government, were desperate in trying to deny the obvious.

Yesterday, the British Counterterrorism Police took over the investigation. “Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that as a result of “new information and evidence,” specialist counterterrorism officers were “now leading on the investigation into the horrific murder.”” {citation}

Today, it is admitted that her killer had a library of communist and Marxist ideology.

(DAILY MAIL) – […] Yesterday the probe was taken over by Counterterrorism Policing South East which announced the suspect had been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The suspect, who remains in custody, was the son of a teaching assistant. Relatives said he had become reclusive after the sudden death of his engineer father last year.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}

Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.

The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept.  Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration.  Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries {GO DEEP}.

Trayvon had burglarized a residence near the High School.  He was serving a two-week suspension from school, sent to his father Tracy Martin in the Orlando area, and it was during that two-week suspension when George Zimmerman spotted Trayvon looking in the patio doors and windows of residences in his condominium complex.  The rest is history.

School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was/is a very well connected political figure among Democrats.  He was even considered for a VP nomination.  However, it was Carvalho’s program to use the school police to inflate statistical improvements in schools that eventually led to neighboring Broward County doing the same thing in 2013. That “Promise Program” duplication led to the Parkland High School shooting.

Carvalho went to New York City under Mayor Bill de Blasio, and then out to Los Angeles.  In February of this year, reports surfaced of Carvalho being under an FBI investigation for misuse of office, financial crimes, wire fraud and embezzlement. Yesterday Carvalho announced his resignation.

A highly disturbing video out from yesterday’s “Raise the Colors” protest in Sheffield city center, shows police engaged in physical confrontations with protestors.  During one viral video, an aggressive police officer (center of still image below) grabs the young man with the flag on his shoulders and throws him violently into a steel and concrete bollard on the sidewalk.

The video shared on X platform (below) is very disturbing.  The force of the body slam into the bollard appears to show the protestors head hitting the steel, which is significantly bent after the blow when the protester hits the ground.

The officer who slammed the man into the bollard seems to immediately notice something terrible, as do the officers who quickly rush in to surround the victim.  The aggressive police officer then begins to back away as other police tend to the medical condition of the man on the sidewalk.

Given the force of the blow, as reflected in the bending of the bollard, there are now fast spreading rumors on the X platform that the protester was killed.  Again, the status of the victim is unknown as no official statement has been made by Sheffield police or local authorities.

People are now demanding to know what the current status of the protestor is.

New information about the brutal stabbing murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak continues to surface, and each revelation is seemingly worse than the last.  In the latest development the Daily Mail now outlines that Nowak’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, actually recorded his victim lying on the ground in agony as the murderer mocked him.

Incredibly the judge in the trial ruled the killer’s own recording of his murder, “too disturbing to be shown” in court.  Digwa did not call for an ambulance after stabbing his victim but did take pictures and record Henry Nowak.  However, the killer’s own video was NOT shown in court!  The footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was five minutes of Vickrum Digwa filming the 18-year-old as he bled to death on the pavement.

The entire event is highlighting a two-tiered policing system in the U.K, and now police are revealing documents and training material that specifically tell them to treat encounters with racial minorities differently than encounters with white people.  The outrage is growing and British politicians are afraid to talk about it.

Reform party leader Nigel Farage did not stay silent, and immediately he began facing backlash for speaking truthfully about the murder of Henry Nowak and the circumstances that led to a horrific encounter with police.  WATCH: 

.

Below is the initial statement from Nigel Farage that was mentioned in the interview above.

The continual message from President Trump to President Claudia Sheinbaum has been clear, ‘clean it up or possibly we will’, as Trump has publicly and repeatedly said Sheinbaum and the Mexican government were under the control of Mexican cartels.

Following the daring capture of Venezuela dictator Nicholas Maduro, Mexican President Sheinbaum took notice.  In the past few months dozens of government officials and cartel members have been targeted, arrested, indicted, extradited and removed from positions of influence.

Today, Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch announced the arrest of Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián (pictured left).

(Bloomberg) — Mexican authorities detained the mayor of a historic city near the capital, the latest move designed to show the government is rooting out corrupt politicians from its ranks.

Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián was arrested Saturday, Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a post on social media platform X. An arrest warrant had been issued by the general prosecutor’s office on May 20.

Corona was on the run in recent days, after the security ministry announced in May the arrests of other top officials in Morelos State. The moves are part of a broader operation under President Claudia Sheinbaum, who took office in 2024 with an anti-corruption message, to nab dozens of politicians taking part in extortion scams and with alleged ties to broader crime rackets.

“With this operation, more than 85 officials and former officials have been detained, including seven mayors currently in office,” García Harfuch said on X. “The government of Mexico maintains a policy of zero impunity regarding any links between authorities and criminal groups.”

USAO Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, announced the initial fraud indictments for the first set of fraudsters operating in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  McDonald emphasized this is only the beginning of the arrests in Minnesota as the fraud is beyond a scale that can be appropriately explained.

Together with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, U.S Attorney McDonald announces the first 15 individuals indicted with initial investigated theft of $90 million.  The DOJ anticipates hundreds more arrests.  Secretary Kennedy notes the scale of fraud is approximately 10x more than initially evaluated.
