By all appearances, Jorge “White Wolf” Riley lived a life of service and political engagement. A Native American Army Veteran with deep roots in the Republican Party of California, he had spent decades relentlessly championing conservative values. But what began as a prayerful protest in the aftermath of the 2020 election ended with a federal indictment, brutal imprisonment, and deep personal devastation. Riley’s story presents a raw and human portrait of a man who firmly believes he stood up for his country and paid a heavy price.

Before January 6, 2021, Jorge Riley was a respected figure in California Republican politics. He served seven times as the President of the Sacramento Republican Assembly and was the Corresponding Secretary of the California Republican Assembly. A U.S. Army Infantry veteran, Riley took pride in his heritage and his commitment to the Constitution he swore to defend.

When the 2020 election results came in, Riley, like millions of Americans, knew something was profoundly wrong. Motivated by what he calls “spiritual warfare,” he and other concerned citizens began holding regular prayer rallies at the California State Capitol. He traveled to Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, to attend the rally and make his voice heard.
When chaos erupted, Riley says his military instincts kicked in. “As a soldier, when you hear explosions, you run toward them to find the danger to protect others,” he explains.

Inside the Capitol, Riley describes praying in the Rotunda with fellow demonstrators, admiring the art and history, and even helping administer aid to others injured in clashes with Capitol Police. He recalls protecting two women from being crushed during a chaotic moment inside. Photos he took that day, which he freely shared, would later be used against him in his federal indictment.

On January 19, 2021, the weaponized DOJ came for Riley. He says three helicopters circled overhead as armed agents and law enforcement swarmed his block. He was arrested while wearing fuzzy wolf slippers. Denied bail by a judge he felt was prejudiced against his Native American heritage, his nightmare was only beginning.

While incarcerated, Riley’s home was burglarized. In prison, he describes horrific mistreatment by guards. A 100% disabled veteran who had just had eye surgery and was nursing a broken collarbone, he was tackled and slammed to the ground. In an act of profound disrespect, guards forcibly cut his braid — a sacred part of his Native American identity.

“I was in pain, blind, and broken,” Riley says. “And they cut my hair, something sacred to me as a Native American.”
He describes appalling health and environmental conditions in prison: black mold, tainted drinking water, and the denial of critical medical care. The personal cost was immense. While he was locked away, his beloved dog of 17 years had to be put to sleep. Most painfully, he was separated from his newborn daughter, missing a precious year of her life. He was told by a cellmate, “You are so patriotic you are considered dangerous.”

The regime tried to break him, but Jorge’s spirit endures. Now, he and his family need the help of fellow patriots to rebuild. Please consider donating HERE to his GiveSendGo fundraiser to help them recover.

After months of unjust imprisonment, a major Supreme Court ruling — Fischer v. United States — narrowed the interpretation of the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge that had been used against hundreds of January 6 defendants, including Riley. The decision nullified his primary felony charge, proving his imprisonment was based on a misapplication of the law.

Yet, the fight is not over.

Jorge “White Wolf” Riley’s journey is not easily defined. To the radical left and the deep state, he is a criminal. To patriots, he is a political prisoner who has suffered immensely for his love of country. His story reveals the personal cost behind the headlines: a man who felt called to act, who says he tried to protect others, and who believes he’s been punished not just for his actions but for who he is.

“I stood up because I thought the country was in danger,” Riley says. “Our election was being stolen, and We tried to stop it, and It cost us everything.”

He lost his friends, his home, his career, his reputation, and precious time with his daughter. But he has not lost his faith in God or his love for his country.

Let’s show Jorge “White Wolf” Riley that patriots do not stand alone. Please give what you can to help this veteran and his family get back on their feet.

Three convicted felons have been sentenced to federal prison in North Carolina after illegally reentering the United States following deportation. 

All three men had significant criminal histories, underscoring the danger posed when repeat offenders unlawfully return to the country.

Ezequiel Andres-Antonio, 42, received a 12-month prison sentence after pleading guilty in March to reentering the United States without authorization.

He had previously been deported after an aggravated felony conviction for possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine. 

His case demonstrates how individuals with serious drug-related backgrounds attempt to defy removal orders and return despite prior convictions.

Edward Nunez, 45, was sentenced to 19 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to illegal reentry in February. 

Prosecutors noted that Nunez had been removed from the country three separate times before his most recent offense. 

His criminal record included multiple felony convictions, such as conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, as well as recent charges for cocaine and methamphetamine possession. 

Nunez’s history of violent and drug-related crimes made his unlawful reentry particularly concerning for law enforcement officials.

Martin Reyes-Hernandez, 37, was sentenced to 13 months in prison following his guilty plea in April. 

He had been deported five times and carried a lengthy criminal record that included larceny-related convictions and assault with a deadly weapon. 

Authorities emphasized that his repeated violations highlighted the risks posed by offenders who consistently disregard both immigration laws and criminal statutes.

The cases were investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prosecuted by the National Security Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina. U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan imposed the sentences. 

Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel P. Bubar stated that these prosecutions reflect the Justice Department’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws, especially against offenders who combine illegal reentry with histories of violent or drug-related crimes.

Illegal reentry after deportation is a federal offense, and penalties are heightened for individuals with aggravated felonies or multiple prior removals. 

Federal prosecutors in North Carolina have increasingly prioritized such cases, citing both the repeated violation of immigration law and the added danger when offenders return to local communities with violent backgrounds.

The sentencing of Andres-Antonio, Nunez, and Reyes-Hernandez underscores the Justice Department’s focus on protecting public safety by addressing repeat offenders who defy deportation orders and continue to commit crimes. 

By holding such individuals accountable, federal authorities aim to send a message that illegal reentry will not be tolerated, particularly when it involves those with serious criminal pasts.

Golf legend Phil Mickelson took to the social media platform X over the weekend to call out multiple House Democrats by name.

He specifically called for Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota to be deported back to Somalia.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Democrats and the establishment media have smeared the late 31-year-old by labeling him radical and irredeemably racist.

Mickelson was not having it.

On Saturday, he shared comments from Omar on his X page and slammed the far-left Democrat.

Omar, who was born in Somalia and came to the U.S. with her family in 1995, had told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, “It’s one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.”

Mickelson shared a clip of her comments and fired back.

He wrote: “Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon.”

On Sunday, Erika Kirk offered public forgiveness for her husband’s assassin in front of millions who watched his memorial service in Glendale, Arizona.

Mickelson shared a quote of that moment with his followers.

“While Ilan and Jasmine are speaking hateful rhetoric, Erika Kirk is saying this. I have no words. Amazing,” Mickelson posted.

Erika Kirk had told the country on Sunday evening, “My husband Charlie wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life.”

She added, “That young man, I forgive him.”

Also Sunday, Mickelson zeroed in on Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the Texas Democrat.

In a clip from CNN, Crockett declared she would not stop using the rhetoric that continues to fuel left-wing violence.

In reference to comparing Republicans to Adolf Hitler, Crockett told the network, “I am using that language because it is accurate language.”

Mickelson responded with another blunt takedown.

He wrote: “Jasmine and Ilhan spew hate every time they open their mouth and it is total bull***.”

Jasmine and Ilhan spew hate every time they open their mouth and it is total bullsh!t. They are the problem, certainly aren’t the solution, and they both need to go. https://t.co/nbRQ6U8adF

He concluded, “They are the problem, certainly aren’t the solution, and they both need to go.”

Since October 7, Iran-backed terrorists, Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRGC, and the Houthis have all threatened and attacked Israel. In response, Israel has launched a sweeping campaign of strategic strikes and targeted assassinations across the Middle East. Expanding far beyond Gaza and Iran, this campaign has systematically eliminated the leadership of Tehran’s most powerful proxy forces. From Hezbollah’s underground bunkers in Beirut to Houthi government offices in Yemen, Israeli precision strikes have decapitated Iran’s key regional allies and disrupted their ability to operate.

A most significant blow came against Hezbollah. On September 27, 2024, Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah was killed in Beirut when Israeli F-15I fighters dropped more than 80 bunker-busting bombs on Hezbollah’s headquarters, located 60 feet beneath the Dahieh suburb. The strike, codenamed New Order, occurred while Nasrallah was meeting senior commanders.

Israeli intelligence had tracked him for months, aided by an Iranian mole who reportedly provided his exact location. Among those killed in the operation was Ali Karaki, commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, who had been directing operations against northern Israel.

Nasrallah’s death was followed within days by the assassination of his long-groomed successor, Hashem Safieddine. On October 3, 2024, Israeli aircraft dropped roughly 73 tons of bombs on Safieddine’s underground bunker in Beirut, a strike even larger than the one that killed Nasrallah.

Safieddine, who had been positioned as Nasrallah’s replacement since 1994, represented Hezbollah’s continuity plan. By eliminating him so soon after Nasrallah, Israel deliberately dismantled the organization’s succession structure, leaving it without clear leadership for weeks.

This decapitation strategy extended further. Ibrahim Aqil, another senior Hezbollah commander, was killed in Beirut in a separate Israeli precision strike, further degrading the group’s military command. The timing of these operations was particularly striking: Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib revealed that Nasrallah had agreed to a temporary ceasefire only days before his death, suggesting Israel sought to prevent de-escalation.

Experts described Nasrallah as “the brain, the spinal cord, and the beating heart of Hezbollah,” underscoring how his death, compounded by the loss of Safieddine and other senior leaders, crippled the organization’s ability to plan, inspire, and conduct operations.

Together, these strikes created a profound leadership vacuum within Hezbollah, forcing the group to operate without direction at a critical moment.

The Houthis, another Iran-backed terrorist organization, have attacked shipping in the Red Sea, including U.S. vessels, while openly threatening to annihilate Israel and the United States. Like Hamas and Hezbollah, they soon became targets of Israel’s decapitation campaign.

On August 28, 2025, Israeli forces launched a coordinated strike in Sanaa, firing more than ten missiles in under five minutes at safe houses where senior Houthi officials had gathered to watch a televised speech by their leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The attack coincided with what was described as a “routine workshop” to evaluate government performance, ensuring the presence of top officials. Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi, Defense Minister Mohamed al-Atifi, and Chief of Staff Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari were all killed, along with nine other cabinet ministers.

Israeli media described the operation as the elimination of “the entire Houthi cabinet.” By simultaneously destroying multiple government buildings and safe houses, Israel delivered unprecedented damage to the Houthis’ political and military command.

The timing of the strike revealed sophisticated intelligence work. Israeli operatives had monitored the rebel-owned television broadcast in real time, identifying the gathering of senior leaders. Reports suggest Israeli intelligence even tracked whether Abdul-Malik al-Houthi realized his commanders were being killed during the broadcast; he showed no sign of awareness. Israeli estimates later confirmed that the prime minister, most of his ministers, and other senior figures were eliminated, an outcome the IDF assessed as a near-total collapse of the Houthis’ leadership.

The scale and symbolism of the operation were underscored by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who declared that the military had delivered an “unprecedented knockout blow.” Quoting the Biblical plagues of Egypt, he warned the Houthis, “After the plague of darkness comes the plague of the firstborn,” and then claimed Israel had carried out that warning. Analysts called the strike a serious setback for the rebels, marking a clear Israeli shift from targeting infrastructure to assassinating senior political and military leaders, a move that threatened the Houthis’ entire command structure.

The impact was immediate. The day after Israel confirmed the death of the Houthi prime minister, Iran-backed rebels stormed the offices of two United Nations agencies in Sanaa, detaining at least 11 UN personnel. The incident suggested that the Houthis, enraged and destabilized by the leadership losses, lashed out in desperation. At the same time, the operation demonstrated Israel’s ability to conduct intelligence-driven precision strikes across vast distances, Yemen lies nearly 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) from Israel, while crippling an enemy’s command structure in a single, coordinated attack.

These assassinations were part of Israel’s broader strategy, which began with lower-level officials and escalated to the top leadership of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and even elements of the Iranian IRGC. Rather than conducting isolated strikes, Israel carried out a methodical campaign designed to dismantle entire command structures, leaving its adversaries leaderless and disorganized.

This stands as one of the most extensive targeted elimination efforts in modern Middle Eastern history, fundamentally reshaping the leadership of Iran’s proxy network across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and Qatar. By coordinating operations against multiple organizations in multiple countries at once, Israel has severely weakened Iran’s ability to direct its regional proxies and has threatened the cohesion of Tehran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance.”
