UNHINGED Rosie O’Donnell Takes BREAK from SELF-IMPOSED EXILE — Quietly Slips Back Into the United States
February 18, 2026
After very publicly fleeing the United States in a fit of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) following President Trump’s historic 2024 victory, Rosie O’Donnell has reportedly slinked back onto American soil.
The washed-up comedian, who spent the last year in a self-imposed “exile” in Ireland, apparently couldn’t stay away from the country she spends every waking moment disparaging.
Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
In a recent interview with fellow left-wing castoff Chris Cuomo, Rosie admitted she “quietly” returned to the U.S. for a two-week stint.
Why the secrecy? According to Rosie, she wanted to see if it was “safe” to enter the country after President Trump threatened to revoke the citizenship of those who actively work against the nation’s interests.
“I was recently home for two weeks, and I did not really tell anyone,” she told Cuomo. “I just went to see my family. I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the country. I wanted to feel what it felt like. I wanted to hold my children again. And I hadn’t been home in over a year.”
When speaking to Cuomo, she went on to discuss how America “feels like a very different country” to her than when she lived here because she hasn’t “been watching the news” or keeping up with “American culture television” while living in Ireland.
“I’ve been in a place where celebrity worship does not exist,” she explained. “I’ve been in a place where there’s more balance to the news. There’s more balance to life. It’s not everyone trying to get more, more, more. It’s a very different culture. And I felt the United States in a completely different way than I ever had before I left.”
O’Donnell claimed she doesn’t “regret leaving at all” and feels she did “what I needed to do to save myself, my child and my sanity.”
“And I’m very happy that I’m not in the midst of it there because the energy that I felt while in the United States was — if I could use the most simple word I can think of — it was scary,” she added. “There’s a feeling that something is really wrong, and no one is doing anything about it.”
Rosie claims the “energy” in the U.S. is “scary,” but what she’s likely sensing is the MAGA movement’s unstoppable momentum. While Rosie was busy sipping tea in a Dublin farmhouse, President Trump has been busy:
Securing the Border
Draining the Swamp
Restoring the Economy
Apparently, a country that prioritizes its own citizens over illegal aliens and globalist agendas is “scary” to the radical left.
Rosie O’Donnell is completely crazy and she has focused her insanity entirely on her hatred of President Trump. As you know, this is nothing new, it goes back years.
She spoke to Nicolle Wallace of MSNOW last year and said that even her therapist doesn’t get it and has asked her what she is so angry about.
Republican County Commissioner Candidate’s Home in Charlotte Targeted in Horrific Drive-By Shooting — 7–10 SHOTS FIRED While Wife and Young Children Were Inside!
February 18, 2026
A Republican county commissioner candidate’s home in the Charlotte, North Carolina area was struck by multiple rounds of gunfire Monday night.
According to early reports, 7–10 shots were fired toward the Huntersville residence of Mecklenburg County Commission candidate Aaron Marin while he was inside with his wife and their two young sons, WSOC-TV reported.
Marin’s young children had been playing out in the driveway just a short time before the gunfire erupted.
Bullets ripped through the property, striking the family’s vehicles, a tree, the mailbox, and even the kids’ basketball court. When police arrived, they discovered shell casings scattered all over the driveway.
Marin released a powerful statement on the horrifying attack, noting that the shots were “intentionally directed only at our house.”
“Last night, while I am running again for County Commissioner, our home was struck by multiple gunshots. The shots were intentionally directed only at our house.
At the time, I was inside with my wife and our two young sons. By God’s grace, we are all safe and unharmed — but as a husband and father, there are no words to describe the shock of hearing gunfire directed at your home.
We are deeply shaken and stunned that something like this could happen in Huntersville — the community where we are raising our family and have always believed to be safe and strong.
The Huntersville Police Department and Crime Scene responded immediately. We are grateful for their swift response and the professionalism of our local law enforcement.
Out of respect for the ongoing investigation, we will refrain from speculation and allow law enforcement to complete their work.
Violence has no place in our community or in our political process. Differences must be resolved peacefully, through dialogue and the democratic process — not through violence.
I will not be intimidated. My commitment to serving Mecklenburg County and protecting our community remains stronger than ever.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support and prayers.”
Can you imagine the mainstream media’s reaction if this were a prominent Democrat? CNN and MSNBC would be running wall-to-wall coverage.
Politicians would be holding press conferences demanding federal investigations. But because Aaron Marin is a conservative Republican stepping up to serve his community? Crickets.
The Huntersville Police Department is currently investigating the incident as a drive-by shooting, but as of now, NO ARRESTS have been made. The thugs responsible are still roaming free.
WATCH:
HOLY CRAP!!!!
A Republican County Commissioner in Charlotte NC just had 7-10 SHOTS FIRED AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid’s basketball hoop.
Muckraker Goes Undercover in NYC: Board of Elections Worker Caught on Hidden Camera Admitting Non-Citizens REGISTER TO VOTE — “We Accept Anything That Comes Over the Counter” and “That’s Not My Job to Report Anyone”
February 18, 2026
Conservative investigative journalist Muckraker just dropped a bombshell undercover video that should terrify every American concerned about election integrity.
Posing as a Canadian green card holder (a non-citizen), Muckraker walked into the New York City Board of Elections office at 200 Varick St #10 and was told, on camera, that the office routinely accepts voter registration applications from non-citizens, will process them, and will not report the illegal attempt.
“CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: We went undercover at NYC Board of Elections posing as a non-citizen. The Board of Elections worker we spoke to admitted non-citizens register to vote and said he’d submit our (illegal) application and not report it.
‘Once in a while… we have people come in here… and they register, they weren’t a citizen…’
‘That’s not my job to report anyone.’
‘We accept anything that comes over the counter.’
How many non-citizens are registered to vote in the United States?”
The interaction is jaw-dropping.
Muckraker tells the worker outright: “I’m a green card holder from Canada.”
Instead of stopping the process or reporting it, the employee replies:
“No, no, no, no, we accept anything that comes over the counter.”
He then admits: “We have people coming here and they have legal situations, and they register, they weren’t a citizen. Boom, boom, boom.”
When asked how often it happens, the worker shrugs it off and later tells Muckraker:
“I can’t tell you what to do. If you want to fill it out, fill it out… but we accept anything that comes over the counter.”
And when directly asked if he would report the illegal registration attempt:
“No, no I’m not. No we don’t report anyone… That’s not my job to report anyone. My job is just to collect the application and put it and submit it to the Department.”
Important context: In New York, you do NOT need to show any form of ID, Social Security card, passport, or proof of citizenship to register to vote. Just sign an affidavit claiming you’re a U.S. citizen. That’s it.
Muckraker notes that under New York Election Law Section 17-106, any election officer who willfully violates provisions related to voter registration is guilty of a felony. Yet this worker was ready to process the form anyway.
Muckraker ultimately did not submit the application to avoid committing a crime, then returned later to confront the same employee outside the building. The worker immediately became evasive, refused to answer questions about how many non-citizen registrations they process.
This is not some low-level mistake. This is a government employee in America’s largest city openly admitting the system is wide open to non-citizen voting, and that he personally has no intention of stopping it.
Democrats and their media allies have spent years calling any concern about non-citizen voting a “conspiracy theory.” This video destroys that narrative in under six minutes.
How many non-citizens are currently registered to vote across the United States? How many have already cast ballots in federal, state, and local elections? How many more will be added before the next election cycle?
CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: We went undercover at NYC Board of Elections posing as a non-citizen. The Board of Elections worker we spoke to admitted non-citizens register to vote and said he’d submit our (illegal) application and not report it.
Eric Swalwell’s Anti-Cop Radicalism: From Campus Editorials to Targeting ICE Officers
February 18, 2026
When I filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate to remove Eric Swalwell from the California governor’s race for failing to meet the state’s five-year residency requirement, I expected a legal response.
Instead, Swalwell responded on Twitter by calling me a “MAGA idiot.” That insult prompted me and my great researcher, Shannon Knutsen, to take a closer look at his past — specifically, his college writings.
What we found was revealing.
On December 3, 1999, while a student at Campbell University in North Carolina, Eric Swalwell published an opinion column in the student newspaper titled “U.S. Political Prisoners: A Cry for Justice.”
Writing under the moniker “Eric Swalwell, The Radically Poetic,” he concluded the piece with a blunt demand: “America, it’s time to wake up. Free Peltier. Free Abu-Jamal. Free all political prisoners.”
Screenshot
Leonard Peltier was convicted in 1977 of murdering two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted in 1982 of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
These are not symbolic cases or minor offenses – these were brutal killings of law-enforcement officers.
Yet in his editorial, Swalwell elevated both men as “political prisoners,” casting doubt on their convictions and framing them as victims of systemic injustice.
Rather than grappling honestly with the gravity of murdering law-enforcement officers, Swalwell’s article sanctified convicted cop killers as heroic symbols of resistance.
That rhetoric is not accidental. It echoes the moral inversion perfected by 1960s and 1970s extremist movements such as the Weather Underground, which openly championed armed struggle and portrayed police officers as expendable agents of oppression.
In that worldview, the uniform itself became justification for death.
Swalwell’s column borrowed heavily from this playbook – erasing victims, sanctifying perpetrators, and laundering violence through the language of civil rights.
Fast-forward to 2026, and Swalwell’s rhetoric toward law enforcement has hardly softened.
On February 2, 2026, Swalwell posted on X regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers: “They need to lose their masks. Identification needs to come out.
Qualified immunity, gone. So they no longer think they’re invincible.” In a longer statement, he declared, “If we give them another penny, we’re just asking for the killing of another nurse named Pretty and mom named Good.”
He has also publicly suggested stripping ICE officers of their driver’s licenses and qualified immunity if he becomes governor of California.
This is not measured reform rhetoric. This is inflammatory language that portrays federal law-enforcement officers as murderers and denies them basic protections that allow them to perform dangerous jobs. It is rhetoric designed to energize the far left – and that is precisely the political calculation at work.
Eric Swalwell knows that the Democrat nominee is heavily favored in California’s governor’s race. He knows that the far left will turn out in force for the June primary.
So he is positioning himself as a radical champion of anti-ICE activism to secure that base. His college editorial was not a youthful anomaly – it was an early glimpse into a worldview that sees law enforcement primarily as oppressors.
What makes this especially jarring is that Eric Swalwell is the son of a police chief.
At a Santa Monica town hall on January 9, when asked what influenced him to choose politics as a Democrat, Swalwell responded that it was “probably to antagonize my parents.”
Gilbert came face-to-face with Swalwell during the town hall.
If true, that antagonism appears to have extended to a broader hostility toward the profession his father represented.
Instead of engaging in honest debate about law-enforcement policy, Swalwell’s rhetoric repeatedly frames officers as villains.
His demand to “Free” Peltier and Abu-Jamal in 1999, and his current push to strip ICE officers of protections and funding, share a common thread: a deep suspicion of police authority and a willingness to delegitimize those who enforce the law.
Leadership requires seriousness. It requires respect for institutions even while reforming them. It requires recognizing that police officers – whether local, state, or federal – risk their lives daily to protect the public.
I believe Eric Swalwell’s anti-police article reveals his true nature as a radical unfit to lead California. His record raises fundamental questions about his judgment and his commitment to the rule of law.
Voters deserve to know that the man seeking to be governor once publicly championed the release of men convicted of murdering law-enforcement officers – and now calls for stripping protections from federal officers doing their jobs.
California faces enormous challenges: crime, homelessness, border enforcement, economic instability. The state does not need a governor who views law enforcement through the lens of ideological grievance.
Not only that – either Swalwell is guilty of mortgage fraud in Washington, D.C., or he is ineligible to run for governor of California – he cannot have it both ways. That is the legal question before the court in my petition. But there is a larger moral question before the voters.
Does California want a governor who once called to “Free” convicted cop killers and now seeks to weaken officers enforcing federal immigration law?
I believe the answer should be no. Eric Swalwell should withdraw from the governor’s race and resign from Congress. California deserves leadership grounded in the rule of law – not radical posturing designed to win a primary.
Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Is Doing the Job That NATO and the UN Can’t
February 18, 2026

For nearly a century, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and United Nations were instituted as part of a post-World War II global arrangement, led by the United States, to maintain peace.
This peace was envisioned by its designers to last for posterity – a peace supported by multilateralism and backed by (so-called) “international law.”
This was the infamous “rules-based world order,” which was said to have surpassed or overcome the history of mankind, and the conflicts that are inevitable when dealing with humans due to our fallen nature.
The delusion stated that not only had history been transformed into a one-world order, with peace secured indefinitely, but that human nature had somehow also been changed with it.
The sinister implication was that every man’s soul was not tainted by original sin after all, a fundamentally atheistic world view that denies a core lesson of Genesis
Alas, the many decades since World War II showcased more than enough evidence that the rules-based order, and its supporting institutions like NATO and the UN, were always a folly.
Though war was declared over, still the wars came: Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Gaza. With each war, it became harder and harder to believe that history had ended.
Faith in the institutions that perpetuated this belief – most significantly, NATO and the UN – absolutely dissipated. Donald Trump’s presidencies marked the final nail in the coffin to this fantasy.
The President exposed the emperor without clothes. In its place, the President offered a new institution, one uncorrupted from the ridiculous assumptions that undergirded its predecessor institutions.
The Institute of Peace is not like the other two institutions because it does not believe war can be abolished.
It reckons with human nature realistically, not fantastically, knowing that while peace should always be the goal, it is impossible to eradicate conflict outright. Not only is it impossible, it is undesirable in some cases.
Global relations and indeed, even domestic relations – in politics, business, and through the course of everyday human interactions – are undergirded by subterranean power dynamics that are simply never going away.
The stronger powers typically have more leverage in a negotiation, and therefore, more often than not, win.
The David versus Goliath scenario, the notable exception, provides only further support for the rule. And that is a rule that is not going away anytime soon.
Rather than run away from the truth, the President and his administration have accepted it in a sober and statesmanlike manner. Knowing that global relations will not automatically be peaceful without a backing arbiter or executive to guarantee such stability is in some ways freeing.
It puts one at an advantage over those, like previous recent administrations, who profess in the whimsical dogmas of the globalist creed.
Sobriety and realism, however harsh the truths they might uncover, are always preferable to groundless hope. The idea that war was eradicated once and for all following the defeat of Nazi Germany begs a deeper question of why?
What exactly changed over the intervening eighty years? Did human nature really change? Or did its political elites, high off the laurels of victory, begin mistakenly internalizing a temporary condition – however protracted the post-war order was – and begin thinking that that condition would apply to all peoples for all time from here on out?
In any event, to the extent that anyone still believed in the latter foolishness, President Trump, Marco Rubio, and others in his administration have gently walked the global dogmatists back from the edge of the cliff.
The President’s remarks in this year’s Davos conference were the ultimate signal of America shaking its European counterparts brutally awake of their illusion.
Marco Rubio’s follow-up remarks a month later, in Munich, further underscored that point: the post-war order was observed as a relic of the twentieth century. The twenty-first century presents newfound challenges. Time to get a grip.
With the rapid rise of adversaries like China and Russia (which ironically would not have been possible, or at least severely complicated, without the disastrous hubris of the elite class that subscribed to the end of history arguments – and through those arguments, created policy out of them like admitting China to the World Trade Organization), America must adapt to an evolving world order, one based on realpolitik not globalism, if it is to maintain its competitive edge.
And given how competitive the modern world is, it may not be enough that America remains “simply another competitor.” Thus, the sooner it accepts the changed world situation, the better.
It is plausible that the world has been this way for quite some time now, but global elites are only just starting to wake up.
Richard Nixon’s détente with the Soviets and Chinese in the early 1970s should have, nearly a half century ago, portended what was to follow in the coming decades of geopolitical relations to the ruling classes of the West.
However, the history of the last thirty years, with failed escapade after failed escapade in the Middle East, and then, more recently, in Eastern Europe, should have really opened everyone’s eyes.
It is shocking that nobody really began noticing the situation until Donald Trump burst onto the political scene a decade ago and began seriously probing the efficacy of these institutions.
It is even more of a shock that it took another full decade before meaningful policy was implemented to begin reversing the damage.
But here we are. And luckily now some progress is finally being made. Concurrent with the peace deals in Gaza and the Ukraine must be a guarantee for a stronger arbiter in global relations.
The President has enunciated what intuitive onlookers have known for a while now: real peace is not possible without a strong America willing to lay down the terms of the agreement.
Without a robust United States orchestrating everything, the rest of the world has little to back up their words. As the President pithily puts it: “the world will start killing itself.”
The Greenland test run was a perfect example of NATO’s utter impotence: the United States, if it so wanted, could have well taken the “piece of ice,” as the President humorously put it.
The symbolic chest-beats to military action, made by some of NATO’s members, were only that: symbolic. In a negotiation, such acts go nowhere if they cannot be supported by real strength. And so, the performance falters.
Ukraine is another great example: “an attack on one is an attack on all” falls flat when the “all” lack the military, financial, and political means to challenge the aggressor. Hence, the Ukraine war of the last half-decade.
That is not something to despair in, but to recognize as a fact of life. Beyond that, it is a fact of human nature. War is inevitable. Understanding those facts, and taking on the truth head-on, is the quickest way to peaceful resolution.
That is at the core of the President’s new “Institute of Peace,” an organization that dispenses with every false assumption that made NATO and the UN a complete and total failure.
Recognizing these failures goes a long way towards discovering the truth. And with that truth, the chance for an abiding peace, which can only be possible through recognition of the power dynamics that govern men in the real world, not a made-up one.
