President Donald Trump vowed that the United States will retaliate against ISIS after the killing of three U.S. personnel in Syria.

“There are millions that are being shoved into our country by basically the corporate world wanting to abuse H-1B visas and the diversity visas to pump this country full of people who don’t want to assimilate. We should pause, and then we should reset all of those issues,” Chip Roy told Will Cain on his […] The post Rep. Roy Calls for a Pause in Immigration appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump vowed that the United States would “retaliate” after news broke on Saturday that two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter — also American — had been killed in Syria by ISIS. Trump responded to the news in a post first shared via his Truth Social platform, warning the perpetrators that the Syrian government shared the outrage felt by the United States. “We mourn the loss of three Great American Patriots in Syria, two soldiers, and one Civilian Interpreter,” Trump posted. “Likewise, we pray for the three injured soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well.” “This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued. Outside the White House, Trump promised retribution as he spoke with reporters before leaving for the annual Army-Navy football game. WATCH: ?

We still have three wounded that seem to be doing pretty well. But we mourn the loss, these are great — these are three great people, and just a terrible thing.” “Syria, by the way, was fighting along with us. The president, the new president of Syria, as they told me … is devastated by what happened. This was an ISIS attack on us and Syria,” he continued. “We pray for them, and their parents, and their loved ones, very, very sad … and we WILL retaliate.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships The president’s response came after Pentagon spokesman and Army Ranger veteran Sean Parnell shared a few details about the attack — holding back the identities of those killed in order to allow for their loved ones to be notified. “Today in Palmyra, Syria, two United States Army soldiers and one civilian U.S. interpreter were killed, and three were wounded. The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement,” Parnell posted via X. “Their mission was in support of on-going counter-ISIS / counter-terrorism operations in the region.” “The soldiers’ names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification. This attack is currently under active investigation,” he added. War Secretary Pete Hegseth responded as well, warning as Trump had that the United States would ensure that the guilty party had already faced lethal consequences for the attack. “The savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces,” Hegseth declared in a follow-up post. “Let it be known, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.”

The last several years have been difficult for Celine Dion. The iconic singer lost her husband, René Angélil, after more than 20 years of marriage. In 2022, she disclosed she’d been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, which ultimately led to the cancellation of her Courage World Tour. During this time, she was also raising her three sons, René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy. But through all of her strife, Celine continued to look on the bright side of life. She made her triumphant return to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Celine’s also been a bit more active on social media, much to the delight of fans. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Céline Dion (@celinedion) Celine Dion Posted a Hilarious Instagram Post Celine Dion shared photos of her being pushed around backstage on a cart. She’s smiling and laughing and looks like she’s having the time of her life. “Just another day on the job… who says you can’t have fun backstage?!” She captioned the photo. Her fans loved seeing Celine happy and laughed right along with her. “Gosh she’s so hilarious! I love her so much!” One wrote. “Working with you, makes every job definitely fun,” another person shared. “They are so funny toghether And I will not Change my mind,” a comment reads. Of course, there are always the people in the comment section who want to criticize, like this person. “Why can’t team Celine post updates on Celine’s health and overall life? These old posts are ridiculous. Do better! “ They wrote. But a true Celine Dion fan clapped back and put them right back in their place. “What? What else do you want? Daily check ups? She already did and considering we saw her in several outings and Thanksgiving messages, she is fine. I love thes old pict, keep them coming!” We agree. Celine deserves all the good in the world, and if these pics make her happy, we love seeing them. This story’s featured image is by MEGA/GC Images.

WASHINGTON—Two California Democrats could run for president in 2028: Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Republican operatives must be thinking: Bring it on. Under Newsom, California’s image has become less golden than it used to be. The high cost of living has taken a toll. The IRS announced last month that California is the state experiencing the highest net loss of taxpayers, with one taxpayer leaving every 1 minute and 44 seconds. Nearly 39,000 Californians moved to Nevada last year. Hope that the Silver State newbies don’t bring their progressive politics with them. And good luck with that. The entertainment industry has been decamping from Hollywood for some time, but the decline of greater Los Angeles as an industry town accelerated after the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America strikes of 2023. On-location production in the area fell more than 22% from January through March 2025, according to FilmLA, which tracks filming in Southern California. California’s loss could be good for Nevada. Actor Mark Wahlberg and others have been working to turn the Las Vegas area into a more affordable home for the industry, a Hollywood 2.0. The Nevada Legislature, however, has rejected rich transferable tax credits as a carrot to create film studios in southern Nevada. Much of Silicon Valley’s Big Tech has decamped to the Lone Star State because of its lower taxes and less restrictive regulations. In 2021, Elon Musk moved Tesla’s headquarters to Texas. In 2024, Musk moved the headquarters for X (formerly Twitter) from San Francisco, and his personal home and other operations in Silicon Valley, to Texas. I’ll never forget interviewing former eBay CEO Meg Whitman when she was running for California governor in 2010. I worked for the San Francisco Chronicle at the time. Whitman told me how eBay executives had begun to talk about where they would rebuild if eBay had to start all over again. Whitman’s answer was not California. “Probably Texas,” she offered. Energy companies fled. Chevron left San Ramon, California, for Houston. California doesn’t look like a can-do state anymore. Consider the Southland’s inability to prevent fires from scorching Pacific Palisades and Altadena, as city, county and state governments seemed more interested in imposing their politics on the public than providing essential services and infrastructure. With all that failure, hypocrisy doesn’t look so bad. Republican rivals may not even bring up Governor Handsome’s infamous COVID-19 dinner with fellow big shots at the tony French Laundry in Napa, even as his team was lecturing Californians that they should not to have Thanksgiving dinners with members of more than three households. So run, Gavin, run. As for Harris, well, she will have to answer for her erstwhile boss, former President Joe Biden, who opened the border to millions of unvetted immigrants without any inkling of the likely consequences. Harris famously made a verbal blunder in October 2024, when the ladies of “The View” asked what she might have done differently than Biden and she answered, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” California Democrat political consultant Darry Sragow wonders if, after losing the world’s biggest prize, Harris might turn out “to be a very different candidate than she’s been” if she does run for the White House again. Sragow warns against assuming Harris did not learn from 2024’s missteps. As for Newsom, Sragow offered that voters have been “waiting for someone to go toe to toe with Donald Trump,” and the slick-haired Democrat could be the man. Newsom has served as anti-Trumpers’ favorite troll. Sragow notes that while the rest of America may see California as cray-cray (not his words), events can change everything. Besides, Californians enjoy a balmy climate that New Yorkers and Washingtonians envy. The economic climate, I would counter, is another issue.
