Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday convened leaders from more than 60 countries to take part in the Trump administration's latest effort to quell what it calls "left wing" political terrorism, a marquee issue for Republicans heading into the midterm elections.
Watch Rubio's remarks in the video player above.
This focus comes even as studies show that there are very few reported cases of such incidents in the U.S., especially compared to historically higher levels of far-right violence.

With sweeping statements about the "alarming rise" of political violence by the left, Rubio and other U.S. officials painted a dark image of the future if the "communists and Marxists" perpetrating these supposed acts are not defeated. He urged officials in attendance — mostly from European and Latin American countries — to unite to address the issue, which he says has been a "blind spot" in counterterrorism doctrine.




"So many people in positions of power have repeatedly dismissed acts of violence and even terrorism as legitimate forms of political expression, so long as they served a left-wing cause," Rubio said in opening remarks. "A bomb planted by a neo-Nazi group was 'a nefarious and murderous act of evil.' It is, but a bomb planted by a Marxist revolutionary; well, that's just merely a tragic excess of idealism."
A report published last year by the Center for Strategic and International Studies found that left-wing terrorism attacks as of July 4, 2025, had surpassed those from the far right for the first time in more than 30 years. However, a closer look at the data reveals that the uptick reflects a very low starting level and a concurrent drop on the far right.
There was an average of 0.6 left-wing incidents annually from 1994 through 2000, compared with an average of 20.6 on the right, the report shows. From 2016 to 2024, there were an average of four per year on the left and 22.7 per year on the right. Those numbers had dropped dramatically on the right as of early July 2025, with only one incident. Meanwhile, there had been five from the left.
But the report's authors note that right-wing terrorism could easily return to elevated levels and that it is important to fight terrorism on both sides of the political spectrum.
President Donald Trump and his allies have prioritized talking points against the far left ahead of the congressional elections this November. Trump has repeatedly stated that the Democratic Party's ascendant left are communists who want to "completely destroy the traditional American way of life" and even engage in assassinations.
Vice President JD Vance has similarly called out communism as a political shift that is "something we haven't seen in the U.S." House Speaker Mike Johnson has decried "radical candidates" who are "self-described, self-identifying Marxists."
For Rubio, his worldview on this issue has been largely shaped by his own history: he is the son of Cuban immigrants who arrived in Miami in May 1956, a few years before communist leader Fidel Castro rose to power in Havana. The former Florida senator said Thursday that it was that same government's sprawling intelligence and ideological network that "helped to build the far left in our country and in our hemisphere."
Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff and main architect of the administration's immigration policy, followed Rubio's remarks, aiming to drive home the immediacy of the perceived threats he saw to American institutions coming from the left, and what response is needed in return.
"If your civilization is your home, you must defend it with the same passion and force as if an enemy intruder is inside your own house where your family lives," Miller said. "That is the level of dedication and urgency that is required."
This ideological focus has repeatedly conflated democratic socialism — which often centers on securing universal healthcare, higher taxes on the wealthy and stricter corporate regulation — with communism, under which private ownership is largely eliminated.
It has only intensified in the last year, following the election of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani to become New York City mayor and several of his proteges who won their New York City congressional primaries last month, beating out incumbents.
One of the ways the administration has started to target left-wing efforts is through sanctions. In November, the State Department designated four antifa or anti-fascist groups in Europe as foreign terrorist organizations. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in his remarks Thursday that targeting these groups and entities' financial networks is the best way to circumvent their efforts.
"We have spent decades developing the world's most sophisticated financial counterterrorism capabilities, and now we are mobilizing some of the same tools that we have deployed against terrorists abroad to confront this emerging threat here at home," he told the conference.

Trump added that he spoke to the parents of U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and that they were "devastated" after the Wednesday shooting, which also seriously injured U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe. Wolfe remains in critical condition.
The president told reporters on Air Force One Sunday night that he discussed a visit for the parents of both West Virginia National Guard members.
I said, 'When you're ready, because that's a tough thing, come to the White House. We're going to honor Sarah," he said. "And likewise with Andrew, recover or not.

Beckstrom, 20, and Wolfe, 24, were deployed to Washington, D.C. as part of Trump's crackdown on crime in bigger cities.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, faces one count of first-degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed.
U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro said that if Lakanwal is convicted, prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty. Pirro said he drove across the country to D.C. from his home in Bellingham, Washington, where he lived with his wife and five kids.
Lakanwal came to the U.S. from Afghanistan in 2021 and reportedly worked with the U.S. war effort in the country, including working with the CIA. ABC News reports he was granted asylum in the U.S. in April of this year.
In an address on Wednesday night, Trump called the shooting "an act of evil, an act of hatred and and an act of terror."
The shooting prompted the Trump administration to halt all asylum decisions and pause issuing visas for people traveling with an Afghan passport.]]> Mon, 01 Dec 2025 09:15:50 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/25060/commercial-truck-driver-license-proposals-focus-on-safety-as-american-truckers-lose-jobs-wages http://thenewstalkers.com/jeremy-in-nc/group_discuss/25060 Fri, 28 Nov 2025 08:17:16 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/25023/illegal-immigrant-who-killed-8-year-old-in-idaho-crash-had-oregon-issued-license http://thenewstalkers.com/jeremy-in-nc/group_discuss/25023 Mon, 24 Nov 2025 09:13:19 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/25006/another-illegal-immigrant-trucker-causes-fatal-crash-killing-an-american-serviceman http://thenewstalkers.com/jeremy-in-nc/group_discuss/25006 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:16:33 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/24788/honorable-mentions http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/24788
I am going to create an honor roll of good people we got to meet here, who are no longer participating. My list is not necessarily in order of importance nor is it in alphabetical order. It may not even be complete. Right now I'm only pulling names from memory and I know I am sure to forget some.





Honorable mention:

Ronin    -    I'll put him first, simply because I met him when I came here from NV and he through time became a very good debater and took an interest in issues.

Colt45 -     I came with him from NV where he was kind of a booster for my first articles over there.

Jefferson - Somebody who really had religion. A nice guy who was driven out.

Kathleen - A very nice woman whom the lefties used to gang up on. She left when her name was wrongly invoked on HD.

Muva - A black Conservative who had his race invoked in just about every conversation he took part in by the lefties here.

Color Me Free - She killed them with kindness.

mocowgirl - She was a moderate who couldn't take the nastiness of the left any longer.

Citizen Kane - Another moderate who faded away.

Drinker on the Wry - Independent minded Defense Department employee with the sharp wit who seemed to upset the left more than the right. (I know: what "right?")

TTGA    - I'm guessing a libertarian. He faded away without much notice.

Dave-2693993   - The guy who came back to the US with two women.

Galen Marvin Ross - A liberal who left the day the Mueller Investigation ended without an indictment. (He believed the lies I guess and never forgave himself)

Drakkonis - Left most recently. He told us why, didn't he.

Norman D - He blew up one day over the moderation bias. He was a good guy who had his belly full.

r.t.b. - A liberal who wanted civil debate. I never figured out if it was she or he.


I fear that Sparty and Jim have also left. Therefore:

Sparty - A Marine who said whatever he thought and didn't care about the consequences.

Just Jim - One of my best friends here. He read much more than he commented on. I think he read the NT front page in its entirety on a daily basis.


There are a few that I can't even remember their names. There are also a few who may have quit recently (I'm thinking of 2 close friends), so this is an unfinished list. We did have good people come through here. Too many of them have left.

I remember watching the horse-drawn caisson carry the casket to the Capitol, my young children at my side. It is hard to believe it’s been 20 years since President Ronald Reagan “slipped the surly bonds of Earth.”

I began my political life in the Democrat Party. But when I heard the voice, the vision, and the optimism of Ronald Reagan, I knew the Republican Party was where I belonged.
I came to revere our 40th president. When I first ran for Congress in 1988, I was invited to Washington to meet with President Reagan. I thanked him for all he did to inspire my generation to believe in our country again.
And that is exactly what Reagan did. The economic, political, and cultural turmoil of the 1970s caused many to lose faith in our country and in our founding principles. Some even believed that the Soviet Union and communism would outlive the American experiment. But President Reagan knew it was always darkest before the dawn, and he knew that it would soon be morning in America once again.
When Reagan took office, inflation rates were double-digit, unemployment was sky-high, and communism was spreading like wildfire. By the time he left office, he had helped create the most powerful economy in recorded history, Soviet communism was on its last legs, and the Cold War would soon end in American victory. He accomplished it all not by compromising conservative principles, but by standing firm on what he knew was right.
Some Republicans today view Reagan as a figure best confined to history books: revered, but no longer relevant to our current challenges. I respectfully disagree. While the specific issues we face may differ, the foundational principles of our nation remain unchanged. The principles Reagan championed — limited government, traditional values, the right to life, and a strong national defense — will endure forever as a light to the feet of future generations charting the path of our nation in the years to come.
These core American principles are the foundation upon which our nation was built. They have guided America through a civil war, two world wars, and the horrors of 9/11. They will continue to sustain us through future challenges.
Some may find it fashionable to question the relevance of Reagan’s wisdom, asking, “Don’t you know what time it is?” Political fads may come and go, but the traditional-conservative principles and ideals Reagan championed are truly timeless. They are hardwired into our American DNA, from the Founding Fathers to the present, and they will endure long after the rest of us have joined our 40th president in the next life to come.

A panel of judges appointed Nocella, who had been interim U.S. Attorney for the district, which includes Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island. It is considered one of the top federal prosecutor offices in the country, having regularly won convictions against cartel kingpins, sex traffickers and organized crime bosses.
Nocella, who was a prosecutor in the office earlier in his career, was a family court judge in Long Island before being selected by Trump in May to be interim U.S. attorney for the district. He also held several local government positions in Long Island during his career and worked in a private law practice.
Senate confirmation proceedings for Nocella and  Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton  were aborted in April after Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) vowed to block votes from taking place. Schumer said he was protesting Trump imposing political control on the Justice Department.
Attorney General Pam Bondi made Nocella and Clayton interim U.S. Attorneys. Judges in their respective jurisdictions have the authority to fill a vacant spot after an interim U.S. attorney’s four-month term expires. Clayton, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, on Aug. 18 was appointed by judges as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Bondi was at the Eastern District on Monday alongside Nocella and other Justice Department officials to announce the guilty plea of former  Sinaloa cartel boss Ismael Zambada García , also known as “El Mayo.” He said the cartel had been “decapitated” by the leader’s plea. Zambada co-founded the Sinaloa cartel along with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who is serving a life sentence after his own Eastern District conviction in 2019.

Majority Leader John Thune locked in the plan shortly after meeting with GOP senators Saturday night. It effectively pulled the plug on the confirmations standoff for now, with lawmakers saying that President Donald Trump privately told them to abandon negotiations with Democrats and head home.
“The president is fed up,” said Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), who has been in close touch with Trump.
Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer discussed the path forward on the floor before it was formalized, a person granted anonymity to disclose the private conversation said.
In a Truth Social message Saturday evening, Trump accused Schumer of "political extortion" for demanding the release of agency funding that the White House has held back in return for the swift confirmations.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) — who, like Mullin, has been involved in the negotiations — said there “was no deal” and that senators are going to “work through our [nominees] that we hadn't done yet" and then leave.
The decision came after Thune and Schumer made a final round of offers late Saturday afternoon. Republicans accused Democrats of changing their negotiation demands, which Democrats refuted, while Democrats claimed Trump foiled Senate GOP leaders' attempts to reach an agreement.
Schumer took his own swipe at Trump, saying in a news conference Saturday night that the president "threw in the towel, sent Republicans home and was unable to do the basic art of negotiating.”
"He went home with nothing," he added.
Trump held multiple calls with a key group of GOP senators on Saturday, and senior staffers for Thune were in close touch with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
“There were lots of offers being made back and forth, and there were several different times where I think both sides maybe thought there was a deal — but you’ve got to be able to close it out,” Thune said Saturday night, adding that “the asks evolved on both sides quite a bit over time.”
Shortly before senators decided to leave town, Trump not only offered the scathing critique of Schumer but also signaled to Senate Republicans that they should not accept the contours of the deal senators have been discussing — speeding up dozens of nominations in exchange for the administration unfreezing certain agency funding.
The money at the heart of the negotiations circled around foreign aid and the National Institutes of Health, according to two people granted anonymity to disclose private conversations.
Democrats had also made a separate offer that would clear the way for confirmations of a second tranche of nominees later this year in exchange for Republicans agreeing not to do another rescissions package clawing back previously approved funding.
GOP senators warned they couldn’t commit to eschewing additional rescission packages, which only require a simple majority to get through both the House and Senate, and Trump made clear on social media he was not interested in the trade.
“Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country," Trump said on Truth Social about the agency funding. "Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Instead, Thune teed up seven final nominees for confirmation votes Saturday night before the recess — starting with Jeanine Pirro, the former New York state judge and Fox News host whom Trump nominated as U.S. attorney in D.C.
Pirro was confirmed on a 50-45 party-line vote.
The decision to abandon confirmations for a larger portion of the 150-plus pending nominees represents a U-turn from just hours before when Republicans said they wanted a resolution by the end of the day. They were considering whether to cut a deal with Democrats, change the rules to confirm groups of nominees more quickly or adjourning to allow Trump to make temporary "recess appointments."
Inside a closed-door lunch, Republican senators discussed deploying the "nuclear option" — that is, changing the rules by a simple majority vote — or formally adjourning, which would let Trump make recess appointments.


"We're stuck on stupid," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), when asked about the mood.
Recess appointments were long considered a nonstarter with much of the Senate Republican conference because it would allow Trump to leapfrog the chamber's advise-and-consent role. But it came back into the conversation as frustrations mounted with the slow pace of confirmations this Congress — and Democrats' demands for allowing more Trump picks through.
Thune abandoned the idea Saturday, locking in brief “pro forma” sessions for the next month, which will prevent Trump from making recess appointments.
Republicans now expect to pursue rules changes that would cut down on the amount of time needed to confirm Trump's picks, but only after the summer break ends after Labor Day.
It’s not clear whether Republicans will pull the trigger as soon as they return in September or wait until after a Sept. 30 government funding deadline, lest the the standoff complicate spending talks. In any case, several GOP senators said they believe an eventual rules change is inevitable.


Ideas under discussion include allowing for "en bloc' votes on groups of nominees, reducing the amount of debate time for mid- and lower-level nominees or possibly getting rid of procedural votes for those lower-level nominees. Republicans are also discussing reducing the number of nominees subject to Senate confirmation.
“What Schumer has done, he’s forced this. It’s ridiculous that he’s doing this,” Mullin said. “Every action requires an equal reaction.”
Schumer, in a floor speech Saturday, defended his party's strategy on Trump's picks, saying that "historically bad nominees deserve historic levels of scrutiny."
"I saw the majority leader bring out a chart again today, comparing the situation right now to past nominees from past administrations. What he fails to mention is that we have never seen nominees as flawed, as compromised, as unqualified as we have right now," Schumer added.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Schumer's No. 2, recounted on Saturday how Republicans have held up Democratic nominees, including leaving a Supreme Court seat vacant. “When we talk about balance and fairness and reforming the Senate," he said, "it goes both ways."]]> Sun, 03 Aug 2025 08:19:41 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/23968/kamala-harris-complains-the-system-is-broken-in-stephen-colbert-interview-after-spending-1b-on-failed-presidential-campaign http://thenewstalkers.com/jeremy-in-nc/group_discuss/23968 Fri, 01 Aug 2025 07:24:12 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/23917/cvs-worker-rips-prosecutors-after-hes-acquitted-in-fatal-stabbing-of-serial-shoplifter-in-times-square http://thenewstalkers.com/jeremy-in-nc/group_discuss/23917 Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:59:47 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/23870/founder-of-right-wing-group-behind-project-2025-dies-at-83 http://thenewstalkers.com/vic-eldred/group_discuss/23870
The details surrounding Feulner’s death are unknown, with multiple outlets reporting that he died Friday. He served as president of the foundation from 1977 to 2013 and again from 2017 to 2018. He also served on the transition team of the first Trump administration. While Trump said he has “nothing to do” with the project, many of his second-term policies mirror the plans set out in the playbook, including his attacks on  diversity, equity, and inclusion . However, Feulner later endorsed Mike Pence in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.

“Ed Feulner was more than a leader—he was a visionary, a builder, and a patriot of the highest order,” Heritage President Kevin Roberts and Board of Trustees Chairman Barb Van Andel-Gaby said in a joint statement, Fox News  reported . “His unwavering love of country and his determination to safeguard the principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in human history shaped
