United States Secret Service officers reportedly arrested an illegal migrant outside the White House on Thursday after he was allegedly found inside a stolen vehicle carrying multiple firearms and threatening to kill President Donald Trump.

The officers approached the suspect Thursday evening after spotting him "acting suspicious in his car while it was parked on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C.," the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News.

The officers said the unidentified migrant, who was originally from Venezuela, told them he heard voices in his head that told him to travel to Washington, D.C., and kill the president. 

The migrant was found with three firearms, including an AR-15-style rifle and two handguns, along with dozens of rounds of ammunition, the outlet reported.

Multiculturalism Must Die

The war over American inheritance.

Cole Ellison | November 5, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Those words were written by Francis Bellamy in 1892 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s voyage. 134 years after Bellamy wrote these words, this pledge, along with Christopher Columbus, seem almost entirely abandoned.

But that’s not all—Americans have begun to abandon the idea of America, and when you abandon an idea, another will force its way into that space. So, what is filling the void, and how do Americans reclaim what so many have foolishly given up?

America is the culmination of thousands of years of passed-down principles, virtues, traditions, and prejudices that have shaped what modern American minds call Western Civilization. To track these ideas down, it would be a travesty to start anywhere other than Greece—a people who recognized the Kosmos as orderly, believing them to be knowable through rational reasoning. The civilization that took the veil off of the purely mythical and began the journey to science, philosophy, and objective truth. This treasure was the Logos. Yet a radical concept emerged from the greatest thinkers of this time, asserting that human beings possess the capacity for self-government. People are capable of making moral choices and having a hand in their destiny. This is the Telos. And then the principle that a higher objective moral order exists in human nature and that this was separate from any government or any king. This is natural law.

One of the defenders of this inheritance was the Roman Empire. Roman jurisprudence and truly landmark documents like the Magna Carta advanced the ideas that the people graciously inherited. The principle that laws must apply equally to all, including rulers, was a gift worth defending. The recognition that human nature is fundamentally flawed and easily corrupted is another stepping stone towards the higher good. The idea of checks and balances can be traced to the Roman Republic, and Montesquieu could never have perfected it without his inheritance being closely guarded and passed down. The idea that to have a flourishing economy, personal liberty, and independence from the government, you needed to be able to own property and your own labor is a cornerstone upon which our nation today rests. The mere idea that government power and legitimacy come strictly from the will and consent of the citizens rather than by conquest of a people is foundational to all of the West.

These ideas were developed and guarded by great men who poured out their blood and the blood of their enemies to pass this inheritance to those alive today. Yet all of these systems and ideas were ultimately found lacking, and the West was not yet complete.

Imago Dei. Image of God. This is the rock upon which the West could be forged into the future. The foundational idea that asserts the individual man is created in the sight of God and possesses a moral equality that transcends all worldly governments and institutions.

The classical virtues that built the West rested upon the pillars of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.

Unlike all other cultures throughout history, the West did not view history as an endless repeating cycle. Instead, it viewed it as moving towards a purpose and pushed forward toward moral, social, and cultural progress.

America did not invent these ideas, and societies have rediscovered them over time. History becomes lost to time, civilizations conquer problems, and they cease to be issues. Yet issues never vanish completely. And once they rear their ugly head, a new civilization must delve into the chaos. It must rediscover the ideas that saved the ones who came before or join their ancestors in history.

So could Aristotle and Plato have been merely following their ancestral prejudices to the conclusions they came to on the structure of the kosmos? Plato argued there was a single supreme form of Good or cosmic architect of the kosmos. Aristotle mathematically deduced that the universe required an “unmoved mover,” a first cause that started everything. These ideas were very different from the polytheistic beliefs of the Greeks.

It is time to recover the knowledge of our ancestors and to reestablish the truths once held as self-evident. If Aristotle and Plato, in the face of adversity, came to these conclusions, then there is no excuse for Americans today not to do the same.

The American ethos and culture is that of a warrior and highly religious people. Steeped in Christendom and ancient principles, the idea that formed the West cultivated a country like no other seen before. These people were aware of their shared history and knew the consequences of their failure when they began the fight for their independence. This American spirit led Francis Scott Key to say, “O say can you see.” It is the spirit that led Americans across the Great Plains into the wilderness with nothing more than belief in a higher purpose worth pursuing. The same spirit that placed a man on the moon. The American spirit is more than just an idea, though. It is that inheritance that has been passed down from all of these civilizations, from the West, and from Christendom. It is shared principles, morals, history, and ancestry, and when understood as such, it is a rightly ordered spirit. Abandoning any of these four ideas leads to a chaotic, disordered spirit. It leads to people who believe that being American is nothing more than geography, history, or ancestry.

Today, Americans see people who, in large part, have abandoned either of these four ideas or believe there is nothing worth fighting for… and that anybody can be American. This idea is deeply damaging and has nearly cost Americans everything their ancestors built. They have forgotten what the treasures in our society are, and now they are being plundered. It is time to wake up and realize multiculturalism’s failure.

A nation cannot survive for long while importing millions of people who have no connection to the traditions, principles, and history that formed it. When mass legal and illegal immigration transforms a country’s national character, undermines assimilation, and weakens its connection to its own inheritance, the nation will falter. 

America is losing its shared principles, morals, history, and ancestry to conquerors marching in the front gates. Just as destructive as the unassimilated migrants are those who lie about this great nation to subvert the spirit of this country. A country that abandons the civilization that formed it cannot expect to preserve its character when the people shaping its future no longer share that inheritance.

It is time to accept the West’s inheritance, reunite the culture under the shared history our ancestors fought for, which goes back over 4,000 years, and fight for future generations of Americans.

This post is an early recap of the results on 'Election Day'.

 

Democrats win control of House and Senate in rout that reorders Washington power balance

Democrat Roy Cooper won his North Carolina Senate race, picking up the GOP-held seat for the party in its bid to win control of the chamber.

By Ben Whedon justthenews.com 11-4-26

The Democrats decidedly won the Senate on Tuesday evening, sweeping competitive contests and pulling off a string of upsets in formerly solid Republican bastions as they marched toward realigning the power structure in Washington by taking full control of Congress.

As of press time, the Associated Press projects the party to claim at least 53 seats in the upper chamber. The wire service early Wednesday declared Democrats won the House.

Democrats gained at least seven Senate seats, to give them a 53-41majority.

Those wins included flips in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine and Texas, while a Democratic incumbent held his ground in Georgia. The Democratic Party's wins in those states seem to suggest major cracks in the formerly solid Republican South. 

Maine marked the latest win for Democrats, with Troy Jackson denying incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins a sixth term. 

In Minnesota, Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan defeated Republican challenger Michelle Tafoya. Though the contest had been expected to be close, the Associated Press was able to call the race just after midnight and Flanagan boasted a 10.1% lead.

Iowa Democratic Senate nominee Josh Turek defeated GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson in a tight contest on Tuesday. The Associated Press called the race at 11:35 p.m., at which time Turek held 50.8% of the vote.

Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton became the latest Democrat to knock off a Republican senator, defeating Kansas GOP Sen. Roger Marshall in an upset.

The Associated Press called the race at 11:24 p.m.

Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, reclaimed a seat in the upper chamber on Tuesday, ousting Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, who had sought a full term after he was appointed to replace Vice President JD Vance.

The Associated Press called the race for Brown at 11:10 p.m.

Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico defeated state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the state's Senate race.

The Associated Press called the race for Talarico at 11:03 p.m.

Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews pulled off an upset against Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C.

The Associated Press called the race at 10:39 p.m. at which time she led with 50.6% of the vote.

Gov. Henry McMaster, R-S.C., appointed Graham to complete the term of her late brother. She quickly opted to seek a full term and defeated Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., in a special primary.

GOP Rep. Andy Barr on Tuesday evening won election to Kentucky's open Senate seat and will replace the retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

The Associated Press called the race at 9:16 p.m., at which time he led with 53.8% of the vote.

His win marked the fourth victory for a Republican in an upper chamber contest on Tuesday evening and followed those of Ashley Moody in Florida, Harriet Hageman in Wyoming, Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia, and Kevin Hern in Oklahoma.

Democrats won at 11 contests, including Democrat Roy Cooper winning in North Carolina, picking up the first Senate seat for the party in their bid to win control of the chamber.

The Senate races in Alaska and Michigan were still undecided as of early Wednesday morning. 

Wyoming GOP Sen. Harriet Hageman easily won reelection on Tuesday, notching a clear win in a night that has seen Democrats put up fierce fights in red states.

The Associated Press called the race at 9 p.m., before any results came in.

West Virginia GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito won reelection on Tuesday, marking the second Republican win in an upper chamber contest of the night.

The Associated Press called the race in her favor at 8:52 p.m., at which time she boasted 55.9%. The result was hardly a surprise as West Virginia has been a Republican bastion for decades. 

But Capito's win may give Republicans some breathing room as the GOP struggles nationwide. As of press time, the GOP has only claimed victory in two of the Senate races, compared to 10 called for the Democrats.

Florida GOP Sen. Ashley Moody won a full term in the Senate on Tuesday evening, defeating progressive candidate Angie Nixon.

The Associated Press called the race for Moody at 8:34 p.m., at which time she led with 50.8% of the vote.

The Florida Republican received her appointment to the seat after now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio left the post to work in the administration.

Moody's win marked the first race call in favor of the Republicans in the battle for the upper chamber. Democrats had swept the earlier contests, notching clear wins in competitive seats like Georgia, New Hampshire, and North Carolina.

Earlier in the night, Cooper defeated Michael Whatley for the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, according to the Associated Press. Cooper is a former governor, and Whatley is a former Republican National Committee chairman. 

In New Hampshire, Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas defeated former GOP Sen. Jon Sununu in their race for the open seat of retiring Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, according to the Associated Press. Pappas will be Congress' first openly gay senator.

Democrats also won Senate contests in Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia.

Of the competitive contests, however, only Georgia broke quickly for the Democrats.

The Associated Press called the race for incumbent Democrat Sen. John Ossoff at 7:55 p.m.

Ossoff defeated GOP Rep. Mike Collins, in the battleground state, though he maintained a healthy lead throughout most of the campaign cycle. 

Virginia's Senate contest marked the first concluded race in that chamber of the evening. The Associated Press called the race for Democrat Sen. Mark Warner before any votes were counted.

Likewise, the Associated Press called Senate races for the Democrats in Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Colorado before any results came in.

Tuesday evening will see voters decide control of the House and Senate. This is a developing story, check back for more updates as the Associated Press makes race calls.
