Former President Joe Biden, who oversaw what is widely considered the “worst border crisis in U.S. history,” took to social media on Tuesday to condemn the immigration crackdown happening in Minneapolis. Biden, 83, issued a statement following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday by Border Patrol officers in the city, which occurred the same month as the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation. The former president, who is still plagued with the scandal of the autopen and the apparent coverup of his mental deterioration, said the events that have unfolded in...

U.S. Population Growth Slows Due to Historic Decline in Net International Migration January 27, 2026 Press Release Number: CB26-20 JAN. 27, 2026 — Population growth in the United States has slowed significantly with an increase of only 1.8 million, or 0.5%, between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, according to the new Vintage 2025 population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The slowdown also comes after a sizeable uptick of growth...

As described in Sean McMeekin’s To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism, where it has been adopted, communism has become politically dominant mostly at the point of a spear. In Russia and elsewhere, when Communism first took over the state, famine was an early result. By 1922, Lenin had to adopt a New Economic Policy (NEP), which allowed at least some limited access to market-driven commerce in order to suppress a possible counter-revolution. After Stalin’s death in 1953, Khruschev was appalled by the empty shelves in Soviet stores. Shortly after McMeekin’s book got off the...

A man is facing federal charges after investigators said he got on an Air France flight in Phoenix Monday despite not having a valid boarding pass and then refused to get off the flight. Court documents said Qais Ahmad Tillaw bought a ticket online around 2 p.m. for an Air France flight leaving the Valley. However, the airline canceled the boarding pass minutes later because of an “unauthorized credit card.” He showed up at Phoenix Sky Harbor, ditched his rental car at Terminal 4 and headed to the TSA security checkpoint. The FBI said he made it through security despite...

As the Liberal government finally rolls out its long-awaited “gun buyback,” the program is running headlong into the near-unprecedented situation of a majority of Canadian governments and police agencies vowing to ignore or defy it. Over the weekend, Yukon and the Northwest Territories confirmed that they would have nothing to do with a federal program to remove “assault-style” firearms from private ownership. The two territories join Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as an ever-growing list of police departments and police unions saying the program isn’t worth their time. Last week, the head of the New Brunswick Chiefs of...

A Long Beach man accused of financially supporting ISIS and constructing a homemade bomb inside his home has pleaded guilty to federal terrorism-related charges, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

"Ukraine is Gamifying the Elimination of Russians with Drones" Jake Broe** I am a United States Air Force veteran who served as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. Jan 27, 2026 8:00 p.m. EST Length 32:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KknUmByywT0 "Ukraine has struck a Russian oil refinery for the first time in 4 weeks. Ukraine's new Defense Minister has announced a competition between drone units that allows them to earn "e-points" for every successful strike on the Russians. Trump is pressuring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas to Russia in exchange for US security guarantees."

Germany currently has no capacity to deliver additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, citing limits on the country’s own military readiness, according to Deutsche Welle on January 26. Pistorius said Germany has already made a “disproportionately large contribution” by transferring more than one-third of its Patriot systems to Ukraine, leaving Berlin unable to commit further units at this stage. He explained that additional deliveries are not possible because the Bundeswehr is still waiting for replacement systems and must preserve its ability to train personnel and maintain operational readiness for Patriot air defense operations....

Sir Keir Starmer led a legal case that opened the door to hundreds of British soldiers being pursued for alleged war crimes, The Telegraph can disclose. The now Prime Minister worked free of charge alongside his close ally, Lord Hermer, now the Attorney General, and the now disgraced solicitor Phil Shiner on a human rights claim in 2007 that reshaped the law governing troops in war zones. Court documents unearthed by The Telegraph reveal Sir Keir was a lead barrister on the claim, which ultimately led the Ministry of Defence to order fresh inquiries into deaths in Iraq. It triggered...

The value of the U.S. dollar plunged Tuesday, after President Donald Trump said he was not concerned about the currency's recent drop. "I think it’s great," Trump said, speaking to reporters in Iowa, when asked if the dollar's value had declined too much. “The dollar’s doing great.” Before Trump's comments, the benchmark ICE U.S. Dollar Index was already on pace to record its worst three-day drop since Trump's April 2025 "Liberation Day" tariff rollout. After Trump’s comments, the value of the dollar as measured by the index sharply extended its slide to as much as 1.5%, putting it on track...

Bill Belichick won’t have “first ballot Hall of Famer” on his resume. If you’re shocked by this fact, you’re not alone. The NFL world was baffled by the news reported by ESPN on Tuesday evening that Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach with the Patriots, was not elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on his first appearance on the ballot. Belichick fell short of the requisite 40 votes of 50 votes from the voting committee — made up of at least one media representative from each football city and other at-large members — needed...

lhan Omar was attacked by a man who yelled that she 'should resign' before spraying an unknown liquid at the Minnesota Congresswoman. Omar, who has often feuded with Donald Trump and many other members of the conservative movement, was speaking at a town hall where she called out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The event was Omar's first since the fatal ICE shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis, as well as the massive liberal protest movement in response to ICE's presence in the city. 'DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment,' Omar said to applause...

The Department of Homeland Security is investigating whether an errant shot from Alex Pretti’s handgun — after it was taken off of him — caused Border Patrol agents to think they were being fired on, The Post has learned. As a result of the accidental discharge, which happened while the gun was in a Border agent’s hand, other officers may have believed their lives were in danger — resulting in the split-second decision to open fire on Pretti, killing him, multiple sources familiar with the investigation said. The explanation is a shift from initial claims by DHS officials, who at...

An outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus in India's West Bengal state has sparked concern in parts of Asia, with some tightening screening measures at airports. Thailand has started screening passengers at three airports that receive flights from West Bengal. Nepal has also begun screening arrivals at Kathmandu airport and other land border points with India. Two cases have been confirmed in West Bengal since December, reportedly in healthcare workers. Some 196 people who were in contact with them have been traced and tested negative for the virus, India's health ministry says. The virus can spread from animals to humans....
