Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.


Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

Q

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

I like this Limey, he is not a Bill and Hill fan.

This operation is getting interesting

Bill and Hillary Clinton hit back with a powerful letter calling out James Comer

All previous Presidents are good and part of this operation. The Navy even named a ship after him which is the highest honour.

I kept wondering why, instead of repeating the same question over and over again, why he didn't ask her if she can name one biological male, throughout all of history, that carried a fetus to term and then delivered a human infant...

Of course these hapless people can never answer a simple logical question directly. They have to quote some wordy Jabberwocky in order to eat up time... they are increasingly insane.

When global maritime flows evacuate without formal blockade, it confirms operators now price in kinetic action as near-term probable.

This is where capital, cargo, and risk converge to front-run escalation. It is not theory. It is energy in motion.

Five core implications lock:

1. Imminent precision strike window is real

No one abandons Hormuz lightly. This is the world’s most sensitive oil chokepoint. For this many ships to reposition confirms intelligence loops are flashing red. Strategic planners are now assuming the next 48–72 hours are live.

2. Insurance and compliance engines have flipped

Behind the scenes, maritime insurers, underwriters, and compliance desks are triggering “elevated threat protocols.” That only happens when confirmed threat matrices pass the tripwire. This is sovereign-level coordination, not Twitter drama.

3. Liquidity evaporation effect begins now

This freezes energy flow reflexivity. As risk heightens and flows thin, oil spikes, safe havens pump, leverage unwinds, and Bitcoin rises as censorship-exempt capital refuge. The entire global system starts rerouting around the Iranian footprint.

4. This is not a one-off evacuation

This matches the embassy exits, the regime capital flight, the BTC bid, the media dissonance, the STRATCOM drills, and the political chaos signals. Every layer of the system is now behaving as if a sovereign collision is no longer avoidable.

5. The West just blinked and moved out of the way

This withdrawal creates a vacuum. No Western commercial presence. No diplomatic bodies. No major press corps embedded. That means one thing: space has been cleared for direct, asymmetric, or proxy strike action without global human shield friction.

This is the last step before something burns.

The ships leaving are physical confirmation that the global nervous system has already made its move.

Everyone close to the blast radius has already fled.

That is never random.

DeStefano: ‘I will never tell Letitia James who bought my guns’

https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/crime-and-punishment/destefano-i-will-never-tell-letitia-james-who-bought-my-guns/

Excerpt:

Orlando, Florida resident and Indie Guns owner Lawrence Michael DeStefano wants his 50,000 New York customers to know he will never give up their names, even though New York State Attorney General Leticia James has threatened to put him in prison for more than 500 years if he doesn’t comply immediately and furnish their personal information and purchase history.

As we first reported last week, DeStefano has been held in Florida’s Orange County Jail for nearly 90 days. He could be taken to New York’s infamous Rikers Island any day.

“I will never tell Letitia James who bought my guns,” DeStefano said Sunday night from the Orange County jail. “I care about my customers. They should know I will never turn over their customer data. That’s why James went criminal, but I will never give them up. They are law abiding citizens and do not need to worry.”

DeStefano’s firm Indie Guns was one of 10 self-built arms dealers James targeted because they allegedly shipped gun parts kits to New York. The other nine firms handed over their customer data to James, DeStefano said, but he refused. Instead, he decided to fight James and her unconstitutional out-of-state requests.

Two New York State detectives accompanied ATF agents in October, when they executed search warrants of DeStefano’s home and rental properties. The ATF agents seized 68 items from DeStefano’s home—including $500,0000 worth of gold Krugerrands and $110,000 in cash—but took thousands of gun-parts kits from his rental properties. More than 100 typed pages were needed to list all of the items seized from DeStefano. Most were Polymer 80 kits.

DeStefano has sold his “self-built arms” kits to customers in all 50 states, but New York is the only state where he ever encountered legal problems.

On Nov. 12, 2025, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a letter and sent it to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, charging DeStefano with 71 state crimes, which total 521 years behind bars.

They included:

1 count of Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree
2 counts of Sale of a Criminal Firearm in the First Degree
39 counts of Criminal Sale of a Firearm in the Third Degree
28 counts of Manufacture, Transport, Disposition and Defacement of Weapons and Dangerous Appliances
1 count of Criminal Sale of a Frame or Receiver in the Second Degree
On December 5, 2025, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded with a letter sent to all Florida Sheriffs and other peace officers in the state, commanding them to arrest DeStefano, who was already in custody.

DeSantis did not respond to calls or emails seeking to know why he ordered DeStefano’s arrest.

This is certainly not the first time DeStefano and James have battled publicly.

After James won a $7.8 million civil lawsuit against him—DeStefano did not go to New York for the case—he expressed his outrage over social media.

“I had around 15,000 followers on Instagram, but a few days after my posts I had a quarter-million followers,” DeStefano said. “They quickly shut down my Instagram account.”

He expects to be extradited to New York within the coming days, but he is more concerned about his customers, who he said may be worrying about what will happen next. Said DeStefano . . .

I care about my customers. They do not need to worry. Gun privacy to me is sacrosanct, just like confession. Please tell all of my 50,000 customers in New York that they don’t have to hide anything. Please reassure them that they do not have to be scared. I will die in jail before I ever give them up.”

As Private Equity Cashes in on Autism Epidemic, Kids End Up ‘Big Losers,’ Experts Say
Private equity firms acquired more than 500 autism therapy centers in the last decade, according to a peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Pediatrics. Critics said the trend will generate profits for financiers, but will likely diminish the quality of care for children with autism.
Private equity firms acquired more than 500 U.S. autism therapy centers in the last decade, according to a peer-reviewed study published last week in JAMA Pediatrics.
The study is one of the first national assessments of private equity’s growing role in autism therapies and services, according to a press release.
The authors determined that, as of 2024, private equity firms owned 574 autism therapy centers across 42 states.
Nearly 80% of therapy center acquisitions by private equity firms happened between 2018 and 2022, coinciding with the large increase in U.S. childhood autism spectrum disorder diagnoses.

Experts Weigh in on CDC’s New HPV Vaccine Recommendation
Earlier this month, the CDC changed its recommendation for the HPV vaccine from a two or three-dose series to a single dose. Some experts commended the change, others said the shots should be taken off the schedule — and the market — entirely.
When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week reduced the number of recommended routine childhood vaccines, the agency left the controversial human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine on the schedule.

However, the CDC now advises a single dose of the HPV vaccine, instead of the previous two-dose regimen.
The new schedule recommends children receive a single dose of the HPV vaccine at age 11. The previous schedule recommended two doses of the vaccine for children ages 9-14 and three doses for teens and adults, ages 15 and up.
Merck’s Gardasil 9, intended to protect against 9 HPV strains, is the only HPV vaccine distributed in the U.S.

US FDA Requests Removal of Suicide Warnings From Weight-Loss Drugs
The U.S. health regulator on Tuesday asked drugmakers to remove label warnings about a potential risk of suicidal thoughts from widely used GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, including Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound. The request, also covering Novo’s older weight-loss drug Saxenda, follows a review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that found no evidence linking GLP-1 receptor agonists to an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior.
GLP-1 receptor agonists were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. They mimic a gut hormone that suppresses appetite, creating a feeling of fullness. The FDA had reached similar conclusion following a preliminary review in 2024, but had acknowledged at the time that it could not rule out a small risk because of limited data.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during a speech in Detroit that his administration will cease federal payments to sanctuary cities and states starting next month amid pushback over his immigration policies.
The move comes amid heightened tensions between the public and federal law enforcement officials and immigration officers over the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Sanctuary cities and states vow not to cooperate with federal immigration officials in order to protect their illegal residents from deportation.

protesters in Iran, urges ‘restraint’ (again)
The UN Secretary-General is shocked by reports of violence and excessive use of force by Iranian authorities against protesters across the country, urging restraint and the immediate restoration of communications as unrest enters its third week.

“All Iranians must be able to express their grievances peacefully and without fear,” António Guterres’ spokesperson said in a statement issued on Sunday.

“The rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in international law, must be fully respected and protected.”
The Secretary-General called on Iranian authorities to exercise maximum restraint and to refrain from unnecessary or disproportionate use of force.
He also called for steps to enable access to information, including restoring communications….

Canadian Religious Hospitals May Be Forced to Begin Euthanizing Patients
A chilling case now before the Supreme Court of British Columbia could result in religious hospitals and other faith-based facilities being forced into euthanizing their patients.

The landmark could have sweeping consequences for religious freedom and end-of-life care across Canada.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), the case carries “broad implications for religious freedom, patient choice, and the future of palliative care” nationwide.
At the center of the legal battle is whether faith-based health care institutions can be compelled by the state to provide euthanasia, officially referred to as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), even when doing so violates their moral and religious convictions.
MAiD is the Canadian government’s taxpayer-funded “assisted suicide” program that operates under the nation’s socialized healthcare system.
Hospice Granted Intervenor Status in Constitutional Challenge
Canada’s most prominent pro-life elderly care provider, the Delta Hospice Society, has been granted intervenor status in the case.
That designation allows the organization to present evidence and legal arguments in defense of euthanasia-free palliative care.
The JCCF confirmed that the trial began on Monday, January 12, 2026, and will run through February 6, 2026, in Vancouver.

DOJ Fires Prosecutor Who Refused to Pursue James Comey Case
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has fired Robert McBride, the first assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
McBride was dismissed from his post on Monday following internal disagreements over the handling of a high-profile case involving former FBI Director James Comey, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
McBride, a career prosecutor who previously served in a U.S. attorney’s office in Kentucky, had been appointed to the second-in-command role in late 2025 under Acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.
His dismissal reportedly came after he declined to take the lead on efforts to revive or re-indict Comey following the dismissal of earlier charges.
According to a report from Reuters, McBride told Justice Department officials that overseeing a renewed prosecution would be difficult while also managing the day-to-day operations of the office.
Sources also pointed to McBride’s private meetings with federal judges in the district as a contributing factor to tensions, though such meetings are not uncommon for senior prosecutors and were not, on their own, alleged to be improper.

Cuba’s Communist Leader Rejects Trump’s Call for Deal, Vows to Fight to ‘Last Drop of Blood’
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez has declared that the communist regime would defend itself “to the last drop of blood” before making a deal with the United States.
Bermúdez responded defiantly to pressure from President Donald Trump, who urged Havana to strike a deal with Washington.
Trump addressed Cuba earlier in the day in a Truth Social post, warning the regime to negotiate while it still can and signaling a dramatic shift in U.S. policy toward the island.
“They make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,” Trump wrote.
Bermúdez reacted with a series of posts on X, blaming the island’s economic collapse on U.S. sanctions rather than decades of communist mismanagement.
“Those who blame the Revolution for the severe economic shortages we suffer should hold their tongues out of shame,” Díaz-Canel wrote, according to an English translation of his Spanish-language post.
“Because they know it and acknowledge it: they are the fruit of the draconian measures of extreme strangulation that the U.S. has been applying to us for six decades and now threatens to surpass.”
In a second post, the Cuban leader escalated his rhetoric further.
“#Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation,” he wrote.
“No one dictates what we do.
“Cuba does not aggress; it is aggressed upon by the United States for 66 years, and it does not threaten; it prepares, ready to defend the Homeland to the last drop of blood.”

ICE Releases ‘Disturbing List’ of Illegal Aliens After 1500 Arrested in Minnesota
Illegal aliens with extensive and violent criminal histories are being arrested daily as federal authorities ramp up immigration enforcement in Minnesota, a long-standing sanctuary state.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), more than 1,500 illegal aliens have been taken into custody during Operation Metro Surge.
Officials describe the operation as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever conducted in the state.
Federal authorities released details on several of the offenders apprehended in recent weeks:
• Hernan Cortes-Valencia (Mexico): Convictions for child sexual assault, sexual assault-carnal abuse, and four DUIs. Ordered deported in 2016.
• Sriudorn Phaivan (Laos): Convictions include sodomy of a boy and a girl, aggravated sexual offenses, nine counts of larceny, vehicle theft, fraud, burglary, drug possession, and obstruction of justice. Ordered deported in 2018.
• Ge Yang (Laos): Convictions for rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, domestic violence by strangulation, and additional sex offenses. Ordered deported in 2012.
• Vannaleut Keomany (Laos): Convicted of two counts of attempted rape. Ordered deported in 2009.
• Tou Vang (Laos): Convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under 13 and procuring a child for prostitution. Ordered deported in 2006.

Louisiana Governor Signs Extradition Request to Prosecute Illegal California Abortionist
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed extradition paperwork Tuesday to seek the prosecution of a California abortionist accused of illegally shipping abortion pills into the state.

Landry is vowing to hold accountable those who undermine Louisiana’s pro-life laws and endanger women and unborn children.
“I am signing the extradition paperwork to bring this California doctor to justice,” Landry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Louisiana has a zero tolerance policy for those who subvert our laws, seek to hurt women, and promote abortion.”
The Republican governor added: “I know Gavin Newsom supports abortion in all its forms, but that doesn’t work in Louisiana. We are unapologetically pro-life.”

Three Planned Parenthood Centers are Closing in Pittsburgh
Some encouraging news for the cause of life is coming out of the Pittsburgh area.
A trio of Planned Parenthood offices are temporarily closing due to staffing shortages and what the abortion giant calls “political attacks.”

New Utah Bill Would Defund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz
A newly proposed bill in the Utah Legislature would stop taxpayer funding of abortion companies.
It would block abortion businesses from receiving state Medicaid reimbursements, targeting facilities like Planned Parenthood of Utah amid ongoing efforts to restrict abortion in the state.
The measure, H.B. 232, sponsored by Rep. Nicholeen Peck (R-Tooele County), would prevent reimbursement for Medicaid costs to providers performing elective abortions, while exempting hospitals and any clinic with more than $500 million in revenue. The bill includes specific carveouts allowing reimbursements for abortions in very limited abortion cases or in cases of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

Georgetown U. Hires Hamas Apologist Mehdi Hasan as Visiting Fellow
“Georgetown’s decision to bring on Hasan follows years of the journalist making polarizing and inaccurate remarks.”
Another far-left media figure is given a plum position in higher education. Shocker.
Georgetown University has enlisted Hamas apologist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan as a visiting fellow to lead a discussion series that “will explore the role of debate, media, and persuasion in our deeply polarized society.”
Georgetown’s decision to bring on Hasan follows years of the journalist making polarizing and inaccurate remarks. MSNBC canceled his show in November 2023 after he spent weeks disparaging Israel following Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack. After leaving the network, Hasan tweeted and then deleted a post arguing that the “Gaza genocide” was “worse than a lot of previous genocides – Rwanda, even the Holocaust.” As a media figure in the United Kingdom, Hasan referred to non-Muslims as “animals.”

Philly’s Fake Muslim Sheriff Threatens to Arrest ICE Agents
“The criminal in the White House would not be able to keep you from going to jail.”
Rochelle Bilal, a Muslim convert, who calls herself ‘Sheriff’, appeared alongside pro-crime Soros DA Larry Krasner, to bluster about fighting any efforts at federal immigration law enforcement.
Bilal ranted incoherently that ICE was “fake, wannabe law enforcement” and threatened “if any want to come in this city and commit a crime, you will not be able to hide, nobody will whisk you off. You don’t want this smoke, cause we will bring it to you. … The criminal in the White House would not be able to keep you from going to jail.”
Philadelphia’s actual police answer to Commissioner Kevin Bethel who was forced to issue a statement that, in response to all the messages, “the City of Philadelphia is policed by the Philadelphia Police Department, not the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office”.
“The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office is a separate entity, led by an elected official, currently Rochelle Bilal, with a mission that includes court security” and the usual glamorous stuff that sheriffs tend to do in northeastern cities like legal processes and property sales.
Personnel from the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office are much more likely to be arrested by the feds than the other way around.

Muslim Rape Gangs in Austria
Underage girls in Austria are reportedly being approached by men of Arab descent who offer them drugs and promise more in Vienna, it has been claimed, after authorities revealed the death of another 16-year-old girl in a Viennese hotel room.
As reported by Heute, investigators have concluded that the victim likely died from a drug overdose after she was discovered in a hotel near Vienna’s Stadthalle on Oct. 31 last year. Information regarding the death was only released on Thursday.
According to Austrian broadcaster ORF, sexual exploitation by a migrant gang is among the scenarios being examined by investigators.
Heute reports that seven minors under the age of 18 who were under the supervision of child and youth services died in Vienna in 2025 as a result of drug use. Many of those affected are girls from unstable family environments or living in foster or group care.
Incidents are not limited to the Austrian capital, with Salzburg also reportedly a breeding ground for gangs preying on vulnerable young girls who are plied with drugs and alcohol, and exploited.
Belinda Plattner, head of child and adolescent psychiatry in Salzburg, told ORF that the scale of youth drug consumption has sharply increased. “We are currently seeing significantly more young people who use drugs. At least in Salzburg, this has never been the case to this extent before,” she said.
She told the broadcaster’s ZIB2 news program, “Girls have no value in this male-dominated society – they are worthless girls who can be easily manipulated. They are devalued – at the same time, they are lured to be taken into these apartments. And then, as they told me, sexual assaults repeatedly occur.”
Plattner described how girls aged 14 to 16 are deliberately targeted, particularly around Salzburg’s main train station.

https://jihadwatch.org/2026/01/idf-hits-hamas-and-hezbollah-targets
After warning of imminent attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure on Monday, the IDF began striking Hezbollah and Hamas terror targets in Lebanon, the military said.
The IDF said the strikes, which were carried out north of the Litani River, stopped attempts to rebuild terrorist infrastructure in the area.
The attack comprised four strikes, and two subterranean Hezbollah structures were among the infrastructure targeted, the army said.
The initial announcement warning of the strikes, made by IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee on X/Twitter, identified locations in the towns of Kfar Hatta and Ain Al-Tinah as the targets.
Adraee said action would be taken in response to attempts by Hezbollah to reestablish its activities in the area. It did not mention that Hamas targets were among those that would be hit.
Adraee’s post on X included maps of the imminent strike sites, with the target zones shaded in red.
“We urge the residents of the buildings marked in red in the attached maps and the buildings adjacent to them: You are located near buildings used by Hezbollah, and for your safety, you are required to evacuate them immediately and stay away from them by a distance of at least 300 meters,” he said.
“Remaining in the area of the marked buildings puts you in danger.”

Islamic Republic of Iran: Regime has murdered at least 12,000 people
All this is a direct challenge to Trump, because Trump has made it so, and now he says that “help is on its way.”
Iran International’s Editorial Board has published a statement titled “The killing of 12,000 Iranians will not be buried in silence,” setting out its findings on the latest crackdown and calling for documents and testimony. The full text of the statement follows:
Iran is under a coordinated blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth. Internet cuts, crippled communications, media shutdowns, and intimidation of journalists and witnesses point to one goal: preventing a vast and historic crime from being seen.
In recent days, after receiving scattered but shocking and deeply troubling reports, Iran International has focused on verifying information to build a clearer picture of the scale of repression and the killings during the latest protests.
In a country where authorities deliberately restrict access to information, such an assessment is difficult and time-consuming – particularly because rushing to publish incomplete casualty figures risks errors in documenting events and could distort the true scale of this tragedy.

Trump cancels meetings with Islamic Republic officials and tells Iranian protesters ‘help is on its way’
A victory for common sense. Suddenly we were heading back to Obama-era negotiations with the mullahs, and they would have taken full advantage of the ignorance and naivete that prevail about their intentions in Washington to this day.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he’s cutting off the prospect of talks with Iranian officials amid a protest crackdown, telling Iranian citizens “help is on its way.”
Trump did not offer any details about what the help would entail, but it comes after the Republican president just days ago said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic, where the death toll from nationwide protests has spiked to more than 2,000, according to human rights monitors.
But Trump, with his latest message on social media, appeared to make an abrupt shift about his willingness to engage with the Iranian government.

In Syria, Israel Will Not Be Withdrawing
The Israelis are disinclined to trust Ahmed al-Sharaa, the new ruler of Syria. There are too many jihadists who were in his rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) who then became members of the Syrian army but have not shed their ideology. They are not impressed with his having traded his camouflage fatigues for a suit and tie. Al-Sharaa claims to want peace with all of Syria’s neighbors, including Israel, but we now discover that is at a price that the Jewish state is not willing to pay — the withdrawal from all the areas in Syria that the IDF seized just after Assad was deposed. After Hamas’ attacks on October 7, 2023, the IDF decided that it would set up outposts and buffer zones in some of the countries it bordered on. There are now several IDF outposts in Lebanon, between the Litani River and the Israeli border, that are likely to remain even if Hezbollah pulls out completely from the area.

Los Angeles County moves to create ‘ICE-free’ zones
“Los Angeles County will not allow its property to be used as a staging ground for violence caused by the Trump administration,” supervisor Lindsay Horvath said
he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is moving forward with an effort to create “ICE-free” zones, prohibiting immigration enforcement officers from being on county-owned spaces.
The board voted unanimously Tuesday to instruct county counsel to draft an ordinance for the board’s consideration within 30 days.
The measure, led by Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, would prohibit agents from staging, processing or operating in such areas, if it receives final approval, according to The Los Angeles Times.
“Los Angeles County will not allow its property to be used as a staging ground for violence caused by the Trump administration,” Horvath said.
Horvath said that since ICE’s deployment to Los Angeles in June, “federal immigration enforcement has too often escalated into extreme violence.”

Gorsuch draws scrutiny during transgender athlete argument
The scrutiny is heightened by Gorsuch’s track record in LGBTQ-related disputes
upreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch emerged as a focal point during oral argument on Tuesday in West Virginia v. B.P.J., a closely watched case addressing whether states may ban biological males from participating on girls’ school sports teams.

While several members of the court’s conservative bloc appeared receptive to West Virginia’s defense of its law, Gorsuch stood out for his careful and probing questioning. Unlike some of his colleagues, his questions reflected a deeper inquiry into whether Title IX’s text permits sex-separated athletic programs grounded in biological distinctions.
That line of questioning left court watchers uncertain about where Gorsuch ultimately may land. His measured approach contrasted with more ideologically charged exchanges elsewhere on the bench, reinforcing the sense that his vote could be pivotal in a closely divided case.
The scrutiny is heightened by Gorsuch’s track record in LGBTQ-related disputes. He authored the court’s 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity constitutes sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some analysts see echoes of that textualist approach in his B.P.J. questioning, even as the case arises under Title IX rather than employment law.

DC transgender activist gets 3 years in prison, ordered to repay $956K for COVID relief fraud
FBI agents arrested the activist, Ruby Corado, also the founder of the nonprofit Casa Ruby, in 2024 when Corado unexpectedly returned to the U.S. from native El Salvador.
he founder of a nonprofit that provided LGBTQ+ services in the Washington, D.C. area was sentenced Tuesday to 33 months in prison and ordered to pay $956,215 in restitution for diverting federal COVID-19 relief funds.
The founder, transgender activist Ruby Corado, was also ordered to be under two years of supervised release after the prison sentence, if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement doesn’t move to deport Corado, Judge Trevor McFadden said in the sentencing hearing.
McFadden in announcing the sentence said Corado “found an opportunity to defraud U.S. Americans,” instead of helping them, according DCNewsNow.com.
Corado, also known as Vladimir Orlando Artiga Corado, pleaded guilty July 17, 2024, to wire fraud.
Corado received more than $1.3 million from the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program for Casa Ruby.
“Instead of using the funds as promised, Corado stole over $950,000, transferred at least $150,000 to bank accounts in El Salvador, and hid it from the IRS,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. The money is to be repaid to the Small Business Administration.

US attorney’s office looking into case of Philly woman stabbed 20 times and ruled suicide under then-AG Josh Shapiro: report
The medical examiner had initially ruled that it was a homicide, but later ruled it a suicide.
The federal government is now taking a fresh look into the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg, A Philadelphia teacher woman who died after 20 stab wounds. Ten of those wounder were in the back of her neck and base of her head, but her death was ruled suicide.

According to sources that spoke to NBC10, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is interested in looking at the case. The federal government has requested documents related to her death, and obtained them last month, the outlet reported.
Greenberg, 27 at the time of her death, had 20 stab wounds to her front as well as back. The medical examiner had initially ruled that it was a homicide, but later ruled it a suicide and her death has remained that way on records since. Greenberg’s parents, however, have fought to reopen the case and have argued that she was murdered.
Greenberg was found dead by her fiance Sam Goldberg in the apartment they shared. A 10-inch blade was found sticking out of her chest. Her parents have long accused the local government and justice system of covering up a botched homicide investigation.

In January of 2025, the original medical examiner in the case signed a sworn statement that Greenberg’s death should be ruled something other than suicide. Goldberg has maintained that it was her mental illness that caused her to stab herself repeatedly to death. However, a doctor treating Greenberg before the death said she was “not suicidal” and wrote in a report that she had bruises that “suggest domestic abuse sufficient to account for her anxiety.” Additionally, one of the stab wounds was reportedly made after she would have already died.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding after being rammed with car by activist: report
Two US officials said that Ross was suffering from internal bleeding to the torso.
Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who was rammed with a vehicle driven by activist Renee Good on January 7 in Minneapolis, is reportedly suffering from internal bleeding to the torso following the attack. On the day of the attack, officials said that Ross had been taken to the hospital and released the same day.
Two US officials briefed on Ross’ medical condition told CBS News that Ross is suffering from internal bleeding. It is unclear how extensive the injury is, and the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed Ross’ injury.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters on January 7, “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released.” Ross fatally shot Good when she drove her car into Ross in an incident that was caught on camera.
It was revealed in the wake of the attack that Ross previously suffered injuries after being dragged behind a car driven by an illegal immigrant. Vice President JD Vance told reporters the day following the attack that the ICE agent “nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile.”
US Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said on Sunday that Ross has had “several threats against his life” following the attack, adding that the agent is “in a safe location. He’s recovering from those injuries, and we’re thankful that he’s recovering.”

Afghan national convicted for attempted honor killing of sister taken into custody by ICE in New York
“When we say ICE is arresting the ‘worst of the worst,’ this is exactly what we mean,” said ICE Director Todd Lyons.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested a 39-year-old Afghan national who was previously convicted of attempting to murder his teenage sister in what was described as an “honor” attack. Waheed Allah Mohammad was taken into custody on January 1 in Rochester, New York. According to ICE, the incident occurred in 2008 when Mohammed stabbed his then-19-year-old sister multiple times during a heated argument.
Mohammad reportedly called his sister a “bad Muslim girl” and accused her of disgracing the family by dressing immodestly and frequenting nightclubs and dance clubs. “This criminal illegal alien tried to kill his own sister,” said ICE Director Todd Lyons in a press release. “A court convicted him of first-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault, then sentenced him to 10 years in prison and five years of supervision. When we say ICE is arresting the ‘worst of the worst,’ this is exactly what we mean. We’re conducting targeted enforcement operations to arrest and remove convicted criminals like Mohammad who pose clear threats to their families, communities and states.”

SCOTUS appears to side with states to keep men out of women’s sports
“Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. It’s a statutory term. It must mean something,” Justice Samuel Alito said.
The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday regarding the issue of trans-identified males playing in women’s sports. Justices appeared poised to side with the states and their laws protecting women’s sports. The topic has been a heated issue is recent years, with opponents saying that allowing males into women’s sports is unfair to female athletes who have worked hard for their successes, only to be outperformed by a male with biological advantages. Even when those males do not walk away with trophies, they replace women in competition who were not able to compete because the male had taken their spot.
At the center of Tuesday’s oral arguments were two cases, West Virginia v BPJ, and Idaho’s Little v Hecox. Representing Idaho transgender student Lindsay Hecox, attorney Kathleen Hartnett argued that the law “draws a sex-based line by categorically excluding all students with the biological sex of male from women’s teams. Sex classifications like that are closely scrutinized under the equal protection clause to ensure they rest on evidence, not supposition.”

U.S. orders evacuation of Qatar military base amid possible Iran strikes: AP
The evacuation appears to be a precautionary measure and there is currently no indication of an expected Iranian attack.
The United States military has ordered some personnel to evacuate the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar amid ongoing demonstrations in Iran and President Donald Trump’s suggestion of possible military action, the Associated Press reported, citing “a U.S. official.”
Al Udeid previously came under Iranian fire in the wake of U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program last year. The scope of the evacuation remains unclear.
Qatar’s International Media Office addressed the reports on Wednesday stating that “The IMO reaffirms that the State of Qatar continues to implement all necessary measures to safeguard the security and safety of its citizens and residents as a top priority, including actions related to the protection of critical infrastructure and military facilities.”
The evacuation appears to be a precautionary measure and there is currently no indication of an expected Iranian attack, though the order comes amid major demonstrations in Tehran against the Islamic Republic and President Donald Trump has openly discussed the prospect of U.S. military intervention.

Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Gov. Tim Walz in Minnesota House
Articles accuse the governor of violating his oath and obstructing oversight.
Articles of impeachment have been filed against Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz by Republican lawmakers in the Minnesota House, escalating a growing political and legal backlash over the state’s handling of massive fraud within taxpayer-funded programs.
The impeachment effort centers on four articles accusing Walz of failing to fulfill his constitutional duties as governor by allegedly allowing widespread fraud to continue unchecked across multiple state agencies. The filing was announced this week by Republican state lawmakers ahead of the opening of the 2026 legislative session.
According to the impeachment resolution, Walz is accused of knowingly concealing or permitting the concealment of fraud, failing to enforce state laws designed to protect public funds, and interfering with or neglecting oversight responsibilities that could have stopped the abuse earlier.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating major grocery chains over allegations that they are misting organic fruits and vegetables with an antimicrobial pesticide without informing consumers.
Paxton said the practice may violate federal organic food standards and consumer expectations.
“Many Texans choose organic produce specifically to avoid harmful pesticides,” Paxton said in the press release. “It’s not only wrong for grocers to mislead consumers about chemicals being sprayed on their food — it may very well be illegal. There should be no shortcuts when it comes to food safety.”

Colorado Abandons CDC Vaccine Guidance After Emergency Board Vote
Colorado health officials last month voted to drop CDC vaccine guidance and adopt immunization recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics through an emergency rule change. The move followed a recent federal advisory vote on hepatitis B vaccination and immediately altered how the state sets vaccine requirements for children and students.
Now is the moment for communities nationwide to contact their local elected officials and speak out in support of the efforts by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to restore transparency, accountability and honest scientific debate in public health policy.
What’s happening in Colorado isn’t an isolated case. It reflects a broader, coordinated push in multiple states to sidestep federal reforms and maintain business as usual — often behind closed doors and with little public accountability.
Real science thrives on debate, not decrees. Yet too often, policies affecting children are shaped by institutions and industries with enormous financial stakes, while parents and independent experts are brushed aside.
