Iran is systematically crippling Starlink, the satellite internet service said to be almost impossible to jam. Military-grade GPS jammers deployed since January 8 have cut satellite internet performance by as much as 80% in parts of the country, according toAmir Rashidi, director of digital rights at the Miaan Group, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on Iranian internet censorship and digital rights.

Former CNN host Don Lemon unloaded on Stephen A. Smith for being ignorant and “cozying up” to white people. While he claimed he is not one to criticize black people, Smith left him no choice after the radio host and sports analyst delivered his take on last week’s ICE agent shooting of a Minnesota activist. “I try not to criticize, especially black men, or just black people in general, you know, because we get so much sh*t. The rules are different for us,” Lemon said on his podcast show. “But Stephen A. Smith goes off and talks about sh*t that...

The Somali fraud scandal has captured Americans’ imaginations. The story is almost unbelievable: Somalis in Minnesota allegedly set up fraudulent housing services, meal programs, and autism-therapy offerings, which formed part of a “web” that stole “billions of dollars in taxpayer money.” Some fraudulently obtained funds, according to federal law enforcement sources, ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab terrorists.Meantime, on the West Coast, another pattern of fraud has taken root: foreign criminals have developed sophisticated schemes to cheat and steal from unsuspecting Americans. I spoke with a veteran blue-city police detective, who has spent two decades investigating serious crimes, in...

WASHINGTON, DC – Iranians have taken to the streets to protest the collapse of the country’s currency and surging inflation, with many calling for an end to the Islamic Republic. Yet the government’s response has differed from earlier waves of unrest. Whereas Iran’s rulers were quick to suppress the 2009 Green Movement and the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, the security forces were slow to react as the current protests intensified. Rather than brutally cracking down, President Masoud Pezeshkian initially responded with belt-tightening reforms to free up funds for subsidies to the poor. But this stopgap didn’t hold. While the...

President Donald Trump has renewed his push for the United States to acquire Greenland from Denmark, again prompting gasps and outrage from elected Democrats and European elites. But the historical record and geopolitical reality suggest that acquiring the island territory would be not only fair compensation for American involvement in Europe since the start of World War II, but also a critical check against encroaching Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic.Trump’s latest quip that Greenland’s defense is “two dog sleds” has the global liberal media tripping over itself to “fact-check” this obvious hyperbole and declare Trump an evil imperialist....

California is once again at the center of a high-stakes debate over taxes, population trends and the future of the state’s economy, as a prominent tech investor warns that a new wave of residents could leave within the next year. The warning lands at a moment when official data shows modest population growth returning, even as moving companies and demographers track persistent outflows to other states. The question is not whether people are leaving, but whether policy choices in the coming months will turn a steady trickle into the kind of large-scale relocation that reshapes communities and tax bases. The...

Tiffany Burress, the wife of former New York Giants and Jets star Plaxico Burress, has officially launched her campaign for Congress as a Republican in New Jersey’s 9th District. Burress announced her candidacy in a press release Monday, touting her credentials as “an attorney, businesswoman, and community leader.“ The political newcomer also cast the Democratic incumbent, U.S. Rep. Nellie Pou, as a “disconnected” Washington insider. France: French farmers dump potatoes outside parliament to protest EU-Mercosur deal “I built my career outside of politics, in the private sector. That real-world experience is exactly what this district needs in Washington,” Burress said....

The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for immigrants from Somalia, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a post on X. "Somali nationals with TPS are now required to leave the United States by March 17, 2026," a post from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said. Temporary protected status is provided to immigrants from some countries facing safety conditions, such as environmental disasters and armed conflict. Other countries currently covered include Lebanon, El Salvador and Yemen.

Have you ever “taken to the streets” over any issue? Marched in a protest? Chanted whatever some weirdo ordered you to repeat? Maybe, but probably not. The only protests or marches I’ve ever attended were one against war a friend wanted to go to and he didn’t want to drive to DC alone (plus, I’d never been to DC at that point), one I got extra credit for in college involving newspaper strike, and one that was an annual even to “protest” pot laws because we went to meet chicks and get stoned in a crowd – mostly the novelty...

Marketplace plans from the Affordable Care Act no longer feel very affordable to many people, because Congress did not extend a package of enhanced subsidies that expired at the end of 2025. Last week, the House did pass legislation to extend the expired subsidies, and negotiations have moved to the Senate. Without a deal, an estimated 4.8 million will go without coverage this year. But even without a health plan, people will still need medical care. Many, like the Sorys, have been thinking through their plan B to maintain their health. The Sorys both lost jobs in November, within days...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom acknowledged that the state’s proposed wealth tax is bad economics. Newsom said he feels vindicated in opposing the proposed wealth tax after reports showed some of California’s wealthiest residents moving money and businesses out of the state, warning the measure would damage the economy and drive away investment. “This is my fear,” Newsom said in a Politico interview on Monday. “It’s just what I warned against. It’s happening.” “The evidence is in. The impacts are very real — not just substantive economic impacts in terms of the revenue, but start-ups, the indirect impacts of … people...

CUBA has been overwhelmed by a disease known as “the virus” – leaving hospitals on the verge of collapse as the Communist regime faces accusations of a cover-up. High fevers, red spots, peeling skin, swollen joints, vomiting and diarrhoea are among symptoms crippling the island’s population – but Cubans have no idea what they are suffering from. his week the Canadian government announced health screenings and quarantine of up to seven days for those coming back from the country. And in December, Spain told its citizens to stay away from Cuba due to a “serious epidemic”. Known just as “the...

NASA has announced that America is now just days away from a historic return to the moon for the first time in two generations. The space agency revealed that the earliest Artemis II, the first manned mission to the moon since 1972, will set off on this flight is February 6. NASA officials noted that the official launch window for Artemis II will remain open from January 31 to February 14, and several alternate dates for the launch have also been picked out. Artemis II can't launch on just any day. The timing will depend on precise orbital mechanics, such...

United Parcel Service has slashed 48,000 jobs and shuttered 93 facilities in the first nine months of 2025, marking what CEO Carol Tomé called the company's most significant strategic shift in its 118-year history. This overhaul ditches low-margin e-commerce volumes, especially from Amazon, in favor of higher-profit areas like healthcare and small business shipping, fueled by a $9 billion automation investment and a planned 50% cut in Amazon deliveries by mid-2026.

Even before the 2026 New Mexico Legislative Session officially begins, far-left lawmakers have moved to prefile what gun-rights advocates are calling the most sweeping anti-firearms proposal in state history. According to a press release issued this week by the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, an omnibus gun control measure has been prefiled in the Senate, sponsored by Democrat Sen. Bill O’Malley, Sen. Peter Wirth, Sen. Heather Berghmans, and Rep. Andrea Romero. Its contents are already drawing sharp backlash from Second Amendment supporters across the state. Zac Fort, legislative director for NMSSA, warned that the proposal represents a dramatic escalation in...
