CBS 17’s Greg Funderburg opened his report with the voice of grief, not politics.

Funderburg reported that Paige Briggs was out of town for work when the incident happened. Her husband and their children had left home like normal, and hours later, the...

FIRST ON FOX: The Democratic National Committee filed a Supreme Court amicus brief Thursday seeking to counter the Republican Party in a major election law case this year — setting the stage for a high-stakes court clash that could determine the fate of millions of mail-in ballots nationwide. The Supreme Court agreed in November to take up the case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, which centers on states' ability to count mail-in ballots that are received within five days of an election. At issue is a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and Mississippi GOP in 2024, which seeks...

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals,...

In a press conference on Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that ICE agents had been followed "all day" and "harassed" by agitators leading up to the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis who had attempted to run over an ICE agent. Noem said that officers had been attempting "to get a car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded and assaulted and blocked in by protestors that were inciting." She later added that the agent who fired "is an experienced officer who followed his training, and we will continue to let the investigation...

Hilarious!

GOP lawmakers and pro-life groups are strongly pushing back against a suggestion by President Donald Trump Tuesday that House Republicans should be “a little flexible” during health care legislation negotiations on the Hyde Amendment, a bipartisan provision protecting tax dollars from funding abortions that has been renewed annually for the last 50 years. During the president’s remarks at a day-long House Republican policy meeting, Trump discussed the possibility of a potential health care bill that could include a “health care account” that would “let the money go directly to the people.” Then he added, “You have to be a little...

In the olden days, when people had their property confiscated, their freedom crushed, and their lives destroyed in the name of Marxism, their fate was inflicted by strongmen like Joseph Stalin. Nowadays, there is the added humiliation of being menaced with this malicious ideology by metrosexual soy boys like Zohran Mamdani and silver spoon AWFLs like his henchwoman Cea Weaver, who cannot find the inner strength to deal with being called out on her hypocrisy. The New York Post reports on Weaver, Mamdani’s Commissar for Socialized Housing: The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of...

More than 100 human skulls and remains belonging to infants have been discovered inside the home of a man accused of desecrating mausoleums and gravesites. Jonathan Gerlach, 34, faces more than 500 charges relating to the alleged offending, which allegedly began around Halloween in what authorities have described as a 'horror movie come to life.' The Pennsylvania local allegedly had collected skulls, long bones, mummified feet and decomposing torsos, storing them in his basement and a separate storage locker, Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said. 'Very simply, detectives have recovered an awful lot of bones at this point, and...

Could Minnesota break away from the United States due to a violent overthrow of the state government?

Taking advantage of a generous New York state program to aid his ailing mother, Ballal Hossain signed up a dozen family members to work as her caregivers. Over six years, they were paid $348,000 to look after the elderly woman at a Manhattan apartment. Except the mom was in Bangladesh the entire time. Incredibly, Hossain got away with the fraud by having his brother pose as their sick mother for whenever inspectors showed up, before finally being caught. He was later sentenced for grand larceny, according to prosecutors. It’s just one egregious example of a welfare program — called the...

WASHINGTON — He’s in hot watters. “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exploded at a “Jesse Watters Primetime” producer who goaded her to go on the show, accusing the host of being a “pervert.” The lefty congresswoman harked back to Fox News host Jesse Watters’ suggestion last year that she wanted to “sleep” with White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller. “He has sexualized and harassed me on his show,” she raged to producer Johnny Belisario. “He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric.” Belisario shot back: “That’s not true, Congresswoman.”...

“In love [God] predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will” (Eph. 1:4-5). Because God loves you, He adopted you as His child and grants you all the rights and privileges of family membership. Moses told Israel that God didn't choose them because of their great numbers or any inherent goodness on their part, but as an expression of God's sovereign will and sacrificial love (Deut. 7:7-8). That's true of you as well if you're a Christian. The Greek word translated “love” in Ephesians 1:4 speaks not of emotional...

Yesterday, several videos went viral of Renee Nicole Macklin Good blocking ICE from driving down a neighborhood street in Minneapolis with a vehicle during an ICE raid. In one of the videos, several ICE agents are seen approaching the vehicle where Good was sitting in the driver’s seat. Her Honda SUV was parked perpendicular to traffic. Two ICE agents approach the window of the vehicle and demand that she move. She backs up, repositions her tires so she is aiming directly at the ICE agent standing to her right, and points her vehicle at the ICE agent in front of...

A medical situation with an un-named crew member caused NASA to make the change...The agency said that it would not disclose the crew member's name or specific condition due to medical privacy.

A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the wife and son of Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was fatally shot while trying to mow down an ICE agent, has raised nearly $600,000 in less than a day. Good was shot on Wednesday during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, in which she was using her vehicle to impede the operation throughout the day. The situation turned deadly when she began to accelerate her vehicle into an officer, who fired in what appears to be a clear-cut case of self-defense. The fundraiser, organized by Mattie Weiss, is titled “Support for Renee...

Am independently owned Marriott hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota, fired an employee who doxxed ICE agents and posted their names and email addresses to Reddit. An employee of the hotel leaked surveillance photos, email addresses and names of the ICE agents after they checked in at the front desk. The leaked images and identifying information about the agents ended up in an anti-ICE Reddit thread dubbed “ICE WATCH MN.” The hotel released a statement to Fox News: “The privacy and safety of our guests is of the utmost importance to us. Upon learning of this situation last evening, we immediately investigated...

Florida’s Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd gave his opinion on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, saying, “If you do felonious assaults with two-ton weapons, expect to be shot.” Judd posted his take on the incident in which an ICE agent shot and killed a woman who allegedly drove her vehicle into him. He opened his comments by saying, “You have to be accountable for your conduct, and that starts with the mayor. Did you hear his filthy talk? Did you hear his filthy, uninformed talk yesterday?” Breitbart News reported that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) responded to the ICE-involved shooting by...
