    Trump administration officials are set to meet with Danish officials about Greenland on Wednesday, diplomatic sources tell CBS News. The meeting, which has not been officially announced, comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress last week that President Trump is interested in purchasing the Danish territory. The White House also said Tuesday officials are discussing a wide range of options for acquiring Greenland, including using the U.S. military to take it by force. While Rubio had downplayed the threat of military force in his remarks to reporters, Mr. Trump doubled down on the possibility Friday, saying, "I would...

    A Ukrainian family in California says Child Welfare removed their teenage daughter from their home and placed them on the child abuse registry after they declined to “affirm” her transgender identity. Speaking to Reduxx under the condition of anonymity, the parents say the removal followed a report filed by their daughter’s psychiatrist without their knowledge. The mother, who will be referred to as Ellie, told Reduxx that a social worker from Shasta County Child Welfare Services arrived at the family’s home on June 3, 2024, without prior notice. According to Ellie, the worker accused the parents of emotional abuse and...

    A loony, anti-ICE protester was left with a nasty taste in her mouth last week after deciding to harass federal agents following last week’s ICE self-defense shooting in Minneapolis. As The Gateway Pundit reported, chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis. Video posted to X shows the moment an unhinged female was shot as she carried out her act of violence. Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as Good accelerated. However, something humorous and satisfying has emerged from this unfortunate...

    Ibrahima Diop, the finance boss at Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), has been placed on administrative leave, Alpha News has learned. Alpha News has reported extensively on Diop and questionable contracts with Frontier Transportation Services, hired by MPS to transport Homeless and Highly Mobile (HHM) students in passenger vans. Additionally, another transportation company under contract with the district was filmed dropping off children at the now-closed Quality “Learing” Center — a moment many observers believe was staged to make the site appear active. [snip] An article from transportation consultant Rob Carpenter first raised questions about MEISA, noting its apparent connections to...

    Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman appears to have donated $10,000 to a fundraiser in support of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. William Ackman is listed as the top donor to a GoFundMe for Ross, which has already raised more than $160,000. Ackman also reposted the fundraiser on X. Ross has been embroiled in controversy since he shot Good, 37, in the face three times at a Minneapolis protest on Wednesday after she refused demands to exit her vehicle. ICE claimed that trouble arose after the mother-of-three deliberately tried to run Ross over with her burgundy...

    It is now up to Russia to show it is interested in peace, after Kyiv and its allies agreed on a peace plan and security guarantees that would take effect following a ceasefire, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said. Speaking to reporters, she said the peace plan was the 20-point proposal that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump at the end of last year. She added that, alongside the plan, there were substantial, robust, and well-defined security guarantees for Kyiv from the United States and Europe. "Now, Russia has to show...

    We’ve spent many an article bringing you the foibles of California. Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democrat supermajority (there are currently 90 Democrats running Sacramento's legislature, with only 30 Republicans) have brought high taxes, crime, homelessness, rampant illegal immigration, and (in)affordability. These are just a few of the issues they have faceplanted on, turning the state that was not so long ago a place where people once dreamed of living into a laughingstock. heir latest boneheaded proposition is to further tax billionaires, who already pay a massive share of the state's revenue. Whether or not you like really, really rich...

    The Illinois Republican Party has blasted as "divisive" the hiring language the Obama Foundation is using for the Obama Presidential Center, arguing it shows the privately run project is using public land to advance a political agenda. The Obama Foundation, which is developing the hotly debated center on Chicago’s South Side, recently advertised roughly 150 jobs at the facility, stating that successful applicants are expected to align with the foundation’s "anti-racism" goals. "It’s an Illinois Democrat tradition to insert divisive, far-left policies into the lives of everyday Americans and to balk at the rule of law," Illinois Republican Party Chair...

    Anti-ICE activists have begun distributing tire-deflating devices and instructions to their fellow agitators in Minneapolis in hopes of hindering immigration enforcement operations in the city, a local politician revealed. The devices are 3D printed “tire-drainers” and were distributed in a neighborhood near the University of Minnesota with attached instructions and a link to the design file. The package recovered by Jerry Munson, a former state representative, held five such devices. The flyer attached to the package read: “See an ICE vehicle left unattended? Protect your community by draining their tires!” “1. Get a spotter to watch your back,” the flyer...

    In a chilling move, the UK government has rolled out a taxpayer-funded video game that paints every curious teenager as a potential far-right extremist. The “Pathways” game, backed by the Home Office’s Prevent counter-terrorism program, threatens young players with referrals to anti-terror experts simply for questioning unchecked mass migration or engaging with online debates about British identity. This indoctrination tool assumes teens are one wrong click away from radicalisation, equating basic concerns over job competition or veteran housing with illegal hate groups. It’s a blatant assault on free thought, designed to stifle dissent and enforce globalist narratives in schools—exposing the...

    Five hundred people in a small Canadian province were diagnosed with a mystery brain disease. What would it mean for the patients if the disease was never real? In early 2019, officials at a hospital in the small Canadian province of New Brunswick noticed that two patients had contracted an extremely rare brain condition known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or CJD. CJD is both fatal and potentially contagious, so a group of experts was quickly assembled to investigate. Fortunately for New Brunswick, the disease didn't spread. But the story didn't end there. In fact, it was just beginning. Among the experts...

    A Tennessee mom was forced to have her leg amputated after her pitbull savagely locked its jaws around the limb, leaving it “hanging on by a thread” as she tried to break up a dogfight inside her home. Amanda Mears, 42, was preparing to take her mixed American Pit Bull-American Staffordshire, named Dennis, out for a walk when the dog lunged at Ralphie, an American Bully, after he escaped from a bedroom where he had been kept inside her Murfreesboro home... “When he charged at my other dog, Ralphie, I got in between them, and that’s when Dennis latched on...
