    DETROIT (AP) — At the North American International Auto Show, tires squeal as gearheads put shiny new vehicles through their paces on a pair of indoor tracks that sprawl across the event space. One of those tracks used to be set aside exclusively for electric vehicles as U.S. automakers sought to quickly build out the cars of the future. But no longer. This year, both strips are open to hybrids and gas-powered vehicles as Detroit continues a pivot away from EVs since President Donald Trump returned to the White House with a pro-fossil fuels agenda. “The show will always reflect...

    For American freedom to survive another century, those who understand what is at stake have a moral responsibility to speak up. make no bones about my support for President Trump. I find him a breath of truth-infused fresh air in an age of pretending that has long been dedicated to constructing, spreading, and anointing the “narrative.” By rejecting the rules of “political correctness,” Trump is willing to say what others will not. By rejecting conventional “wisdom,” the president approaches challenges in insightful ways. By rejecting the authority of institutions compromised by political agendas, President Trump challenges corrosive policies camouflaged as...

    "In [Christ] also we have obtained an inheritance" (Eph. 1:10-11). As a member of God’s family, you have obtained a future inheritance that has many present benefits. An inheritance is something received by an heir as a result of a will or legal process. It's a legacy one receives from family connections. As a member of God's family, you are an heir of God and fellow heir with Christ (Rom. 8:17). As such you have obtained an inheritance that Peter called "imperishable and undefiled . . . reserved in heaven for you" (1 Pet. 1:4). It cannot perish, fade away,...

    Trump confirmed later on social media that Machado had left the medal for him to keep, and he said it was an honour to meet her.Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Thursday said she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump at the White House and discussed her country’s future with the US leader, even as he has questioned her credibility to lead her country. Machado's extraordinary gesture to Trump, which the Nobel Institute has said can not be done, followed a rapidly evolving series of developments in Venezuela after an audacious US military raid...

    Some fun facts: 1. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents. 2. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. 3.

Examples: - Armed groups openly defied federal law - State or local authorities could not or would not enforce federal law - Violence or organized resistance threatened the authority of the federal government - Courts were blocked, taxes couldn’t be collected, or officials were attacked Look I just described Minnesota.

    Iran is facing its most critical moment in decades. In this exclusive Jerusalem Dateline interview, Iranian-born lawyer, activist, and former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari joins Chris Mitchell and Joshua Swanson to discuss what she’s hearing from inside Iran as nationwide protests erupt. Ghamari says unconfirmed reports point to more than 30,000 Iranians killed, calling it the largest massacre since the Islamic regime took power in 1979. She explains why this uprising is different, why Iranians believe the regime’s fall is near, and what freedom could look like after nearly five decades of oppression. She also shares why Christianity is rapidly...

    The FBI searched the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson Wednesday morning, as part of a classified document leak investigation. Agents reportedly executed a search warrant at her residence in suburban Alexandria, Va., seizing her phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops (a personal computer and a Washington Post-issued device). Natanson was reportedly told she is not the target of the investigation. The suspected leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is a Maryland-based government system administrator with top-secret clearance. The Justice Department alleges in its complaint that he took home classified material, including documents found in his lunchbox and basement. Attorney General...

    What was Renee Nicole Good thinking when her girlfriend yelled, “Drive baby, drive” and grinning she drove her 4,000 lb Honda Pilot SUV at an armed federal law enforcement officer? Her last thoughts were likely of her imaginary white privilege and why it failed to protect her. Good had supported BLM and had inhaled its mythology of ‘the talk’, the idea that law enforcement is a racist institution, that police started out as ‘slave catchers’ and that they exist to persecute black people while giving white people a pass. This would have come as a surprise to the over 2,000...

    Never-before-seen high-definition footage of an uncontacted Amazonian tribe has surfaced in a recent interview between an American conservationist and podcaster Lex Fridman. Author Paul Rosolie has spent two decades working in the Amazon and says the moment was one of the most profound experiences he’s ever had. “In order for any of this to make sense, I had to show you this footage … This has not been shown ever before. This is a world first,” he told Fridman.

    Illinois Review ^ | January 12, AD 2026 | John F. Di Leo
    For months now, far-left activists across America have been gathering in groups, seeking out locations where federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (known as ICE) are conducting raids, hunting down and arresting criminal aliens who are in the country illegally. They then swarm the ICE action, blowing whistles, yelling and chanting to alert anyone whom the agents might be after, in hopes that the criminals can escape. They frequently use their cars, vans and SUVs in an attempt to block roadways or driveways so that the ICE agents can’t get through, and recently, they’ve even gone so far as to...

    A court ruled on Thursday that a Harrisburg city ordinance allowing the mayor to place restrictions on firearm use and possession during a state of emergency can be challenged even if those parts of the ordinance have never been enforced. Joshua First, Howard Bullock and Michelle Stolfer, who either lived in or visited Harrisburg during any of the city’s four most recent emergency declarations, have grounds to challenge the ordinance in court, per the order signed by the Commonwealth Court. The emergency ordinance in question allowed the mayor to declare a state of emergency and choose whether to implement a...
