Stephen Miller, a top White House official, said Tuesday evening that federal law enforcement now has the resources to protect its officers and begin the work of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks” hampering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota. Miller’s message came after President Trump released a statement on Truth Social earlier Tuesday, saying: “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a large-scale deployment of federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul in early January 2026, deploying approximately 2,000 federal agents from...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Makes a Housing-Related Announcement

President Trump has spent his first year in office treating Joe Biden's presidency as a historical aberration — not just undoing his policies, but casting his entire term as illegitimate. Why it matters: Presidencies usually fade. But in just one year, Biden's has been reduced to a footnote by a successor committed to dismantling every pillar of Washington's old liberal order. 1. Democracy: Biden built his presidency around the idea that American democracy had been assaulted by Trump 1.0 — that Jan. 6 was a defining national trauma requiring accountability and moral clarity. Trump has inverted that premise, pardoning thousands...

A century-old film and TV studio where “Seinfeld” and other hit shows were shot could shut down after the owner defaulted on a $1.1 billion loan. It’s the latest in a series LA entertainment industry defaults, which have left Hollywood begging for mercy. Hackman Capital Partners, the owner of the iconic CBS Radford Studios — where “Gilligan’s Island” and the classic 60’s western “Gunsmoke” were birthed — has plans to turn the property over to Goldman Sachs after failing to make payments, according to Bloomberg. Hackman had hoped to capitalize on the streaming industry, which was booming at the time...

As the magnitude and complexity of Minnesota’s Somali immigrant welfare fraud scandal come into clearer focus, Republicans in Congress are more boldly talking about it being part of a larger scheme by Democrats to use illegal immigrants and purported refugees to hijack federal elections and manipulate apportionment that determines Americans’ congressional representation and federal funding. The Republicans' argument goes like this: Democrats reversed Donald Trump’s related first-term executive orders and ensured that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, were counted into 2020 U.S. Census. Then-President Biden opened the southern border so that millions of illegals could flood the country in just a...

The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott after another season that failed to end in a Super Bowl appearance, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has claimed in his forthcoming memoir that 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ campaign asked him if he had ever worked as a “double agent for Israel” while vetting him as a potential running mate.Shapiro, who is Jewish, wrote in “Where We Keep the Light” that he told his interrogator, former Biden White House counsel Dana Remus, that he found the question offensive and was told, “Well, we have to ask.” According to the New York Times, which obtained an advance copy of Shapiro’s book, Remus then asked if the governor had ever “communicated with an...

Donald Trump will address the global elite at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday as a diplomatic crisis over Greenland spirals. Denmark has boycotted the conference after the president threatened 25 percent tariffs on eight European allies unless they agree to sell him the mineral-rich Arctic territory. 'This is the death of Davos,' Mark Blyth, a political economist at Brown University, told the New York Times. 'It has no relevance, none whatsoever. And the bigger question is, did it ever have relevance outside the chattering classes that were embedded in the status quo to start with?' Blyth added:...

Yesterday, January 18, this correspondent was driving on the way to Las Vegas for the Shot Show, 2026. In Nevada, on highway 95, contrails showed a remarkable cross or X in the sky. The cross was very close to the section of Highway 95 dedicated to US veterans from WWII on up. This correspondent served in the Cold War, so it was nice to see the sign. I will be at the Shot Show this week, so blog articles may be a little spotty. Today will be Industry Day at the Range. It appears the weather will be cool, with...

Pamela Bondi has taken something of a beating from the MAGA team over the past year. The reasons aren’t hard to discern, and are no fault of hers. It seems that a lot of the less informed among our crew seriously expected her to step into office and immediately set out to arrest Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, and whoever, and were sorely disappointed when this didn’t happen. Evidently, they have not heard the adage that begins, “The mills of justice grind slowly…” or have any familiarity with the legal process. There was the matter of “Epstein files,” which tripped her up...

President Trump has warned America’s European allies “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace” after he missed out on last year’s Nobel Prize amid a new round of threats to annex Greenland.Trump’s message, initially sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, was forwarded to multiple European ambassadors in DC, according to PBS. “Dear Jonas,” the message reads. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now...

Provisions in a budget passed in the Badger State this previous summer require that faculty at Wisconsin’s two flagship universities—UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee—now teach at least one course per semester and 12 credit hours each school year. At smaller universities, the requirements are higher. Choleric and incredulous, professors turned to the local paper to vent their outrage. I come here not to critique that policy specifically. There’s a colorable case to be made on either side of it. Perhaps a biologist working at the edge of human knowledge would be better off researching than teaching. Conversely, I feel little sympathy for...

Silicon Valley’s AI chatbots contend with supreme confidence that Ilhan Omar did not marry her brother, ignoring strong evidence to the contrary, our Alana Goodman reports. As the long-running allegations receive fresh attention from Donald Trump, leading AI platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s Gemini are dismissing them as “debunked” conspiracy theories. The posture of the chatbots reveals the bias of their mainstream media sources and a new frontier in the information wars. Some journalists, just not the ones the chatbots are relying on, have reported extensively on the overlap between Omar’s 2009 marriage—conducted by a priest—to...

A gunman randomly shot three tourists in a neighborhood near Florida's Disney World over the weekend, cops said. Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, was arrested after the 'cold-blooded' killing of three men in Kissimmee, a small city just outside of Orlando, after they got stuck at a rental property next his home when their car broke down. A motive for the shooting is unclear, as Bojeh reportedly did not know the murdered men.

UFC match between Orange Man Great and Maduro the Deposed. TKO.

For much of modern political history, the most dangerous words in public policy have not been shouted slogans but soothing reassurances. They are the claims that certain policies are “compassionate,” “progressive,” or “humane,” offered without any serious accounting of how they actually affect the people forced to live under them. This pattern is particularly evident in the agenda of today’s Democratic Party, whose policy choices increasingly produce chaos and danger while being marketed as moral advances. The central flaw is not malice so much as indifference to consequences. The pursuit of ideological purity has replaced the traditional liberal concern for...

Douglas Macgregor @DougAMacgregor BREAKING: Bank of England told to prepare for a market crash if the United States announces Alien Life. Helen McCaw who served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank sounded the alarm. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organize contingencies for the possibility that the White House may confirm we are not alone in the universe

Democrat Governor of Wisconsin Tony Evers now openly admits the agriculture workers in his state are illegals “Our state will be destroyed economically if suddenly we decide anybody undocumented is going home” “The majority of the work is done by people that are undocumented”
