WASHINGTON — Tech mogul Elon Musk is throwing his weight behind Senate Republican challenger Nate Morris with a $10 million donation in the hotly contested race to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), The Post has learned.The decamillion-dollar boost was made last week to a Morris-backing super PAC, sources said, and marks the largest contribution from the SpaceX CEO to a candidate for federal office other than President Trump.

Elon Musk is investing heavily in keeping the Senate seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell in the GOP camp, according to a new report. Musk has donated a “stunning” $10 million to support Kentucky businessman Nate Morris, who is running in the May Republican primary, according to Axios. The donation is unprecedented — the largest the tech billionaire has ever given to a Senate candidate. Axios reported that Musk was all-in after meeting Morris, who shares a mutual friend in the person of Vice President J.D. Vance. The report said Musk is pleased to back a candidate who...

Donald Tusk’s government has replaced the words “woman” and “man” in key official documents with gender-neutral terms so that same-sex marriages conducted elsewhere can be recognised in Poland. This follows the European Court of Justice’s November ruling that Poland must recognise a gay couple’s foreign marriage despite the country itself forbidding same-sex marriage. But a host of politicians and legal experts have argued that Warsaw was not obliged to introduce this change of language. Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, however, appeared to concede that the move was voluntary, saying his team “wanted to” recognise same-sex marriages. In a statement released...

Donald Trump has not ruled out using force to seize Greenland from Denmark as tensions escalate between the US and NATO. The president was asked in a telephone interview on Monday if he would use military force to take Greenland if a deal could not be reached over the Danish territory. Trump gave a simple response: 'No comment.' The president ramped up pressure as he imposed tariffs on eight European nations over their support for Greenland. The tariffs will start at 10 percent next month and rise again to 25 percent in June, remaining in place until a deal is...

President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) for her criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) operations in Minnesota. “There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!” In a prior post, Trump said ICE “is removing some of...

At a press conference held by Tom Barrack and Ahmed al-Sharaa (al-Jolani) at the Tishrin Palace in Damascus, it was stated that SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi was ready to attend the meeting but was unable to do so due to adverse weather conditions. In his brief remarks, al-Jolani said: “We have reached a comprehensive ceasefire and full integration between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and a ceasefire order has been issued.” Al-Jolani added that he would meet with Mazloum Abdi at a later date to discuss the details and mechanisms for implementing the agreement. Responding...

Iran’s supreme leader has now openly acknowledged what the Islamic Republic has spent weeks trying to obscure from the world. In remarks carried by Iranian state media on Saturday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei admitted that “several thousand deaths” had occurred during Iran’s latest wave of nationwide protests, while blaming the United States and Israel for the bloodshed. Protesters, he declared, were “criminals,” “mercenaries,” and mohareb (enemies of God) – a charge that carries the death penalty under Iranian law. For over four decades, the Islamic Republic has relied on a familiar formula for survival. It begins with repression at home, then...

Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has alleged that staffers for former Vice President Kamala Harris questioned whether he was a double agent of Israel when vetting him as a potential 2024 running mate. Writing in his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light, the prominent Democrat governor alleged that the former vice president’s vetting team scrutinized his views on Israel, mostly due to his being Jewish. “Had I been a double agent for Israel?” Shapiro wrote in describing his offended response to a last-minute question from the vetting team. When he called out the question for its obvious antisemitic overtones,...

VIDEOIt's waaaay beyond the merely political. As you can see in this compendium it is MENTAL in many cases. Yes, many/most of the anti-ICE wackos are Commies but they also suffer from SEVERE mental health issues as you can see.

The Kremlin has announced that Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s “board of peace”, set up last week with the intention that it would oversee a ceasefire in Gaza. The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists on Monday that Russia was seeking to “clarify all the nuances” of the offer with Washington, before giving its response. The claim of an invitation comes with Putin showing no signs of ending his invasion of Ukraine, in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and Russian troops have carried out atrocities against civilians. The Russian president has repeatedly rejected proposals...

Exclusive: Diocese of Charlotte reacts to first Sunday after altar rail banIn the Diocese of Charlotte, Bishop Michael Martin’s pastoral letter of December 17, 2025 ordered that altar rails, kneelers and prie-dieux be removed from public Masses by Friday, January 16.As the first Sunday Masses without altar rails unfolded this weekend, reports from across the diocese indicated anything but uniform compliance. While some parishes removed temporary kneelers and adjusted Communion lines, others made no immediate changes, awaiting Vatican clarification on a dubia submitted by more than 30 priests. The result has been a patchwork of responses indicating deep frustration with...

Record snowfall buries buildings and towns in Russia’s Kamchatka. I promise to never complain about 6 inches of snow in New York again.

Desperate to generate events that will help push the fraud scandal out of the current news, Gov. Tim (D) and Mayor Jacob Frey (D) have been goading folks to continue their efforts to impede ICE's enforcement activities. Some of these efforts include: At an ICE traffic stop, agents attempted to arrest Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, an illegal alien from Venezuela with previous arrests and convictions. Sosa-Celis resisted arrest, fled in his car and was pursued by one of the ICE agents. After Sosa-Celis crashed into another car he attempted to flee on foot, and was tackled by the ICE agent. During...

Just a thought. How would you add to this thought. How did it happen that Minnesota gave us both Joe McCarthy and Ilhan Omar. Does it mean anything?

President Donald Trump has blown up another Senate GOP primary, throwing Republicans into turmoil and giving Senate Majority Leader John Thune a blistering headache. Trump’s decision to endorse GOP Rep. Julia Letlow – who isn’t even formally in the Louisiana Senate race — over incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy (La.) puts the president at loggerheads with Thune, meddling in a safe Republican state. Thune has endorsed Cassidy, and the pair were in Baton Rouge together last week.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre replied Monday to President Donald Trump’s highly controversial letter linking his desire to acquire Greenland to being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is given out by a committee of five chosen by the Norwegian parliament. “I can confirm that this is a text message that I received yesterday afternoon from President Trump. It came in response to a short text message from me to President Trump sent earlier on the same day, on behalf of myself and the President of Finland Alexander Stubb,” Støre replied, adding: "In our message to Trump we...

Sen. Bernie Sanders has served on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s board for 18 years, but hasn’t attended a single meeting — inspiring a bipartisan push to oust him, The Post has learned. Sanders (I-Vt.) was appointed in 2007 to the Holocaust Memorial Council, which meets twice a year to oversee the landmark DC museum located about 2 miles from the Capitol. Records supplied to The Post by museum staff show that Sanders, who mainstreamed democratic socialism with grassroots campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, has missed every meeting of the board since his appointment. “There...

When news broke of the massive child nutrition fraud in Minnesota, many Americans reacted with disbelief. During the pandemic, roughly $250 million intended to feed hungry children was siphoned off, prosecutors say, and spent on luxury cars, real estate, and other indulgences. To most people, it appeared to be a shocking betrayal of public trust. To me, it felt unsettlingly familiar. Decades ago, long before Minnesota became synonymous with one of the largest fraud cases in U.S. history, I had an experience in Somalia that permanently altered my perspective on aid, trust, and good intentions. It is why I...

More than 10,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Minneapolis since the start of the second Trump administration, with 3,000 cuffed in the last six weeks alone, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday. “PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS!” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem proclaimed in a post on X. Those arrested, Noem said, “were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals.” Frey raised eyebrows on Sunday when he compared ICE’s immigration crackdown in his city to an “invasion” by the federal...
