One year into President Donald Trump‘s second term, the political temperature around the country is at an all-time high. This is hardly surprising given our sustained and intense polarization. The Democratic Party is still reeling from its November 2024 loss. But what it offered, a substitute candidate who entered the scene at the eleventh hour, had little appeal. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is far more mentally competent than was the diminished Joe Biden. However, she represented something average Americans reject: extremism. There is much to say about the wrong behavior that both parties have displayed in recent years. And...

Virginia Democrats in the state’s House of Delegates introduced a resolution on Tuesday that would establish a task force to investigate the Virginia Military Institute and determine if the historic military college should continue to receive funding. The move is the latest of Virginia Democrats’ efforts to reinvigorate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy in the state after much of the DEI mandates and policies were revoked after President Donald Trump was elected in 2024.

Minnesota can’t seem to get out of the news. Once a placid backwater, the state has now become synonymous with bats**t crazy. ICE came to town, and it brought left-wingers, both native Minnesotans and paid professionals, out in force. Things went from bad to worse, and a leftist mob invaded a church on Sunday morning, disrupting services. The mob was led by, among others, former CNN talking head Don Lemon. The Department of Justice, outraged, is pursuing criminal charges against some of the ringleaders. Ice came to town in a more literal way, too: the high temperature today was -11,...

Fake leftist scientist Michael Mann. In the never-ending legal battle between fake climate scientist Michael Mann and his critics, Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn, Mann has once again lost badly in an appeal to a higher court, with the Superior Court in DC not only ruling that Mann must immediately pay Simberg and Steyn a total of more than $27K in court costs and fees, but blasting Mann for his lies to the court during the proceedings. The fact remains that Dr. Mann throughout this litigation complained that he suffered lost grant funding directly stemming from the defamatory statements of...

Join with fellow FREEPERS across the world to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, Technology, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) THE COLD REALITY OF THIS WORLD IS THAT EACH OF US IS MOVING TOWARD A FINAL DESTINATION. WHETHER THE CURRENT CRISIS WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING ENDS QUICKLY OR STRETCHES OVER MONTHS AND YEARS,...

The Freedom Center covered Zaynab in our previous ‘Election Jihad’ report. Her claim to fame was being the first Somali Muslim female state senator in Minnesota. More recently, the Somali settler has been active in the anti-ICE campaign to protect Somali illegal alien criminals from federal law enforcement. State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed and local CAIR leader Jaylani Hussein have been handing out red cards in Somali telling Somalis that they refuse to open doors or answer questions. And aggressively pushing the open borders rallies. At least once a day for the last week, Minnesota State Senator Zaynab Mohamed, a 28-year-old...

Austin, we have a problem. Even as many in Texas are pushing back against the rising presence of Islamic Supremacist organizations and hate groups trying to spread their hateful views and calls for the conquest and mass murder of non-Muslims, Austin is welcoming them in. Fresh off declaring January to be ‘Muslim Heritage Month’, the city of Austin, Texas also decided to declare Jan 22nd, “CAIR-Austin” day after the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (a violent Islamist movement originally funded by Nazi Germany) whose national organization celebrated the Hamas massacres of Oct 7 and was named an unindicted...

"No work, no school, no shopping." Anti-ICE efforts continue to ramp up Minneapolis, coordinated by a coalition of socialists, communists, and labor unions. A collection of far-left activist groups — including the Democratic Socialists of America, major labor unions, explicitly Communist groups, and a CCP-linked protest network — have all organized a strike scheduled for Friday which aims to “shut down” schools and businesses statewide in Minnesota in an effort to push ICE out. The planned shutdown was announced early last week — "ICE Out of MN: Day of Truth and Freedom" — include plans for a large-scale march in...

A car plowed into a terminal at the Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan Friday night – and the driver bellowed nonsense as he was dragged away from the scene, according to shocking footage and reports. Wild footage captured the black sedan sitting in the middle of the McNamara Terminal, where startled Delta Airlines employees were working as it smashed through the glass doors of the Romulus, Mich. around 7:30 p.m., according to WXYZ. The driver immediately exited the vehicle with his hands raised and speaking in a daze as security and airport officials rushed to the debris-ridden area. “The response...

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO. Newsom made the announcement after meeting with WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week. The governor said California is now the first and only state to join WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, which is tasked with rapidly detecting, verifying, assessing, and responding to emerging public health threats. “The Trump administration’s withdrawal from WHO is...

Dr Oz, Administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, exposed a linen factory was converted into an office building for 400 likely fake Medicaid businesses in Minneapolis He then confirmed EACH ONE IS BILLING ROUGHLY A MILLION DOLLARS to taxpayers “Roughly each business had $1,000,000 of billing. It's an industrial area” “How is it possible 400 businesses billing almost $400 million were able to thrive here? — Why did no one in the state figure out this was a concern?”

Cam Higby 🇺🇸 @camhigby 🚨 GESTAPO PROTESTORS: Minneapolis “ICE observers” followed us for over an HOUR and demanded to SEE OUR PAPERS. We were told to leave Minneapolis and go to the airport or else. They claimed that our plates came back as “CONFIRMED ICE” in their database on multiple occasions

The outdoor brand Patagonia has sued drag queen Pattie Gonia over a trademark application filed by the entertainer, alleging that it will "confuse consumers" and cause irreparable harm to the brand.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ordered all public housing authorities and owners receiving department-funded housing Friday to verify tenant citizenship and eligibility after an audit conducted with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) flagged tens of thousands of deceased and ineligible tenants nationwide. HUD said the audit identified nearly 200,000 tenants requiring eligibility verification, including nearly 25,000 deceased tenants and nearly 6,000 ineligible non-American tenants across federally funded housing programs. Under the directive, HUD said all public housing authorities and participating owners have 30 days to take corrective action or face potential sanctions.

Police have arrested five people in connection with the shooting of an Indiana judge and his wife at their home on Sunday, including one man who was due in the judge's courtroom days after the attack. Lafayette police said in a statement Thursday that the five were arrested following an extensive investigation into the shooting of Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly. Both victims were in a stable condition following the shooting, which happened around 2:17 p.m. on Jan. 18. The judge was injured on his arm, his wife on her hip.

Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota are closing Friday to protest the deportation of illegal migrants, as industry experts admit that President Donald Trump’s deportation polices are nudging up wages for their American employees. Vendors, labor unions, and residents said they would be part of the “general strike” against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the New York Times reported Friday. However, it is important to note federal agents have been arresting criminal illegal aliens in the Democrat-run state and elsewhere across the nation to safeguard American communities. The Times article stated: In an email on Thursday, a Department of Homeland...
