The same CIA operatives who ran color revolutions overseas are now running one in Minneapolis. Barbara Boyd exposes Maria Stephan, the NED, and the regime-change playbook being used against Trump. Names. Files. Receipts. Watch now:

A pizza cutter-toting lunatic posed as an FBI agent in a botched bid to spring Luigi Mangione out of his notorious Brooklyn jail, federal prosecutors said Thursday. Minnesota native Mark Anderson approached the intake area at the Metropolitan Detention Center and made the head-scratching claim that he had an order “signed by a judge” to free the accused cold-blooded killer, who is being held without bail, according to court records and law enforcement sources. When asked to show his credentials, Anderson allegedly took out a Minnesota driver’s license, and said that he had weapons in his bag.

Every Democrat elected official in Fulton County seems to be absolutely losing their minds over the FBI raid where the Trump Admin finally got a hold of the 2020 ballots and election evidence. If there’s nothing to hide why freak out? If everything was above board they’d be happy to have this put to bed. They’re freaking out because they know they’re about to be exposed.

Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the suspension of 1,091 firms from the 8(a) Business Development Program – representing about 25% of all firms registered to participate in the federal government contracting program. The suspension comes after the firms failed to meet the agency’s January 19th deadline to submit three years’ worth of financial documents. In December, the SBA ordered all 4,300 firms to submit basic documentation to prove their legitimacy as part of the Trump SBA’s longstanding effort to root out small business contracting abuse by pass-through and shell companies that proliferated across the program during the...

President Donald Trump is starting 2026 with a shift in an unlikely corner of the electorate: Americans living in the nation's largest cities. A new Fox News poll—conducted January 23-26 under the joint direction of Democratic pollster Beacon Research and Republican pollster Shaw & Company Research among 1,005 registered voters nationwide—found the president's job approval rising modestly among urban residents, a group that has been one of his weakest since he returned to office. Newsweek contacted the White House for comment via email outside regular business hours. […] Trump gained ground with urban voters in the late-January Fox News poll,...

Strategy, the company that invented the digital asset treasury playbook, disclosed a fresh Bitcoin buy even as crypto prices slumped amid a broader market drawdown.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins said early Thursday that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ended its enhanced immigration operation in the state of Maine. The Republican senator said she had several “direct conversations” with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem since the agency launched its operation over a week ago, which comes after she’d received no information from the agency at the start of its heightened presence. While not saying when the operation ended, Collins said in a statement, “There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here.” It is unclear how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity...

An aircraft believed to be operated by the Iranian government departed from Tehran en route to Moscow, Russia, Thursday night, according to social media posts citing flight-tracking data. As of publication, there has been no independent confirmation from Iranian, Russian, or international aviation authorities regarding the flight’s purpose or passengers, but multiple apps are tracking the plane’s flight.

Democrats voted to block legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies Thursday as they continued to negotiate with Republicans and the White House on new restrictions for President Donald Trump’s surge of immigration enforcement. Thursday’s 45-55 test vote came as Democrats have threatened a partial government shutdown when money runs out on Friday. But Trump said just ahead of the vote that “we don’t want a shutdown” and the two sides were discussing a possible agreement to separate homeland security funding from the rest of the legislation and fund it for a short time.

Five months after her boyfriend’s headless body was discovered inside her home, an Anaheim woman who had been working as a stripper has been extradited from Mexico to face murder charges. Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, faces one count of murder with a felony enhancement for personally using a weapon, prosecutors announced Thursday. On Aug. 25, 2025, the decapitated body of 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal was found inside Lira’s Anaheim home. Homicide detectives quickly identified Lira as the suspect, prosecutors said, and learned she had fled to Mexico. The couple had been dating for about two months and met as Lira was...

Have you ever wondered why it seems as though some on the left are bent on destroying the country? Have you also wondered why some leftists have a certain affinity for foreign causes and countries but couldn’t connect the dots? Does it also seem that some on the left are just following along as “useful innocents” (or the other I-word)?AdvertisementA piece from Glenn Beck, the non-profit Mauro Institute, and the Washington Free Beacon will go a long way in answering these questions. When it comes to the fringe far left, they always seem to reach for the extremes in beliefs...

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are proposing sweeping changes to the nation’s voting laws, a long-shot priority for President Donald Trump that would impose stricter requirements before Americans vote in the midterm elections in the fall. The package expected to be released Thursday reflects some of the party’s most sought-after election changes, including requirements for photo IDs before people can vote, proof of citizenship and prohibitions on universal vote-by-mail and ranked choice voting — two voting methods that have proved popular in some states. The legislation faces a long road ahead in the narrowly-split Congress, where Democrats have rejected similar...

Right now, drone-metal pioneers Earth are touring Europe. On Tuesday night (Jan. 27), Earth were slated to play at the Bologna, Italy venue TPO, which hosts cultural events as well as underground bands. According to various reports from the show, Earth did not perform because Dylan Carlson, the band's frontman and sole permanent member, objected to the Palestinian flag hanging in the venue.

The bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been returned by Russia, Kyiv has said, in the latest exchange between the warring countries. Russia received 38 bodies in return, Moscow's chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said. Medinsky posted a photo on Telegram apparently showing the exchange, with individuals dressed in biohazard suits standing next to a line of white refrigerated trucks used to transport bodies. The last swap took place in November last year when Russia returned 1,000 bodies to Ukraine and received 30 in return. There has not been an exchange of prisoners of war since October 2025, with both sides...

The U.S. deficit with its global trading partners nearly doubled in November as the shortfall with the European Union swelled and the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs worked their way through the economy, the Census Bureau reported Thursday. Following a month where the trade deficit hit its lowest level since early 2009, it shot up to $56.8 billion, an increase of 94.6% from October. Of that gain, about one-third came with the European Union, where the goods deficit rose by $8.2 billion. The goods deficit with China decreased by about $1 billion to $13.9 billion. On a year-over-year basis,...

This is just one more example of a Tucker-Carlson-esque pattern of doing anything he can to avoid showing sympathy to Israel and the Jews. ... Vance: "Today we remember the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust, the millions of stories of individual bravery and heroism, and one of the enduring lessons of one of the darkest chapters in human history: that while humans create beautiful things and are full of compassion, we're also capable of unspeakable brutality. And we promise never again to go down the darkest path."

Sanctuary cities are "sanctuaries for criminals" who endanger communities, President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said Thursday morning in his first press conference after arriving in Minneapolis. Homan said he was deployed to Minnesota earlier this week to help restore law and order and remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from local communities. He made clear his focus is public safety — not politics or headlines. "I didn't come to Minnesota for photo ops or headlines," Homan told reporters. "I came here to seek solutions." Homan said more than 10 million illegal aliens entered the country under the Biden administration,...

A large mob of protestors surrounded a restaurant in Los Angeles after mistaking airport security workers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The demonstrators gathered outside of Ten-Raku, a Korean BBQ spot in Lynwood, on Wednesday night after hearing reports that federal officers were allegedly inside. In reality, they blared airhorns and whistles and shouted at off-duty TSA officers who were just trying to enjoy dinner, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office told the Daily Mail. When confronted about mistaking the airport staff for ICE, one irate demonstrator gave the excuse that people get 'emotional' and make 'mistakes,' noting...
