Kathy Griffin endorses the Minneapolis insurrection being organized over Signal, says it's time "participate in something radical" Those of you that are awake, that see what's going on, what do you think the solution is? I think the murder of Renee Good, the murder of Alex Pretti, putting children on planes and taking them to detention centers—which are really concentration camps. Call it what it is. They're concentration camps in the United States of America in 2026. So, take that in. And I know you don't want to participate in something radical. I don't either... but it is happening all...

Sen. Thom Tillis said Friday that he will oppose President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair until the criminal probe of the current Chair Jerome Powell is “fully” resolved. “Protecting the independence of the Federal Reserve from political interference or legal intimidation is non-negotiable,” the North Carolina Republican said in a statement on X. Tillis, who is set to retire, vowed earlier this month to oppose any new nominee for the Fed until the Department of Justice’s controversial investigation of Powell is completed. Tillis is a member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee,...

GENEVA, Jan 30 (Reuters) - The U.N. chief has told states that the organisation is at risk of "imminent financial collapse", citing unpaid fees and a budget rule that forces the global body to return unspent money, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Friday. "The crisis is deepening, threatening programme delivery and risking financial collapse. And the situation will deteriorate further in the near future." The U.N. is facing a cash crisis as the world body's largest contributor - the United States - has slashed voluntary funding to U.N. agencies and refused to make mandatory payments to the...

Leftists’ irrational fury renders them incapable of processing irrefutable facts, videos, or evidence, making rational dialogue impossible as their hatred overrides any capacity for truth or reason. In recent weeks, protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have escalated across the country, particularly in Minneapolis, where mass deportations under President Donald Trump’s second administration have ignited widespread unrest. What began as demonstrations against what protesters call “inhumane” immigration policies has devolved, in many instances, into violent clashes with federal agents. Critics argue these actions stem from a deep-seated delusion, fueled by “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS)—a term describing an...

President Donald Trump on Friday named Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair, ending a five-month odyssey that has seen unprecedented turmoil around the central bank. The decision culminates a process that officially began last summer but started much earlier than that, with Trump launching a fusillade of criticism against the Powell-led Fed almost since Powell took the job in 2018. “I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” said Trump in a Truth Social post...

One of the most incredible accomplishments in the annals of global propaganda is the idea that Republicans in the United States are opposed to civil rights for individuals and the Democrats are for them. n the summer of 1964, James Chaney, Mickey Schwerner, and Andy Goodman left Oxford, Ohio to go and register blacks to vote in Mississippi. As they well understood, a vast network of self-styled vigilante "justice" existed in citizen councils, State Sovereignty commissions, the KKK, and many other locally oriented partisans aimed to intimidate and if necessary, kill them. For these civil rights activists from the Congress...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flooded Minneapolis, Shane Mantz dug his Choctaw Nation citizenship card out of a box on his dresser and slid it into his wallet. Some strangers mistake the pest-control company manager for Latino, he said, and he fears getting caught up in ICE raids. Like Mantz, many Native Americans are carrying tribal documents proving their U.S. citizenship in case they are stopped or questioned by federal immigration agents. This is why dozens of the 575 federally recognized Native nations are making it easier to get tribal IDs. They’re waiving fees, lowering the...

Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein. After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters. “In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and...
