An environmental group filed suit on Wednesday seeking to prevent the U.S. Interior Department from placing an image of President Donald Trump's face on annual entrance passes for national parks and federal recreational areas that go on sale next year. Federal law requires the $80-a-year "America the Beautiful Pass" to bear the winning image from an annual photo contest depicting scenery or wildlife in a national park or forest, according to the Center for Biological Diversity's 16-page complaint. The winning photo from the latest contest in June, sponsored by the National Parks Foundation, was a picture of Glacier National Park...

The New York Times reported: Federal prosecutors issued subpoenas on Tuesday to at least five Democratic officials in Minnesota, ramping up the Justice Department’s investigation into their response to the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in the state, according to two people familiar with the matter. The subpoenas sought documents from Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul related to their policies on immigration enforcement...

Meet Chanda Petrey-Czaruk, the Vice President of @HomeFirstChoice in Ohio. She posted a video wishing for Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to experience traumatic injuries during childbirth. This woman is in charge of a home health care company and is a registered nurse in Ohio. Terrifying that activists like this are in the medical field. She needs to have her license revoked.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Actor Melissa Gilbert could speak Tuesday at a New Mexico detention hearing for her husband, Emmy Award-winning actor Timothy Busfield, who faces child sex abuse charges stemming from allegations that he inappropriately touched a minor on a TV series set. Busfield, who is known for appearances in “The West Wing,” “Field of Dreams” and “Thirtysomething,” was ordered held without bond last week at his first court appearance. Busfield called the allegations lies in a video shared before he turned himself in. Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls in the 1970s to ’80s TV series “Little House on...

@GBNEWS 'This is the worst deal I’ve ever seen!' Nigel Farage blasts Labour's Chagos Islands handover, calling it a betrayal of national security, a £50 billion taxpayer disaster, and a slap in the face to the Chagossians. 'I hope Trump’s has sunk this Chagos deal below the waterline.'

Live protests are underway in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have rallied, with large crowds gathering and marching to the site where Good was killed, demanding accountability and shouting anti-ICE slogans. Tense confrontations are also occurring near the Federal Building, where law enforcement has deployed pepper balls and chemical irritants against some protesters. The demonstrations reflect widespread anger over the shooting and the broader federal immigration crackdown, with activists and local leaders calling for ICE...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said that when people find out “someone that’s supposed to be speaking for the community in church” is “a federal agent that is running ICE in their communities, they have the right to go in there.” “Churches have always been an open door,” and the people who barged into a church in St. Paul over the weekend weren’t violent. Host Jim Sciutto asked, “Do you believe it was a step too far for protesters to go into a church?” Grijalva answered, “I don’t. I don’t. I think that when...

@SenRandPaul Just read the minibus Congress plans to pass this year. An unbelievable over $5 billion is going toward refugee welfare programs. I am going to fight like hell to get this removed. In the meantime, call your Senators and tell them to vote NO, and to put an end to the refugee rip-off.

Explanation: The strangest moon in the Solar System is bright yellow. The featured picture, an attempt to show how Io would appear in the "true colors" perceptible to the average human eye, was taken in 1999 July by the Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Io's colors derive from sulfur and molten silicate rock. The unusual surface of Io is kept very young by its system of active volcanoes. The intense tidal gravity of Jupiter stretches Io and damps wobbles caused by Jupiter's other Galilean moons. The resulting friction greatly heats Io's interior, causing molten rock to...

Louisiana deserves a conservative Senator who will not waver. I am honored to have President Trump’s endorsement and trust. Let’s Geaux!" Letlow said on social media. Cassidy responded saying he's running, and "if Congresswoman Letlow decides to run, I am confident I will win."

Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for abolishing ICE during a gushing interview on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday. The socialist mayor told the hosts he doesn’t see federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing anything to help public safety. “I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist,” Mamdani said. Mamdani claimed deportation raids would “rip” the Big Apple apart. “We are talking about people whose crimes simply seems to be being in New York City and if they make good on this threat and would...

Attorney General Letita James shuts down Jewish group for fighting back. After two years of Hamas supporters assaulting NYPD officers and Jewish community members, besieging synagogues, blocking streets, vandalizing buildings and making death threats, New York Attorney General Letitia James finally took action. Against Jews. In a press release, AG James, who had previously worked to shut down the NRA because she disagreed with its politics, announced that she had closed down Betar, a pro-Israel group , for appearing at synagogues to defend them from Muslim mobs, for claiming that “that all devout Muslims ‘hate America’, and for making derogatory...

In his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, bestselling investigative author and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer documents that jihadist leaders — led by the Muslim Brotherhood and aligned Islamist movements operating both overseas and inside the United States — have long treated mass migration, now weaponized through the exploitation of modern immigration systems, not as a humanitarian phenomenon but as a deliberate strategy of conquest meant to penetrate, subvert, and ultimately remake the United States from within. Schweizer grounds that conclusion in the movements’ own doctrine, tracing the...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands. During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.” Last year, she claimed that Americans did not show her and her family “grace” because of their skin color, despite the fact her husband was elected in a landslide.

President Donald Trump a week ago told the credit card industry it had until Jan. 20 to comply with his demand for a 10% cap on interest rates. With just days to go, consumer groups, politicians, and bankers alike remain unclear on what the White House has planned and whether Trump even remains serious about the idea. So far, the White House has not provided any detail about what will happen to credit card companies that don’t lower card rates. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president has “an expectation” that credit card companies will accede to his...

Good information on voter identification.

Eric Cartman instigates killing of Renee Good and laughs evilly.

You know what’s better than firefighting? Fire prevention. Minneapolis is in chaos. Large, well-organized battalions of anti-ICE activists are tracking federal officers and doing their level best to prevent them from enforcing the law and deporting illegal aliens. Citizens supporting ICE are being beaten in the streets. The Governor and many other elected officials are standing one step away from open insurrection and sedition. And, right now, as you read this, the groundwork is being laid to make all that look like merely a preamble. The anti-ICE activists and their allies, including individuals tied directly to Communist China, are getting...

As the Culture War rages, no field is exempt from its reach. Much has been printed about this intense battle for the American soul. Now, even the fonts used for printing have become a battlefield. It is no longer what you read, but how it appears, that is contested. A font war has erupted between Times New Roman and Calibri, representing right and left, respectively. Some people think such issues are unimportant or at least culturally neutral. Nothing could be further from the truth. Culture encompasses everything that constitutes the daily life of people. Embedded inside things are principles, impressions,...
