At least three homeless New Yorkers were found dead in freezing temperatures Saturday morning after Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul rebuffed a federal assistance offer from the Trump administration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reached out to New York ahead of the major winter storm sweeping the country. Hochul responded on X by demanding immigration enforcement changes as a condition for accepting help. “Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm,” Hochul wrote on X. “I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters,...

I believe the greatest threat to our nation isn't the Islamo-commie animals currently raping their way across Western Europe, murdering their way through Niger, or fleecing our treasury in God-knows-how-many of our states. Rather, it's a group of "unindicted domestic terrorists" who are just AWFL: Affluent White Liberal Women. These are the harpies who make all of the above possible. (snip) Now that we know what an AWFL are, let's talk about how to identify them: #1) They are usually wildly unattractive. Check out this communist skank—who isn't completely physically offensive (we will get to those gorgons in a minute)—but...

@RepJamesComer Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer. The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment. The House Oversight Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas require the Clintons to appear for depositions that are under oath and transcribed. Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath,...

Yesterday, January 18, this correspondent was driving on the way to Las Vegas for the Shot Show, 2026. In Nevada, on highway 95, contrails showed a remarkable cross or X in the sky. The cross was very close to the section of Highway 95 dedicated to US veterans from WWII on up. This correspondent served in the Cold War, so it was nice to see the sign. I will be at the Shot Show this week, so blog articles may be a little spotty. Today will be Industry Day at the Range. It appears the weather will be cool, with...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem isn't having it from Democrat lawmakers who wish to further inflame rising tensions in the wake of the shooting death of far-left agitator Renee Nicole Good last Wednesday in Minneapolis. A day after the shooting, Noem quietly updated DHS's policy, which will now require Members of Congress to submit visit requests at least one week prior to the intended visit date.The move by Noem comes after a December decision by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Joe Biden appointee, that blocked a previous DHS directive requiring a one-week notice of congressional visits...

As the clock ticks on California’s billionaires facing a proposed wealth tax, some of America’s top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State. Google co-founder Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California, as public filings reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State’s office show several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December, ahead of the Jan. 1, 2026, residency date tied to the proposed tax. Those filings indicate his family office, Koop LLC, and his influenza research fund, Flu Lab LLC, no longer list...

US President Donald Trump on Saturday dismissed Nobel Peace Prize-winning opposition leader María Corina Machado as a potential leader of Venezuela, saying she does not have the “support or respect" within the country. Speaking at a news conference, Trump said, “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country. She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect." Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, posted on social media that “the hour of freedom has arrived" and called for the...

A woman arrested twice for silently praying outside an abortion clinic, who received a £13,000 payout in acknowledgement of her unjust treatment, has become the first person in Britain to be charged under new buffer zone laws. Abortion buffer zones came into force in October 2024 outside abortion clinics in England and Wales, criminalising offering vital support to women, and amid confusion about precisely what activities are prohibited outside abortion clinics. Director of the March For Life UK, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, had previously been arrested twice for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Birmingham, but West Midlands Police subsequently apologised...

Discriminatory “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) policies have been enshrined in virtually every major American institution for more than a decade now. While conservatives have made some laudatory progress in turning the cultural tide against DEI, the fallout on the American economy and, even more devastatingly, the American family, is only just beginning. This week, Compact Magazine published what may be the most important long-form essay of the year. “The Lost Generation,” authored by aspiring screenwriter and odd-jobs aficionado Jacob Savage, describes in specific, heartbreaking detail the economic carnage that DEI has wrought on young men, and young white men...

Matt Walsh Applies Proper Logic to Determine We Shouldn't Take Any Asylum Seekers at All

CBS News will stop editing 'Face the Nation' interviews after Kristi Noem accused it of cutting her remarks, citing a push for more transparency. Days after complaints over the handling of an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on “Face the Nation,” CBS News said Friday it would no longer allow editing of its guests' words on the Sunday morning public affairs show.Noem charged that CBS had “shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth” about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation to El Salvador made him a symbol of controversies about President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Her interview...

This week, another transgender shoot-up of a Christian school provides more chilling evidence that the culture war is a spiritual war. The Minneapolis shooter’s actions and Democrats’ interpretation of them both demonstrate this. The New York Post published excerpts of the shooter’s journal posted on YouTube that include a drawing of him communing with a Satanic figure in a mirror. As I’ve written before, Satan-worshippers can be startlingly more direct than many Christians about the connections between their spiritual and political beliefs.

There is a slow, deliberate purge happening in America. Not a war waged with guns, bombs, and tanks, but with erasers, marketing departments, and cultural commissars. It is the grand project of the woke movement, a full frontal assault on white European history, culture, and symbols. And the most effective battles are not fought in the streets but in the quiet removal of images, names, and figures that once stood as touchstones of identity. Wokeness, rooted in the toxic soil of Critical Theory and Marxism is a cancer metastasizing through every organ of society. Public institutions, schools, corporations. Heck, even...

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believes that helping negotiate an end to the Ukraine-Russia war might help him get to Heaven. Trump called into the Fox News program "Fox & Friends" for a phone interview on Tuesday morning, one day after he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House as part of the ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, which began with Russia's invasion in 2022. The president provided updates on efforts to end the war. He lamented the toll it was taking on the lives of Russian and Ukrainian...

Democrats rigged the 2020 Census. There are 20-30 Democrat seats in the House that would NOT exist if illegals weren't counted. Let's fix this.

When American Eagle released a cheeky new jeans ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, the message was simple: she’s a natural beauty, and American Eagle jeans highlight that. But instead of taking it at face value, critics on the Left exploded, calling the ad “racist,” “eugenic,” and even comparing it to Nazi propaganda. On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the absurdity of the outrage and exposes the real history of eugenics—hint: it doesn’t come from the Right. “ We have all sorts of models that pose for jean commercials. American Eagle have had...

"setting women back." That’s just the excuse they’re throwing around because they don’t want to admit the truth. They’re mad because she’s young, hot, White, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth: that the American people are done with woke! If she were 300 pounds and identified as gender-fluid, she’d be hailed as a revolutionary. If she threw her pronouns into every interview, wore a "FEMINIST" crop top to the red carpet, and spouted progressive talking points on cue, they’d be tripping over themselves to give her a GLAAD Award. But because Sydney...

After enduring four brutal years of being relentlessly prosecuted, surveilled, slandered, and even shot at, President Trump has returned to finish what he started. His mission remains the same, to Make America Great Again, but to accomplish his goals he must destroy the Deep State. The American people are now putting on notice those individuals and networks—inside and outside the U.S. government—who participated in what history will remember as an attempted political coup. Accountability is no longer optional, it’s coming and our enemies know it. A Nation of Laws Are we currently a nation of laws operating under a constitutional...

President Trump’s former impeachment attorney David Schoen dropped a legal nuke on the legacy of Barack Obama — declaring that the 44th President of the United States can still be impeached, and if so, could lose his post-presidential immunity and face indictment for criminal conduct tied to the Russia Collusion hoax. This explosive revelation came just days after President Trump remarked that Obama owed him “big” for the recent Supreme Court decision affirming presidential immunity for official acts committed while in office. But Schoen isn’t letting Obama off the hook. Let’s not forget — during their second failed impeachment attempt...

The media says there's no client list. No trafficking. No intelligence ties. But the evidence says otherwise. In this explosive deep-dive, we expose the suspicious wealth, powerful allies, and unanswered questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. From hidden cameras and mysterious mansions to ties with Mossad, CIA fixers, and billionaires like Wexner, Gates, and Black, this is the video they don't want you to see.
