For months now, far-left activists across America have been gathering in groups, seeking out locations where federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (known as ICE) are conducting raids, hunting down and arresting criminal aliens who are in the country illegally. They then swarm the ICE action, blowing whistles, yelling and chanting to alert anyone whom the agents might be after, in hopes that the criminals can escape. They frequently use their cars, vans and SUVs in an attempt to block roadways or driveways so that the ICE agents can’t get through, and recently, they’ve even gone so far as to...

As President Trump has argued his case against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in the public square, high-ranking members of the global banking community have rallied to Powell’s defense. Trump’s argument is that Powell is either incompetent or improperly partisan, as he dithered while a Democratic regime spent the country into oblivion and now he’s refused to accelerate needed reductions in interest rates during a Republican administration. In Trump’s eyes, there has to be a reason for that, and it’s unacceptable behavior. On top of that, Powell’s supervision of the renovation of the Fed’s national headquarters (the Eccles Building) has...

President Donald Trump's plans to acquire Greenland could cost U.S. taxpayers up front and over the long term. Denmark's leaders have said the semi-autonomous Danish territory isn't for sale. So have Greenland's leaders, who depend on fishing and subsidies from Copenhagen. Denmark's central bank noted in a recent report that Greenland's "economy is slowing down, with modest growth and serious challenges for public finances." Trump said U.S. ownership of Greenland is vital to national security, citing concerns that the island could otherwise be controlled by China or Russia. He has said his preference is to buy Greenland. "I would like...

Hang onto your wallet, it’s a Colorado legislative session. And the loneliest person under the Gold Dome is Jared Polis, a governor without a nation. This will be the last regular session of his limited two terms, and he has managed to become disliked by just about everyone. Of course, no matter how often he claims to be libertarian or business friendly, those on his right are just plain pissed at what he’s done to the state during his seven years. The sad fact is Colorado has never seen a more business-wrecking governor in her history.The Polis eraA postmortem on...

Boy, nothing will give you an absolute case of the morbs regarding average American educational standards quite like posting a couple of mildly controversial essays, and then catching emails, comments, and drive-by social media’ing. Good lord. “Ian! Why should American give a toss about what happens in a foreign country!” Seriously?1 The mullahs in Tehran have directly — albeit through proxies — been killing Americans since 1980. Lest anyone think that their slogan, “Death to America!” is hyperbole, they have influenced — if not outright funded — terror attacks on U.S. soil. They intentionally and knowingly attempt to goad the...

HOUSTON, Jan 12 - Two China-flagged supertankers that were sailing to Venezuela to pick up debt-paying crude cargoes amid the U.S. oil embargo on the OPEC country have made u-turn and are now heading back to Asia, LSEG shipping data showed on Monday. Following the U.S. announcement last week of a $2 billion deal to export up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil stuck in storage, U.S. president Donald Trump said China would not be deprived of Venezuela's crude. But the Asian country, the first market of the South American nation's oil, has not received any cargoes since last...

"And here we can see the approximate routes of attacks that took place between the 7th and 8th of January of 2026 when the Russians as you can see according to this map were attacking just the Nepro region.

Two people were wounded Thursday in a shooting by a Border Patrol agent in Portland, Oregon, police said, in what federal officials have called an act of self-defense during a targeted vehicle stop.On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security identified the two people shot, calling them “suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates” in a statement posted on X.The driver of the vehicle, Luis David Nico Moncada, illegally entered the U.S. in 2022, the statement alleged.The passenger, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, allegedly played a role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring.

Well, that escalated quickly. According to Tim Walz, Minnesota is at war with the federal government. He is calling out the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans against "rogue federal agents." Uh, wut? Even before the video came out that almost certainly showed that the woman who was unfortunately killed had surged her car and actually struck the federal agent who shot her, Minnesota's politicians ramped up the rhetoric, calling it murder and demanding that the federal government remove its law enforcement agents from the state. From everything I can see, Walz and Frey have been egging on the confrontations...

President Trump IS the new world order now.Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, “Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. And he is not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you.”He also said, “Mexico has to get their act together because they’re pouring through Mexico and we’re going to have to do something.”He also said, “Cuba looks like it is ready to fall.”But the best thing he said was “You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security on Greenland?...

Maduro’s here. And the memes are fire!

It has been a wild day on Twitter. (Or X, if you prefer.) After President Trump ordered the overnight strike in Venezuela, and US Delta Force operators captured and extracted dictator Nicolas Maduro, the social media platform has been a whirlwind of activity. From Venezuelans singing and dancing in celebration to leftists in America crying because one of their favorite world leaders had been taken out, we've frantically been trying to keep up with all of the reactions -- the good, the bad, and the extremely ugly. But amid all the furor, our favorite CNN commentator (and Salem Media radio...

Welcome to Threat Matrix 2026 For historical reference TM2025 link is https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4287478/posts?q=1&;page=1#1 Established in 2001, after the 9/11 attack on America and now in its 25th year, this thread is designed to identify threats to America, both internal and external, and evaluate the probability of those threats occurring and the extent of potential damage. Discussions may stray into ‘tinfoil’ territory, but the goal is to peel back and confirm information so we can make informed decisions and actions. Incredible as it seems, “tinfoil” conspiracy theories have fast become realities so they can no longer be ignored outright, but must be...
