B-2 Spirits Join Iran Air War, Pummel Underground Missile Caves TWZ Newsletter, 1 March 2026 Just as we expected, B-2 Spirits have entered the air campaign against Iran last night. Flying global airpower missions from their home base in Whiteman, Missouri, America’s stealth bombers arrived over Iranian airspace in the early morning hours and targeted Iran’s missile caves. These facilities are built deep under mountains and are primarily used for storage, but some of them actually have the ability to launch ballistic missiles through fissures in their ceilings.   Think Dems’ ‘Tax the Rich’ Policies Will Make America Better Off? Just Take a Look at California I & I Editorial Board Politicians love nothing more than spending, as our dangerously surging fiscal deficits clearly show. But rather than cut unnecessary spending, which would be the most logical thing, Democrats continue to push the dumbest non-solution for our soaring spending, deficits, and debt: tax the rich. |

| Hormuz Erupts: Attacks, GPS Jamming, Houthi Threats Rock Strait Amid U.S.-Israeli Strike The Strait of Hormuz region became a flashpoint Sunday after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran under Operation Epic Fury triggered electronic warfare activity and multiple "attacks" on vessels along one of the world’s most critical energy waterways, according to reports. The sudden escalation followed a Feb. 28 warning from U.S. maritime authorities urging commercial vessels to avoid strategic waterways if possible, including the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, citing heightened security risks. | |
| Trump Pledges to 'avenge' Fallen U.S. Service Members As Tensions with Iran Intensify "As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation," Trump said in a video statement posted on Truth Social.

| Mamdani's Response to Iran Strike Sparks Online Fury: 'Why Is This So Hard for You?' "Comrade Mayor is rooting for the Ayatollah," GOP Sen. Ted Cruz posted on X. "They can chant together." Mamdani blasted the Trump administration's decision in a post on X that has been viewed roughly 20 million times. "Today’s military strikes on Iran – carried out by the United States and Israel – mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression," Mamdani wrote. "Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change." | |
| Why Donald Trump Is Right to Intervene in the UK’s Chagos Islands Deal and Risking Diego Garcia Azeem Ibrahim The U.S. and the UK have shared a military base on Diego Garcia, the largest island in the Chagos Islands, since the 1970s. As I previously argued in the Washington Examiner, Diego Garcia is not an obscure colonial relic but a cornerstone of Western power projection in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East. The proposed agreement would see the United Kingdom transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while leasing back the base for nearly a century at a cost reportedly running into the billions. This is being framed in London as a legal tidy-up, a necessary act of post-colonial housekeeping. In reality, it is a profound strategic surrender dressed up as moral rectitude. Trump is correct to oppose it for three core reasons: deterrence credibility, alliance coherence, and systemic competition with China. |

| Spanberger's Dour SOTU Rebuttal Sophie Starkova  Virginia
Governor Abigail Spanberger attempted a rebuttal of President Donald
Trump’s State of the Union Address by asking three questions of the
American people: “Is the president working to make life more affordable
for you and your family? Is the president working to keep Americans
safe at home and abroad? Is the president working for you?” According
to Spanberger, though, “We did not hear the truth from the president.”
... The contrasts couldn’t be starker between the two: Trump has kept
his promises, while she has broken all of hers. |

| State Officers Uncover $28 Billion in Waste as Trump Launches Anti-Fraud Initiative For years, there’s been that little voice in the back of your head – the one the media tells you is crazy – whispering that the corruption we see is just a fraction of the real story. We hear about a scandal here, a boondoggle there, and we know in our bones it’s just the surface. It’s a profound sense of frustration, watching our money get vacuumed into a black hole of ineptitude. But a stunning new report just confirmed that little voice was right all along. A coalition of conservative watchdogs recently put the crisis in stark terms, praising President Trump for taking on the challenge. |

| Biden Admin Urged Mass. Gov. Maura Healey to Clean Up State SNAP Program, a 2024 Letter Reveals Healey claims that allegations of fraud in Massachusetts, labeled by President Trump during the State of the Union address as among the most fraud-ridden states, are simply a “distraction” by Trump to shift focus away from what she says are his failed policies. But a letter from the USDA, dated Feb. 8, 2024, urged Healey to improve and bring to “acceptable” levels the Department of Transitional Assistance’s payment error rate, case and procedural error rate, and its application processing timeliness, adding that all three didn’t meet “basic federal requirements” in FY22, which was under the Gov. Charlie Baker administration. | |
| Behind Shadowy Union Boss Pushing California's Billionaire's Tax – Who Faced Sleazy Workplace Claims The man who could make or break California’s future isn’t Gavin Newsom or Donald Trump – but a powerful union boss many fear is hell-bent on driving $1 trillion in wealth from the state. Dave Regan, who’s been the head of the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West since 2011, wants billionaires to pay 5% of their wealth to the the state. But the widely-panned tax already has some of the wealthiest Californians – facing staggering tax bills as high as $12 billion – seriously considering packing their bags for cheaper states. |

He’s Now Accused of Training Chinese Combat Pilots A former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot was arrested Wednesday on allegations that he traveled to China to illegally train combat pilots with the People’s Liberation Army. The Justice Department announced that 65-year-old Gerald Eddie Brown, Jr. had been charged with providing and conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese military pilots without authorization in violation of the Arms Export Control Act. Brown was arrested in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and is expected to make his first court appearance on Thursday. |

people, including the gunman, were killed, and 14 others were wounded
in a mass shooting outside a bar in Austin's bustling Sixth Street
entertainment district early Sunday morning that authorities said may
have ties to terrorism. When police arrived at the scene, they
confronted a man with a gun and then "returned fire, killing the

| Cuba’s Russian Rescue Fantasy Falls Apart Sarah Anderson The Cuban regime is just embarrassing itself. At some point in the last day or so, a rumor spread that the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it was sending Cuba a tanker full of oil accompanied by a Russian Navy destroyer to keep the United States military from stopping it from reaching the island. The rumor was big on social media, largely growing through pro-Cuban regime accounts, and, while I can't verify this, it was possibly even mentioned in state media. The Russian Embassy in Cuba came out with an official statement, saying that the information is false and reminded people to only get their information from official Russian channels. |

| Batteries Are the Next Fault Line in the Defense Supply Chain Saurabh Ullal When China announced export controls on rare earth materials last October, Washington reacted with appropriate alarm. Editorial boards warned of supply disruptions, defense analysts warned of national security implications, and automakers throttled production lines. What received far less attention: China simultaneously imposed export controls on lithium-ion batteries, cathode materials, and graphite anode materials. Those battery controls, which were temporarily suspended for one year alongside the rare earth curbs as part of a negotiated truce between the two countries, threaten an equally critical supply chain. |
Batteries matter because they power everything the Pentagon needs to fight. |
| Mercedes-Benz Issues Recall for EQB Electric SUV Over Fire Risk  Mercedes-Benz ordered a recall for 12,236 EQB electric SUVs, which could catch fire due to an issue within the high-voltage battery system. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall population covers a subset of EQBs from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years. The NHTSA documents show that a combination of production and use-case conditions can cause an internal short circuit of a battery cell in the high-voltage battery system. That short circuit can potentially cause a fire.  The Cheaper Nissan Leaf Has Been Delayed Indefinitely Justin Banner | Motor Trend For those looking to get into a cheap electric vehicle, the new Nissan Leaf is a reasonable option. Unfortunately, as the U.S.’s electrified future remains in flux (and Nissan’s own future is still rather cloudy), there won’t be an even cheaper option on the table any time soon. Per a report from InsideEVs, the Leaf S and its sub-$30,000 price tag has been indefinitely delayed until 2027, if at all. The Leaf launched with the S Plus trim. |

| The Future of Nuclear Power Is Bright Brian Mark Weber Nuclear power has had a bad rap for some time now. There’s hardly anyone who hasn’t heard of Chernobyl or Three Mile Island, and the fear of leaking nuclear reactors has left the public shy about embracing nuclear power. As an alternative, green energy companies promised that wind and solar would deliver a safe and efficient source of power. But we soon found out there are serious limitations to an energy system reliant on sunny days or the wind. Even when conditions are ideal, so-called “green” energy sources can’t power data centers, military bases, or whole cities. | |

| Pro-Maskers Accidentally Admit MASKS DON'T WORK, Debunking Anthony Fauci and Years of Mandates It's obvious to anyone who paid even the slightest amount of attention to COVID outcomes that masks do not work. The evidence against masking is overwhelming, from the decades of studies that confirmed masks did not stop respiratory infections, to years of universal masking failing to stop or even moderately slow the spread of the virus during the pandemic. But there are a committed few, like Japanese soldiers continuing to fight years after the end of World War II, who are pushing for universal permanent masking... Those masks were "invented to stop [surgeons] and nurses from sneezing into the guts and the hearts of patients" not stop viruses or respiratory infections. |

| MLB Star Tommy Pham Criticizes Governor Newsom for Telling Black Audience He’s a ‘960 SAT Guy’ Noah Stanton There’s an old saying in politics: when you have to tell people you’re one of them, you probably aren’t. The harder a politician works to prove he’s just a regular guy, the more obvious it becomes that he’s anything but. It’s the political equivalent of showing up to a barbecue in a brand-new pair of work boots – the tags still dangling. |

| Kansas Invalidates Licenses for Transgender Drivers: 'There Are Just Two Sexes' Transgender drivers in Kansas have had their licenses invalidated under a new state law that went into effect on Thursday, which requires residents to change their gender identification to the sex they were assigned at birth. The notice from the state’s Department of Revenue was mailed to the roughly 1,700 drivers after the Legislature’s GOP supermajority voted to prohibit documents from listing any sex other than the one assigned at birth. |

| Why Exactly Did They
Destroy the Border? Victor Davis Hanson Why would any president destroy the U.S. southern border? The Left typically “pounces” on anyone daring to suggest that the Biden administration had green-lighted illegal immigration to gain new constituents for agendas that otherwise were without broad public support. Yet for years, Democrats and leftists themselves had written triumphalist books with titles like The Emerging Democratic Majority. And often they crowed that “Demography is Destiny.” ... The Left’s political agenda for illegal immigration was to be realized either immediately through compromised ballot integrity or soon enough by warping the census-based reapportionment of congressional districts. |

| Will the Gender Cult Implode? Mark Alexander Last week, Canadians witnessed in horror the deadliest school mass shooting since the 1989 Montreal Polytechnique attack – this one at a high school in the small village of Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia. A so-called “transgender” male identifying as a female, who was identified by news outlets as a “gunperson,” murdered six children after murdering two relatives. This attack was the latest by a gender confusion cult adherent. As I posted on our social media pages, “The transgender cult ideology not only destroys the lives of gender confused kids; some of those kids then grow up to become a threat to all of us.” That resulted in predictable outrage from the gender dysphoric crowd and their defenders. But their protests fell strangely silent Monday after a shooting at a hockey game in Rhode Island by another sociopathic man identifying as a woman. |

| Scott Bessent Lays Out Future of
Trump’s Tariffs, Trade Deals Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that revenue from tariffs would not drop, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling against the authority President Donald Trump’ invoked to levy his “Liberation Day” tariffs. Bartiromo questioned Bessent about claims made Friday by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget that the deficit would increase due to the loss of revenue. “Yes, so, Maria, let’s take a step back here. And Maya MacGuineas should be ashamed, and they should take the word ‘responsible’ out of her organization’s name,” Bessent responded. “Everything she told you was completely irresponsible and, look, where were they when the Biden administration blew out the deficit that we had a fiscal contraction last year? So she should be ashamed.” |
The IEEPA tariffs will be replaced in 3 days; “tariff revenue will be unchanged this year and in the future.” |
| Jamieson Greer Says Trump Still Has
'Very Durable Tools' for Tariffs, Trade Deals United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told “This Week” guest host Martha Raddatz on Sunday that, despite a Supreme Court ruling against his invoking of one legal authority, President Donald Trump still had multiple options to levy tariffs on other countries. Greer reminded Raddatz that the administration had authority for tariffs under other laws aside from IEEPA. [T]he president addressed this in his press conference on Friday. And he said that since we were looking at this and the possibility of having this tool removed, we had to look at backup plans. And we found ways to really reconstruct what we’re doing,” Greer said. |

American Manufacturing with Stroke of a Pen Gavin Wax If President Donald Trump is going to keep reshaping the global trade order, he needs tools that rest on firm statutory footing and a record that can survive courtroom scrutiny. That is why a quietly consequential step President Trump took in January matters far more than most commentators noticed.

| Witkoff Warns Iran Is ‘A Week Away’
from 'Bomb-Making Material' As Trump Weighs Action Special Envoy Steve Witkoff warned Saturday that Iran could be "a week away" from having "industrial-grade bomb-making material," raising urgent questions about what President Donald Trump could do next to address the looming threat. "It’s up to 60%," Witkoff said of Iran’s enrichment level. "They’re probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material." The "dangerous" proposition, Witkoff said on "My View with Lara Trump," comes despite Trump’s "zero enrichment" red line, which he accused Iran of violating "well beyond" what a civil nuclear program requires. |

| It Was All A Setup: FBI Internal
Emails Reveal Biden White House Coordinated with DOJ on Mar-a-Lago Raid Fox News on Friday obtained internal FBI emails proving that the Biden White House coordinated with the Justice Department to raid Mar-a-Lago. More than 3 dozen machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence. Court documents revealed that Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago, which was authorized by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland... It was recently reported that the FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago in 2022 but descended on Trump’s Florida estate amid pressure from Biden’s corrupt Justice Department. |

Brennan with Secret Request for Years-Old Evidence from U.S. Senate  Federal
prosecutors who are probing the weaponization of intelligence and law
enforcement against President Donald Trump and his allies have sent a
secret and rare request for evidence from the U.S. Senate regarding
former CIA Director John Brennan, signaling that they are zeroing in on
his questionable testimony going back nearly a decade on his
now-debunked efforts to tie Trump's 2016 campaign to collusion with
Russia. The overtures to the U.S. Senate and its intelligence committee
from U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones' team in Miami began over
the last month and were formalized in a written request for documents,
transcripts and testimony last Friday, according to multiple people
directly familiar with the conversations. |

| CIA's Historic Retraction of Intel
Reports Exposes Political Bias in Obama-Biden Spy Agencies Jerry Dunleavy First there were parents flagged at school board meetings. Then it was Catholics who preferred the traditional Latin Mass who were targeted for scrutiny. Now, the CIA's retraction of nineteen “politicized” intel reports on Friday – on the heels of the agency’s self-critique last year on its assessment of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 – has put the sharpest light yet on the infection of political bias inside American spy agencies dating back to the Obama era. The CIA’s retractions on Friday are the latest examples of the politicized nature of the intelligence community over the past decade, including a Biden Justice Department memo aimed at parents protesting at school board meetings, and more. |

| EPA to Reform Biden-Era Electric
Bus Program That 'forced unsafe and unreliable' Transportation The program provided funding for schools to transition diesel-powered buses to electric. The buses turned out to be unreliable and unsafe, with many schools unable to use the buses they purchased with the funding. “As was the case with so many of the Biden-era programs, the Clean School Bus program has been a disaster of poor management and wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. At the Trump EPA, we have zero tolerance for reckless spending,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in a statement. |

| Climate Alarmists Howl After EPA Rescinds ‘Endangerment Finding’ Paul Driessen The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finally rescinded the 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF) – the Obama-era EPA ruling that claimed carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions “endanger” human health and welfare. Within minutes, climate alarmists challenged it in court. The action follows an extensive review of scientific evidence, legal and constitutional principles, and 572,000 public comments (534,000 via mass comment campaigns). EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called it “the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history.” Was Climate Change the Greatest Financial Scam in History? Stephen Moore Environmental scholar Bjorn Lomborg recently calculated that across the globe, governments have spent at least $16 trillion feeding the climate change industrial complex. And for what? Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources. The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost countless lives in poor countries and made those countries poorer by blocking affordable energy. Oklahoma Smelter the First Fruits of Trump Aluminum Policy Duggan Flanakin Just months after winning a $500 million grant from the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, Century Aluminum announced plans to construct and operate a new aluminum smelter in Inola, Oklahoma, that will have a production capacity of 500,000 tons per year of aluminum, including 20,000 tons of high-purity aluminum for defense applications. |

Say it ain’t so, Zo. We know from the voter ID debate that marginalized Brown and Black people just can’t figure out how to get driver's licenses.

Now, however, the California governor seems to have an answer ready. In short, he suggests it’s not his fault that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Newsom’s latest revelation had been brewing for months, but it burst onto the world stage at the Munich Security Conference, where he told an audience – some of whom reportedly gasped – that the National Guard, federal immigration agents, and American law enforcement were akin to the Nazis in Germany. Oh, yes, he did. |

| Don't Misgender That Murderer Jim Treacher Another day, another trans shooter. But this one might be the craziest one so far. This man was named Robert Dorgan: A transvestite with Nazi tattoos? Well, it takes all kinds to make up a world. And this is what Mr. Dorgan did. Providence (RI) Journal: "Police have identified the suspect who killed two and critically injured three others in a Feb. 16 shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena [ice rink], before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves confirmed that the shooting was targeted and appeared to be a family dispute. The shooter was identified as Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito." Trans Shooters: The Patterns Are Well Established Eric Florack Here we go again, I note this morning with a sad shake of the head. Our Catherine Salgado’s piece on the Rhode Island hockey game shooter reports that he identifies as “transgender." "The lesson that comes from encouraging mentally ill people to indulge their insanity and to express violent hatred against those who do not affirm their illness is written in the blood of children killed at the high school hockey game." Catherine correctly asks, and I'll quote her because I can't do better than she does here, "How many transgender shooters does it take to stop leftists from lauding the delusion that one can change one’s biological sex and demand everyone agree?" I would only add it's time to treat the mental illness like we used to and not play into and reinforce the delusions. We're costing lives playing this game. It needs to stop. And perhaps we should be looking at treating transgenderism itself as a mental illness, again. The indicators are clearly there. |

Porn Sites Are ‘Educational’ for ‘Queer Kids’ Harold Hutchison Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites. The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth. |

| Black Professor Claims He Was
Victim of Racist Attack, Police Say That's Not What Happened A Virginia Tech sociology professor, Dr. Onwubiko Agozino, alleged white teenagers targeted him in a racist attack, but police found the juveniles were simply clearing snow from their truck. Investigators determined the juveniles had attended a gathering nearby. Two struggled to clear frozen debris from their truck bed because of the slope where the vehicle sat. The group then stopped where the road leveled out, and one pushed the remaining ice from the truck before they drove off. |

| Climate Alarm on the Run I & I Editorial Board It’s not sad in the least that the Washington Post has cut its climate “reporting” team down to five lonely reporters. It is, in fact, encouraging that maybe we’re seeing the winding down of decades of political and scientific villainy disguised as concern for our planet. Give us more, please. Not four years ago, the Washington Post announced it was “pleased to introduce” an “expansion of Climate coverage.” (Yes, Climate is so important to the Post that the “c” must be capitalized.) Readers were assured the newspaper was “a major investment that is commensurate with the story of climate (but no upper case here – why not?) change and its profound impact on humanity and the planet.” |

| Democrats Oppose SAVE
Act Because They Cannot Win Without Millions of Illegal Votes Rod Thomson The SAVE Act, which requires people to prove they are American citizens to cast a ballot in federal elections, is popular across all American demographics. Even 71 percent of Democrats support voter ID in recent Pew polling. And yet almost every Democrat in the House voted against it, and Democrats are holding together to filibuster a vote on it in the Senate. In the end, there are only nefarious reasons why Democratic politicians and their rabid, well-organized army of street hooligans oppose it. They want to cheat. |

| Trump Declares That Voter ID Will
Be Required to Vote in the Midterm Elections President Donald Trump declared Friday that voters will need to present identification to vote in the midterm elections this November, even if legislation does not get through Congress in time. Trump said in a social media that he has "searched the depths of legal arguments" on voter identification and will be presenting an "irrefutable" argument in favor of requiring it in the "near future." "There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not," he said. |

| Karoline Leavitt Lights Up
Hypocrite Obama for Spreading Panic About Voter ID Democrats are frantic to prevent the SAVE Act from passing, which it will do unless the usual handful of RINOs in the Senate refuse to do the right thing, and they have deployed the party’s biggest gun to whip up panic and urge its followers to pressure senators to vote against it. But while Obama may be a big gun, he’s an even bigger hypocrite, and President Donald J. Trump’s top spox called him out on Thursday. “You know how badly the Democrats are panicking when they bring out Obama to spread lies about voter ID. The fact is that nearly 90% of voters support: Requiring government-issued photo ID to vote.” |

| Rep Tim Burchett Spotlights Absurd
Irony of Dems Using Their Photo ID to Vote Against the SAVE Act Democrat politicians claim that requiring voter ID is akin to advancing an “extremist, white supremacist agenda,” never mind that 71% of their base supports the idea – according to Pew Research Center, 83% of Americans favor requiring voters to show ID to vote, including 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats. The Republican-led House passed the SAVE America Act this week, which would require proof-of-citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, and would also require voters to show photo identification when voting and when requesting a mail-in ballot. |

| Climate and Energy Experts Praise Trump’s Endangerment Finding Repeal Climate and energy experts have praised President Donald Trump’s recent elimination of former President Barack Obama’s Endangerment Finding, with several noting the freedom the action will bring to the auto industry and others stating this is only a beginning step. American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac told The Center Square that repealing the Endangerment Finding “for mobile sources is a necessary first step toward correcting course, restoring the Clean Air Act to its proper role, and putting reliable, affordable energy back at the center of federal policy." |

| Latest Jobs Report Explains Why
Dems Hate Trump So Much Issues & Insights The latest jobs report had good news for the country, but terrible news for the party of Big Government. In January, the economy added 172,000 private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was better than economists had expected (which seems to be a running theme in the Trump administration). And the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%. So, what’s the bad news for Democrats? The number of federal government jobs shrank by 32,000. Main Street Economy Catches Fire with January Jobs Report As Expert Credits Trump's Tax Certainty Washington skeptics were quieted Wednesday morning as the January jobs report beat expectations, revealing a resilient American workforce that added 130,000 jobs to start the year. While experts predicted a winter chill for hiring, the 4.3% unemployment rate tells a different story – one of a Main Street economy – showing renewed strength. According to Patrice Onwuka of the Independent Women’s Center for Economic Opportunity, this isn’t just a lucky break; it’s the direct result of "one big, beautiful bill" giving businesses the tax certainty they need to build, hire and grow. |

Urges State to Take Over Fulton County Elections After FBI Raid Georgia state Sen. Greg Dolezal, a leading voice on election integrity and a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is urging the state government to temporarily take over vote counting in Fulton County in the aftermath of an FBI raid that seized 2020 election ballots. "We passed a law in 2021 that set the triggers in place for the state election board to take over the elections for a temporary period of time if a county proves they're incapable of following Georgia law. And if there's ever a county that's proven it, it's Fulton County," Dolezal told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Friday. |

Storm "Fern" – Or Major Solar Flares? Paul Driessen Winter Storm Fern (January 23-27) dumped heavy snow and ice on more than 240,000,000 Americans across 40 states and 2,300 miles, beginning in Arizona and wrapping up in Maine. Scores died, including 20 in New York City, where Mayor Mamdani refused to close homeless camps or compel “unhoused residents” to move indoors, instead letting them rely on the “warmth of collectivism.” ... The real question: Will we learn lessons from Fern and heed warnings about the U.S. grid and too-heavy reliance on wind, solar, battery and related (heavily Chinese) technologies in time for the next Big One? |

Video Seeking to Lure Chinese Soldiers to U.S. Amidst PLA Turmoil The CIA deployed a new recruitment video in the Mandarin language, hoping to lure Chinese soldiers to defect amidst significant turmoil inside the People’s Liberation Army where two generals have been removed by President Xi Jinping. The new video, entitled "The Reason for Stepping Forward: To Save the Future," follows a series of videos dating to late 2024 that the Agency said have been successful in encouraging some Chinese to defect or cooperate with the United States. The new video "illustrates the real gulf between the Chinese elites who want what is best for their banks and the Chinese citizens who want what's best for their country," the official said. |

| Canada's MAiD Program Is About to
Get Even More Horrifying Amy Curtis Canada introduced its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program under the guise of letting terminally ill patients end their lives without pain and suffering. It was painted as humanitarian and compassionate. Many of us, this writer included, saw MAiD for what it was: a government-run euthanasia program. In the decade since its inception, MAiD has gone from helping the terminally ill to ending the lives of veterans, the poor, and the mentally ill. It's even being promoted to teens, and one Canadian MP said the program "enhances freedom." Canada’s medical assistance in dying program, (MAID) already one of the world’s most permissive euthanasia regimes, may soon extend to disabled newborns. That possibility is reigniting horror among pro-life advocates who warn of a slippery slope toward eugenics. |

A vaccine maker that hit the federal jackpot during COVID-19 acted caught off-guard when the former University of California San Francisco medical professor put his gripes into practice, halting its FDA application for a new mRNA flu vaccine based on what he considered weak trial design. |

I had the idea that we needed an independent journal that would allow independent practitioners, independent key opinion leaders to write papers that were clean – were bias free.” |

Unborn Children As Human Beings Puerto Rico’s governor has approved a highly debated change to the island’s criminal code that formally recognizes a fetus as a human being, a decision that critics say could have sweeping effects on health care and civil rights in the U.S. territory. On Thursday, Gov. Jenniffer González signed Senate Bill 923, an amendment to the territory’s Penal Code that alters the legal definition of a “human being” to include an unborn child at any stage of gestation. The change was adopted without public hearings, drawing criticism from medical professionals and legal experts. |

| A Cup (or 2 or 3) of Coffee or Tea
a Day Helps Keep Dementia Away Lindsey Leake Coffee and tea lovers, rejoice; decaf fans, rethink. Those cups of caffeine could lower your dementia risk, new research suggests. In a long-term, observational study of nearly 132,000 healthy adults, daily consumption of two to three cups of caffeinated coffee or one to two cups of tea was associated with lowering dementia risk, slowing cognitive decline and preserving cognitive function. The findings were published Monday in the Journal of the AMA. “We are not recommending that people who don’t drink coffee start drinking,” said the study lead author. “We are just seeing that for people who already drink coffee, the results are really reassuring.” Decaffeinated coffee didn’t yield the same neuroprotective benefits.  |

'sextinction' As Shocking Numbers Are Going Without Sex – and Social
Media Are Partly to Blame Rikki Schlott People are experiencing extended periods of sexlessness. In the US, a staggering 1 in 3 men and 1 in 5 women have not had sex in the past year, according to the General Social Survey. Testosterone levels are plummeting. Loneliness is at record highs. Like so many problems, social media are at least partly to blame. “The idealization of impossibly high standards has coaxed men into believing that social media influencers with millions of followers may one day show interest in them. It has persuaded women to give the time of day only to men who are over six feet tall and astronomically wealthy,” sex neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh writes in a new book out Tuesday. |

| How the Dow Jones
All-Time High Compares to Stock Market Leaps Throughout History Jim Sergent The Dow Jones industrial average finished above 40,000 for the first time on Friday afternoon, doubling where the index hit shortly after Donald Trump became the 45th president. The Dow flirted with this latest milestone in April. But the historic peak was delayed by strong economic news, an upturn in March inflation data and statements from Fed officials suggesting interest-rate cuts wouldn't be coming soon... These big, round numbers don't mean much, but they do serve as a reminder that over time stock investments can pay off. The S&P 500 has returned about 10.6% annually for the past 100 years, according to analysis from Trade That Swing. |

Superpower Again. Here's How Trump Surprised the World Arthur Herman There’s one superpower that dominates the planet again, and it’s the United States. In just one year in office, President Donald Trump has catapulted the U.S. from a country that seemed on the brink of inevitable decline, into the American colossus that’s put the other great powers – especially China and Russia – in the shade, and now determines the tempo and direction of world events. What happened in Davos should set aside any doubts. In 24 hours, President Trump turned worldwide panic about possible U.S. military intervention in Greenland into worldwide relief with a framework for peacefully securing the giant island for generations to come. |

| How Did Democrats Get So Stupid? Derek Hunter There are some people who should be grateful that breathing is a reflex, because had it required any mental abilities whatsoever, they surely would have suffocated on the streets, having forgotten to do it. These people should be pitied, but Democrats hold them up as aspirational figures. I get why they do it. Democrats have very little to actually be proud of; what is disturbing, however, is that there are so many people even more dumb who fall for it. That there are so many people in this country who are so wildly ignorant enough to follow the political left over the cliff is not a shock; the public schools in Democrat-controlled cities have essentially been “ignorant factories” for decades. |

Speaking during an interview Friday on the Just the News Not Noise television program, Crawford pointed to labs raided by authorities in California in 2023 and Nevada a week ago, raising questions about the intent, oversight failures, and the potential risks posed by foreign actors. One of the labs was located in a vacation rental home near Las Vegas, a major metropolitan center frequented by vacationers. |

Freeze Brought Indoors to Curl Up on Couch A Kentucky family battling extreme cold temperatures on their farm over the weekend opened their home to a newborn calf that was struggling in the deep freeze. Hours later, the calf, fed and fluffed, took a spot on the couch with the Sorrell family’s two children. Their mom, Macey Sorrell, snapped some photos and later posted them to social media, and the cuteness did not go unnoticed. The calf was born outdoors in single digit temperatures on Saturday. |

| Slouching Towards Fort
Sumter? Victor Davis Hanson In the months before the April 12, 1861, firing on Fort Sumter, there were lots of sharp divisions in the North about the proper reaction to the first seven Confederate states that had already left the Union. Not all Unionists believed that war was inevitable. Some, in fact, were happy to be done with the departing South and thus see their stain of slavery gone from the Union. Similarly, others agreed that the emerging Confederacy was not worth the trouble and costs of war, and the secessionists could just form their own nation and stew in their own backward, servile juice. Something similar is emerging over Minnesota, the South Carolina of our age. |

| Minnesota’s ‘vouching’
Disaster Proves America Needs SAVE Act Jason Snead Minnesota’s election system stands as one of the worst in the nation, and its “vouching” policy is a prime example of why confidence in election security remains fragile. A new Fox News investigation reveals just how risky the vouching system is. Under the state’s rules, one registered voter can “vouch” for up to eight others, meaning these unverified individuals can walk into a polling place on Election Day, register, and vote without ever proving identity, citizenship, or residency. That policy creates an open door for confusion, mistakes, and fraud. Scandalously, state officials have done nothing to fix it. After all, they see it as a feature rather than a bug. |

| The Armada Has Arrived – Did the
U.S. Navy Just Go Dark for ‘Day One’ Strike on Iran? The Military Channel The world is holding its breath as the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has officially gone “dark” in the Indian Ocean. While heading toward the Strait of Hormuz to confront a surging crisis in Iran, the 100,000-ton supercarrier disabled its AIS transponders, entering a tactical state known as “Ghost Mode” or EMCON. Why is the U.S. Navy taking such a drastic step now? In this investigation, we break down the strategic logic behind President Trump’s “Armada”. With Iran currently in the grip of violent internal unrest and the regime threatening a “whirlwind” response to U.S. pressure, the Lincoln isn’t just patrolling – it’s positioning for a potential “Day One” strike. We look at how this deployment follows the successful, surgical blueprint used just weeks ago in South America. |

| Play Civil War Games, Win Civil War
Prizes: Trump Draws a Red Line for the Blue Cities Robert Spencer With Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and other hard-leftists out there trying to conjure up the spirits of Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson, President Donald Trump has just made it clear that he is not going to tolerate any more of this low-grade but escalating insurrection. “I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem,” Trump wrote on Saturday afternoon, “that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.” This apparently means that Trump intends to deny the Democrats what they want most: Trump sending the National Guard to restore order in cities where leftist leaders are using the lack of order as a political weapon, and are salivating at the chance of being able to claim that they’re holding the line for “our democracy” against the fascist Trump and his jackbooted thugs. |

| Trump: 'Scammer' Ilhan Omar Should
Be Jailed over MN's Billions in Fraud Amy Furr President Donald Trump had a fiery message for Minnesota’s Democrat leaders on Saturday, saying the fraud in Minnesota is bigger than initially projected. The president zeroed in on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) when he wrote in a Truth Social post, “The Theft and Fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the 19 Billion Dollars originally projected. The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it. ‘Scammer’ Illhan Omar and her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now or, far worse, send them back to Somalia,” he continued. |

The post, made on the social media platform X, fueled sharp divisions over ICE deportation raids launched since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. While some critics condemn the deportation of otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants, others are argue such "mass deportations" were not only Trump’s flagship promise, but also a norm among past Democratic administrations. |

| Who’s Funding COPAL, a Group on the ‘Front Lines of Anti-ICE Operations’? Tyler O'Neil Protests over two immigration enforcement-involved shootings have highlighted the agitators organizing against federal agents on the ground in Minnesota, and the organization Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Accíon Latina, or COPAL Education Fund, is a major player. COPAL describes itself as a group that works “to improve the quality of life of Latine families.” It also hosts a hotline for people to call when spotting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at work. The group also set up the Immigrant Defense Network, which trains “legal observers” to watch and report ICE. |

Attacks on ICE Agents Malinda Cook, a Virginia nurse anesthetist was fired this week after posting a series of disturbing TikTok videos in which she encouraged protesters to assault Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with drugs and other harmful substances... "Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end," Cook said in one video circulating online. "Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever," she continued, referencing a fast-acting anesthetic that can cause temporary paralysis. "Whatever. Virginia Legislators Demand Prosecution of Fired VCU Nurse Over Anti-ICE Posts "Firing her for what is basically calling for healthcare terrorism is sort of the easy thing, and I'm glad VCU did that, and I'm glad that they did it quickly," State Sen. Glen Sturtevant, R-Chesterfield, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. "Secondarily, we need to know what the law enforcement investigation is doing and how it's going to end, and I don't see how this woman does not get charged with something, whether it's state crime or whether or not [the] Department of Justice gets involved." "But she was, I mean, calling for poisoning federal law enforcement for political reasons, for just doing their job, which we can't abide by," Sturtevant said. |

"I certainly don't think a United States sitting senator should be holding the entire country and our economy hostage over the fact that he has some political disagreements with an investigation that the Department of Justice is overseeing," Leavitt said of Tillis on "Sunday Morning Futures." |

Canal in Another Victory for Trump’s Monroe Doctrine Revival Panama’s Supreme Court decision to boot a Chinese company from the strategic Panama Canal gives a boost to President Donald Trump’s effort to revive the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere aimed at reducing Chinese influence in Latin America. The ruling comes one year after President Trump zeroed in on Chinese influence in the country and the vital strategic waterway built by the U.S. more than a century ago. “China is operating the Panama Canal, and we didn’t give it to China,” Trump said in his inauguration address. “We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.” |

| Federal Judicial Manual Contains
Climate-Advocacy Materials Biasing Judges, Coalition of AGs Says A coalition of 27 Republican attorneys general is joining a growing chorus of criticism over climate activists providing one-sided material to judges that’s presented as an impartial scientific resource to train the judges in climate science. The coalition, which is led by West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, is demanding that material dealing with climate science be removed from a manual that’s utilized by thousands of federal judges and published by a federal agency. The coalition members argue the material is ideologically biased in favor of plaintiffs suing energy companies over climate change. |

| Welfare Reform Boost: More States Enforce New 80-Hour SNAP Rules Ward Clark The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, has been in desperate need of reform for quite a while. While Democrat administrations (I'm looking at you, Barack Obama) have measured success by how many people are on these programs, during the Obama administration, the Department of Agriculture actually ran television and radio ads promoting SNAP – conservatives tend to measure success by how many people no longer need them. But incentives matter, too, and that's part of the ongoing rollout of SNAP reforms pushed by President Trump. Some of those reforms just went into effect on Sunday. |

| Team Canada Found to Have
Manipulated Competition That Cost American Shot at Milan Cortina Olympics An investigation by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) has found that Team Canada manipulated the outcome of the North American Cup in Lake Placid, New York earlier this month. Canada's actions denied American Olympian Katie Uhlaender a chance to earn enough points to qualify for the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Games. After Team Canada withdrew four athletes from the North America Cup, it reduced the amount of points the competition could award. The reduction made it mathematically impossible for Uhlaender to earn enough points to qualify. |

| Why the Operation to
Capture Maduro Has Generated So Much Concern in Moscow and Beijing Rick Moran In the early morning hours of Jan. 3, "Operation Absolute Resolve," the mission to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, was already well underway. Several MH-47G Chinook helicopters from the Army’s elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), the legendary "Night Stalkers," flew into Caracas at barely 100 feet off the ground in a blacked-out city. The city was dark because U.S. Cyber Command flipped the switch and cut power to the entire grid. They also wreaked havoc on Venezuelan air defenses in a tour de force demonstration of the real capabilities of electronic warfare. |

Like a teenager ignoring curfew, they seemed genuinely surprised when the consequences finally arrived. The North Star State has become ground zero for a bitter standoff between state officials and federal authorities. Protests have raged through Minneapolis streets, and anti-ICE demonstrators invaded a church service to harass a pastor they accused of working for immigration enforcement. |

Meanwhile, 11 of 13 tracked offenses were lower in 2025 compared to in 2024, while nine of the offenses declined by 10% or more, according to the report. “President Trump campaigned on Making America Safe Again and he is delivering,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Thursday in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Whether it be deporting criminal illegal aliens, supporting law enforcement officers, or finally being tough on criminals, the Trump Administration has employed a whole-of-government approach to drive down crime and make communities safer.” |

| Does the FACE Act Protect Churches? Tyler O'Neil After anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitators invaded a church in the middle of a service, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison suggested that they were protected by the First Amendment and did not violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, commonly known as the FACE Act. “People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace, and none of us are immune from the voice of the public,” Ellison told former CNN host Don Lemon when asked about the church invasion in an interview Monday. Lemon was present during the disruption and filmed the agitators in action. Ellison, the top law enforcement official in the state, went on to claim that it would be a “stretch” to prosecute the anti-ICE agitators under the FACE Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act. |

| ICE Went Above and Beyond to
Comfort Abandoned 5-Year-Old After Mother Refused to Take Custody Catherine Salgado Democrats are having dramatic, hysterical meltdowns about a five-year-old whom they say Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested. The truth is, the child’s criminal father abandoned him, after which ICE officers went out of their way to comfort and help the child. It is difficult not to loathe the people who did not care a snap of their fingers about the 400,000 children either lost or placed with abusive sponsors by the Biden-Harris administration, but who are now self-righteously pretending to be disgusted that ICE had to take custody of a small child. Even Kamala Harris, under whose watch so many children were trafficked and exploited, got in on the smearing of ICE. |

Under State's Self-Defense Laws: 'Recipe for disaster' Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents could open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws. The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers. A flabbergasted Resnik repeatedly challenged Mayes, cautioning that her remarks could be interpreted as a “license” to residents to shoot a federal agent. She retorted that she was merely stating a “fact,” not encouraging violence. |

He defended his indictments against Trump related to the 2020 election and classified documents as by-the-book and apolitical.  |

| Europe Fades As Latin America
Rises. Milei Is Leading the Way. Sarah Anderson One of the biggest takeaways from Davos this week was confirmation of something we already knew: Much of Europe is a shell of its former self. The continent's bureaucratic stagnation and cultural decline were on full display – even Emmanuel Macron's sunglasses couldn't hide it. Donald Trump pointed this out. "Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable. Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose upon America," he said during his own speech. "Friends come back from different places and say, 'I don't recognize it.' And that's not in a positive way. That's in a very negative way. I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good, but it's not heading in the right direction." |

into American Elections John Hayward The plot revolved around a program established by the 1990 Immigration Act called the Employment-Based Fifth Preference (EB-5) visa. It was ostensibly intended to encourage foreign investors to put big money into American business and job creation. Foreigners who invested at least $1.05 million (or $800,000 in certain economically-distressed areas) and created at least ten American jobs were issued a green card and permanent resident status. Applicants under this fast-tracked program were subjected to very little scrutiny. |

Takes Another Hit: FCC Issues Guidance on Political Equal Opportunities
for Broadcast Stations Sean Moran The FCC on Wednesday issued guidance to ensure that programming on broadcast television must comply with political equal opportunities requirements and end what one expert referred to as “DNC TV,” Breitbart News has learned exclusively. Decades ago Congress put protections in place through the Communications Act of 1934 to ensure that broadcast television ensures equal access to legally qualified candidates for office regardless of political affiliation. Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidates to use its facilities, then it shall provide equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office. |

| Pam Grier’s Claim of Witnessing
Ohio Lynching on ‘The View’ Fact-Checked as False Cole Harrison The real battle for America isn’t one of bullets, but of stories. It’s a bitter contest between objective, verifiable truth and the emotionally convenient “personal truths” – whatever those are – that the left now treats as gospel. One side believes in a shared reality built on facts. The other champions the power of narrative, where a story’s political usefulness is far more important than its accuracy. This is a dangerous game. Compelling personal anecdotes can be powerful tools for propaganda, especially when broadcast to millions without a shred of scrutiny. When fabricated, they become a poison designed to gin up resentment, validate a political agenda, and convince entire generations that America is a land of unrelenting evil. A recent, nationally televised spectacle provides a perfect, and frankly pathetic, example of this tactic in action. |

(Starting With Your Toilet) Stephen Green  Everything
went wrong -- as so many things did -- during the administration of
President George H.W. Bush, who put his signature on the Energy Policy
Act of 1992, passed by the Democrat-dominated Congress. It was one of
those feel-good laws that didn't feel so good once its provisions
kicked in, particularly those low-flow toilets that didn't, you know,
flush. The law slashed the legally allowed water volume for new toilets
from the standard 3.5 gallons (or even more for older toilets) to just
1.6. Early models were so bad that people often resorted to flushing
three or four times to get the job done, using more water than the
original models that worked. Things got so bad that Americans started
smuggling toilets in from Canada. From there, things got worse. |

Group to Stop Pressuring American Companies A coalition of Republican attorneys general, led by the state of Florida, said Wednesday that a major climate group may be violating their states’ antitrust and consumer protection laws by artificially pressuring companies to adopt climate activist policies, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Wire. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier warned the Boston-based nonprofit organization Ceres that it may be illegally pressuring companies to adopt net-zero policies. He said the organization was pursuing policies that were an “assault on American families and businesses.” Ceres is an advocacy group that says it is “working to accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more just, and resilient world.” |

Second, for his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” which was ostensibly intended to educate the public about global warming. The only problem is that 20 years later, all of his “inconvenient truths” have been thoroughly debunked. |

| Why Do We Let Commie Chinese Pilots
Train in America? Catherine Salgado It should be a fairly self-evident proposition that allowing military affiliates from our number one enemy to train here is a bad idea. And yet that is exactly what we do, according to an expert on Communist Chinese infiltration of the USA. If we train Chinese pilots in the U.S., we are helping the Chinese Air Force out. Considering that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is extremely open about hating the United States and aiming to usurp our place on the world stage, even periodically threatening military action, we shouldn’t be allowing anyone connected to the Chinese military to train here. After all, the CCP reportedly told its people it was entering a war phase with the U.S. back in 2019, and CCP infiltration of our institutions has intensified in recent years. Why make it easier for them to sabotage us? |

"The Utah Code affords victims of a crime ‘the right to a speedy disposition of the charges free from unwarranted delay caused by or at the behest of the defendant,’" Neiman wrote in a court filing. |

| Trump Says it 'Is Too Late' to Stop
the White House Ballroom Construction Amid Lawsuit President Donald Trump said Sunday that it was "too late" to halt construction of a new ballroom at the White House, despite a newly filed lawsuit challenging the project. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the ballroom as "a GIFT (ZERO taxpayer funding) to the United States of America," estimating its cost at $300 million and saying it was financed through private donations. Trump said the lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, criticizing the group for filing it after construction was already underway. |

| Somali Official Shows
How Entrenched the ‘Fraud Pipeline’ Really Is Derek VanBuskirk | Daily Caller A Somali lawmaker described to the Daily Caller how his government functions as a “fraud pipeline,” siphoning U.S. tax dollars from foreign aid, health care and day care into one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world. Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, a sitting member of the Somali Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of the People, told the Caller the corruption surfacing in Minnesota and across the United States did not emerge spontaneously, but is a downstream consequence of Somalia’s deeply entrenched system of corruption. |

Now, 50% of that wealth has left – taking their income tax revenue, sales tax revenue, real estate tax revenue, and all their staffs (and their salaries and income taxes) with them.” |

| Who Funds the Groups Harassing ICE
Agents in Minnesota? The Left's Premier Foundations and Dark Money Networks Have Given Millions Jessica Costescu, Chuck Ross When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. |

Quickly to Investigate Cash-In-Luggage Exodus from U.S. Airports Two powerful committee chairmen in Congress are moving quickly to investigate why Somali immigrant couriers were moving hundreds of millions of dollars out of U.S. airports in their luggage to overseas destinations the last few years, and whether there is any connection to a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota or terror groups in their native country in Africa... “As we've started our investigation, we're already bumping up against the federal government, which says they have an active investigation,” Paul said during an interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show. “And whereas I can investigate for facts, I can't put people in jail. So if the FBI is currently investigating this, or certain members of the government are, it may be delayed, as far as me being able to bring individuals who may shortly be, you would think under indictment.” |

| DHS Demands Minnesota Honor ICE
Detainers for 1,360 People, Cites Criminal Cases The Department of Homeland Security is calling on Minnesota officials to honor federal immigration detainers for more than 1,360 people in state custody, saying Gov. Tim Walz has released nearly 470 individuals with criminal charges or convictions since President Trump took office. In a statement Tuesday, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of refusing to cooperate with ICE enforcement. “Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans,” McLaughlin said. |

| Well, Well, Well, Look What Tim Walz Signed Into Law in 2020… "MN law §609.066: Officers can use deadly force if a driver accelerates toward them, creating immediate life-threatening danger. No need to wait for impact – they can act based on apparent intent & proximity." It’s real. Under Minnesota Statute 609.066, peace officers may use deadly force only when a reasonable officer believes it’s necessary to protect against death or great bodily harm. And it’s all based on the totality of circumstances known at the moment, not some hindsight debate after the fact. |

| Trump Administration Ends 35-Year
Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, Requiring Departure by March 17 There’s an old saying about houseguests and fish – after three days, both start to stink. Now imagine 35 years. That’s how long Somali nationals have enjoyed Temporary Protected Status in the United States, a program designed for short-term emergencies that somehow became a permanent fixture. What began in 1991 amid Somalia’s civil war transformed into a decades-long arrangement that successive administrations lacked the political will to address. I don’t know about you, but where I come from, “temporary” doesn’t mean “until everyone forgets about it.” |

| New York City Lost Nearly 5,000
Businesses Last Year New York City lost nearly 5,000 businesses early last year as employers closed their doors or left for other low-tax states, according to a new report. The analysis comes as newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes to hike business taxes to foot the bill for his agenda. The report, released Thursday by the Economic Development Corporation, showed more than 3,500 new businesses opened their doors in New York City during the second quarter of the fiscal year but that was offset by a loss of about 8,400 employers. That's the weakest quarter for business formation since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the report's authors said. |

| Trump Is Right: Obamacare Made ‘Fat
Cat’ Insurers Rich While Patients Beg for Scraps Americans for Limited Government After years of Washington politicians lining the pockets of insurance companies and anointing them “essential partners,” President Trump has called out the insurance monopoly for what it is. “Let the money go not to the big fat cats and the insurance companies that made 1,700 percent over a short period of time,” President Trump said. “Let the money go directly to the people, where they can buy their own health care.” The big health insurance companies that have gorged themselves at the Obamacare trough are finally being put under the spotlight and held to account. While these companies have grown richer, patients have been left paying ever-increasing premiums and deductibles with steadily decreasing care in return. |

| The End of Green Energy Joel Kotkin Not long ago, all right-thinking liberals were sure that fossil fuels would soon become “stranded assets” as The Guardian once put it. Hydrocarbon-based energy sources, the thinking ran, would become ever more worthless as the world entered a bright renewable future. Yet as President Trump’s takeover of Venezuela demonstrates, there is, in fact, a lot of life left in those deposits; as the progressive American Prospect recently lamented, the “fossil-fuel empire” has struck back. |

| Never Give Up Your Guns:
Venezuela’s Brutal Interior Minister Touts the State’s Monopoly on Arms The leader of the armed thugs known as “colectivos” in Venezuela touted the state’s “monopoly on arms” as a tool for keeping the population “calm.” The colectivos serve Maduro as his enforcers with guns that intimidate, and when necessary, kill any political opposition among the population. The National Rifle Association couldn’t have written a better commercial for those who may be agnostic on gun ownership in America as to why firearms in the hands of everyday people is a necessity to counter dictators and tyrants. Venezuela’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello runs the colectivos. The U.S. has put a $25 million bounty on his head. Undeterred, he’s bragged on video about the disarmed state of the people in Venezuela, that he says is, “contributing to the calm.” |

The proposal, known as the “South Carolina Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA),” reflects a proactive effort to block what supporters describe as “opportunistic lawsuits” that seek to hold honest businesses, like South Carolin-based FN America and Palmetto State Armory, liable for criminal misuse of their products. |

Inflammatory Terms' The man who calls ICE the "Gestapo" and said Minnesota was at "war" with the federal government is now saying he has never used inflammatory language about the shooting that happened yesterday. Then he called Secretary Noem an executioner. ... As Democrats around the country are calling an ICE agent at whom a car sped and then hit a "murderer," Walz announced that he was calling out the National Guard to protect Minnesotans against "rogue" federal agents. |

| Mastermind of $250M Minnesota
Welfare Fraud Ordered to Forfeit Luxury Goods The founder of a Minnesota-based nonprofit who was convicted of masterminding a $250 million welfare fraud scheme was ordered by a judge last week to forfeit luxury goods obtained with the spoils of her corruption. Aimee Bock, who was the brains behind the Feeding Our Future scandal, was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery, and conspiracy in connection to the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the United States, the New York Post reported. The 44-year-old, along with dozens of mostly Somali co-conspirators, siphoned pandemic relief funds from a federal programs intended to feed children in need. |

| Criminals Exploiting Aid Agencies
in Every State, Fraud Experts Warn The massive fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid program has been replicated across the country, with criminals taking advantage of the lax policing of aid payments for years, according to fraud experts.

| Report: Newsom’s Lack of Oversight Cost California $33B in Fraudulent Unemployment Payments As the multi-billion-dollar Medicaid fraud scandal in Minnesota continues to develop, another much larger fraud scandal is potentially brewing in California. A recent report from the state’s independent auditor has revealed that upwards of $33 billion in federal and state taxpayer funds have been pilfered from the Golden State’s unemployment insurance system over the last six years due to lax oversight and inaction by Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) administration. |

| Guyana: The Little Caribbean
Country with a Big Role to Play in Trump’s Regional Shift With the U.S. capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro in a bold Jan. 3 military raid and a large naval force still prowling the southern Caribbean to ensure that Maduro’s successors cooperate with the Trump administration, other subtle, but key, developments in the region can be overlooked. Among under-the-wire events is a December 2025 agreement between the United States and Venezuela’s neighbor, Guyana. That agreement could have profound implications, not only in the immediate context of unfolding events in Venezuela, but also for the long-term execution of the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, unveiled in November 2025 by U.S. President Donald Trump. |

| Dick Blumenthal’s BCCA Bill is a
Back Door Ploy to Enable Infinite Firearm Purchase Waiting Periods Larry Keane Introduced by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), S.3458, titled the Background Check Completion Act of 2025, is being sold with a simple, catchy bumper-sticker promise: “No check, no gun.” In reality, it’s simply political theater and has the potential to create unnecessary hurdles for law-abiding Americans while doing nothing to improve public safety... This would be a dramatic change that would repeal the long-standing three-business-day Brady Bill safeguard Congress included to prevent government delay from becoming government denial. That’s not a “fix” to background checks. It’s a policy choice to convert bureaucratic backlog, incomplete records and agency non-responsiveness into a de facto infinite waiting period with no meaningful end point. |

| Thanks to Germany's Insane Green
Energy Laws, the Berlin Blackout Just Got More Dangerous Amy Curtis We told you how a Leftist, Antifa-linked eco-activist group in Germany sent Berlin into a blackout during the freezing winter. The Vulkan Group published a letter taking responsibility for the terrorist attack on Berlin's energy infrastructure, writing, "In the greed for energy, the earth is being depleted, sucked dry, burned, ravaged, burned down, raped, destroyed. The aim of the action is to cause significant damage to the gas industry and the greed for energy." It also said it was "cutting off power to those in power." How harming innocent Berlin residents and businesses is harming those "in power" is beyond us, but the Left doesn't care who they hurt in pursuit of their agenda. |

| Washington State’s Climate Change
Program Benefits Inflated by a Factor of 1,000!!! Committee to Unleash Prosperity Does anyone in the climate change industrial complex ever tell the truth about ANYTHING? Here’s the latest whopper lie from Washington state’s Commerce Department, which has spent $1.5 BILLION in recent years on reducing carbon dioxide emissions: “Due to a data entry error, Commerce reported that 7.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced as a result of eight rebate projects funded by the Climate Commitment Act supporting home electrification and appliance rebates for low-income and vulnerable communities. The corrected data now estimates that 78,000 tons of emissions will be reduced over the lifetime of those projects.” |

| Scotland’s Biggest Offshore Wind
Farm Wasting Three Quarters of Energy The Seagreen wind farm off Scotland’s east coast is squandering vast amounts of its power because there is not enough grid capacity to transport it to areas of the country where it is needed most. This is likely to have sparked hundreds of millions of pounds in so-called constraint payments for the wind farm, which is run by Scottish energy giant SSE and France’s TotalEnergies. These payments are made under a Government scheme to encourage renewables, aimed at guaranteeing cash for green power even if it cannot be used. |

| Chris Wright – We’re in the Greatest Malinvestment in Human History Chris Wright, the United States Secretary of Energy, marvels that people can spend so much to achieve so little: “Germany invested half a trillion dollars, more than doubled the capacity of its electricity grid – and today produces 20% less electricity than before that investment, selling it at three times the price.” |

| Trump Keeps Several U.S. Coal
Plants Running, Defying ‘End of Coal’ Predictions The Trump administration last week blocked plans to shut down a generator unit at a coal-fired power plant in Colorado. The order, which will keep the unit running through March 2026, cites analyses finding that the grid would be unable to supply enough electricity during periods of high demand, such as a major storm. “Keeping this coal plant online will ensure Americans maintain an affordable, reliable, and secure supply of electricity. |

| “Battle of the Sexes” Another Blow
Against Feminism and “Transgender” Lunacy Selwyn Duke In case you didn’t hear about it, and you might not have given that the outcome wasn’t media-narrative friendly, there was another tennis “Battle of the Sexes” yesterday. And, boy, it was not a good night for feminism and the “transgender” agenda. Aryna Sabalenka, a Belarusian and currently the world’s number one female player, took on notorious Australian tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios in the United Arab Emirates. Kyrgios, currently 671 in the men’s rankings ... I won’t bore you with the build-up to the match, as some of what was said by both players was designed to generate interest (e.g., Sabalenka predicting “I’m going to kick his ***”). But the interest ended with the “unwoke” result: Despite looking a bit tired and out of condition, Kyrgios won 6-3, 6-3, though the handicap did make it competitive (which is the whole idea). |

| Harvard President Admits Allowing
Campus Activism Was the ‘Wrong’ Way to Go Sarah Holliday Only after years of prominent and disruptive campus activism, Harvard University President Alan Garber has confessed: universities, including his own, “went wrong” by permitting professors to inject their personal political views and ideological agendas into the classroom. He argued that this practice has led to free speech being chilled, open debate being discouraged, and the creation of intimidating environments where many students hesitate to challenge authority figures or speak openly about their own views. |

| DOT Exposes Illegal Truck Licenses,
Threatens $50M NC Cut The Trump administration is moving to withhold nearly $50 million in federal transportation funding from North Carolina after a federal audit found the state illegally issued a majority of its non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses, putting public safety and federal compliance on a collision course. According to a Department of Transportation briefing released Thursday, federal inspectors determined that 54 percent of North Carolina’s reviewed non-domiciled CDLs were issued in violation of federal law, triggering a formal ultimatum from Washington. |
