A Virginia state delegate has introduced legislation that would bar the hand-counting of machine-readable ballots in most circumstances.

Delegate Marcia S. Price introduced HB 968 on January 13 which would prohibit ballots “from being counted by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized by law.”

The legislation would amend the state code to add that, “In ascertaining the vote, the officers of election shall use ballot scanner machines to count machine-readable ballots and shall not count machine-readable ballots by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized for by law.”

Pastors Should Value Religious Freedom Over Illegal Immigration– thefederalist.com

The Sunday invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minneapolis, brings Christians in America to another inflection point: Will Christian leaders and pastors stand up for believers’ freedom to worship or cower in the face of the leftist pro-illegal immigration onslaught? Worse yet, will they join in it?

Prominent Christian leaders and pastors (legitimate and otherwise) have often advocated vigorously for immigrants, both legal and illegal. In some cases, leaders affirm a commitment to rule of law but place such a heavy emphasis on compassion and kindness that actual enforcement of the law seems impossible in their framework. More often than not, these leaders present illegal immigrants as law-abiding, religiously faithful victims. In other cases, leaders support the violation of immigration law or its nullification. At the same time, religious groups have incentivized and supported illegal immigration while shuttling millions to migrants and migrant services.

This past Sunday, Democrat protesters stormed a church service in St. Paul, terrorizing mothers and children, accusing its pastor of supporting for immigration authorities.

Democrats are now defending these rioters by invoking the First Amendment—free speech protections they suddenly claim to cherish.

These are the same Democrats who tried to impeach a president over election-related remarks, who seek to criminalize so-called “hate speech” and who aggressively prosecute freedom-loving Americans for opposing their ideology or speak candidly about Islamic terror.

When mobs attack churches, it’s “free speech.”

Don Lemon, alongside anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota, barged into a St. Paul church during services on Sunday. The group of far-left activists disrupted the prayer service, chanting “ICE out,” all while Lemon live streamed the intimidation of Christians in their own sanctuary.

It wasn’t a spontaneous operation, as Lemon explained during a livestream. According to Lemon, the agitators — reportedly led by Nekima Armstrong, Daunte Wright, and others — had planned what they called “Operation Pull-Up.” Before the church invasion, Lemon live streamed a monologue previewing what was to come: These activists “surprise people, catch them off-guard, and hold them to account. And so that’s what we’re doing here, and then we’re — after that, after we do this operation, you’ll see it live. And these operations are surprise operations, again I can’t tell you where they’re going.”

MS NOW Fails At Fact-Checking Trump On St. Paul Church Storming– www.newsbusters.org

MS NOW White House correspondent Jake Traylor joined Tuesday’s Ana Cabrera Reports for a textbook example of how aspiring reporters should not do their job. Within the span of only one minute, Traylor would display an obvious hypocrisy on the usefulness of anecdotal stories and fail to fact-check President Trump on Sunday’s St. Paul church storming, because it was Traylor who needed to be fact-checked.

Traylor was on to discuss Trump’s reaction and state of mind when it comes to all that is going on in Minnesota when he declared, “We’re continuing to get different, you know, citizens sending in different images and videos of ICE agents acting in ways that appear to be unlawful, or at least quite confusing. And so for the president, in a lot of ways, it continues video after video to be difficult things to defend.”

Alluding to a recent Trump Truth Social post, Traylor continued, “We do know, though, that the president himself is watching a lot of this take place. Early this morning, the president posted about a recent protest that took place in Minneapolis at a church saying that the protesters, the president, alleged they were paid agitators, which is, of course, as you know, a baseless claim. But he said that they should be not just put in jail. But he said some of them should be kicked out of this country in entirety.”

On Monday’s edition of The View, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, actress Pam Grier was teed up by co-host Sunny Hostin to recall the racism she experienced while growing up in Columbus, Ohio in the 1950s. According to her, her mom would often have to get her and her siblings to avert their eyes lest they see a body hanging from a tree. But according to the Ohio Lynching Victims Memorial, the last lynching was in 1911. Other details about the story were questionable as well.

Fresh from defending discrimination against white people earlier in the show, Hostin teed up Grier to share her experiences with racism, specifically during her time in Columbus, Ohio:

But let me ask you this: because you’ve been the first so many times, but you were the first black woman on the cover of Ms. magazine in 1975. You paved the way for black female representation in the stunt industry as well.

Trump Announces Steep Tariffs On Denmark, European Nations Over Greenland Negotiations– trendingpoliticsnews.com

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced new tariffs on goods from eight European countries as part of an effort to secure U.S. acquisition of Greenland, which is currently a territory of Denmark.

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. It holds strategic importance due to its Arctic location, natural resources, and role in missile defense systems.

The U.S. has maintained a military presence there since World War II, including at Thule Air Base. Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland dates back to 2019, but the issue resurfaced in early 2025 with initial threats of tariffs if Denmark did not relinquish control.

Larry Krasner, the radical District Attorney of Philadelphia, threatened Wednesday to prosecute and jail any federal immigration officer accused of harming the city’s residents.

Krasner and a number of Democrat elected officials and community leaders gathered at Salt and Light Church in Philadelphia to discuss strategies to combat ICE activity in the city and in its court system.

Framing the issue as a battle of “good versus evil,” Krasner sent the following message to federal immigration enforcement: “We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I’m going to ask for it to be appropriately high.”

Philadelphia’s newly infamous Sheriff Rochelle Bilal echoed Krasner’s message, promising to bring “smoke” to ICE agents if they think they can come to Philadelphia and enforce immigration law without the Sanctuary City’s permission.
