California’s Governor Gavin Newsom urged Europeans on Tuesday to stop playing nice with US President Donald Trump over Greenland, “develop a backbone” and “punch him in the face.”

In blunt remarks to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, the prominent Democratic politician called Trump “weak” and said the European Union should “push back very aggressively” against the US leader.

“He’s good at exploiting weaknesses, but he backs down when he’s punched in the face,” Newsom said.

“You can’t play all sides. Enough of the niceties,” he added. “Stop trying to appease him. Fight fire with fire.”

How Mass Migration Destroyed Sweden’s Scandinavian Utopia– thefederalist.com

Not so long ago, Sweden used to be leftists’ favorite example of effective government: It had a generous welfare system, boasted a highly educated population, and just seemed a little classier and cleaner than most parts of the United States. True, it then had a small, homogenous population of law-abiding, productive citizens, but most admirers conveniently ignored this key detail.

In more recent years, far fewer people mention Sweden. If anyone mentions the country, it is usually to cite their soaring crime rates and terrorist attacks and the obvious connection with Sweden’s large number of unassimilated migrants from the Third World. Not only does this situation now threaten the livelihood for native Swedes, but also their reputable public entitlement system.

Philly DA Larry Krasner and Sheriff Rochelle Bilal Threaten to Arrest and Jail ICE Agents › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

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.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said the European Union is “not taken completely seriously” by world leaders because of its “suicidal migration policy” and “nonsense climate goals,” after a phone call on Monday with German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

According to the government’s press office, cited by the TASR news agency, Fico told Merz that he would send an open letter on Tuesday to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and circulate it to all EU prime ministers and heads of state, in which he would express concerns relayed to him following a meeting with U.S. President Trump at the weekend and offer solutions.

“I have proposed several solutions to the Federal Chancellor, and I hope that he will visit Slovakia soon, as he promised. We have something to talk about,” Fico said. He added that several hundred German companies operate in Slovakia and that the Slovak economy is particularly dependent on German economic development because of the high concentration of car production.

As sea temperatures and geopolitical tensions simultaneously heat up, Greenland’s strategic importance increases. Against this backdrop, the specter of American territorial expansion has emerged as a new factor that is complicating Arctic security.

The evolving security environment in the Arctic necessitates deeper American involvement in the region. Specifically, the United States needs to enhance its military presence in Greenland by improving regional air and missile defenses. Future developments could call for other actions, such as reopening closed bases and deploying more troops to Greenland.

After weeks of escalating tension, U.S. and Iranian officials faced each other Thursday at the U.N. Security Council, where America’s envoy renewed threats against the Islamic Republic despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to lower the temperature between the two adversaries.

The U.S. was joined by Iranian dissidents in rebuking the government’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests that activists say has killed at least 2,637 people.

“Colleagues, let me be clear: President Trump is a man of action, not endless talk like we see at the United Nations,” Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said in a statement. “He has made it clear that all options are on the table to stop the slaughter. And no one should know that better than the leadership of the Iranian regime.”

Iran is drowning in blood, yet the people refuse to break. As streets are reportedly lined with bodies and the slaughter intensifies, Iranians continue to meet live machine fire with open defiance. According to reports, the Kurdistan National Army has captured the Revolutionary Guards’ headquarters in Kermanshah—an extraordinary blow to the regime’s security apparatus. At the same time, the country’s financial system is cracking: five Iranian banks are said to be on the brink of collapse, including Bank Sepah, one of Iran’s three largest banks and the primary financial artery of the IRGC and the Iranian military, according to The Wall Street Journal. The regime is bleeding—militarily, economically, and morally—and yet the Iranian people continue to rise, signaling that this is no longer merely unrest, but a full-scale collapse unfolding in real time.

It’s what happens when you cater to woke nonsense and an authoritarian ethos grounded in political correctness: you end up defending pure nonsense. She’s a doctor; she knows what’s medically true. A biological fact is that there are only two genders, and only females can get pregnant. Not men. Trans women are men. They’re dudes. Stop pretending otherwise, but alas, here we are, and what makes this exchange between Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Dr. Nisha Verma yesterday even funnier is that the segue really wasn’t about that per se. It was a Senate hearing on abortion care.

A federal appeals court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to again detain and move toward deporting Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student who became a face of pro-Palestinian campus protests.

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia overturned a lower court order that had sprung Khalil from immigration custody, ruling that the New Jersey federal judge who ordered his release never had authority to hear the case.

In a 2-1 decision, the panel said Khalil’s legal team used the wrong court when they filed a habeas petition to challenge his detention.

Anti-ICE Activists’ Goal Is Ending All Immigration Enforcement– thefederalist.com

pgnewser January 16, 2026 0

Blurb:

A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative, narrative about ICE’s enforcement of immigration law congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military-style raids in otherwise peaceful communities, and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence that accompanies their enforcement activities.

Obviously, that narrative has gone into overdrive since the unfortunate killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Facts don’t really matter here; anti-ICE hysterics are impervious to the fact that Good and her partner were specifically engaged in illegal activity. One can argue law enforcement should have behaved differently, but you cannot say Renee Good was an innocent bystander — she put herself in harm’s way. You can’t impede federal officers enforcing the law, let alone suddenly lurch toward them in a two-ton vehicle.
