On Monday, masked anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis assaulted independent journalist Jorge Ventura and a colleague while they were filming an anti-ICE checkpoint.
“I was just assaulted by left-wing activists in South Minneapolis for reporting on a roadblock protesters set up and checking cars for ID’s,” Ventura stated on X. “The activists grew angry when I shot footage of them turning around some vehicles that appear to be ICE agents, they tried to steal my phone and shove me back into my vehicle,” he reported, adding that they also assaulted Erik Herrera, another photographer who was on the scene.
“They tried to intimate me and forced to leave by shoving,” Ventura reported, adding, “as a journalist I have the right to be here and report.”
The brutal murder of a family by a teenager in 1988 led to his being sentenced to die in prison, but new Democratic policies have led to the murderer being set free.
David Francis Brom, now 54 years old, used an axe to kill his 41-year-old mother, 41-year-old father, 13-year-old sister, and 11-year-old brother when he was only 16 years old.
Over the last 25 years, gunmen and gunwomen have launched around two dozen fatal attacks at Christian churches across the nation. As demonstrated by the invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota last month, even congregations that haven’t encountered an armed threat still face mounting hostility against their faith and parishioners.
There’s no denying houses of worship are targets for violence. There’s also no denying that death tolls in church shootings were kept at a minimum thanks to the heroic actions of good guys with guns like Jack Wilson, Caleb Engle, and Jeanne Assam.
According to a recent report, the White House is set to start using artificial intelligence to write new transportation regulations. It’s no longer a question whether this technology will have power over our lives — that moment has arrived.
As its influence grows, AI will be the source of even more heated political debates. Some on the left are horrified about the lack of DEI and the hateful expression in AI, while the White House has claimed it is too woke. Some say AI is scraping from predominantly Western sources, so it is too Western. Some Christians are horrified by the implications of what happens when you ask generative AI moral and spiritual questions, while others seriously argue that AI can be an ethical counselor and decisionmaker. The AI debates, be they political or moral, are all framed around competing assertions of truth.
Most Americans would assume that federal judges — ostensibly some of the most important arbiters in the U.S. judiciary system — would have a pretty good grasp of the basic facts.
Things like who, what, when, where, and why are all rather important topics when presiding over any tenuous legal matter.
Alas, every once in a while, judges can apparently get those very important factoids wrong, too.
And it’s raising a lot of questions.
At the Lords Committee Stage of the Crime and Policing Bill today, Peers have lined up to back a major bid to overturn the abortion up to birth clause in the Bill, and reinstate in-person consultations with a medical professional prior to an abortion taking place at home.
The speeches from the debate today can be viewed here. Full details regarding the amendments considered today are available in the press release published yesterday here.
Baroness (Rosa) Monckton, who has tabled an amendment to remove the abortion up to birth clause from the Crime and Policing Bill, said:
“I was pleased to be able to speak for many peers and, I believe, most of the country today in opposing the extreme proposal to remove the legal deterrent against women aborting their babies up to birth.”
“Such a change in the law would seriously endanger women’s lives because of the risks of self-induced late-term abortions away from a clinical context, and likely lead to increased numbers of viable babies’ lives being ended. It would also decriminalise self-induced sex-selective abortions. I very much hope peers will support my amendment at Report stage and stop these proposals from becoming law.”
A Portland Antifa blog has posted a claim of responsibility for attacking all the vehicles in an Enterprise rental lot. This blog has a long record of far-left political violence and intimidation.
Do you recall Ed Martin? He was anticipated to be the next United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, until Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) derailed his full-time nomination; he had been serving in an interim capacity until May 2025. But he wasn’t gone for long; he was named a pardon attorney and helmed the weaponization task force inside the Trump Justice Department. He was the point of the lance on the ongoing probe into former President Biden’s use of the autopen.
“Weaponization [Working Group] efforts ended on New Year’s Eve,” a DOJ insider told me.

Traitorous Senate Republicans joined Democrats to keep funding the U.S. African Development Foundation, even after the agency’s own leadership acknowledged corruption and DOGE flagged it for fraud.
“The USADF Director of Financial Management’s fraudulent acts betrayed the trust of the American people,” said Acting Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Sean M. Bottary. “As the Inspector General with continued oversight jurisdiction over U.S.-funded foreign assistance, we will utilize our global investigative reach to aggressively detect and disrupt those who defraud taxpayer dollars programmed overseas.”
🚨 BOMBSHELL from Sen. Mike Lee on the Senate floor:
The U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) is a publicly admitted fraud machine—and Congress just voted to KEEP funding it!
This morning, DOJ announced USADF’s CFO, Mathieu Zahui, charged and pleading guilty to TWO… pic.twitter.com/KVqbBlrLNw

Minneapolis is a warzone. It’s been that way since an ICE agent shot Renee Good on January 7, after she rammed into him with her car. On January 24, Alex Pretti was shot by Border Patrol agents—both people were interfering with police actions, and their reckless actions got them killed. They weren’t executed. They were morons who did the equivalent of looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Still, the left-wing lynch mobs, most of them exclusively white crusty boomers and shrill progressive women, have done everything they could to disrupt ICE raids. They have an elaborate system of encrypted chats that coordinate unlawful interference operations to enforce federal immigration law. They’re psychos. And now, we have these checkpoints. These clowns block cars to run a search on people’s license plates.

A 2014 email exchange between Plaskett and Epstein’s former executive assistant, Lesley Groff, reveals Plaskett accepted an invitation to the island.
Virgin Islands Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett is alleged to have been a visitor to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, according to Epstein-related documents recently released by the Department of Justice.
Pop star Billie Eilish made her Song of the Year acceptance speech purely about politics Sunday night at the Grammys, barely thanking anyone while saying “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
Donning an anti-ICE “ICE Out” pin and standing next to her brother and songwriting producer partner Finneas, Eilish said “It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. We need to keep speaking up and keep protesting. Our voices really do matter and the people matter.”
“And fuck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”
Boston’s Mayor Wu Has a Great Idea, if Destroying the Nation Is a Great Idea – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
In a brief video clip that resurfaced on Saturday and quickly went viral, Boston’s far-left Mayor Michelle Wu summed up what no doubt many of her fellow leftists take to be axiomatically true. If it even came close to being implemented, it would destroy the United States utterly, but after all, what do leftists care about preserving what they think of as a racist, imperialist entity existing on stolen land? And so as far as they’re concerned, the destruction of the nation wouldn’t be a bug, but a feature.
Northwestern University has convinced a federal judge in Chicago to toss a lawsuit filed against the school alleging it discriminates against white men in its faculty hiring process.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis, an Obama-appointee, who agreed with Northwestern’s argument that the plaintiff organization, Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences, lacked standing because it failed to show its members had actually applied for open positions at the law school, Reuters reported.
Sen. John Fetterman is again breaking with his party on immigration enforcement, openly rejecting Democratic efforts to target ICE while forcefully condemning rhetoric that compares federal agents to Nazis.
In a wide-ranging Fox News interview, Fetterman pushed back on claims that a government shutdown or legislative brinkmanship would meaningfully restrain Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arguing instead that such tactics mislead the public while putting federal workers at risk.
RAIR reports here on a recent refusal of a Muslim American to express support for the United States.
An NYPD recruit currently training at the police academy has reportedly requested a religious exemption from saluting the American flag—asserting that his Islamic beliefs prohibit him from doing so because he may only praise Allah.
Key Takeaways
- Ezra Klein, a liberal, faced a disruption from anti-Israel activists during his talk at Sarah Lawrence College where he was labeled a ‘Nazi’ and ‘genocide supporter’ despite being a known critic of Israeli policies.
- The event, ironically themed ‘Building Bridges,’ aimed to promote dialogue but was overshadowed by the protesters’ refusal to engage with Klein, who attempted to discuss the situation in Gaza with them.
Agitators have taken to the streets of Los Angeles for the second night in a row to demonstrate against ICE and Homeland Security operations in the city. Well over 1,000 individuals participate in what has been labeled as an “ICE Out” rally.
On Saturday’s The Weekend, MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez asserted that liberal journalist Don Lemon is being prosecuted by the Donald Trump administration because the President doesn’t like journalists who present facts and criticize him.
The show also tried to tie in race, with co-host Eugene Daniels teasing the story: “Today Trump’s immigration crackdown extends to the free press with federal agents arresting two black journalists, including Don Lemon, after documenting a church protest.”
After beginning the show by discussing the merits of the case, co-host Jackie Alemany turned to Barron-Lopez and posed: “Can you talk about why the White House is so obsessed with Don Lemon in particular?”
A growing number of Democrat rogue judges are waging open war on the rule of law, substituting ideology for statute and personal politics for public safety. By blocking deportations, freeing violent offenders, and nullifying duly enacted laws, these judges are not “checking power,” they are seizing it, overriding the will of voters and lawmakers alike. The result is predictable: communities put at risk, law enforcement undermined, and a justice system that rewards contempt for the law while punishing those tasked with enforcing it. This is not judicial independence; it is judicial sabotage—an assault on law and order and on the American way of life itself, which depends on equal application of the law, not rule by robe.
Seattle’s communist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced plans to mobilize the city’s police force to gather intelligence on ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations and share that information with “community partners” on the streets.
Wilson said she will also bar federal immigration officers from utilizing city-controlled property, “including parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, garages, and Seattle Center – for civil immigration enforcement.”
Monica Cannon-Grant is a Boston-based Black Lives Matter activist who has pleaded guilty to scamming more than $100,000 in Covid funds and other resources in order to fund her lavish lifestyle.
Yesterday, she was sentenced to six months of home confinement followed by four years of probation. No jail time.
Apparently, some people are actually above the law.
Don Lemon is quickly finding out that consequences apply under the Trump administration. As RedState reported, the self-described “journalist” has been arrested for his part in allegedly storming a church, harassing congregants, and refusing to leave when asked by the pastor.
The medical watchdog group Do No Harm published a report this week, disputing claims made in a widely-cited study conducted by economists Michael Frakes and Jonathan Gruber that suggests increasing the share of Black physicians in military medical facilities leads to better outcomes for Black patients.
Okay, this might be the most bizarre news story you have read this week or this year, for that matter.
A new report from France has revealed that a hospital was evacuated after a patient was discovered to have a WWI artillery shell shoved up his butt.
According to local authorities in France, the man arrived in the hospital with extreme pain in his anus.
After further evaluation of teh patient, the surgeons were shocked that he had a century-old artillery shell shoved up his anus.
The latest release of the Epstein files includes a 2013 email from the disgraced financier and sex predator to himself about the Microsoft co-founder in which Epstein claims Gates caught an STD after “sex with Russians girls” and wanted to slip antibiotics to his wife instead of telling her. Gates insists the claims are “completely false.”
In the 2013 email — written seemingly in the voice of one of Gates’ top advisers, Boris Nikolic, but sent only to Epstein himself — the disgraced financier and convicted sex predator wrote that the Microsoft co-founder was trying “to get drugs in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls.”
A new report from the Federal Communications Commission’s Office of the Inspector General revealed that California, Texas, and Oregon obtained $5 million in reimbursements for the Lifeline program for 116,000 dead people.
“Most troubling, at least 16,774 of the deceased Lifeline individuals were first claimed by a Lifeline provider after they died,” the OIG wrote. “Providers claimed more than $500,000 in Lifeline subsidies for purported service to these subscribers.”
California alone provided phone and internet service to more than 94,000 dead people.
