In his final hours as New Jersey governor, Democrat Phil Murphy issued 97 pardons and 51 commutations.

Among Murphy’s more controversial recipients of clemency was Harris Jacobs, the killer son of Democratic fundraiser and Atlantic City powerbroker Joe Jacobs. Jacobs is a friend of Murphy who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the failed 2024 Senate campaign of the then-governor’s wife, Tammy Murphy.

‘When politics pervades justice, the rule of law becomes subordinate to influence and power.’

Gavin Newsom clearly has his sights on a 2028 run for the White House. Why else would the outgoing governor of the failed state of California be in Davos this week? Yesterday, Townhall reported on how Newsom went on an unhinged rant about Donald Trump, Europe, and Greenland, and at some point he called Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent “smug.”

To that, this writer has to ask: Has Gavin Newsom met…Gavin Newsom?

But Bessent doesn’t need anyone to come to his defense. He took matters into his own hands and absolutely nuked Newsom from orbit.

Planned Parenthood Will Spend Millions for Abortions Up to Birth in Virginia– www.lifenews.com

Well, as expected when the progressive Democrats took full control of Richmond, they quickly passed legislation last week that will place an unlimited abortion clause in the Virginia Constitution.

The Constitutional Amendment on abortion will now go to a statewide vote in November and if passed, Virginia would join states like New York, California and Vermont where their extreme abortion laws are enshrined in their constitutions.

Planned Parenthood and other left-wing, pro-abortion groups will now spend millions to influence voters in Virginia to support this drastic change to our constitution. We Must Fight Back!

Speedway Employee Kicks Out ICE Officers– www.louderwithcrowder.com

One speedway employee appeared to be on a power trip and made the conscious choice to put his job on the line to kick out ICE officers, claiming he did not “care” whether or not he had the right to do so.

There are many things wrong with this situation that it’s unclear where to begin.

Firstly, I hardly doubt Speedway enforces a policy where law enforcement officers, local or federal, are to be refused service. Secondly, I don’t think this employee owns the place. Thirdly, this is America, and the fact that he despises the people protecting our freedoms is deranged and totally naive.

Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari couched a chilling prediction within a warning at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon control not only most of the world’s legal, education, and healthcare systems, “AI will take over religion.” 

“This is particularly true of religions based on books, like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism,” the homosexual atheist claimed.  

“Anything made of words will be taken over by AI,” said Harari, so, “What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?”

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer was injured in a vehicle-ramming attack during a targeted operation near Compton, California, Wednesday morning.

Officers were attempting to arrest William Eduardo Moran Carballo, an illegal alien from El Salvador, who was wanted for human smuggling and had two prior arrests for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. An immigration judge issued him a final order of removal in 2019.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Carballo weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement in an attempt to evade arrest.  Fearing for their safety, a federal agent fired defensive shots.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — For days it seemed there was no way out of the latest standoff between Europe and the United States: U.S. President Donald Trump insisted he must have Greenland — and would settle for nothing short of total ownership.

Even after he dropped the threat of force in a speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, the impasse remained. Enter: Mark Rutte.

The NATO secretary-general appears to have been instrumental in persuading Trump to scrap the threat of slapping punitive tariffs on eight European nations to press for U.S. control over Greenland — a stunning reversal shortly after insisting he wanted to get the island “including right, title and ownership.”

Washington could soon join a handful of states that require public colleges and universities to offer abortion pills on campus.

Lawmakers in the state House listened to testimonies for and against Senate Bill 5826 during a hearing Thursday, The News Tribune reports.

The bill, sponsored by state Sen. T’wina Nobles, D-Fircrest, would require higher education institutions with a health center to offer abortion pills on campus. Institutions without a health center would be required to provide referrals to abortion facilities.

All public colleges and universities also would be required to create a webpage with information about abortion, prenatal care, and other “reproductive health” services.

Democrats want to impeach Trump — but John James and Michigan can stop them, new ad says– www.theblaze.com

pgnewser January 22, 2026 0

Blurb:

Rep. John James, a Michigan Republican running for governor, has launched a new ad tying the fate of Trump’s second term and the America First agenda to James’ home state of Michigan.

On Thursday, James released an ad titled “Impeached,” claiming that Michigan, with its open U.S. Senate seat and four competitive House races, is “ground zero” in the fight to keep Congress under Republican control.

Recent polling indicates that James holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary and a slight edge in the general election in November.

The ad suggests that if Congress falls into the hands of the Democrats after the 2026 midterms, Trump will be “impeached” and his “Cabinet dragged before hearings led by AOC and Rashida Tlaib,” referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Tlaib (D-Mich.).

In the ad, James, currently a Michigan congressman who has “backed President Trump every time,” makes the pitch to MAGA Michiganders that his election to be their next governor is vital to protecting Trump and his ability to continue implementing his policies: “If you care about President Trump, you must stand up for John James.”

Republicans are bleeding support among independent voters ahead of November’s midterm elections, according to new polling.

An Emerson College Polling national survey released Thursday found that congressional Democrats have a 22-point advantage over Republicans (50% to 28%) with independent voters. With roughly 90% of likely Republican and Democratic voters planning to support their party’s respective congressional candidates in 2026, according to Emerson College Polling executive director Spencer Kimball, independents are likely to have outsized influence over November’s elections.

17 House Republicans Cave on Subsidies, Avoid Reforms– www.dailysignal.com

Blurb:

Seventeen House Republicans gave California Democrats a late Christmas present this month when they crossed the aisle to vote for extending enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies for another three years.

Not only did they move these massive handouts one step closer to permanent entitlement status, but they failed to advance reforms that would actually lower health care costs, like closing the Intergovernmental Transfer loophole that has cost taxpayers tens of billions over time.

The Senate should stop this bill in its tracks and—in anticipation of pushback from those who have never seen a government expansion they didn’t like—prepare to argue to the public why propping up a broken system won’t reduce health insurance premiums. As I argued in The Hill, these subsidies just mask the true cost of government distortion.

Blurb:

The House Oversight Committee issued deposition subpoenas on Aug. 5 to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton requiring their testimony “related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.”

Evidently the Clintons didn’t feel that they should be held to the same standard to which Democrats previously held President Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon and current trade adviser Peter Navarro, who were both jailed for defying subpoenas issued by the Jan. 6 committee.

‘The Clintons were legally required to appear and instead responded to our good-faith negotiations with defiance.’

After repeated warnings that the Clintons risked criminal exposure by failing to comply with the subpoenas, the committee advanced two resolutions on Wednesday recommending that the House of Representatives find them in contempt of Congress.

The subpoenas, which seek records, were sent to the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and officials in Ramsey and Hennepin counties, the person said.

The person was not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The more you pull the thread on the chaos and corruption currently overtaking Minnesota, the more you see clearly the ways that the Democrat Party is both the beast and the feeder of the beast.

Take, for instance, Jamael Lundy. Lundy is a top aide to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty; he serves as her intergovernmental affairs coordinator, which means his job is to interact with local, state, and federal officials. Lundy also runs a company called, “Homes for Homies Property Management LLC,” which claims to “provid[e] affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.”

Oh, and Lundy is married to St. Paul City Council member Anika Bowie. He’s got the perfect progressive resume, including stints with Minnesota House Rep. Carlos Mariani (D), the Democrat House Caucus Campaign, Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-04), and the state teachers’ union.

Khamenei today: “We broke the back of the rioters. The day of the successful crackdown will be remembered as a day of celebration for years to come.”

He has become so emboldened that he is shamelessly calling the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians a “celebration.”

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is speaking like a man who believes he has won. As nationwide protests subside and U.S. threats go unenforced, Iran’s supreme leader has openly branded the mass killing of protesters a “celebration,” boasting that the regime “broke the back of the rioters.” His rhetoric reflects an emboldened regime claiming victory, shifting blame for its own atrocities onto the United States, and signaling to Iranians—and the world—that terror, not restraint, remains the Islamic Republic’s chosen instrument of rule.

Nick Shirley — the 23-year-old investigative journalist who exposed day-care fraud in Minnesota with a video that has now surpassed 140 million views — is back with part two.

“It’s a whole other aspect to the fraud scheme,” says BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, who invited Shirley to “The Liz Wheeler Show” to share his latest discoveries.

In the first video, Shirley exposed numerous Somali-run day-care centers in Minnesota as fraudulent operations. Despite receiving millions (or even billions overall) in taxpayer-funded government subsidies through programs like CCAP and Medicaid, these centers provided no actual child-care services. Footage captures Shirley visiting multiple empty facilities with locked doors, blacked-out windows, no visible children, and sketchy “staff members.”

The abrupt departure raised eyebrows in Greenland’s capital of Nuuk, where residents watched uniformed German soldiers board a commercial Icelandair flight rather than a military aircraft.

Once onboard, roughly half of the small contingent reportedly took seats in business class.

U.S. President Donald Trump is addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with the world watching closely after his threats of annexing Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.

The speech — being streamed live in this post — comes a day after world leaders and historic allies of the U.S. repudiated Trump’s threats to annex the island, and after Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a major foreign policy speech to the same venue in which he said that “the old order is not coming back.”

On Saturday, Trump said he would impose a 10 per cent import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to an American seizure of Greenland, which Trump has not ruled out seizing by force and argues the U.S. needs for “national security.”
