Supreme Court Makes Huge Decision On California’s New Congressional Map– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Blurb:

The Supreme Court last week ordered California Democrats to respond within a week to a Republican-backed request seeking to block the state’s newly drawn congressional maps from being used in the 2026 elections.

The move, issued by Justice Elena Kagan, who is handling the emergency injunction request, caught many court watchers off guard. Given the court’s recent decision to allow Texas Republicans to keep their mid-decade redistricting plan, most expected the justices to let California’s Democrat-drawn map stand without intervention.

California Republicans argue the new maps violate the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution by relying on race, rather than politics, to redraw at least one congressional district.

An investigation has determined that a black professor at Indiana University created a “hostile educational environment” for white students via “comments made over the course of a semester.”

The Herald-Times reported Jan. 13 that the scholar would be sanctioned as a result, a recent decision made by the vice provost for faculty and academic affairs.

“[T]he university had found a ‘preponderance of evidence’ that Croom had created a ‘hostile educational environment for White students,’ a violation of the university’s discrimination policy,” the Times reported.

Trump Is Letting Tim Walz Beat Him In Minneapolis– thefederalist.com

President Donald Trump appears to be backing down in Minneapolis — not because the situation has improved, but because Democrat officials who are still openly declaring their opposition to immigration enforcement have apparently pressured him into retreat.

After months of open defiance of federal immigration law, weeks of unrest, and a second fatal shooting involving federal agents, the Trump administration demanded on Sunday that Walz, Frey, and other Democrat leaders “cooperate … to enforce our Nation’s Laws.” In part, he specifically called on state and local prisons to turn over illegal aliens in custody and called on local police to “assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.” But two days later, the president is reportedly planning to withdraw some forces in Minneapolis.

Former U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman encouraged his followers and supporters to “burn this s*** down” after an anti-ICE agitator was shot and killed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents while attempting to draw a firearm.

Bowman — who was ousted by a Democratic Party primary challenger in 2024 — was speaking in reference to the shooting of Alex Pretti, 37. Footage from the scene shows Pretti inserting himself into a federal immigration operation and attempting to prevent CBP agents from arresting a fellow agitator.

At that point, a struggle ensued between Pretti and agents. Pretti, who was licensed to carry a 9mm firearm, then reached towards his waistband before shots rang out.

How is the looming government shutdown different from last fall’s?– www.washingtonexaminer.com

pgnewser January 27, 2026 0

Blurb:

The shutdown Washington is preparing for this weekend has several key differences from the government funding battle last fall.

That 43-day shutdown became the longest in U.S. history, ending in November 2025. It centered on Democrats’ concerns that legislation to keep the government open did not contain a provision to extend Obamacare subsidies. And before the shutdown was triggered on Oct. 1, it was widely expected due to the known deadline for renewing the expiring Obamacare subsidies.

Unlike last fall’s controversy, the latest looming government shutdown would be only partial and stem from unexpected unrest in Minnesota. And key Senate Democrats who proved critical to ending the last shutdown have announced that they will not aid the Trump administration this time around in backing the Department of Homeland Security funding bill for ICE.

Judge Considers Ordering ICE to Leave Minnesota– www.dailysignal.com

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez pressed attorneys for Minnesota and the Justice Department on Monday about the state’s claims that federal government violated the Tenth Amendment by surging Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to Minneapolis.

Lindsey Middlecamp, a special counsel at the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, reportedly described ICE’s deployment as an “unlawful occupation” at the outset of the hearing.

She argued that the the administration of President Donald Trump is using the ICE deployment to pressure the state on policy.

“They are not letting the courts work this stuff out,” Middlecamp said, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney. “What they’re trying to get in court … they’re trying to get that same thing by putting 3,000 heavily armed agents on the streets of Minnesota.”

As evidence of alleged coercion, the state’s attorneys presented a Jan. 24 letter from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, to consider three major policy changes.

Bondi urged him to share Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs with the federal government; to repeal “sanctuary” policies restricting state and local law enforcement from assisting federal officers; and to allow the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to access voter rolls to confirm Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal laws.

Some have claimed that ICE is undertrained. Today’s show breaks down what’s going on with ICE.

According to Tim Walz, Donald Trump needs to “pull these untraided officers out of Minnesota before they kill another person.”

“This is, of course, a talking point parroted by everyone on the left right now and by their useful idiots on the liberation/black pill right,” Crowder said.

Both officers involved in the two recent shootings in Minnesota are extensively trained officers.

According to the New York Times:

Mr. Ross joined the Indiana National Guard in 2002, a year after graduating from high school in Peoria, Ill. In November 2004, he deployed to Iraq, and was there for a year, during a time when the insurgency was growing increasingly violent. He served as a gunner in convoys for his logistics unit, but nothing in his record suggests he saw combat.

Mr. Ross was also part of a cohort inside ICE known as the Special Response Team that is trained to handle more dangerous situations. In 2025, S.R.T. members were sent across the nation to cities where Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown had spurred mass protests, including Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere.

For most of its history, the United States has been blessed by geography. Since the country’s founding nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, both Europe and Asia have often been beset by war and upheaval. America was fortunate to have oceans between them while also having neighbors, Canada and Mexico, who were weaker and incapable of posing a serious threat. Mexico’s instability has posed problems of its own, but the U.S. could always count on Canada. Until now.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has embraced China, America’s foremost geopolitical adversary. And he’s done so with undisguised relish.

Minnesota Officials Looking to Prosecute ICE Agents Over Fatal Shootings – Here’s What Could Happen– townhall.com

Blurb:

Minnesota officials are considering filing state criminal charges against federal immigration officers involved in two deadly shootings in Minneapolis.

Federal agents typically enjoy a degree of immunity under federal law, which could complicate efforts to prosecute the officers.

The first shooting involved 37-year-old Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent earlier this month during an immigration raid. The authorities claim she tried to run the agent over with her vehicle. However, some dispute this claim, citing video evidence appearing to show Good trying to drive away from the scene before the agent opened fire.

The second involves a 37-year-old ICU nurse named Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot during an immigration enforcement operation near a protest in south Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed Pretti approached officers with a firearm.

‘Just the Facts, Ma’am:’ The Vital Importance of Greenland for U.S. Defense– legalinsurrection.com

Ever since President Trump announced his interest in a U.S. acquisition of Greenland, leftist media at home and abroad have reacted with a mixture of vicious mockery and hysterical indignation. The media frenzy reached new heights shortly before the Davos WEF meeting this January due to Trump’s strong rhetoric.

This rhetoric is part of Trump’s “art-of-the-deal” tactics as a powerful negotiator. Despite the leftist hysteria, however, the Greenland deal framework that is already underway is a testament to the recognition of the strategic importance of the island both for U.S. and European defense. This is also supported by the bare facts, which anti-American media outlets routinely ignore. It would be helpful to summarize these facts.

The official interest of the United States in acquiring Greenland is nothing new — it goes back over 150 years, when, after the purchase of Alaska in 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward emphasized Greenland’s desirable natural resources and strategic ports. A precedent was provided in 1917, when the United States purchased from Denmark the West Indies and renamed them “U.S. Virgin Islands.”

“White evangelical Christianity is a cancer. These are the worst of our country.”

Far-left podcaster Jennifer Welch has said that “white Evangelical Christianity” is a cancer. While making the comments, she named people such as Erika Kirk and cited the Christian’s tendency to vote for Trump as a reason to oppose them and claimed Christians are not getting persecuted.

“So when you think about the Erika Kirk, the Life Church, the Joel Olsteen of it all, and their desire to accumulate wealth while hood-winking their flock into thinking they’re super moral, this is a cancer. White evangelical Christianity is a cancer. These are the worst of our country,” Welch said.

“These are the worst people in our country because they use their religion in two ways, as a weapon and as a shield. They weaponize it whenever they want to, and say, ‘We’re on the moral high ground. You’re a lesbian. You deserve to die. You’re a lesbian. The cops shouldn’t have revived you. Oh, your parents are Mexicans, and they brought you over here. Yeah, you should go to jail and eat worm food.’ And then when you call them out on it, ‘Oh, my God, they’re after the Christians. How dare they, how dare they. We’re so oppressed,'” Welch added, mocking those who are Christian.

“White Christians are so oppressed in this country, and they want it both ways, because in the religion that duplicity is taught, you can be morally duplicitous. You thrive in cognitive dissonance. And so this is just a massive, massive problem. And it should come as no surprise to anyone that of this cult that I’m talking about, white evangelicals over 80 percent went and voted triple Trumped.”

It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed.

For all Democrats bragged about Gov. Tim Walz’s years as an educator, it’s a good thing he didn’t teach English.

And — true to “knucklehead” form — he got the comparison completely wrong.

As Fox News reported, Walz was engaged in a lengthy discourse about Saturday’s shooting of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis — a discourse that was equally partisan and predictable — when he strayed into the dark days of World War II.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said.

“Somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now.”

In the pathetic pursuit to teach a thing or two about a thing or two to the Trump Administration, liberals in Minnesota have decided the most effective way to handle this is by harassing minimum wage workers who have nothing to do with Trump or his administration. And when you do things like that, you not only prove how naive you are, but that you have no respect for the people around you.

The protestor in the video believed that it made her compassionate by filling up several carts just for the employees to restock the items. That’s not doing anything for their cause, which is extremely lacking, but it makes the jobs harder for workers who already have to deal with Karens like her.

After approaching the checkout line, she decided to lecture the staff by claiming, “We walk away from fascism. We walk towards a free America. We fight for a future that belongs to all of us. Everybody in, nobody out.” She then urged shoppers and workers to walk out on their job, which makes it even more pathetic.
