Case Studies Contradict Accepted Wisdom About AI Psychosis– www.madinamerica.com

Blurb:

More and more people have been experiencing psychosis induced by AI chatbot use. This is concerning since chatbot use is so prevalent, especially among young people and those who are in distress and vulnerable (one recent study found that about a quarter of young adults used chatbots specifically for mental health advice).

Reassuringly, psychiatry’s stance is that anyone who experiences this was already “prone to psychosis”—that the chatbot simply triggered delusions that would have been triggered some other way. Yet there is no evidence to support this explanation, and the case reports of those who have experienced AI psychosis tell a different story.

Trump to Crash Davos, Drop Hammer on WEF Globalists– slaynews.com

Blurb:

President Donald Trump is preparing to storm the heart of the globalist establishment, bringing his America First agenda directly into the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual summit in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump’s appearance at the elite gathering, long synonymous with open borders, free trade absolutism, and unelected global governance, represents a direct challenge to the ideological consensus that has dominated the WEF summit for decades.

This year’s Davos theme, “A Spirit of Dialogue,” rings hollow to critics as the global elite scramble to preserve their image of openness in the face of a U.S. president who has openly rejected multilateralism and global economic central planning.

Michigan County Clerk Discovers 239 Noncitizens Selected for Jury Duty Over 4-Month Period, With 14 Registered to Vote › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini announced Monday that noncitizens have been appearing in the Michigan county’s jury pool “at an alarming rate” and many of them are registered to vote. The data indicates that many noncitizens have potentially sat on juries and/or illegally voted in elections.

During a press conference in the courthouse jury room in Mount Clemens, MI, Forlini stated that an internal review of the county identified 239 noncitizens selected for jury duty over a four-month period from September 5, 2025, to January 8, 2026.

The jury pool is drawn from the Michigan Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which does not consistently flag citizenship status, allowing noncitizens—such as lawful permanent residents with green cards—to be included.

DOJ investigates Renee Good’s wife Becca for actions on day of shooting, ties to militant far-left groups | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

The Department of Justice is looking into ties between Renee and Becca Good and far-left activist groups that have been courting mayhem in the state as both the fraud investigation and federal efforts to remove illegal immigrant criminals ramp up.

Six federal prosecutors resigned on Tuesday rather than conduct an investigation into Becca Good, the activist wife of Renee Good, who was killed while ramming her car into an ICE agent last week. Becca Good was outside the car at the time of the shooting filming the action between her wife and the officer while taunting law enforcement.

The New York Times reports that “the Justice Department launched an investigation to examine ties between Ms. Good and her wife, Becca, and several groups that have been monitoring and protesting the conduct of immigration agents in recent weeks.” These prosecutors were reluctant to look into Good, who said after the shooting that it was all her fault.

GOP Spending Groups Race Ahead Of Democrat Rivals In Fundraising– dailycaller.com

House Republicans’ largest outside spending groups are leading their Democratic counterparts in fundraising ahead of November’s midterm elections.

The House GOP leadership aligned-Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) and its associated nonprofit, the American Action Network (AAN), reported a $136 million fundraising haul in 2025. Meanwhile, House Democratic groups — House Majority PAC and its sister organization House Majority Forward — raised just $121 million combined in the same time span.

The GOP lead is relatively small, but the Republican groups are touting the fundraising edge, first reported by Punchbowl News, as proof they have the resources to defend the fragile House GOP majority.

“This record-breaking haul of $136 million is a testament to the sustained commitment of our donors and their trust in Speaker Mike Johnson, this Republican leadership team, and our mission,” CLF President Chris Winkelman said in a statement. “Building this historic war chest early means we have a financial head start heading into the midterms. We will defend our majority-making incumbents and push further into Democrat territory.”

House Republicans passed a sweeping new framework for a second reconciliation bill that would ban illegal aliens from receiving a single dime from taxpayer-funded federal welfare programs.

The proposal, which was led by the Republican Study Committee (RSC) also seeks to reform federal funding allocations to states, ensuring that taxpayer funds are spent solely on U.S. citizens.

One of the biggest problems — of many — that President Donald Trump identified under his predecessor’s regime involved the soaring cost of living to which many Americans were subjected.

By that same token, Trump also appears cognizant that one of the initiatives he supports, the investment in and proliferation of artificial intelligence, could very well lead to Americans feeling the same sort of squeeze they felt under former President Joe Biden.

Aware of that, the president took to Truth Social to issue a mandate to tech companies, saying they will not be allowed to jack up American utility bills.

Independent Journalists Attacked By Violent Anti-ICE Mob in Minneapolis › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Independent journalists Nick Sortor and Cam Higby were physically attacked by a violent mob during an anti-ICE demonstration outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Sunday night, after a far-left streamer threatened to track and harass them.

According to Sortor, agitators scuffled with them whenever they left their vehicle to film clashes between law enforcement and the anti-ICE militants.

“We did our best not to engage with them,” Higby stated on X.  “Obviously they repeatedly initiated physical contact with us.”

At one point, an aggressive masked female agitator got in front of Sortor,  holding up a sign to block him from filming. Sortor snatched the sign from her and threw it on the ground.   The woman continued hounding the journalist, throwing punches and trying to grab his phone away. Sortor continued filming while pushing her away with his free hand. He pulled off her mask so she could be identified and face consequences for the assault, Higby explained later on X.

Federal agents deployed flash bangs, tear gas, and pepper balls to disperse the increasingly violent mob, which allowed the two to escape to their vehicle, a white Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

U.S. Designates MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD Branches Terrorist Organizations– gellerreport.com

The next step from the Executive Order in November where such a designation was announced (White House).

On January 13, 2026, the U.S. labeled the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood—Al Jama’a Al Islamiyya—as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, while designating its Egyptian and Jordanian branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. This stems from a November 2025 executive order by President Trump, based on evidence of their financial, logistical, and ideological support for Hamas. Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE endorsed the step, though the Brotherhood called it politically motivated and plans legal challenges. The designations impose asset freezes, travel bans, and penalties for material support, marking a targeted escalation in counterterrorism without labeling the entire group.

Federal Funding to Illegal Alien Sanctuaries Ends February 1– www.newsbusters.org

States that have sanctuary cities protecting illegal aliens and their dangerous criminal element as of February 1 will no longer receive any form of federal funding, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during an address at the Detroit Economic Club.

The U.S. simply can’t afford to subsidize the millions of illegal aliens currently in the U.S. – especially since many of them are a threat to American citizens, Trump warned:

“Many of those people are murderers. They’re people released from jails, prisons, mental institutions, insane asylums. They’re people that are drug dealers, they’re addicts.”

If states and cities continue to protect people who break U.S. immigration laws, they’ll have to do so without the help of federal funding, Pres. Trump said:

“Starting Feb. 1, we’re not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action against Senator Mark Kelly, a former Navy Captain, for his role in a late 2025 video in which he and other lawmakers, dubbed the “Seditious Six,” called for active duty troops to “refuse illegal orders.” Hegseth said that the Pentagon has initiated “retirement grade determination proceedings,” with a reduction in grade resulting in a reduction in retired pay.

Hegseth said, “Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice. And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice.”

After years of Washington politicians lining the pockets of insurance companies and anointing them “essential partners,” President Trump has called out the insurance monopoly for what it is. “Let the money go not to the big fat cats and the insurance companies that made 1,700 percent over a short period of time,” President Trump said.

“Let the money go directly to the people, where they can buy their own health care.”

The big health insurance companies that have gorged themselves at the Obamacare trough are finally being put under the spotlight and held to account. While these companies have grown richer, patients have been left paying ever-increasing premiums and deductibles with steadily decreasing care in return.

At least 42 people were slaughtered and others abducted when armed bandits stormed a crowded market in Niger State, northwest Nigeria, opening fire indiscriminately, burning stalls, and looting food as terrified civilians fled. Witnesses say women and children were not spared and that security forces were nowhere to be seen as raids spread across multiple villages, with some estimating the death toll as high as 40. The massacre underscores the accelerating collapse of security across northern and central Nigeria, where mass killings and kidnappings have become routine despite repeated military operations. President Bola Tinubu has ordered authorities to hunt down the perpetrators and rescue abductees, but the bloodshed comes just weeks after more than 300 children were kidnapped from a Catholic school—grim proof that banditry is spiraling out of control while the state struggles to protect its people.

President Donald Trump suggested during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that military action against Mexican drug cartels could be coming within the next several weeks.

Trump pointed to recent U.S. military action in the lead-up to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, which included more than two-dozen maritime strikes on Venezuelan and Colombian drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific.

“We’ve knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water, and we are going to start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico, it’s very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country,” the president said. Trump also pointed to the cost of drug-trafficking in the United States, which has led to more than 100,000 overdose deaths on a yearly basis.

The saga of President Donald Trump’s quest for Greenland continues with a new chapter.

Over the last few days, I noted that Trump has stressed that a more robust relationship with Greenland is a national security issue. Then, both Greenland and Denmark asked to fast-track a meeting with our very busy Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

It now appears Rubio is scheduled to meet with Danish officials next week.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he plans to meet with Danish officials next week after the Trump administration doubled down on its intention to take over Greenland, the strategic Arctic island that is a self-governing territory of Denmark.

Since the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump has revived his argument that the United States needs to control the world’s largest island to ensure its own security in the face of rising threats from China and Russia in the Arctic.

In the early hours of Jan. 3, 2026, President Trump directed a smooth, targeted operation to arrest Nicolás Maduro for numerous drug-related crimes.

The usual suspects (the regressive left, the Democrat party, Thomas Massie, and Sloppy Steve Bannon) are complaining that Trump took an illegal action, an act of war that requires Congress’s approval.

But here’s the truth: The United States military enforced a DOJ indictment, and the United States government has done this before.

The United States has resisted evil leaders with similar boldness.

In 2005, President George W. Bush talked about an “Axis of Evil” waging terror and rampaging war around the world: Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Twenty years later, that Axis of Evil has expanded, including China, Russia, and Venezuela.

According to Fox News, the House of Representatives voted 226-197 to overturn Biden-era regulations effectively aimed at restricting how strong shower heads could be.

Federal law already caps how much water a shower head is allowed to emit.

During the Biden administration, regulators took a broader view of that rule. They concluded that showers equipped with multiple nozzles had to be treated as a single unit, meaning the total water flow across all heads could not exceed the legal maximum.
