Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson used an AI-generated image of Alex Pretti’s death in which a federal immigration agent is missing his head during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday. Thompson is the same man who chaired the Jan. 6 Committee, which was also caught fabricating “evidence.”

While Thompson was chiding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for allegedly creating a “demonstrably false story” about Pretti’s death, an apparent staffer held up an AI-generated image of Pretti with Border Patrol agents standing over him, and one of the agents is headless.

A shooting rampage at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left 10 people dead and more than 25 injured on Tuesday, marking one of the deadliest school attacks in Canadian history.

Authorities said the gunfire erupted shortly after 1:20 p.m. local time at the high school in the remote community. Six victims were killed inside the building before the suspect was later found dead from what police described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A seventh victim died while being transported to a hospital. Investigators also discovered two additional bodies at a nearby residence believed to be connected to the attack, reportedly the suspect’s mother and younger brother.

This year may have barely begun, but it has already witnessed many threats to President Donald Trump and members of his administration.

Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, and he faced another serious assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida, two months later. The first assassin died in the attempt, and a judge sentenced Ryan Routh, 59, to life in prison plus 84 months last week for the second attempt.

Two events last year highlighted the rise of political violence on the left: the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the comments of Democrat Jay Jones, who now serves as Virginia’s attorney general, wishing for the death of his political opponents. (Jones apologized for the comments after National Review exposed them.)

Immigration is shaping up to be the hit-button issue of this midterm election. One drawback, though, is that these types of stories require a steady flow of victims in order to keep the issue in front of the public. With the unrest in Minnesota off the news, CBS News thinks they may have struck gold.

Chaos reigned outside a Mogadishu, Minnesota courthouse. A rapid response until of constitutional observers witnessed ICE agents arresting someone who could have easily been one of your friends and neighbors, or even YOU. At least, that is, if you were caught with fifty pounds of methamphetamine. That was the person whom agents had to chase on foot before taking him into custody, but you wouldn’t know it if you glazed legacy media headlines on the X-Twitters.

Because let’s be honest. I know that you know that they know most people will just read the headline and use that to form their opinions.

We’ll start our story with ICE agents arresting a man who was charged with possessing over FIFTY POUNDS of meth. Note: When the media or the left (but I repeat myself) report that the majority of ICE arrests are people who were not charged with violent crime, they are talking about people like this guy and his fifty pounds of meth.

Despite his position as a Hollywood elite, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel likes to think of himself as a man of the people who cares for the little guy, but on his Tuesday show, Kimmel made the strange claim that illegal immigrants are “raising your children.”

While talking about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s congressional testimony where he was questioned about his appearance in the Epstein files, Kimmel sarcastically declared, “But this was encouraging. Congressman Lisa McClain, a Republican from Michigan, is speaking out and loudly against Epstein’s co-conspirators.”

The transgender individual alleged to be responsible for Tuesday’s deadly shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School has been identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang.

Juno News reported that it spoke directly with Russell G. Strang, Jesse Strang’s uncle, who confirmed that his nephew was responsible for the attack. The outlet’s managing editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, stated on X that he had spoken with the suspect’s uncle and added that a YouTube account believed to belong to Jesse Strang features the transgender flag and lists “she/her” pronouns. The account also reportedly displays an SKS-style rifle. He also linked to his exclusive report.

Original story follows:

A school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia left 10 dead and 25 injured on Tuesday night. The RCMP said that the shooter is among the dead after a self-inflicted gun shot.

A motive for the rampage, which occured before 1:20 pm local time, at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence has not yet been determined and North District commander Ken Floyd of the British Columbia RCMP has declined to identify the shooter in any way.

However, a police alert earlier in the day stated that the suspect was a “female in a dress with brown hair.”

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’m trying to make one of my haphazard appearances, depending my energy level, after all these medications they put me on, after this lung cancer surgery. But I’m here on the farm, and I’m doing my best.

I wanna talk a little bit about the open defiance of the federal government. I’ve mentioned that earlier, but when you collate everything that Attorney General of Minnesota Keith Ellison has said, Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, it’s unabashed, unapologetic, insurrectionary rhetoric.

Virginia Democrats in a House of Delegates subcommittee have defeated a Republican-backed measure that would have helped pregnant women find abortion alternatives.

The vote proves Democrats are pro-abortion, not pro-choice.

The legislation would have required abortionists to inform women seeking about “safe haven provisions,” including baby boxes as an alternative to abortion. These are places where women who give birth can leave an unwanted baby for adoption, such as a police station or fire house.

A rural community in British Columbia, Canada, is reeling after a shooter allegedly opened fire inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Tuesday, reportedly killing nine and injuring dozens.

The suspect died from what’s being described as a “self-inflicted injury,” according to CBC News.

Nine people were confirmed dead, and at least 25 others were injured, the outlet reported.

The UN Secretary-General congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran on the anniversary of its revolution.

Yes — congratulated.

This is the same regime accused of unleashing one of the bloodiest crackdowns in its modern history, gunning down its own citizens for the crime of demanding basic freedom. While Iranian families bury their dead, the head of the world’s so-called premier humanitarian body sends warm wishes to their oppressors.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed by Republicans and signed by President Donald Trump last year, will add $4.7 trillion to deficits through 2035, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The numbers were released Wednesday as part of the nonpartisan congressional scorekeeper’s annual budget and economic update, which includes projections for the debt, spending, inflation, and GDP.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar posted on X to suggest that President Donald Trump should be executed. She shared a clip of an interview with Trump on Fox News with the caption “The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.”

An explosive detail has been discovered in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents that has been hailed as a “bombshell” finding that could “solve the mystery” surrounding the child predator.

Former State Department official Mike Benz is sounding the alarm after newly released Department of Justice (DOJ) records revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) appears to hold classified information about Epstein.

In the files are documents showing that the CIA responded to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request tied to Epstein.

A media ratings website is suing the Federal Trade Commission for investigating alleged efforts to blacklist conservative news outlets, in a clash that is effectively dueling accusations of censorship.

NewsGuard Technologies sued the FTC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Friday, alleging the Trump administration was trying to censor it, “simply out of disagreement with NewsGuard’s First Amendment-protected journalistic judgments about the reliability of news sources.”

“Under the guise of a supposed antitrust investigation, the FTC has demanded all documents (memos, emails, texts, reporters’ notes, subscriber lists, analyses, financial reports, and more) that NewsGuard has created or received since its founding in 2018,” the complaint says.

The FTC did not immediately respond to The Daily Signal’s inquiry for this story.

After Sen. John Fetterman’s first year in office — marked by a noticeable shift to the right as he recovered from the massive stroke that nearly derailed his 2022 Senate campaign — satire site The Babylon Bee ran a brutal headline: “Weird: Man Becomes More Conservative As He Regains Brain Function.” The piece opened with the line, “In a bizarre coincidence, Senator John Fetterman has suddenly become more conservative after his brain resumed working.”

Happily, that trend has continued. The Pennsylvania Democrat has voiced strong support for Israel and tougher border security, and even backed several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Unsurprisingly, those positions have made him a frequent target of criticism from within his own party.

In an appearance on Fox News program Sunday Morning Futures, Fetterman once again ruffled Democratic feathers by affirming his support for voter ID laws, telling host Maria Bartiromo they were “a no brainer.”

Governor Kathy Hochul has signed the Medical Aid in Dying Act into law in New York this past week. The language surrounding it is soft, all the same. Careful. Emotional and in lock step with every other death cult out there.

We’re told this is about dignity, compassion, and “shortening death, not life.” We’re told there are guardrails. We’re told this is safe.

I don’t buy it. It’s a lie, and we all know it. Anyone paying attention in Canada, the UK and others parts of the globe understand this expansion is something bigger. This is an entire world beginning to speak one language. The language of death.

I’ve heard this language before. Institutions always speak this way when they’re about to cross a moral line they don’t want to fully name.

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations said Monday it’s waiting to find out how much of the nearly $4 billion the United States owes the world organization the Trump administration intends to pay and when the money will arrive.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned last week that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues, a message clearly directed at the United States.

The U.S. owes $2.196 billion to the U.N.’s regular operating budget, including $767 million for this year, according to a U.N. official. The U.S. also owes $1.8 billion for the separate budget for the U.N.’s far-flung peacekeeping operations, and that also will rise.

Iran’s atomic energy chief says Tehran is open to diluting its highly enriched uranium if the United States ends sanctions, signalling flexibility on a key demand by the US.

Mohammad Eslami made the comments to reporters on Monday, saying the prospects of Iran diluting its 60-percent-enriched uranium, a threshold close to weapons grade, would hinge on “whether all sanctions would be lifted in return”, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

Eslami did not specify whether Iran expected the removal of all sanctions or specifically those imposed by the US.

Australian politicians urged restraint on Tuesday after police in Sydney clashed with people protesting the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who is accused of inciting a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Police made at least 27 arrests amid allegations of excessive force used against protesters and rights groups, reports said. Violence broke out on the evening of 9 February after thousands of people gathered near Sydney Town Hall to oppose Mr Herzog’s visit.

The New South Wales Police said officers moved to clear the area after demonstrators attempted to breach blockades, resulting in arrests. Ten people were accused of assaulting police officers.

Taiwan has told Washington that its proposal to move 40% of the island’s semiconductor supply chain to the U.S. was “impossible,” the country’s top tariff trade negotiator said in an interview.

Speaking on a local television broadcast Sunday, Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun said she had made it clear to Washington that the country’s semiconductor ecosystem, built over decades, could not simply be relocated.

Taiwan’s international expansion, including its investments in the U.S., is predicated on the notion that the industry remains’ rooted in Taiwan and continues to expand domestic investments, she said in Mandarin, translated by CNBC.

When it comes to racism, Nike decided to “just do it.”

The woke footwear company that enthusiastically promoted serial grifter and race-baiter Colin Kaepernick is — surprise, surprise — fixated on skin color and other external characteristics rather than merit. Now, however, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on February 4 that it had filed an action in federal court against Nike.
