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.

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.

While images of the aircraft, replete with multiple drone-kill marks, had previously been published, we now get to see the aircraft’s armament, a six-barrel, Gatling-type, M134 Minigun, in action, too.” — Thomas Newdick, for The War Zone, February 5, 2026.
“It’s two in the morning. There are targets in the air in the southeast. As pilots, we try to counter these drones using our aircraft, shooting them down with a machine gun.” — Ukrainian An-28TD aircrew member, February 2026.
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.

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.

PBS led the charge in insurrectionist propaganda this week when it left Boston Globe Columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker essentially spin a conspiracy theory that the Hitlerian ICE agents are going to make sure the Republicans win the 2026 midterms and finalize their fascist masterplan. This week was filled with DNC criminal media info-terrorist attacks on Americans. No arrests have been made, so far.
Stohr threw out the libelous invective, which was only affirmed by Parker. She claimed, “… I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”
Parker added to the info-terrorist attack in her effort to signal to the DNC’s Antifa Army to continue the murderous assault on American ICE agents, “ “And he can’t let it go because I think he’s taken a page from Mein Kampf, frankly, you know, the saying that if you say—tell a big lie often enough and repeat it, then people will believe it. And the theory was further refined by the propaganda head in Nazi Germany, Mr. Joseph Goebbels. And the idea is, apparently, it’s true that—they would know, I guess—that people will believe a big lie quicker than they will believe a small lie.”
PBS Guests Invoke Hitler, Jim Crow Over ICE-Election Conspiracy Theory – newsbusters.org
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE monitoring the upcoming midterms that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed as “very silly.”
During an answer about whether Trump’s call to “nationalize” elections is serious or just bluster, Stohr added a few more election-related concerns, “But I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”
Former President Bill Clinton excoriated Republicans’ demands to have him and Hillary Clinton testify about Jeffrey Epstein and called for a public hearing instead.
Clinton wrote in an angry screed on social media Wednesday that Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky asked them to appear at a closed-door hearing.
‘Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth.’
A remarkably candid column appeared in the New York Times this week by Spain’s left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who recently announced his government would grant amnesty to half a million illegal immigrants living in Spain. Framed as an argument for “why the West needs migrants,” Sánchez’s essay is really an admission of moral collapse, and a frank declaration that he intends to destroy his nation in exchange for short-term economic gain.
It is an admission of moral collapse because the Spanish government has signaled its willingness to erase their country, put the interests of foreigners above those of native citizens, and turn Spain into a magnet for Third World migration.
Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
“Of course, Trump hasn’t had nice things to say about McConnell, and vice versa, but I think it’s personal, no matter what (McConnell) says,” the aide added.
The 83-year-old former Majority Leader’s latest trip to the hospital this week for “flu-like” symptoms has slowed the pace even more so on whatever version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) the listless GOP majority believes can squeak through. But McConnell’s intransigence on a bill that humbly asks for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections has been felt over the nearly 300 days since the Republican-controlled House passed the measure.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is clearly running for president and — surprise, surprise — has a new memoir coming out. In an interview about the book, he recounted attending his mother’s hastened death. From the Washington Post story:
It was the spring of 2002 when Gavin Newsom’s mother, Tessa, dying of cancer, stunned him with a voicemail. If he wanted to see her again, she told him, it would need to be before the following Thursday, when she planned to end her life.
Newsom, then a 34-year-old San Francisco supervisor, did not try to dissuade her, he recounted in an interview with The Washington Post. The fast-rising politician was racked with guilt from being distant and busy as she dealt with the unbearable pain of the breast cancer spreading through her body.
The U.S. delegation, led by Steve Witkoff, on Friday, conducted two rounds of inconclusive talks with the Iranian regime negotiators in the Gulf Arab state of Oman amid alarming reports that Tehran is relocating its weapons-grade nuclear material and rebuilding its ballistic missile stockpile.
“The U.S. and Iran held several hours of nuclear negotiations in Oman on Friday, and officials from both countries indicated they expect further meetings in the coming day,” Axios reported. “These were the first face-to-face talks between the U.S. and Iran since the 12-day war last June.”

In the required elementary ed. course ‘Culture, Power, and Education’
A University of Minnesota education professor allegedly ran an “ICE drill” in class which included having selected students “shield” peers who might be targeted by the agency.
According to a Feb. 6 report by Alpha News, student “Angela” (who wishes to remain anonymous) claimed Professor Blanca Caldas conducted the exercise in her “Culture, Power, and Education” class, a required course for those seeking a degree in elementary education.
Angela said Caldas “began by putting up an image on the screen” about specific actions to take if ICE agents appeared at the door.
The gossip around the right-wing water cooler for the past few years is that, as police warn body cameras continue to protect officers from Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) lying about policing while effectively showing what police see when they have a split second to make a life or death decision, the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) would turn against body cameras. SHOCKER: Politico reports that’s EXACTLY what Democrats are doing, as there is a push for ICE Agents to start wearing them.
Here’s Politico reporting over the weekend on Democrats’ sudden concern that ICE-worn body cameras might work against the agitators, necessitating ICE agents to wear body cameras.
American skiers were buried under an avalanche of criticism Saturday after telling the world they are queasy about representing the United States.
“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” freestyle Team USA skier Hunter Hess said at a media event on Friday, according to Fox News.
“I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. — if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I’m representing it,” he said.
This isn’t confined to the U.S.; across the globe, far-left movements and Islamist extremists are algined to destroy free societies.
Violent clashes erupted in Milan as Antifa-linked rioters rampaged outside events connected to the 2026 Winter Olympics, attacking police officers for hours and plunging the area into chaos. Officers were pelted with projectiles and forced into prolonged confrontations as authorities struggled to restore order, underscoring the increasingly coordinated and transnational nature of militant Antifa activity across Europe.

Freestyle skiers for Team USA at the Winter Olympics were slammed for criticizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and for saying they don’t represent ICE operations while wearing the flag.
Several people took to social media to criticize Hunter Hess after he and Chris Lillis tried to distance themselves from the Trump administration and ICE. As Breitbart News reported, Hess in particular stated that just because he was “wearing the flag,” it didn’t mean that he represented “everything that’s going on in the U.S.”

Muslims have issued threats to burn Notre-Dame Cathedral unless French authorities release Ibrahim Alissaoui, the Islamist terrorist who murdered three people in France. The threat underscores the ongoing campaign of Islamic intimidation directed at Christian symbols in Europe, where churches have repeatedly been targeted in attacks linked to jihadist ideology. French authorities are treating the threats as terrorism-related and have increased security around major religious sites.
We bring you some hilarious news from the anti-ICE front.
One of the most ridiculous and annoying aspects that we’ve seen at a lot of anti-ICE actions is the incessant blowing of whistles. The idea behind the whistle is that it would both notify everyone in the neighborhood that ICE was there, possibly warning the targeted illegal alien, and notifying responders to come out.
Freestyle skier Hunter Hess took his opportunity on the world stage to diss America, the country he’s representing, saying it was “a little hard” to be the face of his nation because of President Donald Trump’s efforts to clean up the illegal alien mess left to him by former President Joe Biden.
The Super Bowl is supposed to be one of the cultural cornerstones in American life that still belongs to Americans. There are only a handful of days each year when most of the country pauses and gathers around the same screen to participate in something recognizably ours. It’s a shared experience — rooted in common language and culture and tradition. Which is why the Super Bowl half time show this year was a clear display of pure contempt for America.
Football is not a global sport that just ended up in the United States. It was created right here at home in the 1880s by Walter Camp. It was a sport created by Americans, for Americans. The NFL remains overwhelmingly domestic both in its players and its fanbase. In other words, football isn’t some international pastime. It’s one of the last mass cultural institutions that is distinctly American.
