Community says one ‘couldn’t be trusted to work with the children of immigrants,’ should lose her job
Many teachers and administrators across the country are allowing students to participate in anti-ICE walkout protests … which just happens to align with the official stance of some teachers’ union affiliates.
If you’re an educator with the opposite view on the subject, however, you might want to be careful.
Virginia House Bill 863 would reduce minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter and child pornography. And it’s expected to pass because Democrats hold power in Virginia.
HB 863 would eliminate many mandatory minimum prison sentences in Virginia law for a range of offenses, removing statutory requirements that judges impose a fixed minimum term for certain crimes and instead giving judges broader discretion in sentencing.

A special agent with the Department of Homeland Security revealed in court documents that leftists who disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, made frightening comments to children in the congregation.
The agent said in a Jan. 20 affidavit that the protesters — who interrupted Sunday morning worship because one of the pastors worked with Immigration and Customs Enforcement — told children their parents were “Nazis.”
That particular remark allegedly came from William Kelly — who has harassed conservative churches across the country with expletive-laced language.
One small set for voter integrity, one giant step for …… the Senate. This is a no brainer. Any Republican opposed is working for the enemy.
The House has passed the SAVE America Act in a 218–213 vote, requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and establishing a nationwide voter ID requirement. Now the fight moves to the Senate.
Supporters say the principle is simple: American citizens should decide American elections. Speaker Mike Johnson called the measure straightforward and overdue, while Rep. Chip Roy urged the Senate to take it up immediately.
After indirect fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files sparked a dramatic day of crisis that threatened to topple him, the U.K. prime minister was saved by a pugnacious fightback and hesitation among his rivals inside the governing Labour Party about the consequences of a leadership coup.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said Tuesday that Labour lawmakers had “looked over the precipice … and they didn’t like what they saw.”
“And they thought the right thing was to unite behind Keir,” Miliband told the BBC.
He might have added: For now.
Republican lawmakers on Wednesday accused Democrats of being “anti-American” and wanting to “disenfranchise” American voters by “allowing non-citizens to vote.”
Their remarks come after Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, became the sole House Democrat to vote in favor of legislation that would require voters to provide proof of citizenship and voter identification before casting a ballot.
Democrats have described the voter integrity legislation, the SAVE America Act, as “voter suppression” and being “reminiscent of the Jim Crow era.” Democrats floated similar accusations about the SAVE America Act’s precursor, the SAVE Act.
… For instance, take Zoraya ter Beek, a 29-year-old, who, in 2024, ended her life via doctor-assisted suicide in the Netherlands. According to The Guardian, she did so on the “grounds of unbearable mental suffering.”
Such deaths are permitted if a patient has “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement.” Another such individual is Aurelia Brouwers, a young woman who died in a starkly similar way.
“I’m 29 years old and I’ve chosen to be voluntarily euthanized,” Brouwers said before her death. “I’ve chosen this because I have a lot of mental health issues. I suffer unbearably and hopelessly. Every breath I take is torture.”
These cases are heartbreaking and prove that the slippery-slope alarms sounding for far too long should have been heeded, but, tragically, they have been ignored. And, unfortunately, the chaos doesn’t come from only these mental health loopholes.
An Arkansas federal court recently issued a preliminary injunction barring authorities in the Natural State from enforcing a speech-restrictive statute called Act 901. Among other things, it prohibits social media platforms from using algorithms they know or reasonably should know will cause “a user to: (1) purchase a controlled substance; (2) develop an eating disorder; (3) commit or attempt to commit suicide; or (4) develop or sustain an addiction to the social media platform[s].”
Chief US District Judge Timothy L. Brooks’ ruling in NetChoice v. Griffin marks yet another victory for NetChoice in its seemingly ceaseless battle against state laws that curb the First Amendment speech rights of two groups—users (to express and receive lawful content) and platforms (to exercise editorial discretion and moderate content without government interference). Brooks’ decision also offers several constitutional lessons for lawmakers about such measures; two are addressed below.
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.”
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr launched an investigation into ABC’s The View amid the agency’s crackdown on broadcast television programs that abuse the agency’s statute on providing equal time for political candidates.

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.
THE HAGUE, February 9. /TASS/. Commander of the Dutch Armed Forces General Onno Eichelsheim announced NATO’s readiness to strengthen its military presence in the Arctic.
“We, NATO, are demonstrating our readiness to make greater efforts to strengthen our position in the Arctic,” he said in an interview with the Defensiekrant newspaper. According to Eichelsheim, the alliance is discussing expanding the scope of its exercises in the Arctic, as well as launching a mission to ensure the security of Greenland.
The debate over immigration rages on in this country, with a disproportionate media focus on the enforcement side. But there continue to be horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens that garner no coverage from the network evening news.
The horrific truck crash in Indiana that killed four Amish individuals was not reported across the evening news. Here’s how it was covered on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier:
The network evening news ignored the illegal alien truck driver that killed four, despite routinely covering traffic mishaps. Something’s (D)ifferent here… pic.twitter.com/M4M2n25NzZ
In the waning days of World War II, even the drug-addled Adolf Hitler knew the end was near. On March 19, 1945, Hitler issued what became known as the “Nero Decree.” As Allied forces closed in, Hitler ordered a scorched-earth policy within Germany’s own borders.
EDMONTON, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta Conservative Premier Danielle Smith said she has had enough of woke federal judge appointments, warning Prime Minister Mark Carney that unless he allows provincial input into new judge selections, her province will withhold funding.
“The appointment of justices to our Alberta courts should be non-partisan and reflect our province’s legal traditions and values,” Smith wrote Tuesday on X along with an attached two-page letter to Carney.
“I am urging Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney to give Alberta a formal and meaningful role in the judicial appointment process that would boost public confidence in the administration of justice, support national unity within Alberta, and ensure judicial decision-making reflects the expectations of Albertans.”
In the two-page letter to Carney, Smith made clear her intentions to allow Alberta to have a say in judge appointments, saying her province needs to be consulted on all future judicial appointments to the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
“Alberta’s government will not agree to provide the necessary funding to support any new judicial positions in the province until such engagement and collaboration are provided,” she wrote.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has joined the anti-ICE crusade, and is getting the state government involved through a new portal to help people track ICE.
“We are going to be standing up a portal so people can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people. If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out.”

On X I responded to a tweet about it by Jesse Kelly by saying:
“The Governor of New Jersey may not be legally obligated to help federal immigration enforcement, but she has no right to interfere with it, which is what she is doing on a massive scale. An example needs to be set”

More winning from our historic and magnificent POTUS!
The ending of Russian oil imports would be particularly significant; yes, even huge. Trump on his phone meeting with India Prime Minister Modi: We spoke about many things, including Trade, and ending the War with Russia and Ukraine. He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela. This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week! Out of friendship and respect for Prime Minister Modi and, as per his request, effective immediately, we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18% (Truth)
India and China reportedly began edging away from Russian energy after President Trump imposed a 25% punitive tariff on countries doing business with Moscow — a move that signaled consequences.Trump has been pressing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Russian oil since last summer, and two weeks ago he raised the stakes dramatically, threatening tariffs as high as 500%.
Modi rushed to X to celebrate the new trade agreement at an 18% reciprocal tariff rate.
President Trump has expanded the Mexico City Policy, which blocked U.S. foreign aid to organizations that promote or support abortion, to also block aid going to organizations that promote gender ideology. Trump’s presidency has been characterized by putting American interests first. This revision to the Mexico City Policy reflects one element of this: standing for biological reality.
“The Department does not believe taxpayer dollars should support sex-rejecting procedures, directly or indirectly for individuals of any age,” the policy states. “A person’s body (including its organs, organ systems, and processes natural to human development like puberty) either healthy or unhealthy based on whether they are operating according to their biological functions.”
Republicans massively out-fundraised Democrats in 2025, a massive boon to the GOP heading into the midterm election cycle.
According to recent Federal Election Commission reports, the Republican Party has almost $700 million in cash on hand across six different funding groups. The Democrats have $167 million cash on hand, but the Democratic National Committee is in debt.
“The [Republican National Committee] closed out 2025 in a position of real strength, building a serious war chest as we head into the 2026 midterms focused on defending and expanding our Republican majorities,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters.
An interesting story from the United Kingdom is filling left-wing journalists with horror: Amelia. She’s an Artificial Intelligence creation that has escaped its left-wing government master and been rebadged as a heroine to the anti-mass migrant movement online.
The U.K. is suffering societal backlash and financial pressure due to mass immigration from cultures with little respect for women, yet the Labour Party government is obsessed with patrolling social media to inhibit “far-right” discussion of the migrant problem.
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the opposition to programs that recognize bright, eager-to-learn kids and place them in special classes where they can excel and achieve great things.
Yes, the opposition is based on the fact that more white and Asian kids qualify for the special instruction than black kids, but instead of penalizing the “special” kids, why not work harder to uplift the black kids? It appears to me that no one in school districts that cite “white privilege” for why fewer black kids end up in these accelerated classes ever comes up with ideas to raise black kids up instead of holding other kids back.
Probably too much work.
New York’s Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.
(The Washington Stand) — In progressive America, the Democratic Party’s litmus test for public service is transgender ideology. And not just casual support, nor a general affirmation of “LGBTQ+ rights.” Those who wish to participate in the system must embrace every last jot and tittle of the transgender agenda, specifically.
For those who prefer to side with the truth, even members of other favored minority groups had better look out, lest the door hit them on the way out.
The latest casualty to this ideological intolerance is Glenna Goldis, a lawyer in the New York attorney general’s office, who was fired in late January for telling the truth about the lack of evidence for carrying out gender transition procedures on minors.
The Canadian government-run euthanasia system has crossed another chilling threshold after Canada’s socialized healthcare system euthanized a disabled man because he was experiencing “loneliness.”
A disabled man in his 60s was put to death under Canada’s expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime after citing loneliness and social isolation as the primary reasons for wanting to die.
The alarming case was revealed in a 2025 report from Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (OMDRC).
The man, identified only as Mr. B, lived with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.
Car ownership used to come with an unspoken assumption: You bought the vehicle, and it was yours to maintain, repair, and service in any way you saw fit. That assumption is quietly eroding. And one of the clearest signs doesn’t involve software updates or subscription features.
It involves a screw.
Tasks once considered routine — such as clearing fault codes or accessing safety systems — now often require dealer-level credentials or paid subscriptions.
