JPMorgan Chase & Co now employs more workers in Texas than in New York state — something one top city business advocate called a “scary” development. And it’s not just the investment giant, there are more jobs in the banking sector in the Lone Star State than in New York, once the unrivaled financial services capital of the country and world, said Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City. “Right now, the big challenge is are we going to remain competitive for jobs?” Wylde said Sunday on WABC 770 AM the “Cats Roundtable” program. “The financial services industry, they’re our biggest taxpayers and major employers

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien with an active deportation order who was just one week away from becoming a New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officer.
On Tuesday, ICE officials confirmed to Fox News’s Bill Melugin that ICE agents arrested 46-year-old illegal alien Larry Temah of Cameroon in New Orleans, Louisiana.
According to ICE, Temah had recently been recruited to become an NOPD officer and was just a week away from graduating from the NOPD police academy at the time of his arrest.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Melugin:
This illegal alien from Cameroon, Larry Temah, is not only breaking the law with every step he takes
President Donald Trump’s Small Business Administration (SBA) is stopping the issuance of small business loans to foreign nationals, requiring that a business be 100 percent owned by a U.S. citizen or U.S. national to receive such a loan.
This week, the SBA published a memo requiring that, beginning next month, applicants for the agency’s primary small business loan be American citizens or American nationals.
“… effective March 1, 2026, SBA hereby revises Standard Operating Procedure 50 10 8 Lender and Development Company Loan Programs guidance related to businesses owned by non-U.S. citizens,” the memo states:
The Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) has ended its experiment with legalizing hard drugs, and the consensus among both public officials and citizens is that the program was a complete failure.
“This pilot was designed as a time-limited trial with ongoing monitoring built in so we could understand what was working, what wasn’t and where changes were needed. However, the pilot hasn’t delivered the results that we hoped for,” BC health minister Josie Osborne said on January 14 when announcing the impending end of the program.
BC legalized possession of up to 2.5 grams of nearly all drugs, including “hard” drugs like heroin, in 2023.
New countryside management plans are moving to make England’s most famed and picturesque rural areas more diverse lest they become “irrelevant” to the rapidly emerging new Britain, a report states.
National Landscapes, a group of government-designated areas of outstanding natural beauty are being targeted with diversity plans because they are perceived as being a “white environment”. According to a report by The Daily Telegraph, a proposal for diversification in one of these Landscapes, the Malvern Hills — the beauty of which is well known to have inspired the great compose Sir Edward Elgar — bluntly states that the area has to change because it suits white people who value
Authorities in west Texas and New Mexico are aggressively arresting and prosecuting illegal border crossers in construction zones and for engaging in a common practice at the border: impersonating construction workers.
Law enforcement officials in Texas have been apprehending illegal border crossers for years who dress in construction gear, including wearing reflective yellow vests and hard hats, The Center Square has observed. Often times, an entire carload of people will be wearing hard hats, law enforcement officials working through Texas’ Operation Lone Star have found. Once they’re pulled over and can’t speak English, officers quickly learn they’re dealing with illegal border crossers, The Center Square has observed.

cleaning home services, even for illegal immigrants 9 replies
Medi-Cal is paying an estimated $608 million per month for cooking, shopping, cleaning, and laundry services for elderly and disabled low-income California residents – including illegal immigrants – at their homes and mostly paid to their relatives, state records show.
These services are part of a federally-and-state-funded program called In-Home Supportive Services, which was designed to get people assistance at home without having to move to an expensive facility. But the program has grown so rapidly that it is responsible for 41% of job gains in California since January 2019, when Gov. Gavin Newsom took office. By the end of 2025, the program had grown to 799,379 taxpayer-funded “providers,” making IHSS
Democrats in the Washington state legislature are pushing a proposal that establishes a list of demographic groups that are presumed to be “socially disadvantaged” for the purposes of state business certification. Based on the breadth of those categories, roughly 70 percent of Washington state residents would fall under the bill’s definition of “socially disadvantaged.” Under existing statute, the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) defines a “socially disadvantaged individual” as someone who has experienced racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society due to group identity, stemming from circumstances beyond the individual’s control. The agency may also determine social disadvantage on a case-by-case basis.
The British countryside is in the midst of a diversity drive after a government-commissioned report found it was too 'white' and 'middle-class'. Officials charged with managing some of the country's best known beauty spots have laid out a series of proposals aimed at attracting minorities. In the wake of the report, officials representing National Landscapes - including the Cotswolds and Chilterns - have now published a series of management plans that detail their proposals to attract more minority communities. The Chiltern National Landscape will launch an outreach programme in Luton and High Wycombe targeted at Muslims.
Chloe Day School, a “progressive” public preschool in New York City, staged an anti-ICE protest and held anti-Trump signs in the classroom.
“The Chloe Day School and Wellness Center is a public preschool and wellness space that takes a progressive approach to learning, child development, and family empowerment,” Chloe Day School says.
“We believe children are naturally curious and capable of making meaningful discoveries when given opportunities to explore, play, and engage with their environment,” the school says.
“Children thrive best when supported by strong and healthy families,” they said.
Did you know the Biden administration worked overtime in its final days to try to stop you from buying things in bulk at the prices you love? It pushed aggressive lawsuits that threatened to make volume discounts — the precise reason Costco, Walmart, and similar stores can offer everyday low prices on all your household needs —much harder to come by. Now, thanks to actions ramping up this week, President Trump's Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson is positioned to shut down this nonsense once and for all.

Democrat Christian Menefee, a former attorney for Houston’s Harris County, has won a special congressional election in a left-leaning congressional district in Texas, which has been vacant for nearly a year.
The Associated Press reports that Menefee defeated former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards, a fellow Democrat, in Saturday’s runoff election to fill the seat left vacant when Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died last March.
Menefee’s victory means the Republicans’ razor-thin House majority — they currently control the chamber 218-213 — will shrink by one seat when Menefee is sworn in to Congress.
The federal government is set to end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitians on Feb. 3.
This means some Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, will no longer be able to work or live legally in the United States. City officials estimate that about 12,000-15,000 Haitian people live in Springfield.
A U.S. District Court judge is currently reviewing whether to suspend the expiration of TPS for Haitians.
TPS is granted by the Department of Homeland Security for people from specific countries deemed unsafe, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website.

I'm Just two years ago, Mary Barra, chief executive of General Motors, declared: “We believe in an all-electric future.” She went on to claim that the challenges her company was facing in the EV market were merely temporary bumps on the road to net zero. But as Bob Dylan famously observed, things have changed. On Jan. 8, GM announced it would take a $7.1 billion hit in charges against its earnings, of which $6 billion is due to Barra’s failed EV strategy. In a filing with the SEC, the company also warned that it would take more write-downs this year as part of a “strategic realignment of EV capacity.”
The Abigail Spanberger Bait-and-Switch
19 replies
During the 2025 gubernatorial election the voters of Virginia believed they were choosing between pragmatic Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger and lackluster Republican Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The former was well funded and portrayed favorably by the corporate “news” media as a centrist, while the latter struggled to raise money and was labeled an extremist because of her strong support of gun rights. Spanberger won by double digits and most Virginians thought they were getting a slightly more liberal governor than her predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Yet the moment she took office, it became obvious that Gov. Spanberger was no moderate.
Maine Democrats have been calling for over a year for the release of more files related to the infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but the disclosures may have caused some collateral damage for Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, candidate for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination. The sensational allegations against Gov. Mills surfaced Friday in a trove of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice as a part of its ongoing disclosure of materials related to the investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking and espionage ring. (snip) An anonymous tipster alleges that Mills was "instrumental" in covering up child sexual abuse and was "credibly named" in cocaine trafficking.

The Bay Area is experiencing mobs of bicycle riders stopping to attack and seriously injure drivers who provoke their wrath, while riding around in large groups that the cyclists call “ride outs.” ABC7News (KGO Television) reports:
A Santa Clara driver suffered fractures to his ribs and back after a mob of bicyclists brutally assaulted him following an accident involving one of them.
This is the latest in a string of violent incidents involving large groups of bicyclists, popularly known as “ride outs”, a rapidly growing trend where large, often informal groups of cyclists -- from dozens to thousands -- gather to ride through city streets.
The Trump administration has quietly decided to allow employers to import 65,000 extra H-2B visa migrants for jobs that would otherwise pay decent wages to ordinary American who vote in the midterm elections. The visa giveaway is part of President Trump’s zig-zagging between the two sides of his coalition — the voters he needs on election day, and the business donors who provide the funds for political campaigns. Meanwhile, the national media is ignoring the visa giveaway to business because it is focused on the left-wing street groups who are trying to block the deportation of criminal and wage-cutting illegal migrants from Minneapolis.
Donald Trump threatened Monday to begin legal action against “loser” Trevor Noah after the comedian said the president visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s island and needs it again to “hang out” with Bill Clinton. The South African provided no evidence for the allegation which has been dismissed outright as a lie and fabrication by Trump.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower,” host Noah brought up his Trump and Epstein allegation.
“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s efforts regarding the Arctic territory.
A Minnesota Democratic Party official is urging people on social media to "act neutral" to get seated on a jury and vote to acquit a woman accused of biting off a federal agent's finger tip.

In a Jan. 26 post on X, Kruse wrote that "no one should be going to prison for defending our city against ICE," and encouraged followers to spread information about "jury nullification."
