President Donald Trump has called for a “total and complete blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers from Venezuela in an escalation of tensions with the South American country.…
“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us,” Trump said on Truth Social Tuesday evening.
The fifth person arrested over an alleged New Year’s Eve bombing plot by a far-left terrorist group is a transgender Marine veteran who wanted to “recreate Waco” on ICE agents, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.
Micah James Legnon, 29, was arrested in Louisiana on Saturday after being tied to chats with suspected members of the far-left terrorist group Turtle Island Liberation Front as they allegedly plotted to plant pipe bombs on businesses and then ICE agents, according to the FBI investigation. Legnon — who went by “Kateri TheWitch” and “DarkWitch She/Her” in chat groups — appeared to be planning an attack in New Orleans to coincide
At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell gave an update on the murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner.
Hochman announced that he would be filing charges against Nick Reiner on two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Reiner also faces a special allegation that he "personally used" a dangerous and deadly weapon – a knife – in the commission of those murders. The charges, according to Hochman, carry a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Former President Joe Biden requested executive privilege amid the Congressional investigations into his administration's use of the autopen, with the Trump administration rejecting the request Tuesday, Fox News Digital learned. "I am concerned that disclosure of these materials would damage important institutional interests of the Presidency, including by impairing the ability of future Presidents to receive robust, candid advice from their close advisers. For these reasons, I hereby assert executive privilege over the documents listed," Biden wrote in a letter to Archival Operations Division of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Oct. 1, 2025, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
The enhanced Obamacare subsidies Democrats shut down the government to protect back in October are officially dead. House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed the door on extending the bloated COVID-era handout, saying the House will focus instead on moving forward with a new Republican healthcare package.
The temporary subsidies, born out of pandemic panic, were supposed to expire at the end of this year. Democrats, of course, wanted them extended indefinitely—because nothing is ever temporary in Washington when it involves taxpayer money. But Johnson made it clear on Tuesday that this was the end of the line.

down student's profile as search for suspect intensifies replies
After the Dec 13 Brown Univ shooting that killed two, FBI hunts a suspect as social media speculates over a removed student profile; no link confirmed… As the manhunt rages on, a move by Brown University caused a massive row, sparking speculation that it could be linked to Saturday's shooting. On Tuesday, users on social media noticed that the university had taken down the profile of a first-year student, Mustapha Kharbouch.
President Donald Trump’s tasteless comments following the apparent murder of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner on Sunday showed that the president, at least on that occasion, had a speck in his eye.
Before criticizing Trump, however, liberals should make sure to remove the logs from their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3)
Recall, for instance, that a swarm of liberals, including Reiner himself, once greeted news of the late conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis — and later Limbaugh’s death — with politically-motivated heartlessness. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this *****g man,” Reiner wrote
Vice President JD Vance flipped the script on a Washington Post reporter after the journalist brought up a recent interview White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave to Vanity Fair, in which she allegedly referred to him as a “conspiracy theorist.” During the exchange on Tuesday, Vance told the reporter that he only believes in conspiracy theories that are “true.”
You have to give Vance credit—he doesn’t shy away from tough questions from the media. He consistently delivers sharp responses, managing to come across as both likable and tough at the same time. He would make a strong successor
Last time it was Steve Bannon who held multiple interviews with Michael Wolff for his book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

President Trump defended White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in an exclusive interview with The Post Tuesday — saying she was right to tell Vanity Fair he has an “alcoholic’s personality” and that he has full faith in Wiles to continue in her role. Trump, 79, reiterated that he avoids alcohol, saying in the interview he has a “possessive and addictive type personality” and that he wasn’t offended by her word choice. “No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic.

Claims that Agents Pulled Over Her Son:
‘Zero Record’ replies
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has rejected the viral claims made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) alleging that ICE agents pulled over her son after he went to Target.
Omar alleged in an interview that her son got pulled over by ICE agents, asserting that he was allowed to leave once he produced his passport.
“He did get pulled over by ICE agents and once he was able to produce his passport ID they did let him go,” she claimed.
“So your son went to Target last night with his passport,” the WCCO interviewer asked.
“He always carries it with him,” Omar said.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced a pair of bills Tuesday to strengthen immigration security and to ensure that only American citizens are eligible for in-state college tuition, telling Breitbart News that his legislation is aimed at “closing loopholes that are frequently exploited” by illegal migrants.
The Put American Students First Act points to 22 states and Washington, DC for violating Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which prohibits in-state tuition rates being granted to students who are not lawful residents of the state, unless the same rates are offered to all citizens of the United States regardless of residence.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for more gun control in response to Saturday’s handgun attack at gun-free Brown University.
He did not mention the school’s gun-free policy nor that it goes so far as to prevent concealed carry permit holders from being armed on campus for self-defense.
Instead, Schumer went with the standard Democrat talking point of pushing more gun laws after extant gun control fails to prevent a criminal from acting out his heinous intentions.
Forbes posted video of Schumer claiming Australia is showing “courage” by seeking ways to expand and implement new gun controls after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
The Trump administration is doing damage control after a new series of extraordinarily candid interviews with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles set the political world ablaze.
In a series of eleven interviews with Vanity Fair conducted throughout the first year of President Trump’s second term, Wiles gave her unfiltered thoughts on Trump’s “alcoholic” personality, Vice President JD Vance’s “sort of political” conversion to Trumpism, Elon Musk’s “odd” behavior and drug use, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mistakes in handling the Epstein files.

Brown University is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation ... allegedly.
Allegedly they have 851 cameras on the campus, too.
And yet a murderer gained entrance to a building where a study session for an upcoming exam was taking place. The shooter killed two students and injured 11 others.
He shouted something but the police refuse to say what those words were. One student came face to face with the shooter but his description, if he gave one, has not been revealed.
Within a few hours, Providence police said they had arrested a “person of interest,”

Last week I wrote about the presentation, at Oslo City Hall, of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado of Venezuela, who has led a courageous struggle for freedom against her country’s monstrous dictator, Nicolás Maduro. (Snip)
On the previous evening, as it happens, another freedom fighter was also welcomed in Oslo. I am referring to Tommy Robinson, the 43-year-old Englishman who has long been his country’s most vocal critic of Islamic rape gangs and of the government officials who have covered them up. There was one important thing that the Nobel Prize ceremony and the Tommy Robinson event had in common. In a word: Trump.
Federal prosecutors and Homeland Security officials vowed zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement after a criminal illegal alien from Mexico was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a brutal assault on an ICE officer in Wichita, Kansas. The sentence is the maximum penalty allowed for this charge under federal law.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas Ryan A. Kriegshauser condemned the attack as “completely unacceptable” and praised the courage of officers who risk their lives daily. At the same time, Homeland Security Investigations Kansas City Special Agent in Charge Charles J. Cole underscored that anyone who lays a hand on federal agents will face swift and severe justice.
Syria has arrested five people suspected of having links to the shooting of US and Syrian troops in the central Syrian town of Palmyra yesterday, the Interior Ministry says. Two US Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed by an attacker who targeted a convoy of American and Syrian forces before being shot dead. The Syrian Interior Ministry described the attacker as a member of the Syrian security forces suspected pf sympathizing with the Islamic State.
If you ever wonder why people are fed up with the asylum system in the West, you need look no further than the case of I Don’t Know.
I’m calling the Afghan refugee that because, first, I don’t know what his name is. In fact, to hear him tell it, he might not even know. Second, I’m calling him that because that’s the answer he gave over 150 times during his asylum hearing with the U.K. Home Office.
And, according to a report from the U.K. Telegraph last week, the man was granted refugee status by a judge who found him “credible,” meaning he has asylum in Britain until 2029.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother “sick” after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter.
Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar’s potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar’s state of Minnesota.
While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that the crime’s statute of limitations could present a problem when it comes

The Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking, but not at all surprising.
Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar.
These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets,
Federal investigators believed there was significant evidence worth pursuing related to possible criminality involving the Clinton Foundation and the State Department’s approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russian state-owned interests, but delays by the Justice Department and FBI led the inquiry to whither and die because of statute of limitations issues.
The sale of the Canada-based Uranium One to the Russian state-owned Rosatom was the focus of great controversy and scrutiny from Republicans and others who argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton helped approve the deal and that the Clinton Foundation may have stood to benefit from it.

(snip) After SCOTUS reversed Beetlestone in 2020, the former journalist -- who serves concurrently as chancellor of the University of Liverpool -- put the case on hold at the request of the Biden administration, which proposed but never finalized a regulation that theoretically would have removed religious employers from any complicity in contraceptive access.

Hollywood imbecile Amanda Seyfried thinks that “socialism is a gorgeous idea.” While on a media tour promoting her latest movie, “The Testament of Ann Lee,” Seyfried told Variety that most people don’t “understand what the word [socialism] actually means.”
“For me, it’s taking care of each other. If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people,” Seyfried said in defense of socialism.
Sadly, Seyfried is a moron who knows nearly nothing about the hideous history of socialism. Moreover, her assertion that socialism is beneficial to society and results in people taking care of each other is absurd.
Every time socialism has been implemented, it has led to mass poverty,
Well, if you caught that snippet from last night’s shambolic presser about the Brown University shooting, you’ll know that the authorities are still not answering what the shooter allegedly said before the attack. There are too many witnesses saying the same thing, so next time this circus comes before the podium, they'd better have an answer. It’s been making the rounds on social media, but witnesses claim the shooter yelled, ‘Allahu Akbar’ before opening fire. Two people were killed in the attack, and another eight were wounded. Ella Cook, 19, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, have been identified as the decedents

The Obamas were supposed to meet with director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the night they were allegedly killed by their son, Nick Reiner, in their home in Los Angeles. “We were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” Michelle Obama said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night, when host Jimmy Kimmel asked how she was coping with the news of her friends’ murders.

I think this might be one of the most important posts I’ve written in a while — not so much for what I’ve written here, but for what I’ve highlighted. See what you think. It is about what the Left — in particular, the Boomer Left — has done to our politics. This is about something that might never get fixed. It’s about where postliberalism comes from. It’s about where Nick Fuentes comes from. (Snip) If you are shocked by Nick Fuentes, it shows that you have a heart.
Evil though he is, Fuentes is merely following the path laid down by the American left for the last half century.
The Trump administration launched a new initiative Monday aimed at recruiting top-tier technical talent to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) at the federal level. The hiring program, known as "Tech Force," plans to recruit roughly 1,000 early-career technologists for a two-year service term across various federal agencies.
"The main objective of this program is there's a ton of technology modernization work that needs to get done across pretty much every agency in the government," Scott Kupor, director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), told Fox News Digital on Monday.
One of the unanswered questions raised by Minnesota’s massive welfare scandal is how it could have gone on so long, given its scale and the fact that alarm bells had been clanging for years.
The New York Times provided the answer, if inadvertently, when it quoted a former fraud investigator in the state attorney general’s office, who said that “There is a perception that forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash among the Somali community, which is a core voting bloc” for Democrats.
That is it in a nutshell when it comes to government waste, fraud, and abuse.
The Mountain Brook woman who was killed in the Brown University shooting was the vice president of the school's Republican club and was likely targeted, according to multiple sources. Ella Cook was one of two shot and killed on Saturday while studying with a group of students.
"We are devastated to learn of the loss of our Brown College Republicans Vice President, Ella Cook," the club's president, Martin Bertao, stated. "Ella was known for her bold, brave, and kind heart as she served her chapter and her fellow classmates.

On July 13, 2023, Mohamad Barakat, a Syrian refugee, packed up several rifles and handguns 1,800 rounds of ammo, a hand grenade, and a car filled with gas cans on the way to carry out an Islamic terrorist attack at Fargo’s Downtown Street fair aiming to kill thousands of Americans. Instead the terror refugee got into a confrontation with police and died in an exchange of fire.
North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley insisted that there was ‘no evidence of political, racial or religious motivation’. “At this point it seems [no] more notable that he’s Muslim than I’m Lutheran,” he bafflingly argued. He also dismissed footage of Mohamad holding a Koran.
Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, who is now a political analyst, is reportedly weighing a bid for the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, according to sources cited by OutKick. Insiders indicate she plans to finalize her decision at the beginning of 2026.
Tafoya recently traveled to Washington, D.C. where she met with officials from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the Senate Leadership Fund, as well as other stakeholders. According to OutKick, the NRSC has actively recruited her for the Minnesota Senate race, which features a competitive Democratic primary between progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig, who has drawn support from party establishment figure Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is reportedly poised to elevate a deeply controversial figure to one of the most powerful legal posts in his administration. According to the New York Post, Ramzi Kassem—a lawyer who has defended an al Qaeda terrorist and a radical anti-Israel activist at Columbia—is the leading candidate for Chief Counsel. Kassem is already a part of Mamdani’s inner circle, serving as a legal affairs adviser on the transition team. He also teaches law at the City University of New York, further underscoring the ideological extremism he intends to bring into City Hall.
Kassem, 47, was one of the attorneys who defended Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born leader of the pro-Palestinian
Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits Monday against five major television companies for allegedly spying on state residents by secretly recording what they watch in their own homes.
The lawsuits include two China-based television companies, Hisense and TCL Technology Group Corporation, which Paxton claimed pose serious concerns about consumer data harvesting.
The three American companies are Sony, Samsung and LG.
“Companies, especially those connected to the Chinese Communist Party, have no business illegally recording Americans’ devices inside their own homes,” Paxton said.
The FBI foiled a New Year's Eve terrorist plot, arresting four members of a radical anti-Israel extremist group accused of planning five coordinated bombings across Los Angeles, the Department of Justice announced Monday. The scheme involved painting Hamas triangles near their targets, and photos show "Free Palestine" stickers scattered across bomb-making stations, according to a criminal complaint.
The complaint indicates that Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai—who were charged by federal prosecutors with conspiracy and possession of unregistered destructive devices following their Friday arrest—hold significant ties to the anti-Israel movement. They belong to the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), "an anti-capitalist, anti-government movement"

Comedian David Sedaris illustrates the phenomenon nicely in an essay for The New Yorker. Sedaris, who once joked about going back in time and smothering an infant Donald Trump, is hardly a conservative. But Sedaris built a career on noting the idiosyncrasies of his class, so his observations here aren’t without precedent.
Sedaris’ troubles began, as so many do, by taking a walk in Portland, Oregon.

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, is (despite his denials) quite clearly a Marxist, dreaming of the day when he can seize the means of production. He is also a Twelver Shi’ite Muslim — you know, the good folks who rule the Islamic Republic of Iran and scream “Death to America” on a routine basis. And so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Mamdani’s plans for New York are not exactly going to transform the Big Apple into a hub for business and opportunity.
The Australian Jewish Association, or AJA, describes itself as a "National membership org based on authentic Jewish & centre-right Australian values." Sounds like a reasonable organization, in what was once a reasonable country. But Australia, it seems, is no longer a reasonable country, as evidenced by Sunday's Bondi Beach atrocity, and the AJA isn't shy about who is to blame. The post continues: That's a rather long post, and I repeat it in its entirety because it's important; it bears contemplation, while the horrors of the Bondi Beach terror attack are fresh in our minds.
I strongly suspect the sentiments I am about to express mean this is not going to be a very popular article, and I equally strongly suspect the Daily Sceptic is one of the very few publications in this country which would actually print it. But, when it comes to Australia’s horrific Bondi Beach shooting, in which at least 15 Jews celebrating Hannukah were shot dead by a father-and-son team of presumable Islamists, it may in some ways have been better if the brave and noble actions of the man who ran up to one of the two terrorists and wrestled his gun away had not happened.

President Donald Trump upped the ante in the war on drugs after making an official move to classify the deadly drug fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD), allowing for new tools for the government to stop the flood of the lethal drug that’s killed way too many Americans. In the Oval Office on Monday, Trump signed an executive order designating illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemical as a WMD, per a White House press release.

President Trump lodged an eye-watering $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, accusing the British broadcaster of defaming him through a deceptive edit of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the White House Ellipse.
The lawsuit took aim at a 2024 documentary by the BBC, which spliced different sections of Trump’s comments before his supporters ransacked the Capitol to make it appear as though he explicitly encouraged the riot.
