And there's still New Years Eve to come..... I wonder how they'll "celebrate" in Chicago? No need for fireworks; gun fire is most likely preferred.

Mayor Johnson and Gov Pritzker insist they have everything under control. Thank God! I would hate to think what it would be like if they didn't have it "under control". Guess 28 shootings is considered under control in their minds.

Shocking unearthed video from a 2018 state fraud case shows Minnesota parents dropping their children off at a day care center and then leaving with the kids moments later — as authorities probe a rampant billion-dollar fraud scheme in Minneapolis. In the surveillance footage, dated 2015 and obtained by Fox 9, parents are seen signing their kids into the facility so providers could bill the state for full days of care for children who didn’t actually attend. On some days, no families would even show up at all, but the day cares would still claim reimbursements from the government, the outlet reported at the time.

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-04) had a few choice words for the latest move by several blue state leaders who have blocked a huge promise President Donald Trump made to workers to cut taxes on tips and overtime. In a post on X on Monday, Johnson reacted to a New York Post piece about how Democrat-run states like California, New York, and Illinois have declined to give hardworking Americans a state-level tax break after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) (aka the “Working Families Tax Cut Act") exempted federal taxes on overtime pay and tipped wages. The provision takes effect January 1.

I can remember the first time I ever saw the Marxists openly suggest we collapse the nuclear family. It was on the Black Lives Matter official website where, among their goals, they listed their aim to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages' that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." It wasn't hard to connect the dots as to why they wanted this. The nuclear family is the ultimate authority in a child's life, and if you're an advocate for the state being the highest authority in everyone's lives,

With a new legislative season about to kick off and a socialist mayor taking office, Gov. Kathy Hochul will find herself under enormous pressure from left-wing Democrats as she vies for reelection. Yet if she totally caves, it could backfire come November. For starters, incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani and his far-left minions will demand her help in turning his lavish, pricey campaign promises into reality. That could spell bad news for the city and state, but Hochul will also face a dilemma of her own: If she knuckles under too much to the Mamdani camp, she may alienate independents and moderates, who make up a large part of the electorate upstate.

Embattled Rep.

Omar (D-MN) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in Minnesota. Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty Squad member, though she has not been charged.

Well, that was snow disappointing. The Big Apple only received a third of the predicted winter wonderland dumping — but enough precipitation still fell to snarl hundreds of fliers’ holiday plans. New Yorkers woke up Saturday morning to a roughly 4-inch blanket, a far cry from the nearly 11-inch pummeling city officials had warned was incoming. The storm was going into a lot of cold air, which is dense. It kind of slows things down quite a bit,” explained Accuweather meteorologist Melissa Constancer. New York’s sharp change in forecast came around 9 p.m. Friday, when the city’s Emergency Management department alerted that between just 2 and 5 inches were predicted to fall

Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted by a grand jury last month for allegedly stealing money from FEMA, published Thursday what appears to be an edited version of her House portrait minus a fancy ring. The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother Edwin Cherfilus and several co-defendants stole $5 million from FEMA, laundered the proceeds, and used them to fund her 2021 congressional campaign. Court documents allege that part of the stolen funds were used to purchase the missing yellow diamond ring, after the indictment claimed she cashed a cashier’s check worth approximately $109,000 to buy a ring on or about Sept. 1, 2021.

President Trump's name being added to The Kennedy Center has really upended the world of performing arts in the Nation's Capital. As RedState's Katie Jerkovich reported just a few weeks back, the White House announced that The Kennedy Center would officially be rebranded as The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts – or the Trump-Kennedy Center for short – after its board of trustees voted to rename it. The move came after Trump and Ric Grenell, Trump's handpicked interim president of the storied performing arts center, have spent much of 2025 working to modernize and upgrade the facility and its offerings.

Somali migrants are claiming that Minnesota’s economy would crash without them, even as the cost of Somali-run welfare fraud is growing on a weekly basis. Minnesota has been wracked with a series of massive welfare fraud cases, leaving Democrat governor and failed 2024 vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz reeling. Much of the multibillions in fraud has been perpetrated by Somali migrants, who first began pouring into the state in the 1990s. However, one state legislator is insisting that Minnesota would not be able to survive without Somalians. Democrat Minnesota State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed — who was born in Somalia — in a recent interview said, “We are in every industry, and Minnesota would not

The New York City Council has passed what has been called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) that will force private building owners to offer up their property to nonprofits and government entities before they make any private sale, effectively causing massive delays in property sales and other regulatory hurdles in the Big Apple’s housing industry. In the scenario that it is passed, NYC will have the largest COPA program in the country. The act forces landlords to offer their property to the city as well as nonprofits before the building can be sold on the public market.

The mullahs have ruled in Iran since 1979. That's a long time. But there are still people who remember what it was like in the country before. They remember what it was like to have more freedom then. There have been resistance movements ever since, inside and outside Iran, trying to bring change. They've had moments in the past where things seemed to come close, such as with the Green Movement that started in 2009, and had hundreds of thousands in the streets. But Barack Obama was in office in 2009, so their hopes of any support were dashed. Then, too, in 2016, he secretly flew $400 million to Iran.
