Setting Up the 2026 Midterms
5 replies
Ten months ahead of November’s midterms, political and economic crosscurrents are colliding. Which of these conflicting trends prevails will greatly shape the next two years. And possibly even longer.
Midterm elections are always important. Besides gauging the country’s political mood, they have proven integral to maintaining America’s political equilibrium.
They are the “ebb” to the “flow” of America’s political tide. Historically, every four years, a large tide of voters goes to the polls and elects a president. Then every two years, the large voter flow ebbs back and the president’s party suffers accordingly.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) proclaimed a “new era” as he took the helm of the country’s largest city on New Year’s Day.
Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist whose star rocketed last year, was publicly sworn in on the steps of City Hall, where he addressed a crowd of thousands in a sweeping inauguration speech attended by top progressive allies.
“My fellow New Yorkers, today begins a new era,” Mamdani said.
Here are five takeaways from Mamdani’s inauguration and his first hours in the mayor’s office:
Elon Musk issued a stark warning after a viral TikTok clip appeared to show a Somali TikTok user making a chilling remark about his life.
The video, which rapidly spread across social media platforms, shows an unidentified TikTok user livestreaming while playing a video of Elon Musk on her phone.
After speaking in a non-English language, the user switched to English and stated: “I wouldn’t worry too much about him. He about to die.” Musk responded directly on X with a terse message that quickly went viral, later pinning it to the top of his account: “Then it is war.”
You made it to 2026! On the menu today: James Lynch will catch you up on newly sworn in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan “to eliminate police sweeps of homeless encampments”; Elliott Abrams will lay out the hopes for the potential demise of repressive and anti-American regimes in the Caribbean in the coming year; and Kamden Mulder examines the worst of the new laws going into effect in blue states this year. But today’s newsletter will turn our attention on Iran. In the wee hours of the morning, President Trump warned,

A heroic off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent thwarted a possible active shooting by gunning down his neighbor as the man was firing shots into the air at their Los Angeles apartment complex, the feds said.
The agent, who hasn’t been identified publicly, jumped into action when his neighbor opened fire with a rifle at the complex on Roscoe Boulevard in Northridge on New Year’s Eve, according to authorit authorities.

Abuser Who Immediately Murdered Mother
of His Children 10 replies
A defund-the-police organization bailed out a repeat domestic abuser who went on to strangle and slash his ex-girlfriend to death in front of their children.
Mohamed Adan, 36, had a documented history of violent assaults against Racheal Abraham, 36, the mother of two of his kids.
Adan was sentenced last week for the murder, and the prosecutor did not hold back in placing blame for Abraham’s death on the leftist activists who helped free him. Despite clear warnings and multiple arrests, the Portland Freedom Fund, a now-defunct group dedicated to abolishing police and highlighting racial disparities in the bail system, paid $2,000 to secure his release.

As PJ Media previously reported, the Justice Department has been releasing more from the Epstein files. Instead of the incriminating information about Trump, it was former President Bill Clinton’s long‑standing ties to Jeffrey Epstein that came under scrutiny again.
The tranche, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump, included photos of Clinton shirtless in a hot tub next to a person whose face is redacted as a victim, as well as images of him in a pool near Ghislaine Maxwell and socializing with Epstein and various celebrities.
On al-Jazeera on Friday, the Gaza imam Hussein Abu Ayada revealed the secret of the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It’s actually an ill-kept secret, for Palestinian leaders, and supporters of the Palestinian cause in the Islamic Republic of Iran and elsewhere, mention it frequently. But it never, ever shows up in all of the mountains of literature that Western policymakers and mainstream foreign policy analysts have produced about this intractable conflict, and about how it can be managed. We, the Palestinian people,” said Abu Ayada, “obey and submit to the orders of Allah. And we know that the war that the Jews are leading against us is for no reason.”

As Special Envoy to Greenland in Surprise Appointment 5 replies
President Donald Trump has appointed Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as the United States Special Envoy to Greenland. The selection of a sitting state governor for a federal diplomatic role is unusual.
Trump announced the appointment on Sunday evening on Truth Social. He emphasized Greenland’s critical role in U.S. national security. “Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World,” Trump wrote in his post. Whether Landry will step down from his gubernatorial position or attempt to balance both roles simultaneously remains unknown.
Now, failing Macron wants to hold talks with Putin.
But Merz took the lead when meaningful negotiations took place days ago in Berlin – not Paris.
When we look at Emmanuel Macron’s last moves, we can see that the Franch President’s new impulse to hold talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin as another desperate attempt to remain relevant.
As a part of the ‘coalition of the willing’, Macron was sharing the crowded European stage with UK’s Keir Starmer and Germany’s Friedrich Merz. Together, they were working to derail the peace process.
President Trump Ups Ante in War on Drugs

With Shocking New Classification for Lethal Narcotic 5 replies
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.
Today I am taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country, “Trump said. “With this historic executive order…

Rep. Eric Swalwell has promised to strip federal immigration officers of driving privileges if they wear masks while working in California, and that pledge has set off a legal and political fight. His comments came as he runs for governor and as California navigates a state law aimed at unmasking ICE agents, a move the federal government calls unconstitutional. The debate now centers on federal supremacy, public safety, and whether state leaders are playing political theater at the expense of law enforcement and immigrants alike.
Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sparked outrage Friday after ordering that 16 state landmarks – including Manhattan’s One World Trade Center – be illuminated in green to celebrate “the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans.”
Hochul’s decision to light up the skyscraper erected on the site where the Twin Towers were knocked down by terrorists during the 9/11 attacks was decried as “tone deaf” and “disgusting” by several social media users.
“The twin towers were unable to be lit green tonight,” Queens Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino wrote on X. “It’s disgusting that the Freedom Tower – which stands at the World Trade Center site
The U.S. military carried out a "large-scale strike" in Venezuela early Saturday morning and took Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife into custody, President Donald Trump confirmed.
The president wrote on Truth Social that the operation was successful and Maduro and his wife were "captured and flown out of the country." Trump said the operation was conducted with U.S. law enforcement and added that a news conference will take place at Mar-a-Lago at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

"The Venezuelan opposition has already mobilized to secure government buildings and work toward establishing a legitimate administration."

Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were indicted in the Southern District of New York, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced early on Jan. 3.
“Nicolás Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” Bondi said on X. “They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”
Bondi issued the statement hours after Maduro and Flores were captured and extracted by U.S. armed forces in Caracas in the early hours of Jan. 3.

Until the past 24 hours, Nicolás Maduro Moros and other Venezuelan high-ranking individuals in the Maduro regime ran the Cartel of the Suns (Cartel de los Soles). Now that the U.S. has penetrated Venezuela’s defenses to capture and arrest Maduro, things have changed.
Maduro and his regime had corrupted the institutions of that country, including its military, its intelligence apparatus, its legislature, and its judiciary, all to aid his cartel’s massive criminal operations.
The Cartel de los Soles originated in Venezuela, and has been involved in the illicit drug trade, human smuggling and trafficking, extortion, sexual exploitation of women and children, and money laundering, along with other criminal activities.
Have you ever wondered why Democrats are so aggressively defending rampant fraud in Minnesota? Why Gov. Tim Walz so desperately wants to handle the investigation on his own? There’s a simple explanation: it has nothing to do with protecting vulnerable communities or fighting discrimination. Democrats are shielding these schemes because they profit directly from them.
Somali-run childcare centers, adult care facilities, and social service operations across the country are getting funded through programs riddled with fraud, and then the Democrats who enabled the fraud and looked the other way get a kickback.
The arrangement works beautifully for everyone except the taxpayers funding it.
The City of Portland has officially rolled out a new taxpayer-funded benefit: paid “Immigration, Naturalization, and Citizenship Leave” Human Resources Administrative Rule (HRAR) 6.15.
City officials have now committed public funds to cover paid leave for immigration court proceedings—including deportation hearings while blocking basic oversight, all while the city is facing a $66 million shortfall.
As of January 1, 2026, city workers in Portland, Oregon, can now clock out for up to 40 hours a year — without losing pay or benefits — to deal with immigration-related legal matters for themselves or for family members.
Eligible employees may use this leave for activities such as:

A massive amount of streaming TV shows aimed at small children contain sexualized LGBTQ+ content, despite efforts to create a more detailed ratings system to help parents navigate streaming content.For instance, 41 percent of shows that are supposed to be G-rated for kids on Netflix still has blatant gay content, including transgenderism, according to a year-end report by the activist group Concerned Women for America (CWA).The group also found that 21 percent of shows in the TV-Y category, which is meant to cover kids up to seven years, also has LGBTQ+ content. And the numbers only get worse for older kids.
