In an interview with Reuters, President Trump was asked why the Russia/Ukraine negotiations appear to have stalled. President Trump responded with one word, “Zelenskyy.”
WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters that Ukraine – not Russia – is holding up a potential peace deal, rhetoric that stands in marked contrast to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending its war in Ukraine.

NUUK, Greenland — Troops from several European countries continued to arrive in Greenland on Thursday in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. highlighted “fundamental disagreement” over the future of the Arctic island.
Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland on Wednesday as foreign ministers from Denmark and Greenland were preparing to meet with White House representatives in Washington. Several European partners — including France, Germany, the U.K., Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands — started sending symbolic numbers of troops already on Wednesday or promised to do so in the following days.

A group of Republicans is launching a bid to impeach Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
State Representative Mike Wiener provided Newsweek with articles of impeachment he had drafted to remove Walz from office, while on X, other Republicans in the state House said they wanted to introduce articles of impeachment against the Democrat amid mounting concerns about fraud in the state.
"Democrat control of our state has led to 9 billion dollars of fraud that we currently know about," Wiener told Newsweek. "Governor Walz said 'the buck stops with him.' Since he refused to resign the next step is impeachment.

From the moment the Renee Good case broke, it had all the ingredients of a political wildfire. On one side, you had left-wing activists, media outlets, and grifters working overtime to turn the death of radical lesbian Renee Good into the next “Summer of Love.” On the other hand, you had reasonable people who watched the footage and tried to figure out what really happened… because when more video angles were shared, the narrative everyone was being sold began to unravel.m (snip)Thanks to a new report from CBS News, the media’s favorite victim script has been dealt a serious death blow.

Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, both appointees of President Donald Trump, appeared to be buying into “transgender” ideology during oral arguments for a case regarding men playing in women’s sports.
Gorsuch’s major contribution to the Tuesday oral arguments thus far was relatively early on, when he suggested that people identifying as “transgender” should be considered a “discrete” group “given the history of de jure discrimination against transgender individuals in this country.” The justice essentially asked whether those who claim to be “transgender” should be a legally protected class.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington DC, Jeanine Pirro, goes public explaining the backstory of the DOJ reviewing the Federal Reserve Board and Chairman Jerome Powell.
As noted by USAO Pirro, Chairman Powell refused to respond to questions for two months despite three repeated requests. The DOJ was then forced to issue a subpoena to get a response. Again, Powell never responded; instead, he went to the media to claim he was being politically targeted. WATCH: (Video)

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the December price information on Tuesday 1/13/26 [DATA HERE]. Overall, the topline inflation number is moderate at 2.7% much lower than economists projected.However, that’s not the only important element. To get an understanding of the impact from tariffs to imported consumer goods, you can look at TABLE-2 [DATA HERE]. As you skim the categories we import the most, electronics, television, sporting goods, apparel, shoes, tools, furniture, etc. what you will note is that the prices are stable with negligible inflation impact noted.

Juliana Peres Magalhães, 25, took the stand Tuesday for Brendan Banfield's trial on aggravated murder and firearms charges in the deaths of his wife and a stranger.
Christine Banfield, a pediatric ICU nurse, was stabbed and Joseph Ryan was shot in a Herndon, Virginia, home on Feb. 24, 2023, medical experts and police testified Tuesday.
Prosecutors are trying to convince a jury that Brendan Banfield, 40, staged the killings to look like Ryan was an intruder who stabbed Christine before Brendan shot Ryan in defense.
“We’re here today because Brendan Banfield, the man seated behind me, killed his wife, Christine Banfield, and another man, named Joseph Ryan

"He didn’t do anything wrong. These accusations are false as the investigator from the independent law firm found."

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to uphold state laws that ban transgender athletes from taking part in girls' and women's school and college sports.
The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, heard more than three hours of oral arguments in separate cases involving two transgender students, Becky Pepper-Jackson and Lindsay Hecox, who challenged state bans in West Virginia and Idaho, respectively.
Both won lower court injunctions that allowed them to continue to compete in sports.During arguments, questions asked by justices indicated a majority appeared reluctant to find that the laws violate either the 14th Amendment to the Constitution,

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the first official set of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that are designated as “global terrorist” organizations. The first set will not come as a big surprise: Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood were chased out of the country by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi over a decade ago. The Jordanian chapter is similarly aligned and was previously targeted by King Abdullah. The Lebanese faction is not as well known, but their support for Hamas is well understood.
