order requiring state cooperation with ICE
Posted By: NHChemist, 1/17/2026 8:46:06 PM
Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger reversed a high-profile immigration enforcement policy established by outgoing Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Spanberger, sworn in earlier in the day as Virginia’s 75th governor and the first woman to hold the office, signed an executive action rescinding Executive Order 47—a directive issued last year that had authorized Virginia State Police and Department of Corrections personnel to assist federal immigration authorities under a 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The repeal ends formal cooperation between state law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement efforts.

The average IQ in Somalia is 68. People will be diagnosed with an intellectual disability if their IQ falls below 70. (Snip) People opened their hearts and their wallets, ultimately contributing $6.6 million to the MCF. They thought the money was earmarked for the shooting victims and their families. Instead, per the Maine Wire, [T]he MCF distributed just $4.7 million to those individuals. The remaining $1.9 million went to NGOs, many of them politically connected, and many of them involved in the nebulous world of “migrant services.”
Researchers turn plastic into paracetamol

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have engineered a strain of Escherichia coli that relies on small molecules from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles to survive. The synthetic metabolic process they designed converts nearly 100% of PET-derived substrates into the world’s most commonly used painkiller, acetaminophen,(Snip) Conventional pharmaceutical manufacturing has an enormous carbon footprint—55% more emission intensive than that of the automotive industry—but this new method leaves virtually no carbon emissions.
Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report. These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet. The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers.
Trump’s hidden tax increase?
15 replies
I’ll admit I agree with almost all of President Donald Trump’s initiatives, but there’s one about which I have some doubts: stopping the minting of pennies. Yes, I know that pennies cost more to make than they’re worth. (Snip) The nearest rounding option would be five cents (though there’s a smaller lobby gunning to kill the nickel, too). That means every transaction in Colorado — the lowest state sales tax at 2.9% — will get rounded up. New York City, whose combined tax cut on most sales is effectively 8.875%, will also get rounded up.

ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates.(SNIP) ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to “automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and have the highest level of risk as determined,” by its solution provider, Sift.
The last eight years at the Department of Justice have been a disaster for the rule of law. The sprawling intelligence and law enforcement agency ran the Russia collusion hoax, hamstringing President Donald Trump during his entire first term in office. (Snip) The report comes years after DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims on the grounds that the two central witnesses had serious credibility issues. Yet these are the same two central witnesses the House Ethics Committee has relied on for its critical report of Gaetz
A recent boat parade in Florida supporting President Donald Trump took an unexpected turn when a vessel flying Nazi flags appeared among the flotilla. The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, has sparked debate about the true identity of the flag-bearers and the response from other parade participants. The event, which took place off the coast of Florida, was initially reported by Newsweek with a headline suggesting that Nazi symbols were openly displayed at the Trump boat parade.
“Swastika Flags Flown During Trump Boat Parade in Florida,” the headline read.
A policy that allows school staff to keep a child’s transgender status a secret does not violate a parent’s fundamental rights under the New Hampshire constitution, the state’s Supreme Court has held. The policy was challenged by a New Hampshire mother who sued the Manchester school district after finding out from a teacher that her minor child (identified as M.C.) had asked school staff and students to be called by a name typically associated with the opposite sex.

The National Rifle Association scored a win at the Supreme Court Thursday when justices ruled 9-0 the Second Amendment organization's First Amendment lawsuit against financial regulators in New York can move forward. The NRA sued New York after former Superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services Maria Vullo - under pressure from New York Attorney General Letitia James - pressured private financial institutions not to do business with the group with threats of government regulation.

It's not just record capital gains taxes that Americans have to look forward to if they choose "4 more years, pause" of the senile occupant in the White House: As Epoch Times' Jeffrey Tucker reports, property taxes are also about to soar. (Snip) In the United States, you pay property taxes on your home. This reality gives rise to the perennial question: do you really own your home if maintaining that title requires paying huge property taxes on the place annually? If you don’t pay, the house is taken over by the state, period. It feels a bit like renting doesn’t it?
Catholic Medical Center in Manchester will lay off 54 employees as a response to financial difficulties, hospital leaders said. (Snip) Walker said rising costs, lower reimbursement for services, shifting demographics and changes in the payor mix — the share of patient revenue that comes from Medicare and Medicaid vs. privately insured and self-paying patients — had all contributed to the hospital’s “financial stress.”

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.
This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.
Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.
Actress Frances Fisher lead a left-wing assumable cast calling for a mass “walkout” in protest of President Donald Trump and a “walk in” to congressional offices to demand the president’s impeachment.
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore,” the Edge of Night and Titanic star screamed into the camera at the top of the two-minute video.
“IT’S PAST TIME! On January 20, the one year anniversary of this illegal administration, we are demanding that it come to an end!” the Remove Coalition Instagram post read. “In partnership with the @womensmarch #freeamerica WALKOUT, we will then WALK IN to local congressional offices peacefully demanding impeachment
Left-wing media pundit Don Lemon claimed he was just acting "as a journalist" when he videotaped a mob of anti-ICE agitators storming a church in Minnesota on Sunday. At the same time, he appeared to coordinate with the group and was seen on video kissing the head organizer of the “operation.” The incident is now under DOJ investigation.
Lemon was seen on video giving "Operation Pull Up" organizer leader Nekima Armstrong a kiss on the cheek prior to the agitators storming the church in St. Paul. Lemon, on video, also said that he knew that the agitators were “gearing up for resistance and protest” at the church
No politician is more of an enigma than Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
For years she has been rumored to have married her brother – allegations she has called 'absurd and offensive'. Her family fortunes, steered by her white, American husband, have curiously skyrocketed to $30million.
And more recently, her Minneapolis community has been mired in shocking fraud allegations.But even more disconcerting is the question about her citizenship.
Is Ilhan Omar really an American?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom will be making the roughly 6,000 mile journey this week from the Hollywood Hills to the Swiss Alps to rip into President Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Trump’s economic agenda betrays our nation: it is not ‘America First’ but ‘Trump First’ — rewarding the favored, punishing the dissenters, and burdening the rest,” Newsom told Politico in a statement. Newsom, largely seen as a top presidential contender, was scheduled to speak on Thursday, one day after Trump was set to take the stage.
The Democrat plans to confront Trump’s view of capitalism as “an assault on the free market,” and label the president as a

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.
The latest elected official to earn Alinsky's approval, while also making a mockery of law and order, is Minnesota's Attorney General himself, Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison, who is Muslim and the top law enforcement officer in the state, appeared Monday on Don Lemon's livestream to discuss the Sunday ambush of services at Cities Church in St. Paul by a horde of anti-ICE agitators.

store, demand retailer stop helping federal agents 17 replies
Anti-ICE protesters staged a sit-in inside and occupied a Target store in Minnesota on Monday, demanding that the retailer take a stand against federal immigration authorities. A group of protesters occupied the store, claiming Target was allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to operate in its parking lot. "Target parking lots have been a meeting place for ICE agents," one protester holding an "Abolish ICE" sign said at the retailer's St. Paul location. "ICE agents are using the toilets at Target, so they're facilitating this invasion." Target is serving as a "staging ground" for ICE, he
Americans love pickup trucks — they are our national vehicle.
Pickups are practical and fun to drive. You can use them for work, home projects, or road trips. Your kids can ride in the back if they’re acting up. And they’re a symbol of a core American identity: toughness, a spirit for adventure, a life philosophy grounded in pragmatism and enterprise. But in recent years, pickups have gotten wildly expensive. So expensive, in fact, that I find it hard to believe that Americans are keeping themselves out of a debt trap after purchasing them.
More than 233,000 full-sized pickups were sold in December 2025, making it the best month for
As Minnesota continues to grapple with weeks of anti-ICE unrest, the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) has encouraged its members to take part in a statewide "economic blackout" on January 23 to protest ICE in Minnesota.
The union’s message, circulated to members this week, said, “The Minnesota Nurses Association is encouraging members to participate in this day of action, including the economic blackout and the 2:00 pm rally, as a visible show of solidarity with immigrant communities, workers, and families impacted by ICE activity.” The day of action has been dubbed "ICE Out of Minnesota: A Day of Truth and Freedom."
Entrepreneur Hari Raghavan posted a screenshot of a letter he received from California looking for taxes from four years ago — after he says he moved out of the former Golden State.
“[S]eriously: 4 years later CA is hunting down those who left,” Raghavn wrote on X, adding that the state is demanding a “Narrative of the circumstances surrounding you becoming non-residents.”
“[W]hat a joke,” he added. “This is what a failing state looks like.”
Yep. [Tweet]
It’s probably not a coincidence that Raghavan has said things the Thought Police find offensive.
What would the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. have to say about his country’s contentious racial landscape on this, his 97th birthday?
America is a far different place from the nation that saw King felled by an assassin’s bullet in 1968 at the young age of 39; different even from the country that made this a federal holiday in 1983.
Black Americans still face real inequities. Look at the huge numbers of crime victims, disproportionately black, generated by terrible progressive policies on public safety.
Or the decay of America’s public schools, once an engine of black social mobility:
