The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) notified the leading authority in US property appraisals on Monday that it no longer needs to abide by a potentially unlawful Biden-era deal that “forced racial preferencing” on the industry — the latest move by the Trump administration to stamp out diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Under former President Joe Biden, HUD used disparate impact theory — the idea that a neutral policy has a disproportionately negative effect on underrepresented minorities — to impose race-based policies on the Appraisal Foundation, a nonprofit entity authorized by Congress to set qualifications for property appraisers.
“Property appraisals are an integral component of helping Americans

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

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

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."

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

Inmates briefly seized three prisons and took 46 guards hostage Saturday, according to various reports. The new declared state of siege will last for 30 days and is intended to aid law enforcement in combating organized crime groups, The New York Times (NYT) reported Sunday.
The siege was in response to authorities revoking some privileges from gang leaders and demanding leaders be moved to lower security facilities, multiple outlets reported. Authorities regained control of the prisons on Sunday, spurring a further wave

On Thursday night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act 2026. The bill provides the foreign aid industry $50 billion in taxpayer funding, $20 billion over the president’s budget request. The foreign aid industry praised it “as a long-awaited break for a beleaguered development community.”
Heritage Action criticized the aid bill for “falling short of responding to American outrage over systemic waste, fraud, and abuse,” and “throws a lifeline to a corrupt, leftwing foreign aid establishment … that keeps open the door for the return of the progressive multi-billion-dollar aid industry” after President Donald Trump leaves office.

Elon Musk is investing heavily in keeping the Senate seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell in the GOP camp, according to a new report.
Musk has donated a “stunning” $10 million to support Kentucky businessman Nate Morris, who is running in the May Republican primary, according to Axios.
The donation is unprecedented — the largest the tech billionaire has ever given to a Senate candidate. Axios reported that Musk was all-in after meeting Morris, who shares a mutual friend in the person of Vice President J.D. Vance. The report said Musk is pleased to back a candidate who views himself as as “anti-McConnell.”

New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill is vowing to put the Garden State on the front lines of resistance against President Trump when she takes office Tuesday.
The Democratic pol, who massively outperformed polling expectations last year after making her gubernatorial campaign all about Trump, argued Sunday that the president is at the heart of her state’s long list of affordability woes. “Right now, the doors to opportunity are being shut down at every level,” Sherrill told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about her aspirations as governor. “We see a president who constantly is running this tariff regime, putting more money in his own pocket and raising costs on everybody else.

A report claims that the U Visa program has become just another path to citizenship that illegal migrants have mired in fraud and abuse.
The program, launched by Congress in the year 2000, was meant as an aid to law enforcement and was thought of as a unique way to solve crimes in the migrant community that would otherwise go unsolved, mostly due to a lack of cooperation among witnesses and victims in that community.
The program allowed illegals — both victims and witnesses — to work with police to solve crimes by coming forward with tips and information on serious crimes. After working with police, the program allowed illegals to gain

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was met with mockery after she accepted the key to the city of Jackson, Mississippi, where the mayor also declared last Wednesday “Kamala Harris Day,” in honor of her many “accomplishments.”
The former Democratic presidential candidate, who is rumored to be mulling a second try at the Oval Office, was in the Magnolia State as part of a mammoth book tour promoting her memoir, “107 Days,” when she was honored by Jackson’s Mayor John Horhn (D). “Kamala, you don’t know what you mean to Jackson, Mississippi. You don’t know what you mean to Mississippi. You don’t know what you mean to America,” Horhn gushed,
