Backing Off On Deportations Is A Recipe
For A GOP Disaster
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 1/19/2026 10:31:44 PM
President Trump and his administration need to see the immigration fight through all the way to the end. Illegal immigrants have to go, every single one of them, no exceptions, no special rules, because they're nice or they have a dog or they're hanging out in the vicinity of a church or it's Tuesday and a full moon. Every single one of them needs to be gone. And if we don't do it, the country is screwed in the long term. In the short term, the Republicans are screwed.

A New York state judge ruled that New York City's only Republican-held congressional district was drawn unconstitutionally, ordering a new map. Judge Jeffrey Pearlman concluded that the Staten Island-based 11th District, which is represented by GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, diluted black and Latino voting power. Pearlman said New York's independent redistricting commission must redraw the state's congressional map by Feb. 6. His decision is likely to be appealed.

Peter Schweizer's new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration As A Weapon details how a seemingly innocuous program to entice foreign investors became a massive operation for laundering foreign donations to American politicians, primarily Democrats. The plot revolved around a program established by the 1990 Immigration Act called the (snip) E-5 Visa. (snip) The scheme was elegant in its simplicity: flood the United States with foreign operatives who would funnel money to Democrats, even though they were not eligible to vote in American elections.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have reportedly refused to cooperate with immigration officials and released 500 criminal illegals back into the community. (snip) [O]ne of the things we have asked Gov. Walz and Jacob Frey is to just give us the criminals you have in jail," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Supreme Court justices were stunned Tuesday when lawyers defending Hawaii's so-called "Vampire Rule" -- which restricts carrying guns on privately owned spaces without consent -- pointed to racist laws in their defense of gun control. During their arguments, the lawyers had cited the Black Codes, post-Civil War segregationist laws that limited the rights of African Americans, as evidence of similarly restrictive gun control in U.S. history. "I want to understand how you think Black Codes should inform this court's decision-making. It's quite astonishing," conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed attorney Neal Kaytal.

On Friday, Vanessa Beardsley is inviting her community to come hang out with cats and drink coffee at her Minnesota business, Catzen Coffee — but they won't be able to spend any money. Catzen is participating in a January 23rd economic shutdown, in which activists are calling on Minnesotans to close their businesses, not report to work or school, and refrain from shopping in protest of ICE's presence in the state. Beardsley said she "immediately" knew she wanted to "stand in solidarity with our fellow businesses and our state," but didn't want to completely close her doors. "We are not doing
The U.S. was one of the first countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) when it was created in 1948 as part of the United Nations. But on Jan. 22, 2026, it officially withdrew from the global health group.
The U.S. has historically been the largest funder to the WHO, through both its assessed and voluntary contributions, so the departure is poised to disrupt both global and domestic health. “This is one of the most penny-wise and billion-dollar-foolish moves,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

I warned you! It’s kind of hilarious, but a lot of folks don’t realize that the current number one candidate to win the Democratic nomination in 2028 is… not Gavin Hairstyle… not Alfred E. Buttigieg… not Jupiter B. Pritzker… not even Josh “Yeah Right, Democrats Are Gonna Nominate A Jewish Guy Who Won’t Apologize For It” Shapiro. It’s Kamala Harris. No, really, I’m serious.
“That’s crazy talk, Kurt. Why are you so crazy with your talking?”
I’m not crazy. The Democrats aren’t crazy, either – they are stupid and evil.[snip] She comes off as stupid and annoying, which is a direct consequence of her being stupid and annoying.

As lawyered-up apologies go, this one's a real stinker.
When I got a look at what the new CNN talking head, 25-year-old Cameron Kasky, said out loud in front of God, Scott Jennings, the CNN audience, and President Donald Trump's lawyers, I said on my Adult in the Room Podcast livestream these words, "He's gonna get sued." But his "apology" is arguably worse.
On CNN, Kasky claimed twice that Donald Trump was part of a "sex trafficking network," alluding to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
When asked to clarify, Kasky claimed that it was a "provable" fact
The Duke and the Dork

— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday, where he alerted attendees that the "old world order is unraveling at a breathtaking pace."
Merz said the "pole position" of the United States is being challenged by Russia and China.
New world of 'great powers' is 'not a cozy place'
"We have entered an era of great power politics," Merz said. "The new world of the great powers is founded upon power, strength and when necessary, force. It is not a cozy place."
Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” to New York with up to a foot of snow. Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles

Back when Attorney General Keith Ellison was a mere Congressman instead of the Attorney General of my state, he passed only one bill during his 12 years in that august body. Of all the bills he sponsored, he was able to successfully pass only one. It must have been really important to him to put it all on the line to convince his colleagues to go along with him, right? After all, it wasn't to rename a post office or anything. It was to actually change a policy intended to prevent money laundering.
He had to be pretty passionate and persuasive.
So what was that bill?
Two officers who were pushed out of the military during President Donald Trump's first year back in the White House have launched new missions this week: running for Congress as Democrats.
A retired U.S. Space Force colonel, who was forced out of the military under the Trump administration's ban on transgender service members, announced a run for Congress in Northern Virginia.
And a senior Navy official removed from her post last year by War Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a congressional bid in South Carolina. Their candidacies highlight a growing political backlash to Trump-era military policies, as former officers removed from service look to re-enter public life through Congress.

When he's right he's right. Immigration enforcement is not inherently disruptive. Dangerous illegal aliens are caught and released on a daily basis. In "red" jurisdictions they are routinely released to ICE without incident. Only in "blue" "sanctuary" jurisdictions must ICE go out into the community to hunt them down and arrest them. Any disruption involved in these arrests is the fault of the demagogues who mandate this nonsense and the insurrectionists who compound it. If demagogic politicians and insurrectionists in the streets can, with media assistance, nullify immigration laws by breaking them, what next? The laws against selling fentanyl? (Crazy? Who would have predicted before inauguration day that congressional Democrats and their media allies would boldly unite to condemn interdiction of vessels transporting fentanyl to the United States? But here we are and so they have.)
