Christianity Today recently published its overview of the 2026 Open Doors World Watch List, identifying the 50 countries where it is most dangerous to live openly as a Christian. While Christianity Today focuses on Syria, newly vaulted into the Top 10, the larger story is more global. According to Open Doors, more than 388 million Christians now live under high levels of persecution or discrimination. That is roughly 1 in 7 believers worldwide. The trend is not driven by a single ideology or region but by a mix of fragile states, militant Islam, criminal networks and increasingly authoritarian governments.
San Francisco's beloved mall will finally shut its doors after years of harrowing decline and fears of crime and homelessness. San Francisco Centre, formerly known as the Westfield Mall, will permanently close on January 26, an employee for the disgraced shopping center's lone remaining store told the San Francisco Chronicle. The iconic mall began spiraling downward with the rest of the Democrat run city after the COVID-19 pandemic. Rumors of the closure have circulated for months as sprawling homeless encampments deterred tourists and locals alike. As downtown foot traffic decreased, the mall saw fewer and fewer customers. Its flagship
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.

U.S. equities leaped after Wednesday after President Donald Trump called off new Europe tariffs, saying a deal framework has been reached over Greenland.
Stocks were already rising after the president earlier said in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he would not use force to acquire Greenland.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
surged 588.64 points, or 1.21%, to end at 49,007.23. The S&P 500

Donald Trump’s determination to bring Greenland under American control has been widely mocked as eccentric or theatrical. That reaction misses the point. Beneath the blunt language and headline-grabbing delivery lies a strategic argument rooted in geography, military physics, alliance realities, and the accelerating competition among global powers in the Arctic. Trump’s fixation on Greenland is not a whim. It is the product of a long-running belief that the island represents one of the most valuable pieces of territory on Earth for American security. Failing to secure it would amount to a historic act of negligence.
The House Oversight Committee voted to refer former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for chamber-wide votes on contempt of Congress charges with the help of multiple Democrats, including two members of the far-left Squad, for defying subpoenas related to the panel's Jeffrey Epstein probe.

With their new leaders in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats this week showed the country an undeniable truth: There’s no such thing as a moderate in their party anymore.
Throughout the 2025 campaign cycle, national media presented a fundamentally false story about the Democratic candidates for governor in the Old Dominion and the Garden State.
Even as commentators acknowledged that Zohran Mamdani represented a move leftward in New York City, legacy media framed former roommates Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill as the centrists in the party.
“Ms. Spanberger and Ms. Sherrill are moderate women,” The New York Times reported as fact.

Orders to Stop replies
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents swept across Maine with the help of local police departments, despite opposition by the Democrat governor.
ICE and other federal immigration officials began “Operation Catch of the Day” as Wednesday dawned with coordinated raids in counties all over the Democrat-led state. The campaign was peaceful and without widespread protests or obstruction by leftist activists because local police departments were assisting the federal forces in their duties.
The state’s Democrat Governor, Janet Mills, has repeatedly warned state law enforcement not to assist ICE in apprehending criminal illegals and in December gave her approval for a state law that would ban police from working with federal law enforcement.
US President Donald Trump said the broad outlines of the Greenland agreement were in place, without providing further details, but when asked about whether the US would own the island, Trump said the matter was somewhat complex.
"It'll be forever for Greenland at this point, forever," Trump said about the agreement.
He said the agreement would address security issues, as he has argued that the US must own Greenland for national security reasons amid concerns about threats from China and Russia.
Vice President JD Vance is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday, set to deliver a powerful message of "unwavering support" for ICE agents amid escalating tensions provoked by leftists trying to impede law enforcement from detaining criminals.
Vance, according to a release from the Office of the Vice President, plans to hold a roundtable with local leaders, meet directly with ICE personnel, and deliver remarks on restoring law and order in the City of Lakes.
Axios reports that, perhaps to the chagrin of those local leaders—some of whom, like Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), themselves face subpoenas for allegedly interfering with federal operations—Vance is "not planning any peace offerings
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled by former Vice President Al Gore during a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, according to news coverage.
Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made dozens of arrests in Maine on Tuesday amid an effort known as Operation Catch of the Day.
Fox News' Griff Jenkins reported on Wednesday that authorities had arrested more than 50 people on Tuesday, and had informed him more arrests were taking place on Wednesday.
"We have approximately 1,400 targets here in Maine," ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde said on Tuesday, going on to mention crimes such as "rape of a child, drug trafficking" as well as "sexual assaults, simple assaults" and "driving while under the influence." "You name it," she said. "They're on the target list."

Bundle up — or else! A life-threatening Arctic blast is set to strike the eastern US in the coming days, plunging temperatures below zero and into the single digits as experts warn people to stay inside or risk hypothermia. The bone-chilling cold front is expected to peak later this week, with Chicago, parts of Michigan and upstate New York among the hardest hit, forecasters said.
The White House called California Gov. Gavin Newsom a nobody who has been “frolicking around Switzerland,” in response to claims the Trump administration shut him out of an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Newsom’s press office had said the White House and State Department denied the governor entry to a “fireside chat” Wednesday hosted by Fortune that the democrat was invited to speak at. The White House fired back at Newsom’s claim, saying the governor is not a priority for them, a Trump spokeswoman exclusively told The Post.
President Donald Trump has pulled back a threat to impose new tariffs on European countries on Feb. 1, after signaling progress on a deal for the U.S. acquisition of Greenland.
Following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 21, Trump said he formed the framework of a future deal for the island and the greater Arctic region.
“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Last week, President Trump announced that the United States will acquire Greenland one way or the other.
Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark; it is the world’s largest island, with a small population of less than 100,000 inhabitants, mostly composed of indigenous people called Inuits. Because Greenland sits at the intersection of three continents (Asia, Europe, and North America) and is rich in strategic resources, it has immense geopolitical importance.
The island is home to one of Earth’s largest uranium deposits. Uranium is essential for nuclear energy production, and it plays a crucial role in supporting nuclear power generation in the United States. Environmental groups oppose its extraction because they
Israel's decision on December 26, 2025 to recognize Somaliland as an independent state sent shockwaves across the Horn of Africa and beyond. Diplomatic pushback from Somalia and concern within the African Union (AU) followed over regional stability and territorial integrity.
Somaliland, a self-governing region in northern Somalia, declared independence in 1991 following the collapse of Somali ruler Siad Barre's military regime. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the late 1980s as Barre's forces pursued rebel groups in the territory. Many Somalilanders argue the union with Somalia was unlawful and had failed, fuelling demands for self-rule and a separate, stable state
Things are really heating up in Davos, Switzerland, as the elites gather at the upscale ski resort to talk about the global economy, geopolitics, technology (particularly AI), and climate change; they will, in turn, lecture the rest of us on these topics as they pretend to be subject matter experts, all from the comfort of their private jets and their gargantuan estates.
Fun stuff.
Well, Team Trump is now on the snowy grounds of Davos, and things are getting good.
As RedState's Rusty Weiss reported, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick kicked things off Tuesday with a strategic strike on the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its "globalist orthodoxy."
There’s such a thing as sex
replies
The 14th Amendment and the civil rights laws have long been interpreted to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. That has meant that it’s illegal to discriminate in hiring, college admissions, public accommodations, and so on, against a man for just being a man or a woman for just being a woman.
Ah, if only things were still so simple.
One early wrinkle in the law involved “disparate impact.” In some fields, women predominate and in other fields men do. For example, men predominate in playing chess, doing high-level mathematics, and being firefighters. Despite concerted efforts to attract more women to those fields, that continues to be the case.
The FCC on Wednesday issued guidance to ensure that programming on broadcast television must comply with political equal opportunities requirements and end what one expert referred to as “DNC TV,” Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Decades ago Congress put protections in place through the Communications Act of 1934 to ensure that broadcast television ensures equal access to legally qualified candidates for office regardless of political affiliation. Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidates to use its facilities, then it shall provide equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office.
Congress in 1959 adopted limited exceptions to the equal opportunities
The videos coming out of Minneapolis, of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers apprehending illegal immigrants in the streets while having to fight off aggressive and sometimes violent anti-ICE activists, are the predictable result of a Democrat strategy that amounts to nullification.
I mean nullification in the historical sense, like the Nullification Crisis of 1832 when South Carolina declared federal tariffs to be null and void within the boundaries of the state, and President Andrew Jackson threatened to send in the U.S. Army to enforce federal law.

After a brief return to the U.S. due to unexpected electrical issues aboard Airforce One, President Trump is now on the ground in Davos, Switzerland and about to make his speech to the international assembly gathered at the World Economic Forum 2026.
According to the schedule President Trump is expected to make his remarks at 8:30am Eastern Time. There are multiple livestreams below from domestic and international news outlets. The entire western world is watching to see what happens next.
President Trump continued to press the case for U.S. control of Greenland during remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, needling the assembled European leaders and boasting that America could take the Danish territory by force if he so chose, before ultimately ruling out that course of action.
“We never asked for anything, and we never got anything, we probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that,” Trump said, referring to America’s outsized historic contribution to NATO and the reluctance of member countries to support the U.S. takeover of Greenland.
A top staffer for 'America's wokest prosecutor' was part of the anti-ICE mob who stormed a Minnesota church during Sunday service.
Jamael Lundy, an aide to Hennepin County’s Soros-backed prosecutor Mary Moriarty, was seen among the mob as ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon streamed from inside the church in St Paul, reports the Daily Wire.
According to his campaign website, Lundy is currently running for a seat in the Minnesota state legislature as a Democrat and works as intergovernmental affairs coordinator for Moriarty

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has advised Don Lemon that the federal criminal statutes bearing on the riot disrupting Sunday’s service at Cities Church in St. Paul don’t apply to the rioters’ misconduct. “People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. None of us are immune from the voice of the public,” according to Ellison. “Quite honestly, I think you’ve got the First Amendment freedom of religion and the First Amendment freedom of expression, and I think that, you know, it’s just something you’ve got to live with in a society like this.”

In 2022, Jean-Pierre made history as the first openly gay black female lesbian of color to serve as White House press secretary. Journalists and other Democrats squealed with joy.
In 2025, Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, primarily as a means of expressing solidarity with Hamas. She wrote a memoir defending Joe Biden's zombie reelection campaign. It was so bad that it forced Democrats to abandon their faith in DEI. They could finally admit that Republicans were right.
Former colleagues rushed to denounce Jean-Pierre as "incompetent," "ineffectual," and "unprepared." The Washington Post charitably described her as a "devoted apparatchik" with
Assuming his intention was to mark the first anniversary of his return to the White House, President Trump couldn’t have picked a more suitable time or event to launch the Board of Peace for Gaza.
His decision to hold the launch Thursday at a Davos gathering of world leaders highlights Trump’s role in trying to stop the war between Israel and Hamas and start the massive rebuilding of Gaza.
It also reflects his unprecedented global footprint and illustrates once again that he is an American president like no other.
The more you pull the thread on the chaos and corruption currently overtaking Minnesota, the more you see clearly the ways that the Democrat Party is both the beast and the feeder of the beast.
Take, for instance, Jamael Lundy. Lundy is a top aide to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty; he serves as her intergovernmental affairs coordinator, which means his job is to interact with local, state, and federal officials. Lundy also runs a company called, “Homes for Homies Property Management LLC,” which claims to “provid[e] affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.

The American people are once again witnessing Minneapolis descend into chaos, as left-wing militants hold the city hostage to obstruct law enforcement primarily on behalf of illegal aliens and criminal scammers who have culturally decimated the city.

Do Americans support President Donald Trump’s decision to seize Venezuela’s leftist dictator Nicolas Maduro, despite a still-raging controversy in the mainstream media over the legality of the arrest? The answer is mostly yes, with some reservations, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll.
The national online poll of 1,478 adults was taken from Jan. 6 to Jan. 9, mere days after Maduro’s Jan. 3 arrest by the U.S. military on charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and possession of illegal weapons. The poll has a +/-2.9 percentage point margin of error.

The Islamic Games event was scheduled for Colleyville Heritage High School May 9-10.

Mexican authorities have now sent nearly 100 people accused of being key criminals to the United States. The transfers are part of a larger effort by Mexican authorities to appease Mr. Trump as he threatens unilateral strikes inside Mexican territory

Wells Fargo is relocating the headquarters of its wealth management business to West Palm Beach, becoming the first major U.S. bank to base its wealth operations in Florida, the company confirmed Monday.
The San Francisco-based bank signed a lease for 50,000 square feet at the One Flagler office building, according to wealth chief Barry Sommers. About 100 employees, mostly senior executives including nearly half of the unit’s operating committee, will relocate to the new office by year-end, Bloomberg reported. The office is scheduled to open in August.
Wells Fargo’s wealth unit generated $16 billion in revenue last year, accounting for roughly 20 percent of the bank’s total revenue.
With Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of President Trump's return to the Oval Office, there's been a fair amount of focus on the administration's achievements — and rightly so.
President Trump himself joined the day's press briefing and had a little fun with it as he touted the multitude of accomplishments he and his team have secured over the past year. But Trump wasn't alone in touting the administration's successes. As they've done all year, Trump's Cabinet secretaries and key department heads each made a point to highlight their respective agencies'/departments' achievements.
t was crazy that the anti-ICE agitators thought it would be a good idea to storm a church in the middle of its service to push their hateful anti-ICE agenda. They apparently believed that one of the pastors was connected to ICE.
But screaming and disrupting people trying to pray is a pretty disgraceful look; it exposed how crazy and extreme they are to people who might not have understood it before.
In addition to being wrong about ICE, if you're screaming in a church and frightening children, you are not the good guys in this equation.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson never seems to disappoint if you’re a PJ Media writer looking for the next thing to investigate.

Shame on those anti-ICE protesters who invaded a St. Paul, Minnesota church. Don't they realize they might have harmed the anti-ICE movement?

The Cuban national defence council said it had approved “plans and measures” to declare a “state of war” to be enacted in the country, state media reported on Sunday.
No details were given as to how this would be implemented, but the press release said the measures would be based on the concept of “war of all the people”, a strategy promoted in the 1980s under the country’s former leader Fidel Castro as the allied Soviet Union was collapsing.
