President Trump unveiled his Board of Peace charter that created “peace in the Middle East” and vowed to end more wars during a ceremony in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday. Trump was the first to sign the charter alongside the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Court of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita after he described the ceremony as a “very exciting day.” “We have Peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,” Trump said. “We settled eight wars and another is coming as well, you know what that is,” Trump said, teasing the ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

But - - but - - how can this be? President Trump is mentally ill. We must invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him. I know we must - - I know for sure - - because I saw it and I heard it on cable TV.

A financial group chief executive is accused of running the largest Ponzi scheme in Georgia’s history to fund a lavish lifestyle, which included purchasing a yacht, a multi-million-dollar condo in Mexico, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and chartering private jets. Todd Burkhalter, the CEO of Drive Planning LLC., pleaded guilty to defrauding over 2,000 victims for more than $380 million between September 2020 and June 2024, according to US Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg on Wednesday. “Unbelievably, Burkhalter shamelessly continued to scam his victims even while under federal investigation,” Hertzberg said. “Today’s guilty plea is just the first step in holding Burkhalter accountable for the considerable harm he caused.”

— 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,

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.

In these dull, dank days of January, it’s hard to find any good news in the UK. So it is with great joy that I can report some truly excellent news: Dr Sarah Myhill has again defeated the General Medical Council (GMC) in a court action. My good friend and colleague Dr Sarah Myhill is a truly outstanding doctor, who has devoted the last 40 years to putting patients’ wellbeing first. ‘But don’t all doctors put their patients’ wellbeing first?’ I hear you asking. Well sadly not, which is precisely why she is the most prosecuted doctor in the history of the GMC. They keep trying;

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had a warning for the Racial Justice Network and BLM activists who terrorized a St. Paul, MN congregation on Sunday: "There will be mugshots." As RedState and our sister site Townhall reported, these so-called social justice warriors stormed into the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the middle of their worship service, on the premise that one of the church's pastors was associated with ICE. My colleague Nick Arama revealed that former CNN anchor Don Lemon decided to join the terrorists to livestream the protest, because "journalism."

We’ve been treated to some horrendous halftime shows since the advent of the Super Bowl almost 60 years ago — think Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake — and some fabulous ones too (think: Prince). It’s become a much-hyped tradition that gets some people excited while sending others to the kitchen to make a sandwich and get ready for the third quarter. The National Football League has notoriously strayed away from its moneymaker, football, and waded into social politics before, to the chagrin of many a loyal fan. Remember their ludicrous endzone statements that began after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and their pithy little meaningless pronouncements like,

Stop the Bleeding: Fraud, Tariffs, and
the $1.8 Trillion Deficit

The U.S. federal government finished Fiscal Year 2025 with about $7 trillion in outlays and just over $5 trillion in revenues, leaving a deficit of roughly $1.8 trillion -- a gap that adds to the exploding national debt and threatens economic stability. Under current trajectories, deficits are projected to remain near this scale for the foreseeable future, absent dramatic policy changes. What if, as some argue, the solution is staring us in the face: eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse across government programs and pair that with stronger tariff revenues? Could that alone balance the budget without cutting core programs or raising taxes? Is this wishful thinking or a real possibility?

Here’s The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Of The White House Health Plan

On Thursday, the White House released its self-described “Great Health Care Plan” (emphasis in the original). The plan — all 359 words of it (yes, I counted) — contains some good policies and some not-so-good ones. Most notably, however, it eschews any reference to the enhanced Covid subsidies that the administration was reportedly going to embrace just before Thanksgiving. That in itself should relieve conservatives, but it doesn’t mean the plan’s other components don’t deserve scrutiny of their policy merits, or lack thereof.

Attorney General Pam Bondi threatened to prosecute protesters who disrupted a church service Sunday in St. Paul, Minn. Bondi wrote on the social platform X that she spoke to Jonathan Parnell, the pastor who leads Cities Church. A group of protesters interrupted Parnell’s sermon Sunday and accused David Easterwood, another pastor at the church, of being affiliated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” Bondi said. “If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness,

There has been extensive excitement, in both directions, over the activist stunt that took place in St. Paul this weekend involving disgraced former CNN journalist Don Lemon. That is to say, social media has been all over his participation, but the conventional media apparatus has been notably muted in addressing what went on Sunday. This event could turn out to be a crucial fulcrum in the way the nation is headed. As we have reported, an organized group from the Black Lives Matter movement convened on Sunday to bull rush a church service in the city under the guise

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."

Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember her? 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

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.

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

Cuba's communist leadership is talking very tough about its willingness to fight to the last man. Over the weekend the country announced plans for a "state of war." 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.

In the fall of 1998, I traveled to Denmark to take up my duties as the American Ambassador in Copenhagen. Often referred to as the “Fairytale Kingdom,” courtesy of its native son, Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is a remarkable country that has been an exceptional ally of the United States for well over 200 years. The Danes have built a nation that combines Viking valor with a deep sense of duty to be one’s brother’s keeper. The admirable character of the Danish people was perhaps best exemplified when it became the only country in Europe to rescue virtually its entire Jewish population through a daring evacuation to neutral Sweden

The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE,

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. In the media business, you could say she’s “good copy.” And so today, during oral arguments in a Second Amendment case, Wolford v. Lopez, she did it again. For background, the case itself centers on a Hawaiian law that does not allow people with public carry licenses to have their handguns on them when they are on private property that is open to the public, unless they have prior permission from the owner.
