Conservatives Question If Graham Should
Lead Judiciary Committee
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 1/27/2026 3:08:19 PM
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s, R-S.C., announcement on Saturday that he “fully” expects to be the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2027 swiftly triggered debate among conservatives. “I fully expect to be Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2027 after Republicans retain control of the U.S. Senate,” Graham wrote. “As Chairman, my top priority will be to pass legislation that once and for all ends sanctuary city policies that lead to massive rip-offs of the taxpayer and much worse.” But conservatives are questioning Graham’s previous voting record and his stance on President Donald Trump’s priorities.

At the end of this month, the City of Coral Springs is scheduled to host the 2026 Florida Muslim Conference at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts, a government-owned, taxpayer-funded facility. The event is organized by the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF), an umbrella organization representing a network of radical South Florida Muslim institutions.
Despite growing concern, city officials have indicated they intend to proceed with the conference. However, the State of Florida has warned the city to stand down, citing SFMF’s deep and longstanding ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group recently designated a terrorist organization by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) latest financial disclosure has kicked off another round of scrutiny after revealing that a California winery owned by her husband jumped in reported value from around $50,000 to as much as $5 million in just one year.
The winery, “eStCru LLC”, is co-owned by Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, and his business partner, William Hailer.
According to documents filed with the House Clerk in May 2025, the Santa Rosa-based operation saw its valuation soar between 2023 and 2024, despite ongoing legal challenges from investors who claim they were promised returns that never came through.
Republican Rep. Mike Lawler is breaking from the Trump administration on its deportation push, calling for leniency for some illegal immigrants in an essay for The New York Times. “The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this month were tragic and preventable,” Lawler, R-N.Y., writes in an essay published Tuesday. “No matter where you stand on immigration enforcement, the shootings show that what the country has been doing is not working.”
Lawler, who represents a district in New York’s Hudson Valley that favored Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris over now-President Donald Trump, argues in the essay that Congress must codify new immigration
The European Union has agreed to open its borders to mass immigration from India as it signed the bloc’s largest free trade agreement.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a press conference in New Delhi alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday that the bloc has agreed to a “mobility” scheme to allow for the influx of “students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers” from India into Europe.
The EU chief also said that Brussels will open a “Legal Gateway Office” in India to help facilitate migrants’ move to Europe.
“This is good for our economies. This is good for the friendship between our people. This openness benefits us all,”
A striking digital billboard display in New York City’s Times Square is promoting Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, which reached #1 on Amazon the day before its January 20 release.
Displayed prominently above the New York Police Department’s Times Square substation, the billboard juxtaposes Schweizer’s book cover alongside the words: “NYC, did you know? Terror groups linked to 9/11 are funding and helping elect members of Congress.” The layout spans two panels: one side features the book cover, while the other presents a visual of the Twin Towers with the faces of
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Monday that it has charged 31 additional individuals in connection with a sprawling, multi-million dollar “ATM jackpotting” scheme linked to Tren de Aragua (TdA).
Fifty-six others have already been charged, and this latest round of indictments brings the total number of defendants in the case to 87, as federal authorities move to dismantle a financial pipeline purportedly used to fund the violent Venezuelan gang.
“Many of the defendants charged in this Homeland Security Task Force operation are Venezuelan and Colombian nationals including illegal alien Tren de Aragua (TdA) members,” the DOJ announced.
“Tren de Aragua is a complex terrorist organization that commits serious financial crimes
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced Tuesday that the agency will vote next month on proposals to remove fraud from the Lifeline program, which provided taxpayer dollars to pay for phone and internet services for more than 116,000 dead people.
“If the government is going to spend your hard earned dollars, it must ensure that they go only to living and lawful Americans,” Carr wrote on X.
Carr’s announcement followed a report from the Federal Communications Commission Office of Inspector General (FCC OIG), which found startling levels of fraud in the program. Congress and the FCC established the Lifeline program to help low-income Americans receive affordable communications service,
When you live in any community death happens. But when you live in one with tens of thousands of people, death happens pretty often. People die from heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, complications of age, you name it. Emergency services respond, paperwork gets filled out, and that’s how records pile up. That’s just how life works. Except in some Somali communities…
And that’s why a lot of people are now asking a very uncomfortable question: what does it mean when those records are nowhere to be found?
The questions are coming from all corners… from Maine to Minnesota. People who work in and around emergency response, law enforcement, and local systems are
Former President Joe Biden has a heartfelt message for Americans.
“Slardumpfrinagle, man,” the former president said in between spoonfuls of tapioca pudding.
Meanwhile, in actual news, Tuesday on the social media platform X, Biden — or more likely the lunatic staffer who writes Biden’s posts — issued a deranged statement on the recent violence directed primarily against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota, a statement that prompted X users to remind the former president of his responsibility for the current illegal-immigration mess while at the same time reminding us all of the difficulty in co-existing with Democrats incapable of basic honesty or decency.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's latest federal financial disclosures show millions of dollars in newly reported assets tied to her husband’s businesses, representing a massive increase compared to previous years' listings. The disclosures, filed as part of Congress’ annual financial reporting requirements, come as Omar has publicly denied being a millionaire, labeling such assertions "ridiculous."
Despite those denials, the sudden appearance of the assets at high valuations has raised questions about her husband’s business holdings and prompted President Donald Trump to call for a Department of Justice investigation into the couple’s shared wealth. Omar’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The Swedish government announced this week that it plans to lower the age of criminal responsibility to 13-years-old as it seeks to confront the rampant use of youths by criminal gangs.
At a press conference on Monday, representatives of the governing Tidö coalition government said that the criminal age of responsibility for the most serious crimes, such as murder and attempted murder, will be gradually lowered over the next five years to 13, Aftonbladet reported.
They said the change would affect crimes with a minimum prison sentence of four years, as well as attempts or conspiracies to commit such crimes.
The planned legislation from the governing parties would also eliminate the lighter sentencing

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declared on Tuesday that his city "will not enforce federal immigration laws" in the wake of a meeting with border czar Tom Homan.
Frey wrote, "Today, Chief O'Hara and I met with Border Czar Homan and had a productive conversation. I reiterated that my main ask is for Operation Metro Surge to end as quickly as possible. Public safety works best when it's built on community trust, not tactics that create fear or division."
Rather startling news out of Minneapolis on Tuesday evening: Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) was speaking at a town hall event there when a man approached her and appeared to spray an unknown substance at her while pointing and yelling at her.Here are two separate angles of the incident: (tweets) At the time of the attack, Omar was saying, "Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment."

The National Security Council whistleblower who triggered the first impeachment against Donald Trump is running for Senate.
Alexander Vindman announced on Tuesday he is running in the president's home state of Florida as a Democrat seeking to oust Republican Senator Ashley Moody.
In his two-minute announcement video, the Ukraine-born candidate leans into his anti-Trump sentiment, claiming: 'This president unleashed a reign of terror and retribution, not just against me and my family, but against all of us.'
'Today, our country is in chaos.'
Vindman, a retired lieutenant colonel and an NSC aide during Trump's first term, testified to Congress in October and November 2019 regarding

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said if President Donald Trump does not fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, they will “initiate” impeachment proceedings against her.
Jefferies said, “Kristi Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar. We’ve seen her slander, not just one, but two American citizens, patriotic Americans who were killed without justification on the streets of Minneapolis. In the last few weeks. She’s deeply unqualified. She never should have been confirmed to begin with by Senate Republicans and House Democrats have called for her to be fired immediately.

The FBI has launched a formal investigation into encrypted Signal group chats that anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement activists in Minneapolis allegedly used to track, identify, and interfere with federal law enforcement officers, FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday.
And it looks like some Minnesota state officials could face consequences.
The investigation was prompted by independent journalist Cam Higby’s viral X thread detailing coordinated efforts on the messaging app to share real-time information about ICE agents’ movements.
"We immediately opened up that investigation because that sort of Signal chat being coordinated with individuals, not just locally in Minnesota, but maybe even around the country —
With Border Czar Tom Homan headed to take charge of Homeland Security efforts in Minneapolis and President Donald Trump finding some common ground with Gov. Tim Walz, a rapid reduction in tensions is thankfully well under way.
Alex Pretti’s death plainly prompted a sobering all around, as it should.
We’re glad to see Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem elbowed aside. Her performance in recent weeks as the situation in Minnesota escalated out of control did not serve the president or the country well.
Without anyone backing off on matters of principle, state and federal leaders now can find some accommodation —
Alex Pretti Broke Rib in ‘Physical Encounter’

During Anti-ICE Protest a Week Before
He Was Shot 16 replies
Alex Pretti was “known” to federal law enforcement before he was fatally shot, and had broken a rib during a physical altercation with ICE agents a week before he was killed by a Border Patrol official on Saturday, sources say. Pretti “had a physical encounter with federal agents about a week before he was shot and killed by law enforcement,” CNN reported Tuesday. The incident unfolded after Pretti stopped his car upon observing ICE agents chasing a family on foot and got involved by “protesting their attempt to detain other individuals,” the outlet reported.
He was then tackled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents —
Prominent Republicans and gun rights advocates helped elicit a White House turnabout this week after bristling over the administration’s characterization of Alex Pretti, the second person killed this month by a federal officer in Minneapolis, as responsible for his own death because he lawfully possessed a weapon.
The death produced no clear shifts in U.S. gun politics or policies, even as President Donald Trump shuffles the lieutenants in charge of his militarized immigration crackdown. But important voices in Trump’s coalition have called for a thorough investigation of Pretti’s death while also criticizing inconsistencies in some Republicans’ Second Amendment stances.
Joe Biden crawled out of his hole on Tuesday to bash the Trump Administration over the two fatal ICE-involved shootings in Minneapolis.
Biden accused the Trump Administration of trampling on 4th Amendment rights and gunning down citizens for exercising their constitutional rights.
ICE agents have warrants to enter homes and arrest criminal illegal aliens.
“What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights.
