This new age will be one of relentless improvement,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised last November as voters handed him the keys to the city. But that was before the temperatures truly dropped.In his inaugural address, the incoming mayor said, in one particularly tortured passage, “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.” Together, he added, New Yorkers are “warmed against the January chill by the resurgent flame of hope.” Through communalism, “we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”
Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.
“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.
“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.
“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the modified spending package on Tuesday, which the Senate had handed them on Friday. The move ended the government shutdown that kicked in on Saturday, which most people weren't even aware of. More than that, it marks the first time that Congress has managed to do its job and pass a plan for the upcoming fiscal year without being in a major state of stopgap crisis.The only catch is that the spending bill funds almost the entirety of the U.S. government — except for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

As RedState reported, the House, on Tuesday afternoon, voted 217 to 214 to agree to the Senate amendments on the spending package and reopen the federal government. This, in turn, sent the Consolidated Appropriations Act to the desk of President Trump, who signed the bill in the Oval Office later on Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by GOP congressional leaders.As he signed the measure, President Trump delivered remarks, praising the legislation.Trump not only highlighted the benefits of the measure itself, but also lauded the reopening of the government.
The Trump administration has quietly decided to allow employers to import 65,000 extra H-2B visa migrants for jobs that would otherwise pay decent wages to ordinary American who vote in the midterm elections. The visa giveaway is part of President Trump’s zig-zagging between the two sides of his coalition — the voters he needs on election day, and the business donors who provide the funds for political campaigns. Meanwhile, the national media is ignoring the visa giveaway to business because it is focused on the left-wing street groups who are trying to block the deportation of criminal and wage-cutting illegal migrants from Minneapolis.
There are now 650 fewer illegal aliens on the streets of West Virginia after federal officials partnered with state and local law enforcement to arrest them. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Philadelphia operation ran from January 5 until January 19 in Martinsburg, Moorefield, Morgantown, Beckley, Huntington, and Charleston, the agency announced Friday.
“Together, federal, state and local law enforcement officials identified and arrested hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to national security and risks to public safety, as well as those who entered the United States illegally or have otherwise undermined the integrity of U.S. immigration laws—
Donald Trump threatened Monday to begin legal action against “loser” Trevor Noah after the comedian said the president visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s island and needs it again to “hang out” with Bill Clinton. The South African provided no evidence for the allegation which has been dismissed outright as a lie and fabrication by Trump.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower,” host Noah brought up his Trump and Epstein allegation.
“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s efforts regarding the Arctic territory.
Asked by reporters for his response to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's remarks, the US president seemed unfazed, asking: "Why wouldn't he say that? Of course, he could say that. "We have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close, a couple of days
"Hopefully, we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we'll find out whether or not he was right."
Mr Trump spoke about US ships closing in on Iran on Saturday night and has previously warned he could take military action against Tehran over its killing of peaceful protesters.
Left-Wing Bias in Education

Left-wing bias in education. It has been following my son through every school he has attended and has once again raised its ugly head at his current college in Bedfordshire. My son is currently studying three A-level subjects there, having joined in September last year. One of those subjects is A-level law – evidence-based, focusing on factual information without fear, favour or prejudice, right? Not quite, it seems.
Although he has been at the college for less than a year, he (and we as parents) have noticed extreme Left-wing agendas and beliefs being pushed onto the students. Many, if not most, of the students either swallow it unthinkingly –
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just destroyed ABC's George Stephanopoulos during a contentious exchange on This Week, calling out the network for what he characterized as biased coverage protecting former CNN anchor Don Lemon following his arrest for involvement in storming a church service in St. Paul.It all started when Stephanopoulos asked when Blanche believed Lemon had crossed the line from journalism into criminal activity. Rather than taking the bait, Blanche immediately went on the offensive, pointing out a glaring omission in ABC's coverage.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) enters the 2026 midterms in strong financial shape.
The same cannot be said for the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
According to a report from The New York Times, the DNC currently has $14 million on hand but is carrying $17.5 million in debt, leaving the party roughly $3.5 million in the red.
Party leaders are said to be “privately alarmed” by the state of the finances.By contrast, the RNC is sitting on a $95.1 million war chest and reports no debt.
Their report states:
Without a president to headline events, the party that does not hold the White House often struggles to raise money in its main national committee.

A 2020 election scandal in Fulton County, Georgia's most populous county, continues to grow with new derails revealed in a State Election Board (SEB) meeting last Wednesday -- and now, a week later, with an FBI raid seeking election documents from the county. (snip) When a ballot scanner is used to count ballots, election officials must start the process by printing and signing a "zero tape," which confirms the count started at zero. (snip) [S]tate investigators were unable to find any ["zero tapes"] from Fulton County's early voting period in the 2020 general election, SEB member Jan Johnson said during the board meeting.
The British countryside is in the midst of a diversity drive after a government-commissioned report found it was too 'white' and 'middle-class'. Officials charged with managing some of the country's best known beauty spots have laid out a series of proposals aimed at attracting minorities. In the wake of the report, officials representing National Landscapes - including the Cotswolds and Chilterns - have now published a series of management plans that detail their proposals to attract more minority communities. The Chiltern National Landscape will launch an outreach programme in Luton and High Wycombe targeted at Muslims.
Washington — Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, ahead of expected votes in the House later this week on holding the pair in contempt of Congress.
In an email to the committee on Monday, the Clintons' legal team said the former president and former secretary of state "accept the terms of your letter and will appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates." [snip] Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who chairs the oversight panel, said[snip]"The Clintons' counsel has said they agree to terms, but those terms lack clarity yet again and they have provided no dates for their depositions.
An unsettling scene unfolded on Minneapolis streets over the weekend as anti-ICE activists turned public roadways into impromptu checkpoints and blockades -- while Minneapolis police at one point looked on and walked away. Social media videos show agitators blocking streets with furniture and stopping cars in Minneapolis -- even apparently cross-referencing plates against a database of ICE vehicles before letting drivers through. (snip) When Minneapolis police officers approached and urged [a] group to move [an] obstruction "for fire trucks and ambulances," the protesters didn't budge (snip) and officers eventually left (snip.)
Democrats in the Washington state legislature are pushing a proposal that establishes a list of demographic groups that are presumed to be “socially disadvantaged” for the purposes of state business certification. Based on the breadth of those categories, roughly 70 percent of Washington state residents would fall under the bill’s definition of “socially disadvantaged.” Under existing statute, the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) defines a “socially disadvantaged individual” as someone who has experienced racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society due to group identity, stemming from circumstances beyond the individual’s control. The agency may also determine social disadvantage on a case-by-case basis.
I'm Just two years ago, Mary Barra, chief executive of General Motors, declared: “We believe in an all-electric future.” She went on to claim that the challenges her company was facing in the EV market were merely temporary bumps on the road to net zero. But as Bob Dylan famously observed, things have changed. On Jan. 8, GM announced it would take a $7.1 billion hit in charges against its earnings, of which $6 billion is due to Barra’s failed EV strategy. In a filing with the SEC, the company also warned that it would take more write-downs this year as part of a “strategic realignment of EV capacity.”
The Abigail Spanberger Bait-and-Switch
19 replies
During the 2025 gubernatorial election the voters of Virginia believed they were choosing between pragmatic Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger and lackluster Republican Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The former was well funded and portrayed favorably by the corporate “news” media as a centrist, while the latter struggled to raise money and was labeled an extremist because of her strong support of gun rights. Spanberger won by double digits and most Virginians thought they were getting a slightly more liberal governor than her predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Yet the moment she took office, it became obvious that Gov. Spanberger was no moderate.
Maine Democrats have been calling for over a year for the release of more files related to the infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but the disclosures may have caused some collateral damage for Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, candidate for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination. The sensational allegations against Gov. Mills surfaced Friday in a trove of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice as a part of its ongoing disclosure of materials related to the investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking and espionage ring. (snip) An anonymous tipster alleges that Mills was "instrumental" in covering up child sexual abuse and was "credibly named" in cocaine trafficking.

The Bay Area is experiencing mobs of bicycle riders stopping to attack and seriously injure drivers who provoke their wrath, while riding around in large groups that the cyclists call “ride outs.” ABC7News (KGO Television) reports:
A Santa Clara driver suffered fractures to his ribs and back after a mob of bicyclists brutally assaulted him following an accident involving one of them.
This is the latest in a string of violent incidents involving large groups of bicyclists, popularly known as “ride outs”, a rapidly growing trend where large, often informal groups of cyclists -- from dozens to thousands -- gather to ride through city streets.

A Minnesota Democratic Party official is urging people on social media to "act neutral" to get seated on a jury and vote to acquit a woman accused of biting off a federal agent's finger tip. Nick Kruse is former vice president of the Minnesota Young DFL and current at-large director of Stonewall DFL. In a Jan. 26 post on X, Kruse wrote that "no one should be going to prison for defending our city against ICE," and encouraged followers to spread information about "jury nullification."
