Chinese elites are using birthright citizenship and the unregulated surrogacy industry to secure U.S. citizenship for their children — a massive campaign that could significantly influence upcoming American elections, (Snip) “[The Chinese surrogacy scheme] is the idea that a rich guy in China hires a woman in the United States, a U.S. citizen, provides the sperm, the woman becomes pregnant. She’s carrying his child. She’s paid $50,000 to $60,000 to carry that child. The child is born. The child is then returned to the father back in China, where again, [the child is] going to be a U.S. citizen —

Discrimination Claims Against Pro-Hamas
Groups to Proceed replies
The Brandeis Center lawsuit against the organizations that conspired to engineer the pro-Hamas UCLA encampments that terrorized Jewish students scored a big victory recently when a federal judge allowed claims against two of the groups to proceed. United States District Court Judge Mark Scarsi that “Plaintiffs have pleaded sufficient facts to raise an inference that [National Students for Justice in Palestine] and [People’s City Council] acted with the requisite discriminatory animus” to establish plausible claims of discrimination and conspiracy. “Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that NSJP and PCC acted at least in part to deprive Plaintiffs of their Thirteenth Amendment rights to be free from race-based violence and exclusion. “
What some truckers believed were going to be routine stops at weigh stations in January led instead to thousands of violations and failed English tests amid a three-day national crackdown by federal safety authorities.
The latest version of Operation SafeDRIVE (Distracted, Reckless, Impaired, Visibility Enforcement) from January 13th through the 15th on trucking corridors in 26 states and the District of Columbia removed nearly 2,000 unqualified truckers and other drivers from the road, the U.S. Department of Transportation, (USDOT) told Fox News Digital.
The operation conducted more than 8,200 inspections that led to 704 drivers being taken off the road and out of service, with some 500 of those truckers
Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.
Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.
Those regulations could have prevented the toxic spill that upended the lives of thousands in the East Palestine area
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit.
Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple.
At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.
A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it.
In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this (expletive). Get in the car.”
Her son retorts, “No, it is my right,” before walking away.

San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Captain says voting records show people outside of the country, in Pakistan, are allowed to vote in the California elections.
The Sheriff’s Captain revealed this during a press conference in September 2025.
Sheriff’s Captain: “The way the voting system is structured, we see quite a few flaws. You’re able to register and cast a vote if you don’t live in the country as evidence of his brother in Pakistan.
I think we have some evidence of two or three other people out of the country that are voted? Is that correct? Yeah, approximately two or three other people out of the country,
Just when you've thought you've heard it all from the Democrats in Virginia, along comes a Bangladeshi state lawmaker with a bill to make "Islamophobia" a "hate crime" and also "assault and battery." Not content to merely jack up taxes, hinder the deportations of violent illegals, and take away guns, Democrats in the Old Dominion are now attempting to police speech about Muslims.
SB624, which was introduced in January by State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim – a Democrat from Northern Virginia's 37th district – seeks to to "define and punish" cases of "Islamophobia" as it "relates to the crime of assault and battery
The Trump administration is moving ahead with plans to ask the forbidden "citizenship question" on the 2030 Census. The question seems mundane enough. At one point in the census question now being field-tested in Alabama and South Carolina, the respondent is asked, "Is this person a citizen of the United States?"
There are five possible answers:
Yes, born in the United States.
Yes, born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Northern Marianas.
Yes, born abroad to U.S. citizen parent (s).
Yes, U.S. citizen by naturalization — print year of naturalization.
No, not a U. S. citizen.

The truth about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has finally come out, and it comes directly from Khelif himself. He is, admits the man who won the gold medal in women's welterweight boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, a biological male.
In an interview with a French sports outlet, Khelif confesses to having the SRY gene, which is located on the Y chromosome and is found in biological males. He also reveals that he underwent hormone therapy ahead of the Olympics in an effort to reduce his testosterone levels. "I have taken hormone treatments to lower my testosterone levels for competitions," he said.

Another planet-saving environmental solution foisted on the populace by all-seeing bureaucrats has turned into an expensive failure. The latest boondoggle is playing out in the upper New England area, where once again the “experts” in all things ecological lacked logic.
A brand new fleet of EV buses, touted energetically last summer, has been brought to a halt in the frigid climes, frozen in place, if you will. This is all because the geniuses behind this globe-preserving mandate were incapable of divining that conditions in the area could quite possibly impact their harp seal-snuggling directives.

Let's see how things are going in the communist utopia of New York, a month after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor. Nearly two weeks after a massive winter storm hit the Big Apple, mountains of garbage line the still snow-covered streets (but not around Gracie Mansion, of course), (Snip) But for one commie New York teacher, the solution to stopping businesses and wealthy New Yorkers from leaving the city is just to...seize the business and make it illegal to leave (some of us would call that "imprisonment").
Some critics of the Trump Administration’s enforcement of federal immigration law, including members of the public, the media, and Congress, have made misleading claims about the due process rights that apply in immigration proceedings. Those who claim that non-citizens, referred to in our nation’s immigration laws as aliens, are entitled to the full panoply of constitutional rights enjoyed by American citizens are simply wrong .(snipIn fact, several federal immigration statutes specifically bar aliens from even asserting certain claims in federal courts. Federal courts assuming jurisdiction over such claims by aliens are violating federal law, and any orders they issue ought to be declared void (snip) by an appellate court.
Republicans in Congress have shot down Democrats’ new list of 10 demands to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after two high-profile fatal shootings involving ICE and Border Patrol in Minnesota.
The demands are part of a deal to keep the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funded past its mid-February deadline. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement, it could result in a partial DHS shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said the list is “unrealistic and unserious,” according to CBS News. He warned that Republicans would not agree to these demands.
A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from using taxpayer information to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track down illegal immigrants.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ordered the IRS and Social Security Administration to stop sharing data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE. She also prohibited the agencies from using the data to target illegals as the case proceeds.
Talwani rejected the government’s argument that noncitizens do not have Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The judge argued that using this method is “ripe for abuse”

Law, Not Trump Admin replies
Federal District Court Judge Ana Reyes of the District of Columbia recently issued an injunction telling Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that she cannot end “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) for Haitians who are in the U.S. Of course, Reyes had to blatantly violate federal law to do it because she has no jurisdiction to issue such an order!
In her order, Reyes, a Biden appointee (no surprise), stated that the termination “shall be null, void, and of no legal effect.”
U.S. stocks surged on Feb. 6 in a stunning turnaround that saw the blue-chip Dow soar more than 1,200 points to pierce and close above the 50,000 mark for the first time ever.
"The Dow reaching 50,000 is less about celebration and more about confirmation," said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in an email. "Markets have adjusted to higher rates, slower growth, and global uncertainty—and still moved higher. That tells us confidence is real, and 2026 will be less about the (Federal Reserve) and more about fundamentals."
After steep losses earlier in the week, investors decided that the sell-off was overdone and returned to the market. A jump
In welcome good news for the Trump administration out of the federal court system, a U.S. federal appeals court today vacated an earlier injunction that had blocked parts of President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs.
In the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a three-judge panel vacated the injunction that would have stopped the Trump administration from eliminating DEI programming in the federal government and among federal contractors.
In February 2025, right after Trump took office and issued his executive orders on DEI, U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore issued a preliminary injunction to stop the administration from implementing its plans.
Greg Gutfeld did what Greg Gutfeld does best on his late-night show this week: he grabbed a Democrat talking point, shook it until the hypocrisy fell out, and then held it up for everyone to see. The target was Democrats’ favorite attack line against voter ID laws, and specifically the SAVE Act, which they have hysterically branded as “Jim Crow 2.0.”
Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals,
Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
Each day more and more people are starting to realize/notice there are elements of the United States intelligence apparatus that are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Tulsi Gabbard has the DC Intelligence Community very worried.
What you will read below is something that was written back in 2024 about the potential for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), if President Trump were to win the election.(snip)

Michigan and Alabama Republicans took major steps this week to secure their states’ elections from foreign dark money.
The GOP-controlled Michigan House passed legislation (HB 5197) on Thursday that seeks to prohibit foreign nationals from contributing money to ballot initiative campaigns. The measure HB 5197 stipulates that Michigan ballot question committees “shall not knowingly or willfully receive, solicit, or accept contributions from a foreign national, whether directly or indirectly.” 97-6, with seven members not voting.
CTH reader “Charles” asked a great question yesterday that deserves some expansion:
CHARLES: “I’m having some trouble parsing how exfiltrating [deporting] illegal alien workers thereby pushing American wages upward can cause a decrease in inflation. Conventional wisdom for my whole life (73 years) has held that increasing labor costs drive inflation upwards.”
(snip) Charles is essentially correct from a historical reference. However, we are in uncharted territory due to the scale of illegal aliens within the U.S. economy in this modern era. The answer is a commonsense theory(snip)
ANSWER: A much larger percentage of illegal aliens live on various subsidies and govt spending programs than our native American population.
An illegal immigrant who was released into the US by the Biden administration allegedly killed an innocent driver during a police chase in California last month, officials said.
Darwin Felipe Bahamon Martinez, a 21-year-old Colombian national, was nabbed by authorities after illegally crossing the California-Mexico border in August 2023, but was allowed back on the streets, according to the ICE.
On Jan. 21, he led police in Anaheim on a three-minute chase after officers attempted to pull him over for driving recklessly, NBC Los Angeles reported. Bahamon Martinez then crashed into two vehicles in nearby Placentia, killing father Jose Antonio Ramos Hernandez, 59, and injuring an 83-year-old woman.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, said on Thursday it seized two vessels in the Persian Gulf that were allegedly carrying smuggled fuel.
Later that day, a former Iranian official threatened to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a “place of massacre and hell” if there is a conflict with the United States[snip] On Tuesday, IRGC forces used small boats and a drone to harass a U.S.-flagged and crewed merchant ship named MV Stena Imperative that was conducting a lawful transit through international waters.

Chuck Schumer found himself in an awkward spot this week when confronted with polling data that completely undercut his attack on voter ID laws. The Senate Minority Leader appeared on MSNOW's Morning Joe on Thursday to discuss the GOP-backed SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. What followed was the exemplification of political discomfort.
Earlier in the week, CNN's chief analyst Harry Enten dropped some numbers that should make Democrats rethink their messaging on election security. Voter ID requirements enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support, with approval ratings consistently above 75% across demographics.
As year two of the Trump 2.0 presidency begins, President Trump faces a pivotal decision on Iran: pursue a grand bargain with the Iranian regime through negotiations or leverage military might to undermine the regime and bolster efforts by the Iranian people to oust their murderous government.
Iran’s domestic upheaval presents both risks and opportunities for U.S. policy. Protests that erupted in late December 2025 over economic woes, inflation, and governance failures have spread to all 31 provinces, even loyalist strongholds, marking the regime’s weakest moment since 1979.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s regime responded with a deadly crackdown, including mass arrests and executions.
President Trump launched his TrumpRx website on Thursday, vowing Americans would “save a fortune” from cheaper drug prices on everything from Ozempic to fertility treatments.
“This is a very big deal. People are going to save a lot of money and be healthy,” Trump declared at an event announcing the new program.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was at the launch and boasted that “America will lose about 100 million pounds this year” from cheaper GLP-1s drugs.
Mayor Karen Bass claims that she did not edit the LAFD’s after-action report on the Palisades Fire to shield the department and the city from responsibility.
She admits, however, that she told the authors to check information about weather and budgets.
That sounds like it might have been benign — until you consider that weather and budgets are at the core of what went wrong last January.The National Weather Service predicted an extreme high wind event, with life-threatening winds, days before January 7. The mayor knew about these predictions and left the country anyway.

In my meandering imagination, I was a liberal, yearning to join the anti-ICE peaceful protest in Minneapolis and trying to figure out how I would let our government know how strenuously I object to their policy of deporting illegal aliens.
I summoned up an article I had read by the esteemed Daniel Greenfield in which he spelled out in vivid detail the exact kinds of people I would be supporting, defending, and advocating for, all who had been charged with or convicted of the following crimes:
California Attorney General Rob Bonta fell all over himself Thursday claiming that the California Department of Justice was working to tackle fraud in the state.

Over 60 percent of illegal immigrant-led households and 51 percent of legal immigrant-led households received some sort of welfare benefits in 2024, compared with just 37 percent of natural-born citizen households taking taxpayer benefits, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration studies. (snip) The Center for Immigration Studies explained that, even in states that do not explicitly provide benefits to illegal immigrants, their households may receive such benefits if they have U.S.-born children.

One thing we should never see is judges high-fiving criminals at parties; they enforce the law, not celebrate those who mock it. Neutrality demands distance from chaos, especially when robes hang in the closet. Attending events that trash law enforcement turns impartiality into a punchline.

She appears to have moved on from the news, but this now-laid-off Washington Post reporter would’ve been better off ignoring the responses to her post about her pink slip. Jada Yuan was among the many staffers at the publication who were laid off. The entire Ukraine bureau was terminated, along with the sports section. Metro will be retooled. In all, one-third of the staff was let go. It was a source of liberal whining for a bit, with some blaming Jeff Bezos for the situation that led to the cuts. Or maybe it’s because their staffers couldn’t keep up with current events.
Someone quipped that Yuan should “lear to code,”

Sometimes you just have to point out, as the classic story goes, that the emperor has no clothes.
California Governor Gavin Newsom preened for the cameras Tuesday as he celebrated the high-speed train that has so far cost at least $12 billion — and will cost over $120 billion more to complete, lightyears beyond the original estimates — and has been under construction for over a decade.
There was only one problem with his victory lap: There’s no bullet train, and there’s no track.
Gov. Gavin Newsom was mocked for posing in front of a freight train to tout progress on the troubled High Speed Rail project — still years from carrying passengers
A self-identified Antifa member, Kyle Wagner, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges following alleged murder and assault threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Wagner, 37 of Minneapolis, is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court today.
According to the criminal complaint, Wagner has escalated his opposition to ICE operations, including conspiring and threatening to assault federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis.

How Did Democrats Get So Stupid?

There are some people who should be grateful that breathing is a reflex, because had it required any mental abilities whatsoever, they surely would have suffocated on the streets, having forgotten to do it. These people should be pitied, but Democrats hold them up as aspirational figures. I get why they do it. Democrats have very little to actually be proud of; what is disturbing, however, is that there are so many people even more dumb who fall for it.
That there are so many people in this country who are so wildly ignorant enough to follow the political left over the cliff is not a shock; the public schools
As Elon Musk’s Boring Company nears final approval to begin digging its Music City Loop under the city, Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell expressed skepticism that the boring process would begin in remarks published by Bloomberg on Tuesday, expressing his optimism that “no one dies” from the project.

San Francisco could be in hot water over a plan to pay reparations to black residents.
Two San Francisco taxpayers, activist Richie Greenberg and resident Arthur Ritchie, have sued the city over the controversial plan to hand out benefits to “individuals who are black and/or descendants of a chattel enslaved person and have experienced a proven harm in San Francisco,” according to a bill quietly signed by Mayor Daniel Lurie in December. The plaintiffs, including the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, slammed the reparations plan as a “sordid and unconstitutional enterprise” amounting to a “racial spoils system” in a fiery complaint filed Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court.
