Lindsey Vonn crash: American skiing icon
has broken leg, airlifted away after terrifying
Olympics fall
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 2/9/2026 7:08:46 AM
The worst-case scenario for Olympian Lindsey Vonn came just seconds into the women's downhill final in Cortina, Italy, on Sunday afternoon. Vonn's body struck a gate as she made her first big jump less than 13 seconds into her run, altering her momentum and direction, prompting a scary crash as she flung sideways and bombed out. The race was on hold for more than 20 minutes as Vonn was tended to on the course. The scene at Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre was eerily quiet, as thousands at the bottom of the mountain, including Vonn's family, were left stunned and largely speechless.

Friday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued Republicans would vote for her in the general election for U.S. Senate.
Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?”
Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely. Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want. And I think that, you know, what the real is. I think that Republicans aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite. They can just go and get the real thing.

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 —

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,
Virginia Democrats Are Cooking Up a Chilling

‘Islamophobia’ Bill That Should Alarm Everyone 14 replies
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.
Prepare to be shocked, folks!
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. The manufacturer, Green Mountain Transit of Montpelier,

Representative Ilhan Omar is one of the most sanctimonious corrupt Democrats in congress, and she’s loud and proud about it because she understands how to engage in financial fraud safely. Just do what everyone else is doing but do it bigger, that way there’s no way her peers can approach it.
Someone in DC gave House Oversight Chairman James Comer the familiar tap on the shoulder and told him they don’t investigate their own Uniparty tribe. So, Comer drops his planned review of Omar’s corruption and shifts it to the ethics team.

The problem was the show’s conceit: It was a message of unity, inclusion, and togetherness — in a language that 85% of the population doesn’t understand and cannot speak.
That’s not unity. That’s division.
Lo siento, Bad Bunny and/or the NFL, but the underlying metrics of the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show didn’t make a lick of sense:
Only about 14% to 18% of the U.S. population speaks fluent Spanish — which means, of course, that 86% to 82% do not.
Only 14% of the NFL’s total audience is Hispanic.
The number of Latinos/Hispanics who speak English exclusively is growing, not shrinking:
'A Slap In The Face'
27 replies
Donald Trump has called Bad Bunny's all-Spanish Super Bowl halftime show 'one of the worst ever' and a 'slap in the face' to America.
The US President said the rapper's gig was 'absolutely terrible' and that there was 'nothing inspirational' about choosing a star who didn't perform in English.
Mr Trump was also deeply unhappy about some of the suggestive dancing because the Puerto Rican artist repeatedly grabbed his crotch and there were women twerking on stage (snip) ''It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence'.
Olympic athletes aren't stumbling into competition by accident; years of training, taxpayer-backed facilities, national governing bodies, corporate sponsors, and a county willing to invest all come together to push the select few onto the world's stage.
Displaying the flag on their uniform represents far more than any fashion choice or personal mood, yet every Olympic cycle seems to attract competitors who want the benefits without sharing the burden of gratitude.
U.S. freestyle skier Hunter Hess, a Team USA member, recently voiced his mixed emotions about representing America, citing immigration enforcement and political disagreements. He determined that the flag on his chest represents friends, family, and personal ideals over government

The FBI released surveillance photos and videos of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
The four images depict a person wearing gloves, a mask, and a backpack appearing to tamper with the camera at Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the potential subject is armed.
The FBI said yesterday that it had not identified any suspects or persons of interest.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona, the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing about noon Feb. 1.
A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment.
The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails.
Their Communist fever dream wishlist includes banning Airbnbs, grabbing golf courses for public housing, allowing non-citizen immigrants to vote in local elections, enforce a school curriculum that supports social justice and eliminating all fossil fuel use by 2035. The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Seattle Seahawks used a dominant defense and the strong running of game MVP Kenneth Walker III on Sunday to crush the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX.
It was the Seahawks’ second Super Bowl title in four appearances. It came 12 years after Seattle defeated Denver 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII -- a fitting nod to the 12th man that has fueled the energy at Seahawks’ home games.
The game, before 70,823 fans at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, showcased a punishing, opportunistic defense by the Seahawks that rendered Patriots quarterback Drake Maye mostly ineffective all night.
Today must be my day for trashing Pravda. Already, I have trashed Peggy Noonan's lament for the Washington Post, and contrasted her fantastical idea of what the media's relationship to truth is with the fact that the Post lionizes Adam Schiff as a model Democrat who is trying to save democracy.
Noonan writes for The Wall Street Journal, so I trashed it. The Washington Post is the "gold standard" for political coverage, and I trashed them.
So next, I need to trash the New York Times to complete a trifecta.
Jamelle Bouie gives me that opportunity, as it happens. He is a columnist for the Times and has been called
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced on Feb. 8 that he was uninvited from a dinner at the White House for the nation’s governors.
Moore wrote on his website that his exclusion undermined bipartisanship and was possibly racially motivated. “As the nation’s only black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight—whether that was the intent or not,” he said.
Other Democratic governors, such as Colorado’s Jared Polis and California’s Gavin Newsom, also reported being uninvited from the dinner.

Numerous Democratic leaders say their high-migration, low-wage sanctuary city economies are crashing because President Donald Trump is requiring them to comply with national labor laws.
“We are now expected to absorb the fiscal consequences of [federal] enforcement activities,” the treasurers of 16 states wrote to President Trump. “This is not acceptable.”
The treasurers of Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, and nine other states are asking the federal government to exempt them from national laws that protect Americans’ civil rights, labor, housing, and anti-fraud laws.
“We urge your administration to immediately scale back enforcement activities causing this harm
Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has quietly taken a role as a Visiting Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an institution long entangled with Chinese influence networks, foreign government funding, and open-borders activism. (snip) For over a decade, Carnegie has maintained a documented relationship with the China-United States Exchange Federation -- a core instrument of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, whose stated purpose is to "co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition" and steer foreign elites toward Beijing's preferred positions.
