Four passengers of a Florida-registered speedboat killed by Cuban border guards were all born in the communist island nation but lived in the US, the Cuban Embassy said Wednesday night. Cuba’s interior ministry claimed the country’s law enforcement opened fire on the boat after it entered their waters for an “armed infiltration” attempt. The vessel was carrying a total of 10 “armed” people who Cuban officials claim “intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes The Interior Ministry alleged assault rifles, handguns, Molotov cocktails and other weapons were found onboard the speedboat. Four of the passengers were gunned down by Cuban border troopers in a shootout.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is drawing criticism after he dismissed reports of an unruly mob pelting NYPD officers with ice and snow at Washington Square Park earlier this week as a “snowball fight.”
Officers had been summoned to the park after several individuals, who had gathered for a massive snowball fight organized on social media, began climbing onto a nearby building.
Eyewitnesses say officers, using a loudspeaker, initially encouraged the crowd to stay in the park and to have fun and then stood back to monitor the situation.

Right After Jack Hughes Gets Standing
O at Hockey Ceremony 9 replies
Hockey fans in New Jersey loudly booed NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill (D.) during a pregame ceremony Wednesday at the Prudential Center in Newark, where the team honored Olympic gold medalist Jack Hughes. Thunderous boos erupted as Sherrill and her husband, Jason Hedberg, were introduced before the New Jersey Devils game against the Buffalo Sabres. Sherrill and Hedberg were joining Hughes and Olympic teammate Tage Thompson for a photo.
The negative reaction to the Democrat governor stood in stark contrast to the celebratory atmosphere for Hughes, who received loud cheers, a standing ovation and chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” just moments earlier.
Vanguard Group will pay $29.5 million and bolster its passive investing approach in order to settle a suit by 13 Republican state attorneys general claiming the fund manager and rivals violated antitrust law through their climate activism.
The suit in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas has been closely watched as a test of how far Republicans from energy-producing states would push Wall Street firms they accused of overemphasizing environmental matters.
In a press release, one of the plaintiffs, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, said Vanguard “agreed to strict passivity commitments”
LA firefighter reveals blaze that sparked

Palisades inferno was never put out, ignored

Fire crews were ordered to leave the Lachman fire before it was fully extinguished — with it later reigniting into the horrific Palisades fire, a firefighter has claimed.
Scott Pike said he was blown off by a captain when he warned there were five areas still smoking at the site that were too hot to touch with his gloves on.
His comments came in a lawsuit — which city lawyers tried to block from being made public — filed by victims of the inferno against Los Angeles and California. According to the LA Times, Pike said:
In January, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, spoke of the "unspeakable atrocities" suffered by millions of Jews, but added that the atrocities had also been suffered by "members of other minorities." Not quite. Although other minorities were indeed persecuted by the Nazis, none of them faced attempted extermination. Speaking in this way trivializes the Holocaust and makes it comparable to other crimes.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres not only also trivialized the Holocaust; he tried to claim that the United Nations fights antisemitism. If only!

We have been reporting on TGP (in fact, for over seven years) about the damaging ties between late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and former Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, Larry Summers.
But since last November, the world of the former Harvard president started to unravel rapidly, as you can read it in: So, today (25), reports arise that Summers will resign from the University where he studied 50 years ago and rose to the presidency, over his Epstein dealings. “Summers will retire at the end of the academic year but will remain on leave until then, a Harvard spokesperson said in a statement.

Radicalizing K–12 Students In Nationwide
Anti-ICE Walkouts 13 replies
growing number of K–12 students are taking part in walkouts and protests against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the nation, raising questions about the activists radicalizing them.
The walkouts, which many school administrators say are a legitimate exercise of the students’ First Amendment rights, have seen increasing incidents of violence and lawlessness, ranging from beatings and scuffles to vandalism. The activist group Dare To Struggle instructed students from six downtown Los Angeles area schools to meet at the “Federal Building by 2pm” to protest deportations.
Here's something on which you can rely to be accurate, every time: When Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has an idea about matters of economics, she's wrong. It's as sure as the sun coming up in the morning; it will, in the east, and Senator Warren will be wrong every time. Nowhere has that been more apparent than in examining the record of her brainchild (I use the term 'brain' advisedly), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB. We are generally correct to be a little skeptical about anything with "Bureau" in the title, but this one has been a real mess.
The Cuban regime may have just sealed its fate.
It's not yet clear if the people on board were United States citizens, though many are assuming so since the boat was registered in the U.S.
The Interior Ministry's full statement reads:
Cuba's Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday that four men on a Florida-registered vessel, possibly a speedboat, were shot and killed by its Border Guard after entering Cuban waters near Santa Clara Province. Six other people aboard the boat were wounded. The regime claims that the people on board the vessel shot at the Border Guards first.

Did you ever go to Yankee Stadium? I’ve been there dozens of times and have always felt thrilled and celebratory when they’ve won, especially in the years when Mariano Rivera was closing and Jorge Posada was catching. I even wore my Posada jersey when I knew he would be in the lineup.
There are 46,537 seats in the stadium, and it is always packed. But what fascinated me the most was when the Yankees lost, and I witnessed the reaction of die-hard fans as they exited the ballpark. Many had fire in their eyes — pure rage. Others took to expletives.
Trump hosted several top journalists in the nation at the White House, including me and our editor-in-chief, Alex Marlow, from Breitbart News, for lunch at the White House on Tuesday to preview the address and prepare the country’s top broadcasters for what is to come in his address. Breitbart News was the only outlet without a television network present for the lunch, which was also attended by Vice President JD Vance, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and top aides like Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung.

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) isn’t just leading in the Texas Democrat U.S. Senate primary anymore. She’s pulling away, and she’s doing it as early voting is already underway.
The latest statewide survey, conducted Feb. 2 through Feb. 16 among likely Democrat primary voters, shows the Dallas congresswoman expanding her edge over state Rep. James Talarico. Early voting began Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27 ahead of the March primary, which means this shift is happening while ballots are being cast.
“Crockett leads Talarico 56 percent to 44 percent among likely Democratic primary voters statewide.”

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses “excessive force” on city residents.
The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party’s efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.
“No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone’s life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident,
Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Oversight Committee on Thursday that she had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. In her opening statement, which she later posted on X, Clinton said she had no idea of Epstein’s criminal activities. “I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,” she said.
Speaking with reporters afterward, Clinton said she “answered every one of their questions as fully as I could,” adding that “I never met Jeffrey Epstein” and “I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually, as an acquaintance.”

Schools Roll Out Special Ramadan Perks

We are nearly one week into Ramadan – the month-long commemoration of the time when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad – and it sounds like Muslim public school students in Virginia are enjoying some serious Ramadan perks that don't seem to be offered to students of other religions when they celebrate their holiest days. One X account that tracks the political goings-on in the Charlottesville area discovered that local students who observe Ramadan are able to partake of special prayer rooms and can grab to-go meals before they depart school at the end of the day. The local CBS affiliate had glowingly reported
The pajama party is over.
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” its post read.
After bragging about previously “banning Crocs,” the airport said they were moving on to address an “even larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”
“The madness stops today,” the X post read.” The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.”

to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ 19 replies
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.

The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances
Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.
WASHINGTON — A crowd gathered at a commuter gate at Reagan National Airport on Friday as fog-laden Washington skies caused an hourlong ground stop that backed up passengers hoping to head out from American Airlines' Terminal D. (Snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
