DENVER, Co. — The city of Denver is preparing for what some have said could be mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. Now, federal prosecutors say they will investigate anyone who stands in the way of beefed-up enforcement of immigration laws. Mayor Mike Johnston said in a statement among other things, Denver will cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in cases of violent criminals. The city will also notify ICE of a pending release if the federal agency requests that notification. “The whole state is bound by our state law in this, which is pretty consistent in some of these
LOS ANGELES – Firefighters on the ground and in the air rushed to slow a rapidly spreading brush fire that exploded near Castaic on Wednesday, forcing tens of thousands of evacuations and impacting traffic on the 5 Freeway. The Hughes Fire erupted around 10:50 a.m. in the area of Lake Hughes Road east of Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire incident commanders. It spread quickly through dry brush and trees, fanned by strong Santa Ana winds. The fire was initially reported at 50 acres but had exploded to over 9,400 acres by 5 p.m., according to CalFire, with no containment.
BERLIN, Germany — A 2-year-old child and a man were killed by a man wielding a knife, in Germany, on Wednesday. He also seriously wounded two other people, said police, who arrested an Afghan suspect at the scene. It is the latest in a series of deadly knife attacks to have shaken Germany in recent months, fueling concerns over public safety. The stabbings happened in a public park in the center of the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg at around 11:45 a.m. (1045 GMT), police said. The attacker targeted a group of children from a daycare center who were in the
If you have to be somewhere you don’t want to be — like, say, the inauguration of Donald Trump — you may as well make it known you’re not down with the program. At least, that’s what it seems Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did. Yesterday, during the inauguration, while Mark Zuckerberg was yucking it up with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez and Elon Musk simply could not hold himself back from throwing a thumbs-up to the camera, Justice Jackson sat quietly. With her judicial robes, she wore a collar and a pair of earrings made up of cowrie
‘Tis the season to be…..coffee badging? The new year traditionally marks the time a fresh crop of U.S. corporations requires employees to return to the office after many businesses allowed their staffs to work remotely at the start of the COVID-10 pandemic five years ago. And that means it’s also the season for workers to try to beat the system. What does the term coffee badging mean?
Many are “coffee badging,” or swiping their ID badges at the office to record their arrival, staying 30 minutes or so - long enough to greet colleagues and grab a cup of coffee
Hours after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the president, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy asked him to review federal approval of New York’s congestion pricing program, which costs New Jersey drivers an additional $9 to enter midtown Manhattan. In a letter sent to Trump on Monday, Murphy said, “I welcome any opportunity to work with you and your Administration where we can find common ground.” Murphy then reminded the president that he called congestion pricing “a disaster for NYC” during his campaign. Murphy referred to the new toll as “a disaster for working- and middle-class New Jersey commuters

For years, inaugural fashion has signaled a new administration, making way for a new president and new agenda. This year was no different. President Donald Trump was surrounded by no shortage of fashion headline-makers as the world watched on for him to take his second oath of office. Here are the top 10 fashion moments from the inauguration ceremony. Second Lady Usha Vance's pink coat dress Second Lady Usha Vance popped in a powder pink Oscar de la Renta coat dress with a thin belt, and blush, suede, knee-high boots.

The Pentagon took down a recently unveiled portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who butted heads with President Donald Trump following his 2020 election defeat. The portrait of Milley, who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs from 2019 to 2023, was unveiled earlier this month. Trump nominated Milley, but their relationship soured until the end of Trump’s first term. As of midafternoon Monday, just hours after Trump was inaugurated for his second term in the White House, the painting was no longer in the spot it was unveiled
With just moments left before he leaves office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement. "President Biden took an enormous step toward healing and reconciliation with the Native American people in this country,"

An illegal immigrant from Mexico, named as a person of interest in the Los Angeles area fires, may avoid being detained by immigration officials because of California's sanctuary laws. Immigration officials confirmed Tuesday that Juan Manuel Sierra is a Mexican national in the U.S. illegally. He is suspected of trying to start fires in Woodland Hills, close to the Kenneth fire, after being found with a blowtorch, according to the Los Angeles Times. Why It Matters While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer for Sierra, California's sanctuary laws may stop local law enforcement from notifying the federal agency
The major reservoir that was drained and out-of-commission when the deadly Los Angeles wildfires broke out has repeatedly needed similar repairs in recent years, a new report says. The 117-million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir in the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades neighborhood was empty and undergoing fixes to its torn cover when the historic blaze started ravaging the region a week ago. (Snip) But the cover, which is designed to keep the water free of contaminants, also required repairs just two years earlier, according to regulatory filings obtained by the Wall Street Journal. The cover was installed in 2011 and was supposed to

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is urging civil disobedience against Donald Trump’s slew of executive orders.
Since taking office on Monday, Trump has signed a slew of executive orders targeting everything from immigration and the border all the way through to ending DEI and dismantling the deep state.
In one of her regular live stream videos in which she lays out the roadmap to a socialist America, the New York Congresswoman urged people to simply ignore or disobey executive orders signed by the president.
She explained:
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats.
When asked about the J6 pardons, Murphy said, “I mean, let’s let’s really talk about who he let out of prison this week, who walked out of prison. The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived in Washington that day there will be blood.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is still trying to process her election loss to Donald Trump. And she's seeking counsel from the only source who can vaguely relate to the humiliation — Hillary Clinton.
While the two share the struggle of coming to terms with spectacular defeats in their own rights, it's clear Harris, at least, is still eyeing a political future. Perhaps even the presidency.
On that, there is little surprise. Reports have already surfaced indicating Harris has been actively instructing her advisers and allies to keep her political options open. That includes the possibility of a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the governorship in California in 2026.
It looks like the woke bishop who tried and failed to humiliate President Trump has some explaining to do.
Bishop Marianne Budde made headlines when she went on a gaslighting LGBTQ diatribe at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.
President Trump and First Lady Melania along with J.D. Vance, wife Usha, and family members were in attendance and graciously stomached the lecture from Budde.
Now it seems, there’s more to the story, according to Townhall columnist and “Minnesota GOP hype man” Dustin Grage.
“This chick was at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for almost two decades,” Grage said on X. “Guess who was in charge of the planning for inauguration? Senator Amy Klobuchar.
As you know, President Trump kept one of his biggest promises: he pardoned all the January 6th political prisoners on day one. That’s the good news. The bad news is that reports suggest that some of these prisoners still haven’t been released, despite the fact that a presidential pardon is absolute and immediate.(snip)Now, more rumors are swirling. This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice.
For the first time in history, a male actor has been nominated for the “Best Actress” Oscar for this year’s annual Academy Awards.

Karine Jean-Pierre Blames Racism for Her Failures 19 replies
In perhaps the most shocking, least expected twist of the last decade, Karine Jean-Pierre, the first "black, queer, immigrant" to hold the role of White House press secretary, has figured out why she faced so much criticism on the job. You didn't guess it because it's a move that no one could have foreseen, but she's...playing the race card.
Vanity Fair is out with a new profile of Jean-Pierre (written by Jean-Pierre herself) because I guess they think Americans are dying for more information on the worst press secretary in presidential history. In it, she claims she faced unique hardships because of her race, sexual orientation, and immigration history.

first Republican to oppose a Trump Cabinet pick 19 replies
Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks ahead of a crucial test vote.
Murkowski, of Alaska, said in a lengthy statement that allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which Hegseth has denied, show that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the U.S. military. She also noted his past statements that women should not fill military combat roles.
“I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media.
Things may not be as rosy behind the scenes as Kamala Harris tried to project while watching President Donald Trump be sworn in on Monday. Sitting next to her husband, the former vice president put on a good face, but according to a new report, Doug Emhoff is now drawing ire.
As RedState reported, Emhoff was at the center of multiple scandals during the ill-fated Harris campaign. Those include him committing adultery and getting his family's nanny pregnant as well as heavily corroborated allegation that he slapped an ex-girlfriend in public while drunk. Notably, Harris refused to address either situation, and Emhoff himself never denied either of them,

Jaws dropped throughout Washington’s National Cathedral when an egomaniacal female Episcopal bishop sabotaged the Inaugural Prayer Service with a left-wing rant from the pulpit about illegal migrants and LGBT issues, aimed directly at President Trump, who was sitting politely in the front pew.
What the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, 65, was supposed to do Tuesday, at the historical interfaith service, was to bless the incoming administration and pray for God’s guidance and protection for the nation.
She should have been fostering unity, not exacerbating false divides and making the ceremony all about her.
Former CIA Director John Brennan whined Tuesday about President Trump pulling security clearances for 51 ex-intelligence officials including him — all of whom claimed in an infamous letter that The Post’s bombshell scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails in 2020 was part of a “Russian information operation.” “He misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation,” Brennan griped to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

New York State has 670,000 residents who are illegal migrants – including 42,300 undocumented restaurant employees and 48,500 undocumented construction workers, an eye-opening report released Thursday said.
The report from the liberal-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute revealed an underground economy of migrant workers in the Empire State, where 1.8 million residents are non-citizens that may also include green card holders.
In total, there are 4.5 million foreign-born residents of the state, the report said. (Photo)
