Posted By: Mercedes44, 1/9/2026 6:55:48 AM
Federal prosecutors have launched a new criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over financial transactions with her longtime hairdresser, Iyesata Marsh. The New York Times and CBS reported that the new investigation, which is still in the early stages, is being led by the Northern District of New York and the Western District of Louisiana. Marsh was indicted by a grand jury in the Western District of Louisiana in December on charges of bank fraud and identity theft related to the purchase of a Land Rover.

White House officials have weighed possibly giving lump sum payments to Greenlanders in an attempt to sway them into seceding from Denmark, as the Trump administration brings back its calls to have Greenland join the U.S., Reuters reported.
Government officials, including White House aides, have discussed different figures, from $10,000 to $100,000 per personOne source said internal discussions have become more serious after U.S. strikes on Venezuela ended with the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Over the summer, a young DOGE staffer was viciously attacked by two D.C.-area teens. The perpetrators went before the D.C. Superior Court and were given probation and sent home. This is par for the course in the District of Columbia courts, which are a perennial mess. They’re a mess in large part due to far-left judges who are selected through a system that disempowers the president who appoints them. While this is a serious problem, there are some ways around it.
If you thought Democrats’ health care wish list consisted solely of continuing enhanced Covid-era Obamacare subsidies, think again. Over the holidays, Politico had a helpful reminder that midterm election campaigns are showing how the dreams of government intervention in the health care system go far deeper:
A few days later, failed presidential candidate Tom Steyer claimed a Damascene conversion on single-payer as part of his campaign for California governor: “Bernie Sanders was right. We need single-payer health care. … In 2019, I didn’t think we needed single-payer health care.”
A hotel employee who llegally endangered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers quickly had to face the consequences.
A Marriott hotel’s management didn’t want the same PR nightmare Hilton Hotels had this week when one of its affiliated hotels canceled ICE reservations and lied about restoring them. An independently owned Marriott hotel — Residence Inn — in Bloomington tracked down the identity of their employee who was doxxing ICE officers on Reddit for the purpose of helping activists find them.

U.S. labor productivity accelerated sharply in the third quarter of 2025, rising at a 4.9 percent annual rate as workers contributed more output per hour worked, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.The figure substantially exceeded economist expectations of 3.6 percent and marked the strongest quarterly gain in two years. Combined with an upwardly revised 4.1 percent increase in the second quarter, the back-to-back performance suggests American businesses are adapting to tighter labor markets by investing in efficiency rather than pursuing the low-cost labor strategies that dominated much of the past two decades.
President Donald Trump has outfoxed Senate Republican obstructionists yet again, blowing past Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) for his refusal to schedule a confirmation hearing for his appointee for religious freedom ambassador by just appointing pastor and former North Carolina Rep. Mark Walker (R) to a similar position that does not need Senate confirmation.As Breitbart News reported in December, Risch refused to schedule a confirmation hearing for Walker—subsequent reporting from other outlets like NBC News confirmed that it was because of quiet opposition from other North Carolinians like Sens. Ted Budd (R-NC) and Thom Tillis (R-NC),
President Donald Trump said that having Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds would drive mortgage rates and monthly payments down as the administration works on affordability.The 47th president wrote that his decision during his first term in office not to sell the companies allowed them to amass $200 billion.
He wrote, “Biden ignored the Housing Market, and instead was immersed with High Crime, Open Borders, runaway INFLATION, the Afghanistan Disaster, and a Military that he left in Chaos and Confusion. Everything was broken, but I, as President of the United States, have already fixed it!”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is a football fan — he played in college, supports the Miami Dolphins, and his son is a running back for the University of Florida Gators. Now, he is quarterbacking President Donald Trump’s foreign policy team as it navigates particularly turbulent times, notably in Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America, longtime core interests of the child of Cuban immigrants and former Florida senator.
As the Trump administration has alarmed much of the world with its stunning military operation that captured now-former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and its threats to potentially annex Greenland by force, Rubio has emerged as a voice of relative calm.
For years, California’s tech elite talked about leaving. Few actually did.
That calculus appears to be changing — fast — as a proposed California ballot initiative targeting billionaires sends some of the world’s richest founders scrambling to establish new roots, with Miami emerging as their landing pad.
Sources tell The Post tech founders from major companies like Netflix, WhatsApp and the payment system Stripe are among the latest looking to flee the Golden State for Florida in recent months.
The measure, which voters will decide on in November, would impose a one-time 5% tax on fortunes exceeding $1 billion and would retroactively apply to anyone deemed a California resident.
Finally, the United States will follow through on its NATO commitments.
That’d be the cheeky interpretation of President Donald Trump’s announcement, via Truth Social, that he wants a US defense budget of $1.5 trillion next year.
This would represent a stunning 50% increase over the current budget, and put US spending right around 5% of GDP — the target level that NATO counties recently adopted at Trump’s insistence.
The details and follow-through will matter, but on its own terms, the Trump declaration is of epic significance.
Such a historic defense build-up would meet the moment — it’s never made sense for United States to enter a period of heightened risk —
Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.
Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE agent with her vehicle.
Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.

2028 candidate who vows to prosecute Trump
‘regime’ ‘has my vote’ 32 replies
“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings appeared to take a swipe at President Donald Trump and his administration, saying he’d support a candidate who vows to prosecute the current “regime.”
Jennings took to the liberal social media platform Bluesky Wednesday during a news cycle dominated by the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
“The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028,” Jennings wrote.
On Tuesday, he appeared to knock Trump’s policy on Venezuela, writing on Bluesky, “America is always like ‘ok but the NEXT regime change will work,’ like when I ‘cut out carbs’ briefly every January.”
Thursday on CBS’s “The Takeout,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said FBI Director Kash Patel and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem could not be trusted to run a fair investigation into the Minnesota woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Schiff said, “Well, I was struck by a few things. First of all, it’s horrifying to watch. And to think about this 37-year-old woman, drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But at one point, she’s waving other cars to come on past, trying to make sure that she’s not
“I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed, if necessary," Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz threatened Wednesday, denouncing the federal government’s efforts to enforce U.S. immigration law in his state.
Gov. Walz made the apparent threat during a press conference following the death of a Minnesota anti-immigration enforcement protester who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent as she, according to video of the incident, drove her vehicle into the agent.

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post

Gov. Kathy Hochul rolled out broad strokes of a multi-billion-dollar plan Thursday to offer “free” child care for all two-year-olds in New York City, while expanding pre-K and early child care programs in the rest of the Empire State — with no tax increases, at least this year. The Big Apple already has universal Pre-K and 3K programs, and Hochul said she will partner with new Mayor Zohran Mamdani to age down and fully fund the program to cover 2-year-olds. “This is getting on a roadmap to continue what has already started in the city with four-year-olds and three-year-olds,” Hochul said on MS-NOW Thursday morning previewing the proposal.
This is factually a much bigger deal, a bigger win, than most will initially appreciate.
As many deep political followers well understand, the 66 organizations that President Trump has just withdrawn from represent a large network of sanctioned government organizations that structurally support the globalist agenda.
President Trump has issued an executive order [SEE HERE] “Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States.” These institutions, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, are mechanisms that exist to underpin globalist objectives.
Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.
However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.
During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

Tim Walz threatens civil war

This afternoon, Tim Walz called a press conference in which he threatened civil war. It was one of the most extraordinary performances by an American political leader since the Confederates seceded in 1861 (snip)We have never seen anything like it, not just in Minnesota but anywhere in America, since the Civil War: a governor threatening to call out the National Guard to forcibly resist federal authority and prevent the enforcement of our national laws. George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday rejected the latest US-backed offering to end the Russia-Ukraine war, issuing a blistering rebuff that threatens to blow up President Trump’s peace plan.
A terse statement from Moscow’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs slammed the US-European proposal for security assurances for Ukraine, saying the protection plan amounts to “a true axis of war.”
“The document turned out to be extremely far from a peace settlement. The declaration is not aimed at achieving a lasting peace and security but rather at continuing the militarization, escalation and further conflict aggravation,” the ministry claimed.
Nationwide protests have swept Iran for 12 days now and analysts agree that this movement is fundamentally different than previous cost-of-living or women’s rights-driven protests. According to the latest reporting, over 111 cities in Iran are rising up against the brutal Islamic regime of Ayatollah Khamenei after 47 years of oppression under the Islamic Republic and the regime has responded by declaring war on the people. According to multiple outlets and my own on-the-ground sources,
It’s the story dominating headlines across America Wednesday night: an anti-ICE activist refused to heed law enforcement personnel’s orders to exit her vehicle — which was blocking the road in an attempt to impede a federal operation — and instead jammed the accelerator and struck an officer. He fired back, killing her.
The opposing views on what went down are stark: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the deceased driver, now identified as 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, a “domestic terrorist” and said ICE agents were entirely justified in their actions. Meanwhile, leftists like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
