PBS Pulls Plug on Weekend News
Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/11/2026 4:29:07 PM
PBS confirmed the cancellation in a post on X, stating: “Due to federal budget cuts, PBS News had to make the difficult decision to rework our staffing and programming. This Sunday, our PBS News Weekend team will sign off the air.” The announcement follows the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) voting to dissolve itself on January 5, 2026, completing a shutdown process that began after the rescission of federal funding triggered by a May 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump and a $9 billion rescissions package passed by Congress in mid-2025.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is forgoing a promised court-martialing and taking a behind-closed-doors track to attempt to punish Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.).
The administrative move — which seeks to reduce Kelly’s retirement rank and military pension — is the latest in the bitter back-and-forth between the Trump administration and the retired Navy captain after he joined five other Democratic lawmakers in a November video reminding service members that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders.While Hegseth is taking Kelly into uncharted legal waters, using an action typically meant to scrutinize service members’ active-duty conduct,
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell this week, suggesting that far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar sits “at the top of the suspect list” in the sprawling Minnesota fraud scandals involving taxpayer-funded daycare and healthcare programs.
The comments came during a pointed exchange with journalist Alison Steinberg, who raised serious concerns about whether members of Congress themselves may have benefited from money funneled through political action committees tied to fraudulent daycare and healthcare schemes.
Disgraced former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Mandelson, has claimed to have been ‘kept in the dark’ about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes ‘because he was gay’.
The Telegraph reported:
“The peer was sacked as ambassador to the United States last year after it emerged [that] he had urged the financier to fight for early release from prison.
Lord Mandelson claimed that, because of his sexuality, he was ‘kept separate from what [Epstein] was doing in the sexual side of his life’.”
don’t mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but we’re being manipulated. By “we,” I mean all of us—you, me, anybody who is exposed to any media at all, but especially social media. We’re not being lied to, exactly, but we’re being force-fed a version of the truth that is intended to control our emotions, influence our reactions, and direct our behavior. The powers that be—and this is very much a part of the rupture between the ruling class and the country class—want to encourage specific social and political responses from us and are doing everything they can to make them happen.
Video footage captured an activist using a megaphone to shout: “Standing with the resistance, we affirm that Palestinians have the right to return to their homeland that was stolen from them during the 1948 Nakba [when the state of Israel declared its independence].
“We believe in the right to resist by any and all means necessary, for the full liberation and from the river to the sea!”
A chant then broke out of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore condemned the protest. He wrote on X: “Shocked to see this disgraceful scene outside a Jewish restaurant in Notting Hill.
Proceed with Caution on Venezuelan Oil

With his pressure campaign against Venezuela following the removal of tyrant Nicolás Maduro, President Trump is making up for what he considers to be the fatal flaw in George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq: He’s not leaving the oil behind this time.The administration is moving swiftly to control the output of Venezuela’s oil sector, which has been wracked by decades of socialist mismanagement and corruption. In a social media post,
Between American military operations in Venezuela and Iran, anti-ICE protesters screeching in the streets, mass demonstrations in Iran, ongoing terrorist attacks in our cities, and other conflicts, you can understand why some Americans are feeling a little jittery. It’s hardly a surprise, then, when some observers were freaked out when the “Doomsday plane” landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday.The Air Force plane, a Boeing E‑4B Nightwatch, is equipped to become a floating Pentagon in the sky and maintain operations even if catastrophe hits — a doomsday scenario — and is built to withstand nuclear and even EMP attacks. It also boasts massive communications abilities.
The two key guidelines that have most impacted American food policy (and public health) for nearly 50 years were to limit total fat to no more than 30% and saturated fat to no more than 10% of calorie intake. These restrictions were set because it was thought that fat caused heart disease (in middle aged men). My PhD examined the evidence for those guidelines and the beliefs upon which they were based and found that they should not have been introduced – then or now. Other research teams have found the same.
There are three macronutrients: fat, protein and carbs.

Something being exposed with these stand-offs between federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and city law enforcement agencies is the incompetent activists who lead them. Look at Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day, who my colleague Rusty Weiss just revealed held back in disclosing the facts behind the Portland shooting of two Tren de Aragua connected illegals by Border Patrol, precipitating the dissemination of a fake narrative and escalating further chaos in his city. Then there is Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, who instructed his residents to call 911 on ICE agents.
While the news media is focused on the anti-ICE protests happening in Minnesota, there was another protest happening on the west coast that did not get nearly as much attention.
The people of the Pacific Palisades held a protest to speak out against the non-existent rebuilding in the area, a full year after wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.
The people there are demanding an end to red tape, fees, and other things standing in the way of recovery, as well as the leaders who are not doing their jobs.
The national media doesn’t want to cover this because the leaders in question are Democrats.

The Minnesota daycare at the center of mounting scrutiny over public childcare funds is now officially closed.
According to state licensing records, the Quality Learning Center shut its doors this week, marking a quiet end to a facility that became nationally known after being featured in an investigative video by YouTuber Nick Shirley.
Fox News reported that the Minnesota Department of Human Services confirmed the closure, noting that the daycare’s license was formally terminated earlier this month.
“Quality Learning Center requested closure of their license and it was closed effective Jan. 6, 2026,” a Minnesota Department of Youth, Children, and Families spokesperson told Fox News.

Whoopsie. Look what Tampon Tim signed into law back in 2020. As the circus over the George Floyd protests raged on, Minnesota’s Legislature updated its “use-of-force” statute, and Gov. Walz signed it into law that July.

And it’s all based on the totality of circumstances known at the moment, not some hindsight debate after the fact.

As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surged into Minneapolis, Minnesota, one local McDonald’s made a public display against the upholding of federal immigration law.
The Daily Wire posted an image of the sign, which was captioned “NO ICE ACCESS IN THIS BUSINESS,” to social media platform X on Thursday afternoon.
The sign was clear that it was intended as a “NOTICE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT & IMMIGRATION AGENTS.” “This is a private business,” it said.
“You are not permitted to enter non-public areas of this business (including offices, break rooms, storage areas, and staff-only areas) without a valid JUDICIAL WARRANT signed by a judge or magistrate.”

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters."
Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability."
"From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote.
Minnesota sued the Trump administration on Monday, asking a court to halt a massive federal immigration operation they claim is unconstitutional, politically motivated and endangering public safety.
The lawsuit claims “Operation Metro Surge” has led to racial profiling and disruptions to public life.
“The unlawful deployment of thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota,” said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. “People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted."
The scandal surrounding Somali-linked welfare fraud in Minnesota has been festering for more than a decade. For years, it lingered as an open secret, quietly discussed and carefully avoided. That era has ended. The Trump administration is going to turn a blind eye to it in the way other past administrations have in the past.
In an exclusive interview, Christopher Rufo and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out just how vast the problem has become — and why Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg because what the Treasury Department has uncovered is worse than most people realize.
The Billionaire Tax Act isn’t even officially on the California ballot yet, but that hasn’t stopped businessmen, entrepreneurs, and investors from fleeing the state, taking $1 trillion in wealth – along with jobs and opportunity – with them.
Tech entrepreneur Chamath Palihapitiya has been keeping track of who’s decided to leave the state in advance of this “temporary” tax.
“We had $2T of billionaire wealth just a few weeks ago. Now, 50% of that wealth has left – taking their income tax revenue, sales tax revenue, real estate tax revenue, and all their staffs (and their salaries and income taxes) with them,” he posted on X this weekend.

While the Islamic Guard (IRGC) and foreign fighters massacre peaceful protesters in Iran, the Khamenei regime has threatened to attack Israel and the U.S. military and commercial shipping in the region if President Donald Trump orders a strike on Iranian targets. On Sunday, Iran’s parliamentary speaker declared that the U.S. and Israel would be “legitimate targets” in case of an American strike.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump cautioned that if the regime forces “start killing people,” the U.S. will “hit them really hard.”
Iran has so far decided to ignore President Trump’s warnings and has toughened its stance.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday — is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam. In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise.
Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero companies.
