President Trump is a Rolling Stones fan, but his actions this week reflect a Led Zeppelin tune. (snip)nThe USA has been defending Greenland longer thanDenmaek because on April 9, 1940, the Danes fought the Germans valiantly for six hours but threw in the towel because Denmark did not want to be annihilated. The Danes were in this position because because while Germany built up their military after the Great War ended, the rest of the countries that make up the western portion of today's EU did not. A year to the date after the surrender, Danish Ambassador Henrik Kauffmann (acting independently) signed an Agreement Relating to the Defense of Greenland with Secretary of State Cordell Hull.

In Kansas
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 1/20/2026 1:17:21 PM
A years-long effort to hold a convention of states to propose amendments under Article V of the Constitution appears poised to hit a major milestone in Kansas this week as the legislature mulls becoming the 20th state to call for such a move. (snip) Article V of the U.S. Constitution allows amendments if two-thirds of the state legislatures approve the calling of a state convention for a specified, limited purpose. (snip) [A] minimum of 34 states would need to approve such a move for a convention to occur, and any proposed amendments would still need to be ratified by three quarters of the states (38).

Over $1 Billion In Misused Medicaid Funds
For Illegal Aliens 8 replies
In a major escalation of federal oversight, audits by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Trump administration have determined that California must repay more than $1 billion in improperly claimed federal Medicaid funds tied to healthcare for illegal aliens. The findings highlight California's role as the "biggest culprit" among several blue states (snip) that collectively face demands to return $1.35 billion in questioned reimbursement. (snip) The audit found these funds were used to subsidize non-emergency healthcare for non-citizens violating federal restrictions that limit Medicaid reimbursements to emergency services only for non-citizens without saisfactory immigration status.
The study found enormous cost savings if New England's demand for electricity was met with nuclear, natural gas, or a combination of the two by 2050. It would also prevent dangerous blackouts that could last 18 hours under the renewables-only scenario. New England states pay the highest electricity costs in the continental U.S.. (snip) New England states also have some off the most aggressive net-zero emissions policies in the country, which aim to reduce emissions from electricity generation by 80% by 2050. (snip) New Englanders would save as much as $708 billion if it instead supported its grid with new natural gas plants (snip.)
President Trump and his administration need to see the immigration fight through all the way to the end. Illegal immigrants have to go, every single one of them, no exceptions, no special rules, because they're nice or they have a dog or they're hanging out in the vicinity of a church or it's Tuesday and a full moon. Every single one of them needs to be gone. And if we don't do it, the country is screwed in the long term. In the short term, the Republicans are screwed.
Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has announced that more than 10,000 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested in Minnesota since the Trump administration has taken office. Since the launch of Operation Metro Surge in December, DHS has apprehended over 3,000 aliens with prior convictions ranging from murder, rape, and pedophilia. Noem then reiterated that she has assets on the ground conducting investigations into the massive fraud rampant in Minnesota.
Tina Peters: Free At Last?
7 replies
We both know that politicians and judges can be vicious and corrupt, but with regard to Tina Peters, they outdid themselves. Tina Peters has been sitting in a Colorado state prison since October, 2024. During the 2020 election, Tina Peters was the top election official in Mesa County, Colorado. In October, 2024 the 70-year old widow was sentenced to nine years in prison by District Court Judge Matthew Barrett. Given the lengthy sentence, you'd think that Peters molested a child, pushed someone onto a subway track, or stole $50,000 from a Mesa County bank. You'd be wrong.
Republicans are now on the investigative prowl and sounding increasingly confident that they can find and prove there was an intentional strategy by Democrats to hijack elections and manipulate apportionment in blue states like Minnesota. (snip) The Republican's argument goes like this: Democrats (snip) ensured that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, were counted in the census, then President Biden opened the Southern border (snip.) Next, liberal nonprofits helped move these migrants (snip) [to] Democrat-run cities (snip) and helped them enroll in welfare (snip.) And finally, Democrat leaders (snip) failed to act (snip) when evidence emerged that noncitizens were defrauding (snip) those safety net programs (snip.)
Anti-ICE leftists stormed a St. Paul church Sunday morning and shut down the worship service after learning that one of the church's pastors allegedly works as an ICE agent. "This is unacceptable, it's shameful," the lead pastor of Cities Church, Jonathan Parnell, said to Don Lemon (snip.) One of the Church's pastors (snip) allegedly works as an ICE agent in St. Paul. Nekima Levy Armstrong, an activist, said they were there to let the church know "this will not stand." Armstrong was the one who initiated the disruption inside the church, yelling as the lead pastor finished a prayer.
Recently, significant policy changes have begun moving the country back toward informed consent and individualized medical care. For the first time in decades, federal health agencies are retreating from long-entrenched models of coercion and centralized control, openly acknowledging the limits of what they know. The renewed emphasis on transparency, shared clinical decision-making, and rejection of one-size-fits-all medicine should feel like a long overdue correction. (snip) Just as the federal system begins to correct course, California and other coastal blue states are doubling down on the very coercive model that failed so catastrophically during Covid -- while insisting, with growing urgency, that they alone are "protecting science."
Even after a lawyer representing Becca Good confirmed the pair were not married, news outlets and social media influencers refuse to correct the inaccurate portrayal of a "bereaved widow." (snip) Sticking with the lie that Renee and Becca were married is a critical part of the overall false narrative of their actions that day(snip)[:] A happy lesbian married couple had just dropped their young son off at school when they just happened upon an ICE operation in their community so they exercised their First Amendment rights at that moment to express their displeasure with illegal immigrant removals. But every aspect of that sympathy-promoting hagiography is untrue.

Actress Frances Fisher lead a left-wing assumable cast calling for a mass “walkout” in protest of President Donald Trump and a “walk in” to congressional offices to demand the president’s impeachment.
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore,” the Edge of Night and Titanic star screamed into the camera at the top of the two-minute video.

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.
This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.
Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.
Left-wing media pundit Don Lemon claimed he was just acting "as a journalist" when he videotaped a mob of anti-ICE agitators storming a church in Minnesota on Sunday. At the same time, he appeared to coordinate with the group and was seen on video kissing the head organizer of the “operation.” The incident is now under DOJ investigation.
Lemon was seen on video giving "Operation Pull Up" organizer leader Nekima Armstrong a kiss on the cheek prior to the agitators storming the church in St. Paul. Lemon, on video, also said that he knew that the agitators were “gearing up for resistance and protest” at the church
No politician is more of an enigma than Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
For years she has been rumored to have married her brother – allegations she has called 'absurd and offensive'. Her family fortunes, steered by her white, American husband, have curiously skyrocketed to $30million.
And more recently, her Minneapolis community has been mired in shocking fraud allegations.But even more disconcerting is the question about her citizenship.

We’ve been treated to some horrendous halftime shows since the advent of the Super Bowl almost 60 years ago — think Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake — and some fabulous ones too (think: Prince). It’s become a much-hyped tradition that gets some people excited while sending others to the kitchen to make a sandwich and get ready for the third quarter. The National Football League has notoriously strayed away from its moneymaker, football, and waded into social politics before, to the chagrin of many a loyal fan. Remember their ludicrous endzone statements that began after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and their pithy little meaningless pronouncements like,
Entrepreneur Hari Raghavan posted a screenshot of a letter he received from California looking for taxes from four years ago — after he says he moved out of the former Golden State.
“[S]eriously: 4 years later CA is hunting down those who left,” Raghavn wrote on X, adding that the state is demanding a “Narrative of the circumstances surrounding you becoming non-residents.”
“[W]hat a joke,” he added. “This is what a failing state looks like.”
Yep. [Tweet]
It’s probably not a coincidence that Raghavan has said things the Thought Police find offensive.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom will be making the roughly 6,000 mile journey this week from the Hollywood Hills to the Swiss Alps to rip into President Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Trump’s economic agenda betrays our nation: it is not ‘America First’ but ‘Trump First’ — rewarding the favored, punishing the dissenters, and burdening the rest,” Newsom told Politico in a statement. Newsom, largely seen as a top presidential contender, was scheduled to speak on Thursday, one day after Trump was set to take the stage.
The Democrat plans to confront Trump’s view of capitalism as “an assault on the free market,” and label the president as a

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.
The latest elected official to earn Alinsky's approval, while also making a mockery of law and order, is Minnesota's Attorney General himself, Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison, who is Muslim and the top law enforcement officer in the state, appeared Monday on Don Lemon's livestream to discuss the Sunday ambush of services at Cities Church in St. Paul by a horde of anti-ICE agitators.

Anti-ICE protesters staged a sit-in inside and occupied a Target store in Minnesota on Monday, demanding that the retailer take a stand against federal immigration authorities. A group of protesters occupied the store, claiming Target was allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to operate in its parking lot. "Target parking lots have been a meeting place for ICE agents," one protester holding an "Abolish ICE" sign said at the retailer's St. Paul location. "ICE agents are using the toilets at Target, so they're facilitating this invasion." Target is serving as a "staging ground" for ICE, he
William Kelly, the DC-based agitator who was arrested on Friday and released only to storm a St. Paul church with other anti-ICE agitators on Sunday, has said he "feels good" about his actions after visiting a local mosque that he praised, in contrast to churchgoers that he harassed on Sunday.
"So we’ve been invited to the local Somali mosque, and as you can see how beautiful it is. This is where they do their prayer," Kelly said. "This is where normally, 500 people will, you know, come and make prayer, but things are quiet because the local community is scared to come out. They’re terrified. It was an honor
Americans love pickup trucks — they are our national vehicle.
Pickups are practical and fun to drive. You can use them for work, home projects, or road trips. Your kids can ride in the back if they’re acting up. And they’re a symbol of a core American identity: toughness, a spirit for adventure, a life philosophy grounded in pragmatism and enterprise. But in recent years, pickups have gotten wildly expensive. So expensive, in fact, that I find it hard to believe that Americans are keeping themselves out of a debt trap after purchasing them.
More than 233,000 full-sized pickups were sold in December 2025, making it the best month for
As Minnesota continues to grapple with weeks of anti-ICE unrest, the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) has encouraged its members to take part in a statewide "economic blackout" on January 23 to protest ICE in Minnesota.
The union’s message, circulated to members this week, said, “The Minnesota Nurses Association is encouraging members to participate in this day of action, including the economic blackout and the 2:00 pm rally, as a visible show of solidarity with immigrant communities, workers, and families impacted by ICE activity.” The day of action has been dubbed "ICE Out of Minnesota: A Day of Truth and Freedom."

A dubious but persistent proposal. In the current environment a Convention of States would be like loosening a cannon and firing off a round just to see what happens. It will be recalled that the Constitution itself was the product of a convention of states called merely to amend the Articles of Confederation. I prefer that any amendments be proposed, considered, and adopted one at a time. Yes, President Trump called attention to this proposal once last year but has since forgotten about it. We should, too.
