Donald Trump, I admit, often makes me shake my head. I am 61, so I still instinctively prefer the Reagan style of respectful optimism and criticizing through gentle humor, even though I fully understand that Reagan led a very different America, and that Trump's hyperaggressiveness is likely better suited to the social media age. It's not a reasoned response; it is a nostalgic impulse. But even I make exceptions for Trump's Don Rickles act in certain cases, such as insulting the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and * like Adam Schiff. They fully deserve every barb they get, and many, many more.

Things have never really settled down in Minneapolis where activists have been following ICE agents for weeks. However, things seemed to be getting a little more chaotic today, leading to several scuffles. It started with confrontations at a Speedway gas station where a group of agents had stopped for some snacks. [Some NSFW language in the clips below.] Activists who had been following them swarmed the gas station: Bovino apparently had to leave the store. Someone who works at the Speedway came out and said the store would not serve ICE agents and told them to leave.

The Trump administration is actively seeking regime change in Cuba and hopes to cut a deal to end communist rule on the island by the end of the year, according to a report.
To facilitate the political transition, the Trump administration is searching for Cuban government insiders who could help the US push the existing communist leaders out of power, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
A “concrete plan” for doing away with the communist government that has ruled Cuba for nearly 70 years has not yet been developed, according to the outlet, but the government’s grip on the island has never been more fragile.

U.S. equities leaped after Wednesday after President Donald Trump called off new Europe tariffs, saying a deal framework has been reached over Greenland.
Stocks were already rising after the president earlier said in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he would not use force to acquire Greenland.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
surged 588.64 points, or 1.21%, to end at 49,007.23. The S&P 500
gained 1.16% and closed at 6,875.62, while the Nasdaq Composite
advanced 1.18% to settle at 23,224.82. Even with the day’s gains, the three leading indexes are still in the red for the week. The Dow is pacing for a 0.6% decline.
President Trump continued to press the case for U.S. control of Greenland during remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, needling the assembled European leaders and boasting that America could take the Danish territory by force if he so chose, before ultimately ruling out that course of action.
“We never asked for anything, and we never got anything, we probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that,” Trump said, referring to America’s outsized historic contribution to NATO and the reluctance of member countries to support the U.S. takeover of Greenland.

Federal Intervention in State By Refusing
to Enforce Law and Order 10 replies
Democratic politicians are inviting more federal intervention in Minnesota by excusing the church invasion that violated federal law and citizens’ rights, says lawyer Jonathan Turley.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison “is a curious form of attorney general who opposes the actual enforcement of laws,” Turley wrote on January 20, adding
Ellison is refusing to enforce his own laws while suing to bar the federal government from enforcing its own laws. He is akin to a doctor who opposes the actual administration of medicine.
In some ways, Ellison has proven the perfect Antifa Attorney General, a law enforcement officer who supports the mob while denouncing the police.

There has been extensive excitement, in both directions, over the activist stunt that took place in St. Paul this weekend involving disgraced former CNN journalist Don Lemon. That is to say, social media has been all over his participation, but the conventional media apparatus has been notably muted in addressing what went on Sunday. This event could turn out to be a crucial fulcrum in the way the nation is headed.

President Donald Trump held a nearly two-hour-long White House press briefing on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of his second inauguration.
Trump started the briefing at 1:48 p.m. Eastern and left the podium at 3:33 p.m. at the culmination of the one hour and forty-five-minute engagement with reporters in a jam-packed James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. Near the top of the briefing, Trump touted arrests his administration is making in Minnesota, including “apprehending murderers, drug dealers, and a lot of bad people.” Trump displayed flyers featuring pictures of those who have been taken into custody, along with graphics reading “Minnesota Worst of Worst.”
A three-judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit struck down Maryland’s private property concealed carry ban on Tuesday.
The case centered on the ban reached the Fourth Circuit on appeal after being heard in May 2025 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.
The three judges hearing the case were: Chief Judge Albert Diaz, Circuit Judges Roger L. Gregory, and G. Steven Agee. The judges weighed Maryland’s private property concealed carry ban via the methodology set forth in Bruen (2022). Then, “Judge Gregory, joined by Chief Judge Diaz, [wrote] for the Court, and Judge Agree joins,” saying, “We hold that Maryland’s prohibition
Wells Fargo is relocating the headquarters of its wealth management business to West Palm Beach, becoming the first major U.S. bank to base its wealth operations in Florida, the company confirmed Monday.
The San Francisco-based bank signed a lease for 50,000 square feet at the One Flagler office building, according to wealth chief Barry Sommers. About 100 employees, mostly senior executives including nearly half of the unit’s operating committee, will relocate to the new office by year-end, Bloomberg reported. The office is scheduled to open in August.
Wells Fargo’s wealth unit generated $16 billion in revenue last year, accounting for roughly 20 percent of the bank’s total revenue.
With Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of President Trump's return to the Oval Office, there's been a fair amount of focus on the administration's achievements — and rightly so.
President Trump himself joined the day's press briefing and had a little fun with it as he touted the multitude of accomplishments he and his team have secured over the past year. But Trump wasn't alone in touting the administration's successes. As they've done all year, Trump's Cabinet secretaries and key department heads each made a point to highlight their respective agencies'/departments' achievements.
t was crazy that the anti-ICE agitators thought it would be a good idea to storm a church in the middle of its service to push their hateful anti-ICE agenda. They apparently believed that one of the pastors was connected to ICE.
But screaming and disrupting people trying to pray is a pretty disgraceful look; it exposed how crazy and extreme they are to people who might not have understood it before.
In addition to being wrong about ICE, if you're screaming in a church and frightening children, you are not the good guys in this equation.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled by former Vice President Al Gore during a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, according to news coverage.
Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported.
“I sat and listened to his remarks,” Gore said Wednesday in a statement provided to Mediaite. “I didn’t interrupt him in any way. It’s no secret that I think this

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have reportedly refused to cooperate with immigration officials and released 500 criminal illegals back into the community. (snip) [O]ne of the things we have asked Gov. Walz and Jacob Frey is to just give us the criminals you have in jail," said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "They've released 490 murderers, and rapists, and drug traffickers into the streets, rather than just give them to us -- and that's what I don't understand."
Things are really heating up in Davos, Switzerland, as the elites gather at the upscale ski resort to talk about the global economy, geopolitics, technology (particularly AI), and climate change; they will, in turn, lecture the rest of us on these topics as they pretend to be subject matter experts, all from the comfort of their private jets and their gargantuan estates.
Fun stuff.
Well, Team Trump is now on the snowy grounds of Davos, and things are getting good.
As RedState's Rusty Weiss reported, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick kicked things off Tuesday with a strategic strike on the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its "globalist orthodoxy."

Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember her?
In 2022, Jean-Pierre made history as the first openly gay black female lesbian of color to serve as White House press secretary. Journalists and other Democrats squealed with joy.
In 2025, Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, primarily as a means of expressing solidarity with Hamas. She wrote a memoir defending Joe Biden's zombie reelection campaign. It was so bad that it forced Democrats to abandon their faith in DEI. They could finally admit that Republicans were right.
Former colleagues rushed to denounce Jean-Pierre as "incompetent," "ineffectual," and "unprepared." The Washington Post charitably described her as a "devoted apparatchik" with
San Francisco's beloved mall will finally shut its doors after years of harrowing decline and fears of crime and homelessness. San Francisco Centre, formerly known as the Westfield Mall, will permanently close on January 26, an employee for the disgraced shopping center's lone remaining store told the San Francisco Chronicle. The iconic mall began spiraling downward with the rest of the Democrat run city after the COVID-19 pandemic. Rumors of the closure have circulated for months as sprawling homeless encampments deterred tourists and locals alike. As downtown foot traffic decreased, the mall saw fewer and fewer customers. Its flagship

Bundle up — or else! A life-threatening Arctic blast is set to strike the eastern US in the coming days, plunging temperatures below zero and into the single digits as experts warn people to stay inside or risk hypothermia. The bone-chilling cold front is expected to peak later this week, with Chicago, parts of Michigan and upstate New York among the hardest hit, forecasters said.

Cuba's communist leadership is talking very tough about its willingness to fight to the last man. Over the weekend the country announced plans for a "state of war."
The Cuban national defence council said it had approved “plans and measures” to declare a “state of war” to be enacted in the country, state media reported on Sunday.
No details were given as to how this would be implemented, but the press release said the measures would be based on the concept of “war of all the people”, a strategy promoted in the 1980s under the country’s former leader Fidel Castro as the allied Soviet Union was collapsing.
Reconciling US Needs vs. Danish Claims

In the fall of 1998, I traveled to Denmark to take up my duties as the American Ambassador in Copenhagen. Often referred to as the “Fairytale Kingdom,” courtesy of its native son, Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is a remarkable country that has been an exceptional ally of the United States for well over 200 years. The Danes have built a nation that combines Viking valor with a deep sense of duty to be one’s brother’s keeper. The admirable character of the Danish people was perhaps best exemplified when it became the only country in Europe to rescue virtually its entire Jewish population through a daring evacuation to neutral Sweden
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon—who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt—that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service."
Ellison appeared on Lemon's YouTube show on Monday to discuss the protest, in which Lemon accompanied Minneapolis attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, and other activists on "Operation Pull Up," the Washington Free Beacon reported. The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE,

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson never seems to disappoint if you’re a PJ Media writer looking for the next thing to investigate. In the media business, you could say she’s “good copy.” And so today, during oral arguments in a Second Amendment case, Wolford v. Lopez, she did it again.
For background, the case itself centers on a Hawaiian law that does not allow people with public carry licenses to have their handguns on them when they are on private property that is open to the public, unless they have prior permission from the owner.
