At this point, it needs to be said out loud: the biggest obstacle standing in the way of real change and Trump’s America First movement right now isn’t the left. It’s our own cruddy partyDems do exactly what they promise… They unapologetically vote together, fight, and fund their ideology. But Republicans campaign like fighters, rage out on X, line up for Fox News soundbites, and then govern like terrified hostages. They tell voters one thing, then very quickly do the complete opposite once cameras stop rolling.
And that’s why moments like this matter…
Rep. Tim Burchett is furious. He just admitted something every conservative voter has known

Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Director Dr. Mehmet Oz and Deputy Director for Health and Human Services, Jim O’Neill, just released a stunning video from Minnesota. They discuss a former linen factory that was transformed into 400 Medicaid businesses that generated almost $380 million in billing to CMS.
It doesn’t make sense. One industrial building housing almost 400 individual Medicaid businesses that cost taxpayers $380 million in payments for services that are now under investigation. It is almost guaranteed these complex houses fraudulent fake businesses. Director Oz dropped the video on his X account.
A day before the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., 76 House Republicans joined their Democrat colleagues in defeating a measure aimed at preventing taxpayer dollars from bankrolling facilities that perform abortions and “trans” surgeries on children.
The moment came late Thursday afternoon when the GOP-controlled House of Representatives killed an amendment put forward by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., to a FY2026 government spending bill. The amendment sought to ax Senate-inserted earmarks that allocate millions in taxpayer money to entities that conduct harmful “trans” procedures on minors and abortions.
Rather than play statesman on the world stage, Gavin Newsom brought his troll act to Davos — and it bombed.
Trump is alienating our allies through his boorish rhetoric, Democrats routinely scream.
Yet Newsom opted to be at least as boorish, slamming foreign leaders for being too polite to Trump — in the crudest language possible: “I can’t take this complicity, people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders.”
Newsom has used the sexually-suggestive and degrading “kneepads” line before, bashing Republicans who defer to the prez.
Used it because it works . . . among partisan Democrats.
Many of you may remember back in 2024 I strongly urged President Trump to consider appointing Harriet Hageman as CIA Director for very specific reasons and intents. Watch this video below and you will see why she was my preferred choice.
Representative Hageman has just found an important trail to discover the missing documents, recordings and transcripts that were destroyed by the January 6 Committee. WATCH: (dvideoKeep in mind that former AAG Mary McCord was working for the J6 Committee at the time period being discussed. When the J6 Committee closed, McCord went to work directly with Jack Smith.
The U.S. was one of the first countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) when it was created in 1948 as part of the United Nations. But on Jan. 22, 2026, it officially withdrew from the global health group.
The U.S. has historically been the largest funder to the WHO, through both its assessed and voluntary contributions, so the departure is poised to disrupt both global and domestic health. “This is one of the most penny-wise and billion-dollar-foolish moves,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
President Donald Trump has pulled back a threat to impose new tariffs on European countries on Feb. 1, after signaling progress on a deal for the U.S. acquisition of Greenland.
Following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 21, Trump said he formed the framework of a future deal for the island and the greater Arctic region.
“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
The videos coming out of Minneapolis, of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers apprehending illegal immigrants in the streets while having to fight off aggressive and sometimes violent anti-ICE activists, are the predictable result of a Democrat strategy that amounts to nullification.
I mean nullification in the historical sense, like the Nullification Crisis of 1832 when South Carolina declared federal tariffs to be null and void within the boundaries of the state, and President Andrew Jackson threatened to send in the U.S. Army to enforce federal law.

After a brief return to the U.S. due to unexpected electrical issues aboard Airforce One, President Trump is now on the ground in Davos, Switzerland and about to make his speech to the international assembly gathered at the World Economic Forum 2026.
According to the schedule President Trump is expected to make his remarks at 8:30am Eastern Time. There are multiple livestreams below from domestic and international news outlets. The entire western world is watching to see what happens next.
A top staffer for 'America's wokest prosecutor' was part of the anti-ICE mob who stormed a Minnesota church during Sunday service.
Jamael Lundy, an aide to Hennepin County’s Soros-backed prosecutor Mary Moriarty, was seen among the mob as ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon streamed from inside the church in St Paul, reports the Daily Wire.
According to his campaign website, Lundy is currently running for a seat in the Minnesota state legislature as a Democrat and works as intergovernmental affairs coordinator for Moriarty
write to you from snowcapped Switzerland. Every January, I make the trek for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) high in the Alps at Davos, where pretentious billionaires, the politicians they own, and WEF groupies gather to celebrate themselves in what I imagine the Oscars might have been like if the Nazis had hosted them at the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden:
“And zee vinner for zee most forced vaxi-nashuns goes to…”
[sound of envelope tearing]
…Justin Trudeau!”

The private jet that crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday evening is registered to prominent anti-ICE lawyers who were spending tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats in the upcoming Texas primaries.
The crash resulted in seven fatalities and one serious injury.
The jet was registered to Arnold & Itkin Trial Lawyers, known for its aggressive litigation and leftist political activism, including substantial financial support for Democrat causes, particularly those opposing strict immigration enforcement and Republican policies in Texas.
The victims’ names have not been released at this time, but early reports indicate that people associated with the firm were on board.
Alex Pretti did something foolish and illegal at the protest in Minneapolis. He interfered with law enforcement agents. There will be debates for days if not years about whether his illegal interference with the cops, the discovery of his gun, and his violent resistance justified them shooting him.
In considering that issue, I urge readers to consider it not from the warm comfort of their recliner while watching slow-motion videotapes interspersed with football highlights, but from the perspective of cops who are being taunted, spat upon, name-called, and threatened with being run over by organized protesters in the bitter
Former President Bill Clinton threw gasoline on the fire on Sunday after violence erupted in Minneapolis this weekend following a fatal ICE-involved shooting.
ICE agents are conducting raids in Minnesota because Democrat Governor Tim Walz and other Democrat leaders are not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers.
Governor Walz and far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have encouraged anti-ICE agitators to fight back in get in the face of federal agents.
DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when an armed man approached Border Patrol officers, the DHS said.
The situation in Minnesota is out of control, and finally, happy hands lunatic Tim Walz has chosen reason, deciding to cooperate with Trump officials in the wake of the recent shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday. It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed. Meanwhile, some conservatives claimed wrongly that he was about to commit mass slaughter before he was shot—Pretti was legally carrying a firearm at the protest. It’s created a total mess on messaging, and now Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, appointing Tom Homan
The wife of a homeless charity boss who allegedly cheated California taxpayers out of $23 million dollars was spotted dashing out of her $7 million dollar mansion Sunday — as neighbor’s dished on the couple’s lavish lifestyle.
Alexander Soofer and Ashley Afraimian allegedly blew $40,000 just on landscaping at their Westwood estate, which the feds claim was bought with fraudulently obtained funds meant to help Los Angeles’ homeless community.
“The neighborhood is buzzing,” one local resident said.
A new National Police Service (NPS) will free up local forces to tackle everyday crime by taking over responsibility for counter-terror, fraud and organised crime investigations, the home secretary has said.
Shabana Mahmood told the BBC the NPS, which she has dubbed a "British FBI", was "absolutely not" about saving money but about designing a new policing model for England and Wales.
It will bring the work of existing agencies such as the National Crime Agency (NCA) and regional organised crime units under the same organisation, buying new technology such as facial recognition on behalf of all forces.
It's a day ending in -y, and here's another so-called medical professional vowing to discriminate against conservative patients. This time, it's a nurse in Florida who says he won't give Republicans undergoing surgery anesthesia, and that it's not only his right but ethical for him to do so. [Tweet]
"I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!" Martindale wrote in a social media post below his picture.
We're learning a lot more about the people who were in the anti-ICE Signal chat groups that independent journalist Cam Higby infiltrated in Minnesota, the organization of the group, its donors, and the significance of the address at which Alex Pretti was obstructing federal officers. There's far too much information to detail completely in this piece, but even just from an overview, it's clear that there is an organized insurrection underway, led by several elected officials in Minnesota and aided by alleged journalists.
Let's hit the highlights:
Organization
The groups are highly sophisticated. They're set up geographically; within the City of Minneapolis, they're generally divided by City Council district, but also
Trump Sends Tom Homan to Minnesota

Amid continuing violent insurrection in Minneapolis, where local police and state authorities are siding with anti-ICE rioters, Donald Trump is sending his border czar to oversee operations personally.
Border Patrol shot an armed and violent protestor, Alex Pretti, as he feloniously clashed with them during an operation to arrest a criminal illegal alien. Since then, the property destruction and assaults on federal immigration officers escalated, while Minnesota and Minneapolis authorities refused to do anything to enforce the rule of law. Gov. Tim Walz deployed the National Guard but apparently mainly to hand out goodies to violent protesters. So Donald Trump is taking action.
The Washington Post could shut down its entire sports section after management informed staffers that it was abruptly scrapping its planned coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics two weeks before the opening ceremony.
The decision by the Jeff Bezos-owned publication to cancel coverage of the Winter Games coincides with a report from Puck News journalist Dylan Byers, who tweeted on Saturday that “massive layoffs” at the paper were imminent.
According to Byers, there is increased chatter that the Washington Post’s “sports desk could be shuttered entirely” and that its “foreign desk will be hit hard too.”
A Washington Post spokesperson was not immediately available to comment.
Eighty-eight-year-old Washington, DC, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) ended her reelection campaign early Sunday amid calls for her retirement.
Norton filed a termination report with the Federal Election Commission, the Hill reported, noting she had served in the role for the past 35 years.
“Former senior aide of the D.C. Democrat, Trent Holbrook, launched a bid for her seat earlier this month, while Robert White, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, announced his intention to run for the District’s sole nonvoting seat in September,” the article read.
Along with her age, the elderly delegate has been facing criticism regarding her health and mental acuity, according to the Washington Examiner.

As we all know, the only thing "progressive" about the Left over the last ten years has been the progression of their psychological affliction known as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Think about it: TDS during President Donald Trump's first term was already festering, but the rhetoric with its accompanying violence was arguably not quite as incendiary as it is today.
In a Sunday example, a librarian — yes, a librarian — was arrested after allegedly posting online videos trying to recruit assassins to kill the president. Is anyone surprised? Other than the fact that this librarian is a lunatic, perhaps.
