President Donald Trump’s latest proposed tariff hike on South Korea comes at a particularly fraught moment for U.S.-Korea relations given that Seoul has carried out a whole-of-government campaign against a prominent U.S.-based online retailer in recent months while at the same time pursuing closer ties with China.
President Trump said Monday afternoon he will raise tariffs on certain South Korean goods to 25 percent because Korea’s legislature has not passed the trade deal U.S. and Korean negotiators reached over the summer.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued with Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul Wednesday over whether the U.S.’ capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was an “act of war.” [snip]Rubio argued that Maduro’s capture does not “come anywhere close” to the constitutional definition of an act of war.[snip]Paul expressed disagreement with Rubio by stating that if any country captured the U.S. president in the same kind of operation carried out in Venezuela, he would declare war. Rubio said the U.S. is always going to act in its national interest and protection.

President Trump on Wednesday announced Colin McDonald as his nominee for a new assistant general for fraud position that would — with Senate approval — grant him a broad license to find and prosecute misappropriation of federal resources.
McDonald isn’t a well-known national figure, but has built a reputation as a “fearless” prosecutor whose anti-fraud resume includes winning convictions in a significant Hawaii law enforcement corruption case.
“I am pleased to nominate Colin McDonald to serve as the first ever Assistant Attorney General for National FRAUD Enforcement, a new Division at the Department of Justice, which I created to catch and stop FRAUDSTERS that have been STEALING from the American People,”

This video has been confirmed; it’s quite the kill shot for the liberal media narrative that’s been forming around the shooting of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24 after intervening, stupidly, in a federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis. It has set the city aflame again, the incident occurring a little more than two weeks after the death of Renee Good, who was shot and killed after ramming her car into an ICE agent. (snip) He’s shown spitting and attacking vehicles carrying federal agents in an altercation that occurred on January 13. The Star Tribune, citing Pretti's family, confirmed that it's him:
This is an interesting development. The FBI executed a federal search warrant today at the election offices of Fulton County, Georgia. Previously, the DOJ sued Fulton County to force them to turn over records from the 2020 election. Details of the search warrant parameters are not immediately available.

“A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the search is related to an effort by the Justice Department to seize election records and search of alleged voter fraud in the county, including Atlanta, which has long been a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 presidential
The Trump Administration's response to the weekslong insurrection in Minneapolis showed left-wing leaders across the country one thing: Riots work. (snip) Democrats in other cities are emboldened to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from doing their jobs. (snip) Sean Ryan, Democrat mayor of Buffalo, New York, decided on Monday to prohibit "the use of City of Buffalo personnel or resources for federal immigration enforcement." (snip) On Monday, the city council of (snip) Helena also passed a resolution instructing the city police department not to enter into agreements with or assist ICE. (snip) Democrats across the country are taking the Minneapolis blueprint and running with it (snip.)

Leftist religious leaders are planning to export Minnesota’s anti-ICE activism to congregations nationwide.
More than 600 clergy from various faiths gathered in Minneapolis on Thursday and Friday for what amounted to a resistance training conference, according to Religion News Service. Clad in “Abolish ICE” T-shirts, rainbow stoles and watermelon yarmulkes, attendees traded tactics for obstructing federal immigration enforcement between songs and prayers. “We have no doubt that there will be plenty of opportunity for ICE to show up in our community soon,” Unitarian Universalist Rev. Elizabeth Haralam Shuba of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, told RNS as she joined roughly 200 clergy marching through Minneapolis streets.
Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had some uncharacteristically useful comments on CNN this week. (snip) Walz said, "There was a tone shift. (snip) I think it's probably the press." (snip) It's one thing for Trump to engage in a tone shift (snip ) telling Minnesota Democrats (snip) that the deportation operation in the state "all goes away" if they simply hand over "criminals." But if he's going to cave in any way (snip) he might as well rename Kamala Harris the president's border czar, with CNN's wombat Brian Stelter second in command of immigration policy.
One week after more than 10,000 people marched through the streets of downtown Minneapolis to the Target Center for a rally to demand ICE operations cease in Minnesota, a second "National Day of Action" is planned to compel people to avoid shopping, school and work in solidarity after the shooting of Alex Pretti one day after the first march. National Day of Action What we know:

Hazmat crews have now confirmed the substance that was sprayed on Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) during a town hall event Tuesday evening—and you might have some of it in your cupboard right now. [snip]Officials have now confirmed the substance used was apple cider vinegar, according to reports — a non-toxic but notoriously pungent household item. The update was first reported by Alpha News Senior Reporter Liz Collin in a post on social media.[snip] Initial reports suggested that the substance triggered vomiting in at least one person—Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw—who was hit by the splash-back.
The end of The Late Show is only four months away, and it's just now starting to "feel real" for host Stephen Colbert. In his Tuesday, Jan. 27, appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Colbert, 61, reflected on the forthcoming end of his own late-night talk show, air its last episode in May after 10 seasons. "It feels real now," Colbert told Seth Meyers, as seen in a clip published on Instagram before the episode airs. "It did not feel... I mean, I know it was real, but now, there's four months left." Colbert explained to Meyers that
The socialist government in Spain is set to give amnesty to half a million illegal migrants as part of a deal with the far-left.
According to Madrid’s ABC newspaper, over 500,000 illegals will be offered the chance to gain residency permits in Spain if they can prove they have been in the country before December 31, 2025, have no criminal record, and can demonstrate that they were in Spain for at least five months before their application.
The amnesty programme, which will run until June 30, is set to be implemented by Royal Decree, meaning the government will not need parliament’s approval to enact it.
Federal court documents allege that anti-ICE agitators who disrupted a worship service at Cities Church blocked stairways to the childcare area, preventing parents from reaching their children amid the chaos.
According to an affidavit, one victim told investigators that parishioners attempted to retrieve their children from childcare but “the agitators were blocking the stairs, and the parents were unable to get to their children.” (snip) Other accounts include an agitator telling a child that their parents were “Nazis” who would “burn in hell.”
A Somalian lawmaker told the Daily Caller the Biden administration ignored billions of dollars in U.S. aid fraud, a scandal Trump officials said they have taken steps to address.
The Trump administration’s crackdown on Somali fraud has expanded beyond Minnesota and other states as U.S. and Somalian officials document a fraud scandal in the African country. Somalian lawmaker Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib shared 16 letters with the Caller documenting an estimated $3.2 to $3.6 billion in direct and indirect taxpayer fraud.
The letters were shared with members of the Somali government and at least some members of the U.S. government between Feb. 2, 2023, and July 14, 2024.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio certainly has shown how talented he is at the job.
He seems to have played a big part in a lot of the deals that the Trump team has pulled off. He's also been very skilled at laying out the Trump agenda and showing its worth, including while testifying before Congress.
Rubio was testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday. He laid out the progress that had been happening in Venezuela because of the U.S. pressure.

In a scene resembling an action movie, a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent borrowed a resident's all-terrain vehicle (ATV) to chase down and apprehend two illegal aliens who attempted to flee on foot through deep, snowy Maine. The incident, captured on video exclusively obtained by The Post Millennial, occurred on January 22 near Little Ossipee Pond in Waterboro.
Video footage shows the two illegal aliens, dressed in dark clothing, running across a vast, frozen landscape. As they trudge through the snow, an ICE agent appears on scene, driving an ATV provided by a nearby resident to aid the pursuit. The subjects continued to flee, but struggled to make headway.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents were spotted searching the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, the county's central election facility, reportedly in connection with matters related to the 2020 presidential election.The action comes just one week after President Trump, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, predicted that prosecutions were imminent over what he described as the "rigged" election.
Fox News Digital reports that "agents were seen entering" the Election Hub, something they describe as "a new facility that state officials opened in 2023 that was designed to streamline their election processes."
Foreign rulers should not have a say in what children learn in our nation’s K-12 schools, which is why we should be alarmed by the state of Qatar’s under-the-radar activities in American primary and secondary education.
Public documents from Georgia reveal that Qatar Foundation International (QFI), the Qatari royal family’s charity arm in the United States, is funding multiple education initiatives in the Peach State: K-12 teacher trainings, Arabic textbooks for young students, and student trips to Qatar. Qatar is already the largest foreign donor to American higher educational institutions, and if the Qatari royals are now spreading their money around in Georgia’s public school operations, parents have a right
No one ever said that the anti-ICE crew was smart.
Their whole premise is wrong from the jump, that they should be trying to stop the enforcement of federal law. But beyond that, while they may be organized, they're also frequently wrong, such as when they harass people they think are ICE but who aren't. They don't get the irony of their grilling American citizens on who they are and if they have ID, even as they argue against deporting people who are here illegally.
The death of an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this past weekend occurred right near an “autism clinic” at the center of an alleged multi-million-dollar Somali fraud scheme.

Under the United States Constitution, We The People have the most crucial sovereign power: to control our border and populace. Through our elected members of Congress, we decide who gets to come to America – and who must go. We set our national immigration policy decades ago through our elections and our subsequent federal immigration laws. In this last election, we gave President Donald Trump a broad electoral mandate – including a congressional majority – reaffirming his constitutional and statutory duties to mass-expel illegals from America – starting with the most dangerous criminals among them.
One of the survivors of the Hanukkah terror attack on Bondi Beach was given a non-Jewish-sounding pseudonym when she was admitted to the hospital following the attack, local media reported on Tuesday.
Staff at the Liverpool Hospital in western Sydney changed the name of Rosalia Shikhverg to the alias “Karen Jones” in the medical records, possibly in order to “disguise” her identity, an investigation by Sky News found. New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park has issued an apology to Shikhverg.
Shikhverg was rushed to the hospital on December 14 after sustaining gunshot and shrapnel wounds to the head during the shooting at a Hanukkah party
President Trump said Wednesday he has dispatched a “massive armada” toward Iran as the theocratic regime continues its bloody crackdown on its own people — with Trump warning that Middle Eastern leaders could face the same fate as Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro.
The president demanded that Tehran agree to negotiate a “fair and equitable deal” regarding its nuclear program and reminded the regime that he wasn’t afraid to use force against it last year.
“A massive Armada is heading to Iran,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose.
America loves to debate socialism. We argue about universal healthcare, guaranteed income, student loan forgiveness, and government dependency. We pride ourselves on our rugged independence and belief in free markets. We warn that socialism destroys innovation, freedom, and personal responsibility. But here’s the uncomfortable truth most Americans never stop to consider: the most centrally planned, government-dependent, subsidy-driven system in the United States isn’t medicine, housing, or energy—it’s food. Our food system is not a free market. It is not capitalism in any recognizable form.
With Democrats pushing a number of progressive policies now that they are in control of Virginia, a Virginia state Democrat is working to ban immigration agents from operating at polling places. (snip) The move has left Republicans wondering why a Democrat would move to prevent immigration law enforcers near polling places if Democrats believe illegal aliens are not voting in Virginia elections.
A Virginia state judge on Tuesday blocked plans by the state's Democratic lawmakers to use a new map this year before November's midterm elections, objecting to the redistricting push on procedural grounds. (snip) State law requires a constitutional amendment to be passed in the state legislature twice, with an election intervening between the sessions, in order to go before voters. But Hurley ruled that the first passage of the amendment did not take place before the state's 2025 elections because early voting had already begun.
We’re a little over a month into an industry-wide conversation about the future of tech in California, which is largely taking place off social media. At this point, most people know the conversation was triggered by a ballot proposition floated by the state’s largest health care union that seeks to legalize a first-of-its-kind asset seizure targeting (for now) billionaires.
Over the last week, I spoke with 21 billionaires about the looming prospect of a wealth tax. We discussed whether they left or are planning to leave California (most of them are), what a wealth tax means for the technology industry, and finally how, if at all, they plan to fight back.
An unhinged Virginia nurse who encouraged medical professionals to drug ICE agents with paralytic meds was swiftly canned.
Malinda Cook, a nurse anesthetist at Virginia Commonwealth University Health, was fired by the hospital on Tuesday after she spewed the disturbing remarks in a spate of TikTok videos.
Cook, who was identified by local media, blasted out her so-called “sabotage” tactics as anti-ICE riots exploded across the country. “Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end,” the nurse said on one clip spreading on social media.

The FBI Director confirmed this week that his agency is investigating after independent journalist Cam Higby leaked what he described as encrypted chats from the Signal messaging app showing local groups coordinating efforts to track and obstruct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The chats show officers collecting license plate data, dispatching mobile patrols to search for ICE vehicles, and mobilizing crowds, according to Higby. The groups also provide ICE observer training, Higby explained.

Not a lesson plan. Not a textbook chapter. A tattoo on her teacher’s forearm – the mark the Nazis used after reducing a human being to inventory. It was dehumanization made literal: a person stripped of name and individuality, marked so she could be processed and, if necessary, identified after death. In January, two dates sit close together on the American calendar. Earlier this month, we commemorated the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the struggle for civil rights.

At the end of this month, the City of Coral Springs is scheduled to host the 2026 Florida Muslim Conference at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts, a government-owned, taxpayer-funded facility. The event is organized by the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF), an umbrella organization representing a network of radical South Florida Muslim institutions.
Despite growing concern, city officials have indicated they intend to proceed with the conference. However, the State of Florida has warned the city to stand down, citing SFMF’s deep and longstanding ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group recently designated a terrorist organization by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
With many videos and angles emerging, many are wondering if the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers was legally justified. Andrew Branca -- an attorney, author, and internationally recognized expert on self-defense -- joined Liz Collin on her podcast and explained some of the details that he included in his own viral video analysis of the incident. Branca explained that "fundamentally all the videos are pretty consistent consistent with each other and really nothing's inconsistent with this being a lawful use of force."
Enraged Palisades wildfire victims are slamming “Commiefornia” Democrats for dunking on President Trump’s executive order that would expedite the rebuilding process — and get them back home.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were ripped Tuesday for their lackluster efforts to get the devastated enclave get back on its feet — and for then having the gall to pooh-pooh Trump’s generous plan.
“Totally deflecting and not even sitting on the topic,” one Palisades resident fumed. “I don’t understand why the state would [oppose the aid], other than they want to oppose anything that this current administration does.”
The arrest of narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, the quarantine imposed on Venezuela’s oil industry and the collapse of the European Union’s “renewable energy” strategy all have raised a big question in the minds of many Americans: What role should foreign energy play in our policy efforts?

Radical leftist agitators ambushed a Los Angeles Police Commission meeting Tuesday, screaming obscenities at officers and accusing the department of being murderers — before viciously turning on a California Post journalist.
Around 40 agitators — many of them obscuring their identity with medical masks or keffiyeh scarves — chanted “F–k the police,” assailed officers as “pigs” and shouted anti-law enforcement slogans as their increasingly disruptive antics ground the proceedings to a halt until order was restored a short time later.

A Virginia circuit court judge has struck down a General Assembly-approved redistricting amendment, ruling lawmakers overstepped their authority during a 2024 special legislative session and violated constitutional requirements tied to elections and voter notice.
In a sweeping ruling issued Tuesday, Tazewell County Circuit Court Judge Jack S. Hurley Jr. invalidated actions taken to advance the proposed constitutional amendment, blocking it from moving forward and barring it from being submitted to voters.
The lawsuit focused on whether lawmakers could take up a redistricting-related constitutional amendment during a special session initially convened to address budget matters
