A harrowing eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard who was on the ground when Operation Absolute Resolve hit — the mission to nab illegitimate then-president Nicolás Maduro — describes an unknown sonic weapon used by the U.S. against his security forces. According to the guard, the sonic blast caused them to experience headaches, disorientation, and vomiting of blood as they were completely incapacitated. But is this report true? Did we unleash some heretofore unknown powerful weapon that literally floored much of the enemy before any shots were even fired? In a Saturday social media post, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt seemed to imply that the answer was “yes.”

It's been a certainty for quite some time that many of the "protestors" tearing up the streets in Minneapolis and Portland, just to name a couple of (leftist) cities, were being paid to be there. Shadowy figures behind the scenes, who may or may not be named Soros, are funneling cash and strangely professional-looking signs into these riots. Ever notice how fast those strangely specific, professionally printed signs turn up? That can't be cheap. There is also a guy who organizes protests-for-hire on the up and up. Every cat its own rat and all that, you know. His name is Adam Swart,

Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned. Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move. British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance of the US economy before the mid-term elections

The United Arab Emirates has removed British universities from its generous foreign study funding programme, reportedly over fears its young people could be influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood on radicalised UK campuses. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said “Decent Muslim countries cannot believe how weak the UK is on extremism” as it was claimed the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was blocking its young people from going to university in Britain over extremism fears. The Financial Times states the UAE revised its approved list of foreign universities where young Emirates could take advantage of their government’s well-funded grant scheme,

Finally, someone said it. And by “someone,” I mean the guy with a brain worm who planted a dead bear in Central Park. In case you missed it, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just announced new dietary guidelines promoting whole foods, proteins and healthy fats. As a frequent critic of Kennedy’s behavior and anti-vaccination policies, I’m surprised to say this, but … well, you’ve got to hand it to Bobby on this one. “Protein and healthy fats are essential and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines,” Kennedy said during a press conference on Wednesday. “The new framework centers on protein and healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

Yes, I'm back writing, and just in time for a bomb to go off in the middle of the controversy surrounding an ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis. New cellphone footage taken by the officer who fired the shots provides the best look yet at what happened, and it counters much of the narrative spreading in the mainstream press and on the broader left that this was an unjustified "murder." As RedState reported, a woman was shot and killed after she drove her SUV into the middle of the agents in an attempt to impede an immigration raid. After ignoring orders for three minutes, she was commanded to stop.

You all, this Minneapolis story just keeps getting crazier and crazier. As RedState's Bonchie (yes, he's back!) reported Friday afternoon, a blockbuster new video has emerged showing the view of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in the Wednesday shooting death of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis resident who's been revealed to have been a rabid leftist activist and meddler. The video is both a jaw-dropper and a game-changer. Despite attempts by the left to portray Good as a mom who had just dropped her child off at school when she unwittingly became caught in the snares of an ICE operation – Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA)

The former brother-in-law of a mother shot dead by an ICE agent during immigration operations in Minneapolis has argued she 'should have minded her own business'. Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot in the head while inside her SUV on Wednesday, sparking mass protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers. President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security have defended the agent at the center of the violence, arguing he feared for his life because Good appeared to be accelerating her car in his direction. Now, Good's former brother-in-law Joseph Macklin has weighed in on the tragedy, telling the Daily Mail on Wednesday night

In an exclusive to the New York Post’s Alexandra Steigrad ahead of public release by CBS News PR, Nielsen ratings for Monday’s debut of the CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil came in and, try as the liberal haters tried to spin it, they were solid with Dokoupil notching 4.4 million total viewers, up a half million people than average. “That’s half-a-million more sets of eyeballs on average than what the broadcast had been getting under previous co-anchors John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois, who helmed the ratings-challenged show for roughly one year,” Steigrad wrote.

Today I attended a lunch sponsored by the Economic Club of Minnesota, at which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke. Bessent’s presentation was impressive, not because he is a spellbinder, but because he is a data guy, and the data are remarkably strong. GDP is up, the deficit is down. Inflation is under control. 2026 promises to be a terrific year, driven in part by tax refunds resulting from the Big Beautiful Bill: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and so on. The “experts” have been proven wrong. And there was much more. This is from InstaPundit:

President Donald Trump said Thursday the United States will expand operations against drug cartels while touting his takedown of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro during an interview on "Hannity." "We've knocked out 97 percent of the drugs coming in by water, and we are going to start now hitting land," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "The cartels are running Mexico, it’s very sad to watch, and see what’s happened to that country." "They’re killing 250,000, 300,000 in our country every single year." The appearance marked the president’s first sit-down interview since Maduro’s capture. Trump praised the U.S. military personnel involved in the Venezuelan operations,

Áltica Research, a market and public opinion research firm, just released a poll on Donald Trump's popularity numbers... in Latin America. The polling was conducted on January 3 and 4, after the capture of Nicolás Maduro. This will probably come as no surprise to those of us in the U.S. who realize the good the president is doing for our entire world by taking down Maduro and his regime and restoring Venezuela to peace and sanity, but, as it turns out, the folks south of our border like what our president is doing too. Most of them anyway...
