— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,
49% Of Americans Back Trump’s Decision To Arrest Venezuelan Dictator Maduro: replies

Do Americans support President Donald Trump’s decision to seize Venezuela’s leftist dictator Nicolas Maduro, despite a still-raging controversy in the mainstream media over the legality of the arrest? The answer is mostly yes, with some reservations, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The national online poll of 1,478 adults was taken from Jan. 6 to Jan. 9, mere days after Maduro’s Jan. 3 arrest by the U.S. military on charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and possession of illegal weapons. The poll has a +/-2.9 percentage point margin of error. Specifically, I&I/TIPP asked Americans: “Do you approve or disapprove of the United States’ military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro?”

Assuming his intention was to mark the first anniversary of his return to the White House, President Trump couldn’t have picked a more suitable time or event to launch the Board of Peace for Gaza. His decision to hold the launch Thursday at a Davos gathering of world leaders highlights Trump’s role in trying to stop the war between Israel and Hamas and start the massive rebuilding of Gaza. It also reflects his unprecedented global footprint and illustrates once again that he is an American president like no other.

In the face of surging antisemitism across New York state — fueled by incessant illegal demonstrations in support of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah — Attorney General Letitia James jumped into the fray to prosecute … Jews. James’ office announced last week that she’s concluded an agreement with Betar — a small and obscure Zionist group that advocates for Jewish safety and self-determination — forcing it to cease operations in New York. The AG says Betar engaged in a “campaign of violence, harassment, and intimidation against Arab, Muslim, and Jewish New Yorkers.”

In these dull, dank days of January, it’s hard to find any good news in the UK. So it is with great joy that I can report some truly excellent news: Dr Sarah Myhill has again defeated the General Medical Council (GMC) in a court action. My good friend and colleague Dr Sarah Myhill is a truly outstanding doctor, who has devoted the last 40 years to putting patients’ wellbeing first. ‘But don’t all doctors put their patients’ wellbeing first?’ I hear you asking. Well sadly not, which is precisely why she is the most prosecuted doctor in the history of the GMC. They keep trying;

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had a warning for the Racial Justice Network and BLM activists who terrorized a St. Paul, MN congregation on Sunday: "There will be mugshots." As RedState and our sister site Townhall reported, these so-called social justice warriors stormed into the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the middle of their worship service, on the premise that one of the church's pastors was associated with ICE. My colleague Nick Arama revealed that former CNN anchor Don Lemon decided to join the terrorists to livestream the protest, because "journalism."

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,

The EU sanctions have resulted in grotesque consequences for both men. Their bank accounts in the EU have been frozen. They cannot use their credit cards. They have no right to enter EU countries. Baud is subsisting on the food stored in his house in Belgium.... According to one report, "[h]is ability to travel inside the EU was revoked. He cannot even return to his own country." The French government, which sanctioned both men while providing no proof of guilt or affording them due process, has asked that the sanctions be extended to all EU member countries.
Stop the Bleeding: Fraud, Tariffs, and
the $1.8 Trillion Deficit

The U.S. federal government finished Fiscal Year 2025 with about $7 trillion in outlays and just over $5 trillion in revenues, leaving a deficit of roughly $1.8 trillion -- a gap that adds to the exploding national debt and threatens economic stability. Under current trajectories, deficits are projected to remain near this scale for the foreseeable future, absent dramatic policy changes. What if, as some argue, the solution is staring us in the face: eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse across government programs and pair that with stronger tariff revenues? Could that alone balance the budget without cutting core programs or raising taxes? Is this wishful thinking or a real possibility?

Thousands of Iranians working for the biggest names in tech are calling for an end to the Islamic regime as ongoing bloodshed facing anti-government protesters in the country has become a flashpoint in the US. A petition signed by founders, engineers and scientists working everywhere from Google and Meta to Amazon and Tesla had gathered 3,400 signatures, according to a post this week by tech founder and CEO Kooshiar Azimian. Thousands of Iranians working for the biggest names in tech are calling for an end to the Islamic regime.

Here’s The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Of The White House Health Plan

On Thursday, the White House released its self-described “Great Health Care Plan” (emphasis in the original). The plan — all 359 words of it (yes, I counted) — contains some good policies and some not-so-good ones. Most notably, however, it eschews any reference to the enhanced Covid subsidies that the administration was reportedly going to embrace just before Thanksgiving. That in itself should relieve conservatives, but it doesn’t mean the plan’s other components don’t deserve scrutiny of their policy merits, or lack thereof.
