European leaders worked themselves up into full-blown hysteria before President Trump spoke to the World Economic Forum this week with wild claims that Trump planned a U.S. invasion of Greenland that would destroy the NATO alliance and the rules-based international order. A couple of dozen European troops were hurriedly sent to Greenland. French President Macron called for an emergency G7 summit. European leaders also discussed implementing a “bazooka” trade retaliation against the United States. But when Trump spoke at the Davos Summit on Wednesday, these hair-on-fire claims melted away in the face of his masterful speech, which laid out in depth his successful record of promoting global security and ending wars.

TikTok has finalized a deal to create a new American entity, avoiding the looming threat of a ban in the United States that has been in discussion for years on the platform now used by more than 200 million Americans. The social video platform company signed agreements with major investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and the Emirati investment firm MGX to form the new TikTok U.S. joint venture. The new version will operate under “defined safeguards that protect national security through comprehensive data protections, algorithm security, content moderation and software assurances for U.S. users,” the company said in a statement Thursday. American TikTok users can continue using the same app.

Pro-Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil — who the Trump administration has accused of being pro-Hamas — is going to have to make the North African country of Algeria his new home, the Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday.The move comes after an appellate court decision cleared the way for the Syrian-born activists’ removal.Mahmoud was a key Columbia University activist and “student negotiator” in the violent protests that took over Columbia and swept over many of our nation’s institutions of higher education following the savage Hamas Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel.

The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, a long-standing federal initiative to support small businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged” individuals, has come under intense scrutiny. On Jan. 16, 2026, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a major crackdown on the program's use in Pentagon contracting. He described it as "the oldest DEI program in the federal government" and vowed to take a "sledgehammer" to it, citing concerns over waste, fraud, and deviation from merit-based principles.

A financial group chief executive is accused of running the largest Ponzi scheme in Georgia’s history to fund a lavish lifestyle, which included purchasing a yacht, a multi-million-dollar condo in Mexico, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and chartering private jets. Todd Burkhalter, the CEO of Drive Planning LLC., pleaded guilty to defrauding over 2,000 victims for more than $380 million between September 2020 and June 2024, according to US Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg on Wednesday. “Unbelievably, Burkhalter shamelessly continued to scam his victims even while under federal investigation,” Hertzberg said. “Today’s guilty plea is just the first step in holding Burkhalter accountable for the considerable harm he caused.”

President Trump unveiled his Board of Peace charter that created “peace in the Middle East” and vowed to end more wars during a ceremony in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday. Trump was the first to sign the charter alongside the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Court of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita after he described the ceremony as a “very exciting day.” “We have Peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,” Trump said. “We settled eight wars and another is coming as well, you know what that is,” Trump said, teasing the ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

— 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,

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;
