He also said he'd denaturalize foreign-born criminals. Trump is also calling for Kash Patel to fire all of the seditious FBI agents involved in the "Arctic Frost" prosecutions of Republicans for the crime of opposing the Democrat Party.
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during a speech in Detroit that his administration will cease federal payments to sanctuary cities and states starting next month amid pushback over his immigration policies. ... Trump made the declaration during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also claimed that the United States is at the beginning of an economic boom under his administration. "Starting Feb. 1, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," Trump said. "And it breeds fraud and crime and all the other problems that come. So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary."
President Trump is publicly demanding a housecleaning at the FBI, calling on Director Kash Patel to remove agents after reacting to a Just the News report detailing how a former senior bureau official helped push the Arctic Frost investigation targeting Trump, Republican organizations, and elected conservatives. In a Truth Social post responding to the article, Trump accused FBI personnel involved in the probe of abusing their authority and urged Patel to act immediately, framing the episode as another example of federal law enforcement being turned against political opponents under prior Democrat leadership. The Just the News report summarizes congressional materials and internal FBI communications related to Arctic Frost, an inquiry that began as a January 6--related investigation but later expanded well beyond the Capitol riot. According to the documents, the probe ultimately placed Trump himself -- along with major conservative groups and GOP officeholders -- under scrutiny, even as agents acknowledged internally that there was no direct evidence tying Trump to criminal conduct. Records released by Chuck Grassley identify then--FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault as a key figure in driving that expansion. Internal emails show Thibault circulating left-leaning media articles, opinion pieces, and podcasts to colleagues as justification for escalating the probe, while privately conceding the evidentiary basis involving Trump was weak. ... Emails reviewed by lawmakers show Thibault pressing colleagues to include "DJT" in Arctic Frost's launch paperwork and encouraging the use of open-source material and human intelligence to justify the probe after the fact. ... The scope of Arctic Frost extended beyond Trump. Congressional materials cited in the reporting show the probe widened to include major conservative institutions, including the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk. Patel has since confirmed that his internal review uncovered extensive surveillance and data collection involving elected officials -- eight Republican senators and one congressman -- with records stored in a restricted FBI cyber vault requiring top-level authorization. Patel testified that he located the materials, terminated agents involved, and dismantled CR-15, the Washington Field Office's public corruption unit, which he described as the center of politically motivated misconduct within the bureau.

🚨 BREAKING: Attorney EXPERTLY PUMMELS SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson's argument in favor of men in women's sports in the name of "transgender rights" JACKSON: "But they are being prevented from playing on the team that matches their gender identity, correct?!" ATTORNEY: "That's the effect...so let me use your example from earlier. You said there's a cisgender woman, she can play on the team she wants." "There's a boy who identifies as a girl, he can't play on the team he wants." "Take that same boy and switch his gender identity, but say he still wanted to play on the girls' team. Say he was a very unathletic boy. He likewise COULD NOT play on the team." "So it's NOT the gender identity that's keeping him off the girls' team, it's his biological s*x. His gender identity is wholly irrelevant to it."

Steve Bannon went to jail for refusing to show up for testimony.
Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning. Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House's bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday. Comer said Tuesday morning, "We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee ... to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress." "I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it's important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee," Comer told reporters after formally ending the deposition. "No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that's why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton." He said "not a single Democrat" showed up to the deposition on Tuesday. ... Hillary Clinton had also been subpoenaed to appear on Wednesday but likely will not show up. The Clintons' attorney sent Comer a letter confirming they're challenging the legality of the subpoenas issued against them. "[T]he Subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute," reads the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital. ... "Your continued insistence that the former President and Secretary of State can be compelled to appear before the Committee under these circumstances, however, brings us toward a protracted and unnecessary legal confrontation that distracts from the principal work of the Congress with respect to this matter, which, if conducted sincerely, could help ensure the victims of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are afforded some measure of justice for the crimes perpetrated against them, however late. But perhaps distraction is the point."

Search their bags on their way out:
Trump administration ends temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in US Several thousand Somali nationals currently living in the US must leave the country by March 17 FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection. Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17. "Temporary means temporary," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirement for Temporary Protected Status." "Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests," Noem added. "We are putting Americans first."
Update: They'll even skim the money they give to you to bribe a juror.

@nettermike BREAKING: TSA data reveal nearly $700 million in declared US cash flagged in luggage by Somali couriers departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and yet the Biden The White House told TSA to stand down. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Administration (TSA) flagged approximately $692 million ($342.4 million in 2024 and $349.4 million in 2025) in declared U.S. currency detected in passengers' luggage departing from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)--roughly $1 million per day over the two years--John Solomon, the editor-in-chief of Just the News reports. The investigative reports state that most of these cash transports were carried by Somali-American couriers on flights to Somalia or other Middle Eastern destinations. The cash was legally declared (as required for amounts over $10,000 under U.S. law), so no immediate seizures or arrests occurred at the airport. However, federal authorities are now probing these movements as potentially linked to money laundering and the export of proceeds from large-scale fraud schemes in Minnesota. Federal investigators suspect fraud proceeds were converted to cash and exported via couriers (often using informal hawala networks common in Somali culture for remittances). Some probes have allegedly linked funds to regions in Somalia controlled by al-Shabaab (a terrorist group). Source: The Tennessee Star

I mentioned this on Friday but it's getting more notice now.
Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are being squandered on waste, fraud, and abuse each year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shockingly claimed in a recent interview. Somewhere between 5-10% of the total federal budget gets gobbled up by wrongdoers each year, Bessent said, citing data from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). "If we can narrow that number, President Trump asked for a $500 billion increase in the defense budget to fortify the 10 to 20 years of neglect," Bessent told journalist Christopher Rufo in a recent interview. "If we need to flex up our military budget, if we can get rid of this waste, fraud, and abuse, we can finance a safer, sounder US with that, without taking on more debt. Sounds like a pretty good outcome to me." A GAO analysis found that between $233 billion and $521 billion was lost annually due to fraud during fiscal years 2018 through 2022. Since fiscal year 2003, improper payments -- separate from fraud -- have likely cost taxpayers about $2.8 trillion, the GAO also found.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to Minnesota -- and in another bit of insurrection, Tim Walz refused to provide security for the visiting Secretary. Bessent says Walz knows what's coming:
I hope that means an arrest is coming, and in fact I do take him as implying that.
When Bessent came for this roundtable discussion, Gov. Tim Walz reportedly didn't guarantee security at the state capitol, which led to Bessent delivering this haymaker:"He's not gonna be able to hide," he said. "We will get there."
Tim Walz is a coward. He is a coward. He would not guarantee that the Treasury Secretary would have protection in the Minnesota State Capitol. He's afraid of what is coming.

He's gone to the great Corporate Meeting in the sky.
In more recent years, he became a prolific presence through his books, on social media, through his livestreamed podcasts seven days a week, offering real-time commentary on news and media narratives. In 2023, newspapers across the United States and abroad dropped Dilbert from syndication, ending a run that had lasted more than three decades, after comments Adams made on his podcast were taken out of context to allege that he was racist. He would later describe this encounter with cancel culture as one of the more liberating moments of his life. While he lost access to longtime readers of his comic strip in newspapers, he gained a huge following among conservatives, who saw the mercilessness of cancel culture at play with him. Still, he continued to publish Dilbert online. As a podcaster, he started every livestream with his patented "Simultaneous sip," where he would invite everyone watching and listening to join him in "sipping your favorite beverage. I like coffee." From there he would do a one-man monologue, usually for an hour, on the topics of the day, scientific and technology news, and anything else that interested him. He rarely interviewed guests, and did not play audio or video from other media. He typically would just describe it in low-tech fashion. But because it was a livestream, he would continually interact directly with his audience in real time, monitoring and reading listener comments. So even though his was the only voice you heard, it felt as if he was having a conversation with his audience. While Adams resisted calling himself a conservative, his point of view most often reflected the Donald Trump base, though at times, he would challenge that base on some issues. In late 2025, Adams disclosed that he had earlier been diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer, and while he continued to undergo a multitude of aggressive treatments under his doctors' supervision, he continued to appear on his podcast seven days a week, for the most part, right up until yesterday.

Iranian demonstrators set mosques ablaze during heated protests against the country’s Islamic government, according to local video and reports this weekend. Protesters in Iran have set numerous fires since the riots broke out Dec. 28, with Tehran’s fire department claiming as many as 34 mosques were burned, according to multiple outlets. One video verified by NBC News showed a crowd cheering Friday night while a Tehran mosque became engulfed in flames. (RELATED: ‘Death To America’ Radical Complains She Got Detained By Customs After Iran Trip) The mass uprising reportedly began in response to economic woes but follows months of instances of women shedding their mandatory headwear in a statement against the country’s forced Islamic norms. Another video posted by Reuters showed a mob vandalizing the Abuzar Mosque in Tehran on Thursday, scattering furniture and laying incendiary devices. The Iranian regime has massacred hundreds while clamping down on the disorder, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists in Iran reports, according to The New York Post. President Donald Trump on Jan. 2 hinted at possible military action if Iran kills protesters, leading to a social media duel with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the following days that involved the ayatollah posting an image of Trump in a coffin. Trump previously bombed multiple Iranian nuclear facilities amid conflict with Israel, marking the most overt U.S. military operation against the regime in years.
So, okay, why do I find this interesting and telling? Considering that Iran is a majority Muslim nation and that its government since 1979 has been a Muslim theocracy based on the strict tenets of Sharia law, that mosques are being torched by the protesters at the very least underscores a disaffection with the aforementioned. And admittedly, here is where I might be stretching things but nevertheless I am going to formulate a bit of an hypothesis and make an assumption. Remember that the self-styled cognoscenti, elite and thought leaders have unceasingly been hocking a tchainik over our heads here in America and the west that Islam is a religion of peace and to dare even question that would be Islamophobic, bigoted and racist, etc. etc. ad nauseam. Well then if that is the case then how to explain the Iranian Muslim "street" rising up and torching their own houses of worship if the shibboleths about Islam and Sharia as paragons of peace and moral order are as we have been forced to accept under pain of being labeled a racist xenophobe Islamophobe for defiance of that. I'm sure the usual excuses will be given that just like the true believers who took down the World Trade Center were "extremists" who bastardized the true meaning of Islam or were Israeli Mossad agents or even Americans sent in by President Trump or both if you're Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. But that of course is nonsense. So, here's my take. It tells me that the Persian/Iranian people have taken to the streets not merely to replace the Muallhs with other Mullahs. They recognize it's the entire system that is corrupt, inept, destructive and lethal to their thriving as a functioning and advancing society. Prior to 1979, Iran was a modern, flourishing and western-oriented (politically and culturally) nation. And that is still within living memory of many Iranians and it is something that the younger generations are desperate to return to. Here's where maybe I'm stretching things a bit and quite possibly wish-casting — Look at Iran's history prior to 1979, the excesses of the Shah and Mossadegh notwithstanding, ask any average Iranian expat and they'll tell you that life under them was paradise compared to what Khomeini and his successors wrought. Now look at present day Turkey through that lens. A secular, modern, society thanks to Kemal Ataturk and turned into an Islamic thugocracy through the tyrannical rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP since 2002. Could what's happening in Iran spread to Turkey? On the down side, you'll recall the 2011 "Arab Spring" demonstrations that led to the downfall of a number of Arab Islamic governments primarily in North Africa but instead of resulting in the rise of small "D" democratic forces led to the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood in the region and its malign influence in the ensuing years. Lest we forget that Afghanistan at one time was also a fairly modern society until the coming of the Taliban and then of course the Soviet Invasion and later our insane Democracy Project in the wake of 9/11 and Gulf War 2. Result, over 3,000 American soldiers dead, Taliban still there and weaponized courtesy of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants snap bug-out of 2020 with untold numbers of Afghani jihadists here in our country given political asylum.
In any case, the Cliff Notes version of the above is, I suppose, I'm wondering can Islam reform itself? That is is what we are witnessing in Iran a scintilla of hope that we are not doomed for all time to face an existential threat from the followers of Mohammed Then again, the bitter irony is that as Teheran and Istanbul duke it out over which one gets to be the capital of a global caliphate, or perhaps both turning a new leaf and experiencing an enlightenment and rebirth as paragons of western civilization, Europe and the West become the axis upon which a reenergized and even more virulent Islam rotates. When the #1 baby name in England and other nations is Mohammed, the future doesn't look so bright. And while mosques may be burning in Iran, Yet another synagogue went up in flames. This time in of all places Jackson, Mississippi:
Federal prosecutors say the man accused of torching Mississippi’s oldest and largest synagogue admitted he selected the building because of its connection to Judaism. Authorities arrested a suspect, Stephen Spencer Pittman, Saturday night. Investigators said an intentionally set fire gutted Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Miss. Federal prosecutors said Monday that the man charged with torching the synagogue admitted he targeted the building because of its “Jewish ties,” after police arrested him at a hospital where he was treated for burn injuries from the early-morning fire, according to The New York Times. Investigators identified Pittman after his father contacted the FBI and reported that his son had confessed to starting the fire, according to an affidavit filed in federal court Monday. Location data from a tracking app running on Pittman’s cellphone reinforced that account, showing him leaving his home in a Jackson suburb, stopping at a gas station to buy fuel, and then driving directly to the synagogue. . . Prior to this incident, another high-profile attack targeted a synagogue in Manchester, England, where a man killed two people outside the building, highlighting broader security concerns surrounding Jewish houses of worship. The suspect, Jihad al-Shamie, was reportedly free on bail at the time of the synagogue attack after previously facing an alleged rape charge.
Synagogues are connected to Judaism? Wow, I'm shocked. Maybe he should've targeted the Weather Channel for a twofer, after all Jews control the weather and the media, nein? In all seriousness, where did this bastard get the notion to torch a synagogue and attack Jews? Meh, where did the now deceased Renee Good get it in her head to use her SUV to try and ram ICE agents? In the immortal lyrics of Rodgers and Hammerstein You've Got To Be Carefully Taught And mostly in Pittsburgh by Yinzer psychopaths Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Over the last two months Windows 11 has fallen from 53.7% of the PC market to a very slim majority at 50.7%, with Windows 10 growing from 42.7% to 44.7%, and most of the remainder going to Windows 7, which came out all the way back in 2009.

Sure, that Chinese missile strike on Los Angeles might put you in a bit of a pickle, or the massive earthquake that shakes half the mountain down on your head will probably cut into your clubbing that night, but for most days? Appropriate footwear, appropriate clothing, water and a bit of food, and a good map in case your phone dies. Personally, I like being armed, but in California that might get you arrested. Oh...you might want to check the weather report too!

Pro-Terrorism, Pro-Antifa AG Announces Lawsuit to Stop the "INVASION" of Minnesota by the Federal Government
A New Nick Shirley Video Shows Grift That Is 'Ten Times Worse' and Will Cause 'World War III'
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday -- is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam. In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero companies. I think that sentence was glitched.Preview of the video at the link. Minnesota is launching a lawsuit to stop the "invasion" of Minnesota by... the government of the United States of America.
"What I believe is the core of all this is this non-emergency medical transportation. A search showed that Minnesota recognizes 1,020 NEMT [Non-Emergency Medical Transport] companies. Almost 900 of them are Somali-owned," he told Bessent. Hoch went on, "In the second video, Nick Shirley and I went to 16 of them -- I've actually been to about 70 of them." At this point, he held up his papers and leaned forward to Bessent to emphasize, "THEY DON'T EXIST."
They visited the NEMT companies to find the addresses went to places with "no vehicles." Fronts included, "an apartment building. One of them is a liquor store. Another one is a wire transfer. Another one is totally unrelated -- it's a grocery store. There are no vehicles." He said, "The vast majority of these companies exist on paper only. They are not real." He said that the average NEMT company in the United States has about "20 vehicles and each vehicle generates about $70,000 a year." He said that if you run those numbers, "800 companies, 20 vehicles, $70,000 a year? It's an enormous sum of money that's going out."

I don't know if this is true or not. Karoline Leavitt retweeted this story telling people:
"Stop what you're doing and read this!"
The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, "bleeding through the nose" and vomiting blood, during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary. ... Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared -- "barely eight," by his count -- deploying what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area. But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns. "They were technologically very advanced," the guard recalled. "They didn't look like anything we've fought against before." What ensued, he said, was not a battle but a slaughter. "We were hundreds, but we had no chance," he said. "They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute."Well they are among the best-trained shooters in history. And they carry some really good guns. I have a video linked below about that.
Then came the weapon that still haunts him. "At one point, they launched something; I don't know how to describe it," he said. "It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside." The effects were immediate and horrific. "We all started bleeding from the nose," he said. "Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon -- or whatever it was." The White House did not immediately respond to a question regarding whether Karoline Leavitt's sharing of the post -- captioned, "Stop what you are doing and read this..." -- indicated the administration was verifying the veracity of the eyewitness account. ... The outmatched defenders were helpless as the small US unit wiped them out, the guard said. "Those 20 men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us," he claimed. "We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it." The military has had directed energy weapons -- which neutralize targets using focused energy such as microwaves or laser beams -- for years, but this could be the first time it's been used in combat by the US, an ex-US intelligence source told The Post. China reportedly used a microwave weapon in 2020 against Indian soldiers during a border dispute in Ladakh.This sounds like it might be more powerful variant of the directed energy weapon that Russia is using against US diplomats -- so I'm glad that a bunch of Cuban mercenaries got hit with it.

Violent Leftwing Sissyboys Get Knocked TF Out
Gee, why would it take a lawsuit to force this?
Oregon election officials are set to begin removing hundreds of thousands of inactive voters from the state's registration rolls, a move that comes after years of inaction, mounting public pressure, and lawsuits filed against the state in recent months. Oregon's Democratic Secretary of State Tobias Read, in a press release Friday, outlined two new directives he said will "restart" the "routine cleanup of outdated, inactive voter registration records" in accordance with state law to address the roughly 800,000 inactive voter records that are being maintained by election officials. The first directive orders counties to immediately cancel long-inactive voter registrations that already met the legal requirements for removal before 2017. These are registrations where election mail was returned as undeliverable, voters failed to respond to official notices, and they did not participate in multiple federal elections. State officials estimate roughly 160,000 registrations fall into this category and should have been removed years ago. The second directive changes how the state handles inactive voters going forward. It updates the language on voter confirmation cards to clearly warn voters that their registrations will be canceled if they do not respond or vote within the required time frame. State officials say this step restores a process that allows routine cleanup of inactive registrations under federal law. Together, the directives are designed to address a backlog of inactive records and restart regular voter-roll maintenance after Oregon paused removals in 2017. "These directives are about cleaning up old data that's no longer in use so Oregonians can be confident that our voter records are up-to-date," Read said. "From day one, our goal was clear: run elections that are secure, fair, and accurate. This move will strengthen our voter rolls and reinforce public trust in our elections." State officials acknowledge there are about 800,000 inactive registrations total, roughly 20% of Oregon's voter rolls, though they stress multiple times in the press release that inactive voters do not currently receive ballots, saying at one point, "again, none of the individuals associated with these records will receive ballots, and these inactive records have no impact on Oregon elections."Bullshit!

I have no idea if this is true. People are claiming it on twitter.
The story goes that, as TheJamesMadison speculated last week, Walz is now a target of the federal fraud investigation. Further, it's claimed that Nick Shirley is dropping a "Part 2" to his fraud investigation and that will be damning to Walz. But... didn't Shirely already drop a Part 2? I already posted him talking with an investigator revealing that Walz threatened that he would fire any whistleblowers for cause and make sure they never got another government job again, and could not even receive unemployment insurance after their firing. Is this a Part 2 to that video? I dunno. The claims say that he will either resign this week or next week, depending on who's doing the claiming.Carter Hughes
@itscarterhughes Jan 10 🚨 BOMBSHELL: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is set to resign within the next week, according to multiple reports from within the Walz campaign. This comes after he was referred for a criminal indictment over massive Somali fraud within the state.

He told Congress that he was only spending billions on remodeling the Fed for strictly functional upgrades, like "waterprooofing" the building.
He denied spending billions just to make it a "Taj Mahal" of the Deep State, as Julie Kelly puts it. The current bill is over $2.5 billion, with $700 million of that overspending not originally budgeted for. Powell, who oversees the nation's currency, says "Whoops!"Julie Kelly
@julie_kelly2 18h This is how it's done: NYT tonight confirmed DOJ investigation into Fed Reserve chairman Jerome Powell. "The inquiry, which includes an analysis of Mr. Powell's public statements and an examination of spending records, was approved in November by Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of President Trump. It is not clear whether Ms. Pirro has convened a grand jury or issued subpoenas. But prosecutors in her office have contacted Mr. Powell's staff multiple times to request documents about the renovation project, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation who discussed an open inquiry on the condition of anonymity." The renovation project is a whopping $700 million over budget. "A 2021 version of the Fed's proposal described private elevators and dining rooms for top policymakers, water fountains and new marble features, in addition to a rooftop terrace for staff. Pressed at a congressional hearing in June, Mr. Powell denied that many of those features were part of the latest proposal." Good stuff. More please.
