Trump: "I Don't Think We Need" Antisemites in the GOP
Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens hardest hit.
Or are they? Carlson and Owens barely pretend to be Trump supporters, and Nick Fuentes urged his "Groyper" followers to vote for Kamala Harris. "Grandma Groyper" Megyn Kelly, meanwhile, just supports whatever position she thinks is hot with the TikTok generation this week.President Trump had a resounding no for any antisemites claiming to be part of the Republican Party or his MAGA movement. "I think we don't need them," he told The New York Times in an interview. "I think we don't like them." His comments, made in a Wednesday interview but published on Sunday, came after a series of high profile ultra-conservative figures have made controversial comments about the Jewish people and antisemitic speech has split Republicans. Trump said: "I condemn" antisemitism. He said he's an ally of Israel and was awarded its Israel Prize, considered the country's highest honor. ... "My daughter happens to be Jewish, beautiful, three grandchildren are Jewish," he said. "I'm very proud of them. I'm very proud of the whole, that whole family. I am the least antisemitic person probably there is anywhere in the world." But the Republican Party has been roiled by series controversies that have garnered wide-spread public attention. A group of young Republican leaders, in the fall, were revealed to praise Adolf Hitler in a series of chat groups. And the Heritage Foundation, a premier conservative think tank in Washington DC, was roiled by a staff outcry after President Kevin Roberts defended a far-right figure who made anti-semitic remarks. Roberts sparked the wave of resignations among the think tank after defending Tucker Carlson for interviewing Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his platform.

New Nick Shirley Video: Somali Pirates Are Defrauding Us for Hundreds of Millions of Dollars by Running Fake Taxpayer-Funded Transporation Companies
Below, Somali "businesses" paid by the taxpayer to supposedly ferry sick people to doctors turn out to have no vehicles and no parking lots. In one case, they found a bunch of vehicles -- which you paid for -- but those vehicles haven't been moved for six months. They find no signs of legitimate taxi services, but they do find a lot of Somali thugs physically menacing them.
Nick Shirley digs deeper: the taxi scam propping up welfare fraud In his latest on-the-ground video, conservative journalist Nick Shirley turns his attention squarely to taxpayer-funded taxi operations in Minneapolis, zeroing in on Somali-run transportation companies paid through Medicaid to ferry low-income and medically vulnerable residents to appointments, government offices, and essential services. This time, Shirley documents visits to multiple listed business addresses that are supposed to be operating taxi services. What he finds instead are empty or questionable locations and angry confrontations--plenty of shouting, but no paperwork, schedules, vehicles, or proof that legitimate transportation services are actually being provided to Minnesotans footing the bill. "These transportation companies are what hold all the aid and welfare fraud together," Shirley says in the video, arguing that the taxi operations act as the connective tissue linking fraudulent daycare centers, adult care programs, and healthcare providers. According to Shirley, the coordination between these entities creates the appearance of legitimate services while enabling mass billing of Medicaid. His colleague David Hoch puts it more bluntly: "We're shining the light on the fraud, and they have no defense." The taxi focus has also prompted new firsthand accounts from locals. In one TikTok video now circulating widely, a former drug addict claims Somali taxi drivers paid him simply to sign ride receipts--documents later used to bill Medicaid--allowing drivers to collect taxpayer money for trips that never happened. As Shirley's taxi-focused investigation spread, Minnesota's political and media establishment began quietly conceding what watchdogs have warned about for years. The Minnesota Star Tribune acknowledged that non-emergency medical transportation--including taxi services--has long been vulnerable to fraud, citing industry insiders who say alarms have been ignored. Scott Isaacson, president of the Minnesota R-80 Transportation Coalition, told the paper that people working in the transportation sector have "been ringing the fraud bell for quite some time," pointing to repeated abuses baked into the system. State data underscores the scale. Minnesota Department of Human Services records show Medicaid transportation billings climbing from roughly $80 million in 2018 to more than $115 million by 2024, before dipping last year to about $88 million. The concerns aren't new. More than 15 years ago, Minnesota's Office of the Legislative Auditor warned that the state exercised "little statewide oversight" over medical transportation, including taxi services, allowing excessive mileage, unnecessary trips, and weak authorization controls.It's almost as if Democrats deliberately make it impossible to verify if these charges are real.
... Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking with conservative activist Christopher Rufo earlier this month, indicated investigators are deliberately building a sweeping fraud, kickback, and racketeering case tied to Minnesota's Democrat political apparatus. "My personal motto, and the Treasury motto, is move deliberately and fix things," Bessent said on the podcast. "You're not going to see headlines tomorrow. You're not going to see them next week, but in a month, or a quarter, once we get people in the bear trap, they're not getting out because we will have conclusive evidence to present." Bessent suggested prosecutors expect plea deals that force lower-level players to flip on those higher up the chain, allowing investigators to map how the system operated and who benefited. "I think that they will have to make plea deals ... to turn in higher-ups to help us map out how this happened," he said. And Minnesota, he added, is only the starting point. "We're going to take this Minnesota strategy map to the other 49 states."

The Morning Rant: This Is What We Voted For!
And the President has managed this in spite of a rabid 5th column in his own party that wants to keep the gravy train of never-ending cheap labor running for a little while longer. The real question is: How many people do we need in this country, and what kind of people should they be? That conventional paradigm says that even asking the question is vile and racist, and the asker should be banished to the nether reaches. But our country asked that question for a few hundred years, and we know the answer. In fact we have a wonderful template for immigration...it's called "America Before the 1965 Immigration Act!" But for the foreseeable future a negative migration rate is just the ticket. It will moderate housing costs, it will improve the employment opportunities for Americans, it will decrease our welfare and medical costs, it will decrease crime in America. So what is the downside? That's a serious question! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!
The United States experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in more than five decades as the Trump administration continues a sweeping crackdown on immigration. In a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution, the shift was driven by a combination of stepped-up immigration enforcement, removals of illegal immigrants, voluntary departures, but most significantly a sharp decline in new entries into the country over the past year.

The Morning Report — 1/15/26
Anyone who uses their car, a snow shovel, a molotov cocktail and even firearms against law enforcement deserves to be dealt with and should be met with lethal force. If we're going to target tyranny, instead of IRGC barracks and command and control installations, maybe the President should be targeting the DNC, the Soros HQ, Ford Foundation and so on and so on.
If you want to know why Charlie Kirk is dead and why ICE agents are under assault, I give you this radioactive subhuman cancerous fistula of a soulless zombie:
Any police officer or legitimate GOP poll watcher will become a target of Democrat-Party approved/planned/Fomented terrorism. I said it here first. I wasn't going to quote Murphy, the filthy scumbag, but evil must be stared in the face and confronted head on if we are to defeat it. And if the midterms do go our way, Even if we squeak out a win in just one race for dogcatcher somewhere, the Democrat terrorism will be off the charts. 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.
An illegal Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis after he allegedly fled during a traffic stop and beat the “ambushed” officer with a snow shovel Wednesday evening, the Department of Homeland Security said.Wait, The President is "baiting the protesters?" More accurately, they are not protesters but terrorists interfering with law enforcement doing its duty to protect the citizenry and arrest criminals, illegal aliens and criminal illegal aliens. The unmitigated chutzpocritical gall of Frey is off the charts as it is he and his ilk that have labeled the President as literally Hitler and ICE as the equivalent of the Gestapo.
The suspect was behind the wheel when he tried to get away from federal immigration officers at around 6:50 p.m. local time, but he crashed into a parked car, according to DHS.
The migrant then tried to escape on foot and “violently assault[ed] the officer” as the two wrestled on the ground, according to an X post from the agency. While the man continued to struggle with the officer, two other people emerged from a nearby apartment and allegedly mercilessly attacked the agent with a snow shovel and broom handle, the department said. In the chaos, the Venezuelan migrant was able to wriggle out of the officer’s hold and also allegedly started striking him “with a shovel or broom stick,” according to the post. The officer, “fearing for his life,” shot the Venezuelan man in the leg, DHS said.
The wounded migrant and the two alleged attackers then fled into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside, according to the agency. Federal agents were eventually able to get inside and apprehended all three individuals.
The officer and the injured suspect were both taken to a nearby hospital, and the two attackers were taken into custody, DHS said. . . KARE reported that federal agents swarmed around North Lyndale Avenue and 25th Avenue, which is near a 21-acre park, just before 8 p.m. local time.
A photographer with the outlet observed at least one ambulance leaving the area.
Angry protesters later swarmed the shooting scene and began hurling fireworks at police officers, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a late-night press briefing. Cops tossed tear gas canisters at the protesters in response.
“The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts,” O’Hara said.
“I urge anyone who is at the scene to leave immediately. This is already a very tense situation and we do not need this to escalate any further,” the chief added.
Mayor Jacob Frey also slammed the destructive protesters — claiming they were taking President Trump’s “bait.” . . . The shooting comes just one week after Renee Nicole Good, 37, was gunned down by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross after she allegedly tried to “weaponize” her vehicle against federal agents at a protest near her Minneapolis home.
Anyone who uses their car, a snow shovel, a molotov cocktail and even firearms against law enforcement deserves to be dealt with and should be met with lethal force.

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said chances were “high” that America could lose its democracy between now and next November. Murphy said, “I think that the president’s first just trying to make people stay home, trying to make ordinary citizens fear going out on the streets. But that doesn’t seem to be working, given the number of people that are turning out in these special elections, the number of people that are turning out for protests. So now, possibly he takes a look at the elections itself. Maybe he does try to take voting machines in a state where his candidate lost a close election. Maybe he goes in ahead of time and tries to use the military in order to take control of polling places. We’re going to have to, you know, have an army of lawyers unfortunately ready to be able to make sure that the Constitution is protected headed into this next election. We’ll be ready. The Supreme Court is probably going to have a role to play here. By and large, they have sided with this totalitarian takeover, but there will probably be a seminal case before the court between now and November where they’ll be asked, Can Trump federalize these elections, or can he not? That will be maybe one of the most dispositive moments as we try to make sure that he doesn’t, transparently rig the elections.” He added, “I do believe that this is the most serious threat to democracy since the Civil War. I think that we are at a 5050 moment right now. I think the chances are high that we could lose our democracy between now and next November. And so I want there to be a level of urgency out in America. I’m sometimes frustrated about the lack of urgency that some of my colleagues show, internally, about this moment. But I am actually optimistic because I have seen the American people refuse to be bullied into silence.”I pray every night and day that Chris Murphy's "DEMOCRACY" has a kryptonite stake driven into its black heart of darkness and goes straight to hell for all time. I want my constitutional Republic as founded restored! Projection ain't just a river in Egypt. You know the rigging is going to be massive next November and instead of ramming ICE agents, Sleeper cells of Renee Goods, shovel-wielding illegal aliens, Somalians and others are already being trained in how to interfere at polling stations or ballot counting/sorting locations as we saw in Wayne County Michigan on Election Night in 2020. Meh, you don't have to be Kreskin to have that brainwave.
Any police officer or legitimate GOP poll watcher will become a target of Democrat-Party approved/planned/Fomented terrorism. I said it here first.

Hytale is saved says Hypixel founder as the studio's dev costs for the next two years have already been covered by pre-orders. (January 2026)
If you're interested in that kind of game - similar to Minecraft but with RPG elements and modding support built in - it's available in early access right now on the company's website.
For $20. (Engadget)
Because, to quote the founder of Hypixel Sudios, "The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn't feel right. I don't think the game is good yet."
Honestly it seems to run pretty well, though I haven't spent much time in it. And I was running on a laptop with integrated graphics, so far from high-end hardware.

Quick Hits
Dr. Oz, head of Medicare and Medicaid, reports we're beingreipped off to the tune of billions:
DrOzCMSUS orders partial evacuation of military personnel at Qatar military base.
@DrOzCMS UPDATE: It's worse than we thought.
In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.
Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states.
It's against the law to spend federal Medicaid funds on non-emergency healthcare for illegals. If states use their own money to do it, there needs to be a clear paper trail proving that federal dollars didn’t fund those services.
These states failed to provide that for this $1.8 billion. So today, CMS is announcing that we're withholding nearly $300 million from California -- which is by far the worst offender -- until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly.
Medicaid dollars belong to Americans, not illegal immigrants, and we won’t stop until we’ve held rogue states accountable and recovered their misspent funds.
More announcements to come.
The United States military has ordered some personnel to evacuate the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar amid ongoing demonstrations in Iran and President Donald Trump's suggestion of possible military action, the Associated Press reported, citing "a U.S. official." Al Udeid previously came under Iranian fire in the wake of U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program last year. The scope of the evacuation remains unclear.Does that mean the strikes are coming? I don't know. Trump announced that he had it on "good authority" that Iran had stopped massacring its people, which sounds like a possible off-ramp to a strike.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was told by Iran that the killings of protesters will stop and that there are no plans for further executions. Iran has reportedly killed at least 2,000 anti-regime protesters so far as demonstrations engulf the Middle Eastern country. Some foreign leaders have predicted that Iran's regime is in its final days. Trump said his information was coming from "very important sources on the other side," and that executions, including one of an Iranian shopkeeper, are not expected to take place, despite a notice to the shopkeeper's family indicating otherwise. "We were told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and there's no plan for executions," Trump told reporters. "The killing has stopped. The executions have stopped. There's no plan for executions or an execution. I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it. I'm sure if it happens I'll be very upset."

Trump Stops the Issuance of Visas to Migrants from 75 Welfare-Sucking Countries
MXM:
Department of State
@StateDept The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates. The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people. The pause impacts dozens of countries -- including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea -- whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival. We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused.
President Trump's State Department moved Wednesday to halt immigrant visa processing from 75 countries after internal data showed migrants from those nations are entering the United States and enrolling in taxpayer-funded welfare programs at what officials described as unacceptable rates. The decision, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, places an immediate pause on visa approvals until the U.S. can verify that future immigrants will be financially self-sufficient rather than dependent on public assistance. In a formal statement, the United States Department of State said the freeze is intended to prevent additional strain on American taxpayers and ensure the country's immigration system no longer rewards welfare dependence, stressing that the administration's priority is protecting American workers and public resources. The pause affects dozens of countries identified by the department as consistently producing high numbers of migrants who become public charges shortly after arrival, including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea, with officials emphasizing that the policy will remain in place until safeguards are in place to stop what they view as systemic abuse of U.S. generosity.

The Islamist United Kingdom Bans Scalding Hot Commentator Eva Vlaadingerbroek From Entering the Country Even As It Welcomes a Radical Hamas-Supporting Muslim Hate Cultist
Queer Starmer has ended free speech in the UK.
Meanwhile, Queer Starmer is blocking an effort to outlaw first cousin-marriage in the UK -- which didn't previously need to be outlawed, because the actual British population long ago stopped doing it -- to appease his last bastion of diehard supporters, Muslim migrants.
Journalist and political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek says the UK government has revoked her authorization to travel to Britain, citing that her presence is "not considered to be conducive to the public good," a move she says followed days after she slammed Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his government's approach to online speech. Vlaardingerbroek shared an image of a notice from the UK government stating that her Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) had been cancelled effective January 13, 2026. The notice states that she may not travel to the UK without a visa and that the decision cannot be appealed. "Holy sh*t. I've been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA," Vlaardingerbroek wrote on X. Quoting the notice, she added, "Your presence in the UK is not considered to be [conducive] to the public good." In a follow-up, Vlaardingerbroek said, "No reason given. No right to appeal. Zero due process. Just an email saying the UK government deems me 'not conducive to the public good' - exactly three days after I criticized Keir Starmer. I guess my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven."
. In the UK, 4% of infant deaths are caused by birth defects stemming from first-cousin marriages--about three times the rate of deaths from substance abuse.Despite the obvious health issues associated with the practice, the National Health Service, as a sign of support for the Muslim community, published a report on the benefits of first-cousin marriages. I kid you not. The NHS has been urged to apologise for publishing an article extolling the benefits of first-cousin marriage despite the increased risk of birth defects. The article published last week by the NHS England's Genomics Education Programme says first-cousin marriage is linked to "stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages". But the practice has also been linked to oppression of women and also has a proven increased risk of genetic disease in offspring of first-cousin relationships. Richard Holden, the Tory MP, told the Mail On Sunday: "Our NHS should stop taking the knee to damaging and oppressive cultural practices. "The Conservatives want to see an end to cousin marriage as a backdoor to immigration too, but Labour are deaf to these sensible demands. "Sir Keir Starmer should stop running scared of the misogynistic community controllers and their quislings who appear in the form of cultural relativist-obsessed sociology professors, and ban a practice the overwhelming majority, from every community in Britain, want to see ended for good."Yes, you read that right. The NHS admits that first-cousin marriage is terrible for health, but should be praised because it is good for "extended family support and economic advantages." I guess that is why the British Muslim community is so culturally healthy. Can we get a similar explanation for why child marriage is good for the economic viability of the families who sell their daughters to wealthy men?
Linda Duberley
@LindaDuberley This is the last straw. I have seen first hand the catastrophic disabilities caused by first cousin marriage - on one occasion a young girl permanently fed by a nasal-gastric tube and unable even to use a wheelchair - one of two children with birth defects born to the same mother. @Keir_Starmer should be ashamed of himself that he would rather allow this terrible situation to continue than challenge those Labour MPs of whom he is afraid
Christine Hardman
@Christi44330266 Jan 12 Absolutely. He should visit some of the paediatric palliative care homes for these children. They are heartbreaking. Setting aside the funds needed. The children have problems beyond the imaginable. I have a friend who worked for the social services transport services taking disabled children to 'school' and she picked up 3 from the same family all in wheelchairs

TSA Agents Tracked $136 Million Being Taken Out of the Country Through Ohio Airports
Plus: Iran Directly Threatens to Assassinate Trump
Plus: Iran Directly Threatens to Assassinate Trump
From Minnesota to Ohio to Amsterdam to Dubai.
Somali Suitcase Stash: Feds say $130 million moved from Ohio airport to Minnesota on way overseas Officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration agents tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. This follows reports that millions of dollars were discovered leaving Minnesota airports.Unrelated: Iran state TV to Trump: "This time, the bullet won't miss."
By John Solomon Published: January 13, 2026 11:00pm Federal agents investigating a Somali immigrant operation that moved massive amounts of cash in suitcases from the Minneapolis airport to overseas have uncovered a new leg of the courier journey: the Columbus, Ohio airport. Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. The cash movements were made by U.S. citizens of Somali origin who flew out of the Columbus airport en route to either the airports in Minneapolis or Atlanta, and the couriers always declared the cash as legally required on documents, officials said. "Typically, when they go to Minneapolis, they drop off the cash and then a subsequent courier travels abroad from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam," one official familiar with the investigation told Just the News on Tuesday, speaking only on condition of anonymity. The officials said they appear to have uncovered a massive cash movement operation that gathered money from multiple Somali immigrant communities in the West, Midwest and South that eventually brought luggage filled with currency to Minneapolis for flights overseas. Just the News reported exclusively last week that TSA detected nearly $700 million in cash in luggage leaving the Minneapolis airport in 2024 and 2025, frequently headed on a route to Amsterdam and then Dubai where U.S. officials lost the tracking. The TSA agents routinely alerted investigators during the Biden years, but there was little interest in probing the money movements further until President Donald Trump took office last year.
Iran issued a sickening threat against President Trump Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt -- with the words "This time it will not miss the target." The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported. It marks Tehran's most direct threat yet against Trump, following his repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters. Iran appeared to step up threats against Trump by broadcasting a photo of him during the Butler assassination attempt. The image of a bloodied-Trump appeared to be taken from a pro-government rally in Iran, which has been allowed to air despite nationwide blackouts over the protests against the regime. Trump was infamously the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was shot in the ear by gunman Thomas Crooks.

Former McDonald's Worker (?) Kamala Harris Buys $8 Million Graft Mansion
Boy, "civil servants" who supposedly make much less money than they would command in the private sector sure do get filthy rich.
How does that happen?Former Vice President Kamala Harris is upgrading her Los Angeles real estate portfolio, trading one celebrity-soaked neighborhood for another. Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff recently dropped a little over $8 million ($8.15 million) on a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu that's home to a who's who of both Hollywood and -- more recently -- Silicon Valley power players, the California Post has learned.Oh right, her woman-beating husband is a lawyer.
Speaking of: Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass promised they would clear the red tape to allow people to rebuild the houses the California government burned down. Barely any houses have been rebuilt.
In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California's most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume. Access to Little Dume, which boasts one of the most coveted surf breaks in all of California requires a special key that only a select group of Point Dume residents can possess. While much of Malibu remains devastated by the one-two punch of the 2018 Woolsey Fire and the 2025 Palisades Fire, Point Dume is in relatively good shape compared to other parts of Malibu.
Mike KelleyYup, they sure cleared out that red tape... Look at what the government required this property owner to build before he could put down the first beam of his house: Caissons four stories deep! They're also forcing him to build a sea wall to protect against erosion. The sea wall is also required to be built with caissons extending down four to five stories to the bedrock. Clearing out the red tape, requiring citizens to build sea walls to protect the coast one property lot at a time.
@MikeKel25187159 Jan 12 Adam Carolla just revisited Malibu. He found one house being rebuilt. The owner had to spend $2.5 million just for his foundation to meet CA requirements. It looks like a missile silo. Meanwhile, the nearby wooden pier still stands after 120 years.

BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
He's now in hiding.
Under mounting threats and online harassment, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good is now in hiding, according to President Trump's border czar Tom Homan, who confirmed Tuesday that the situation has deteriorated to the point where the agent's safety -- and that of his family -- is at risk. Speaking on Will Cain Country, Homan said ICE agent Jonathan Ross has been forced out of public view as activists circulate his photograph, personal information, and even "wanted for murder" posters online, accompanied by what Homan described as explicit death threats. Homan said Ross is remaining out of sight while investigations into the shooting continue, stressing that facts -- not political pressure -- should determine the outcome. "I know for a fact now he has to be in hiding," Homan said, confirming that the threats extend to Ross's family as well. Cain pressed him directly on whether the agent was in hiding, and Homan answered flatly: "Yes. For the safety of him and his family."

Wednesday Morning Rant
Threading the Needle
The fraud problem in government programs is blowing up in a way that may cause serious problems for the government at all levels. What Nick Shirley exposed began as "Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota." It quickly ballooned to "Somali program fraud in Minnesota" and then to "Somali program fraud in multiple states" and is now in the process of becoming "widespread fraud everywhere." This is, to put it mildly, bad and presents a conundrum in terms of how the government will respond to it.
It's a tough problem because of widespread it is, how long it has been going on, record low trust and the need to maintain legitimacy. There are a few ways to try to address what is clearly a systemic, all-levels problem and I suspect Bessent's declaration yesterday that "5%-10%" of the federal budget is stolen is a key part of framing a response that can thread the needle.

The Morning Report — 1/14/26
When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.It's a very short walk from childish pranks to disturbing the peace and then ultimately terrorism. The decomposing zombie who attempted to ram ICE agents in Minneapolis didn't just make a snap decision that led to her demise. She was propagandized to the point of brainwashing. No right thinking rational person would have ever put himself/herself in the position to be directly confronting law enforcement officers let alone attempt to kill them. They allowed themselves to be absorbed into a death cult to become cannon fodder. Cut off the money and you cut off the lifeblood of the cancer that is killing us from within. Meanwhile, the citizens' uprising in Iran which has been going on for days has led to ever increasing violence and repression on the part of the Mullahs, which is in direct proportion I assume to the growing fear that their hold on power might at long last be at an end. Beyond crucial moral rhetorical and diplomatic support for the Iranian people, President Trump is upping the ante.
At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means tormenting ICE agents on the ground. The group holds in-person "action trainings" on how to "stop ICE & build a revolution." It also maintains a running list of the Twin Cities hotels housing ICE agents and organizes late-night "noise demonstrations" aimed at making it "impossible" for those hotels to operate.
As the death toll from Iran’s crackdown on anti-regime protests reaches staggering levels — with families searching through body bags, over 10,000 arrested, and executions underway — President Donald Trump canceled all talks with Iranian officials, declared “help is on its way,” warned that regime killers “will pay a big price,” and urged protesters to “take over your institutions” against the brutal Islamic Republic theocracy, while the U.S. urged Americans to leave the country.Is it bluster or will the President back up the tough rhetoric with concrete action, meaning military strikes on regime targets? There are pluses and minuses to be sure, as the erudite Michael Goodwin notes in his analysis of the situation...
American power can make itself known in various ways, as Teddy Roosevelt brilliantly outlined with his famous admonition to “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Truth be told, Donald Trump has never been a fan of speaking softly, but his Tuesday comments on the upheavals in Iran still managed to be close enough for now.. . .He noted that “hawkish U.S. policies toward Iran have historically empowered hardliners” and that military action “risks changing the subject from Iranians’ justified grievances against the regime to its international opponents,” namely Israel and the US. “Trying to appropriate domestic opposition inside Iran risks undermining it,” he adds, and argues that “a pragmatic, hands-off approach should guide U.S. policy in the days ahead.” Additionally, with Washington increasingly focused on the midterm elections, Trump is already facing domestic controversies, such as the ICE crackdown, and, most important, tough polling numbers on his handling of the economy. A Real Clear Politics average of surveys taken in recent weeks shows 41% of respondents approving of his economic policies and actions, with 56% disapproving. . . Against that backdrop, and with events in Venezuela still unsettled, a military entanglement in Iran would probably not be popular at home. That’s not to say the US should turn its back on the brutal regime’s crackdown. But the political reality is that the president can’t afford to turn his attention too far or too long from Americans’ kitchen table issues.Elsewhere, In the most electrifying news from way out of left field, Associate Justice Kentanji Brown-25 Jackson is a complete embarrassment.
As you probably could have guessed, Jackson struggled through a series of nearly incomprehensible statements about sex, gender identity, and sports classifications. It was embarrassing. “You have the overarching classification, you know, everybody has to be, um, uh, uh, play on the team that is the same as their sex at birth. Um, but then you have a gender identity definition that is operating within that. Meaning, a distinction, meaning that, um, for, uh, cisginger [sic] girls they can play consistent with their gender identity, w- for transgender girls, they can’t.” It’s hilarious that Jackson stumbled over the pronunciation of one of the left’s favorite made-up words, all while failing to understand the difference between real girls and boys who pretend to be girls.SCOTUS observers have noted that it was not a shining moment for those promoting the transexual madness and that sanity might actually prevail. But of course this is the Supreme Court and the preservation of Leftism and its pomps has been its priority, Heller and Dobbs among a few other rare exceptions notwithstanding. 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.

Daily Tech News 14 January 2026
- Every part of human bodies from the brain to, um, other bits, is increasingly overrun with microscopic particles of plastic, unless somehow every study generated by the entire field is measuring contaminants or misinterpreting normal biological processes. (The Guardian)
But that couldn't possibly be true, could it?"I'm convinced we detected microplastics," she said. "But I've always said that [the amount estimated] could be maybe twice lower, or 10 times higher." In response to Kuhlman's letter, Prof Lamoree and colleagues said he had "incorrectly interpreted" the data.
Well, that doesn't sound convinced. And Lamoree was the lead author on a 2022 paper that first detected microplastics in human blood.Prof Lamoree said: "I really think we should collaborate on a much nicer basis - with much more open communication - and don't try to burn down other people's results. We should all move forward instead of fighting each other."
Don't ask questions. Questions are mean!"We do have plastics in us - I think that is safe to assume," said Materić.
Assume?"But real hard proof on how much is yet to come."
And may never arrive.
