Episode 1162 – DEI IS Toxic Empathy and Racist!

Canada has a mass shooting in a school. Canada is giving up the real story without saying it.

California loses another high-profile name because of its tax policies.

And a judge makes a common sense decision concerning ICE.

News

Here is some news:

  • A major mass shooting occurred on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, in the small community of Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia, Canada, with at least nine people killed and more than two dozen injured at a secondary school and a nearby home.
  • Facebook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has become the latest tech billionaire to ditch California in search of greener pastures and has ended up in Florida. The move from Zuckerberg comes as California is considering a 5 percent tax on the ultra-wealthy in the state.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a flight restriction that had grounded all flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas on Wednesday, after previously warning that the U.S. government “may use deadly force” against any aircraft in violation.
    • A Trump administration official told Fox News that the initial lockdown came in response to “Mexican cartel drones” that breached U.S. airspace.
    • The FAA had announced Wednesday morning that all flights to and from El Paso were being grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation. The restriction was initially set to be effective from February 10 at 11:30 p.m. MST to February 20 at 11:30 p.m. MST.
  • January jobs report came out.
    • 130,000 private sector jobs were created. Unemployment went down to 4.3%.
    • There was an adjustment for the year 2025, down 425,000 jobs.
  • Wages have gone up beyond the inflation rate, but not a lot.
    • Prices are not going to go down to 2019 levels. Unfortunately, inflation wasn’t transitory.

Because It’s Unconstitutional?

According to the Daily Wire:

A federal judge ruled Monday that California can’t enforce a law banning federal immigration agents from wearing masks.

Judge Christina A. Snyder from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled that California’s “No Secret Police Act” both discriminates against the federal government for solely applying to federal law enforcement and violates its power granted by the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law in September to ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from wearing masks while making arrests, forcing them to show their faces. The Department of Homeland Security quickly jumped to condemn the law, calling it “a flagrant attempt to endanger” federal officers.

ICE agents currently face a more than 1,000% increase in assaults, a surge in doxxing efforts, and a roughly 8,000% jump in death threats, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Toxic Empathy

According to Perplexity:

In February 2026, Davis sharply reduced the sentence that a Jefferson County jury recommended for defendant Christopher Earl Thompson, convicted of a 2023 kidnapping, armed robbery, and sexual assault in Louisville. The jury reportedly recommended a 65‑year sentence, but Davis imposed 30 years, citing the defendant’s age and potential for rehabilitation, while adding more than four years for his contemptuous conduct toward the court.

The case involved Thompson abducting a woman in her own vehicle, forcing her to perform oral sex at gunpoint, robbing her at an ATM, and sexually assaulting her again, with DNA evidence tying him to the crime. Local Republicans, including Louisville Metro Council Minority Caucus Chair Anthony Piagentini, publicly denounced the reduced sentence, arguing it disrespected the jury’s decision and endangered public safety.

That’s What Los Angeles Needs!

According to the New York Post:

A radical left-wing group in Los Angeles has published a shocking 40-page roadmap to transform the nation’s second-largest city into a bizarre socialist experiment.

The Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails.

The 3,500 member group has already helped elect several candidates to local office, and previously backed Nithya Raman, a DSA-member now running for mayor. They openly trash the Democratic Party establishment as capitalist sellouts and want to build “working class power” through what they call a “socialist mass organization.”

The manifesto, published in 2025 is more than 9,000-words long and gives an insight into the policies that a potential Mayor Raman has signed up to as a DSA member and could try to implement in LA. It targets the “status quo coalition” of elected officials, real estate developers, billionaires, nonprofits, and even some union leaders who’ve supposedly sold out workers.

They think they can actually pull this off in six to eight years through local elections and organizing.

“We are on the burning edge of the economic, climate, and moral crises that define this generation,” the manifesto warns, adding ominously: “The choice remains socialism or barbarism.”

So, what are the goals of the Democratic Socialists of America?

  • Seizing privately owned housing using eminent domain to seize private property and convert to public/social housing
  • Build city-owned municipal enterprises and expropriate corporations in essential industries (grocery, restaurants, internet, etc.)
  • Decommission Men’s Central Jail and don’t replace with any carceral facilities
  • Execute shift to 100% renewable energy by 2035 — complete fossil fuel elimination in 11 years
  • Make all public transportation free (buses, trains, bike share)
  • Publicly acquire and operate all energy systems — full public takeover of utilities
  • Reclaim private and public golf courses via zoning/legislative means for housing/parks
  • Divest public pension investments from war profiteers, defense contractors, and fossil fuel companies
  • Replace armed police with unarmed alternatives for traffic enforcement and mental health crises
  • End all contracts between public agencies and corporations profiting from war/fossil fuels (including Metro’s contracts)
  • Ban all unhosted short-term rentals (Airbnb, etc.)
  • Prosecute and permanently decertify all cops who kill
  • Noncitizen voting in all local elections
  • Vacancy tax on empty housing units
  • Universal rent control statewide
  • Automatic rent freezes and eviction moratoriums with any state of emergency
  • Decriminalize all drug use and fund safe injection sites
  • Restore voting rights for all former felons
  • End all means-testing for child development programs

Episode 1156 – He Ain’t No William Shakespeare

Peter Dinklage proves that being a dwarf with a British accent doesn’t make one a talented poet. Or even one who knows how to pick subjects for his poetry.

The identities of the Border Patrol agents who shot Alex Pretti have been released. This is quite embarrassing for the media.

And Democrats really are picking the wrong sides in the ICE debate.

Some Quick News

Here is some news:

  • The two Border Patrol agents involved in the Alex Pretti shooting had their identities released this weekend. Both men were Hispanic. So much for white supremacy.
  • Don Lemon was arrested on Friday for violating the FACE act. He was indicted by a Supreme Court.
  • The Kennedy Trump Performing Arts Center will be closed for about three years for construction.

Good God!

This Is Who You’re Siding With?

According to the Post Millennial:

Long Beach mayoral candidate Rogelio Martinez drew backlash after calling on local gangs to unite in opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city.

In a video posted on social media, Martinez stood outside Long Beach City Hall and appealed directly to gang leaders across the city, claiming there are 55 gangs operating locally. He called on them to meet him at City Hall on Monday.

Just Incredible

According to the New York Post:

A 5-year-old boy and his father who were taken into custody by ICE during the agency’s illegal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis were freed over the weekend after a federal judge ordered their release.

Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were released from a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas on Saturday and returned to Minnesota on Sunday, according to Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro.

Arias, originally from Ecuador, and his young son were detained by ICE at their family home in a Minneapolis suburb on Jan. 20.

A picture of Liam wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack while he was being taken by federal immigration agents sparked a firestorm of backlash over the Trump administration’s crackdown and immediate calls for his release.

Neighbors and school officials accused the feds of using the preschooler as “bait” by getting him to knock on the family’s door to lure his mother out of their home after Arias tried to flee.

The US Department of Homeland Security repeatedly refuted the claim. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said ICE didn’t target the boy, claiming his mother refused to take him after his father was apprehended, leaving him in the care of the agents.

Later in the article:

US District Judge Fred Biery demanded the pair’s release in a scathing letter on Saturday.

“The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” Biery wrote in his ruling.

Biery previously ruled that Liam and his dad could not be removed from the US.

Are You Surprised?

According to the New York Post:

“Will & Grace” actress Debra Messing blasted the horrific gridlock outside a hospital in New York City as snow remains piled up on the streets a full week after Winter Storm Fern passed — and said that Mayor Zohran Mamdani is to blame.

Messing, 57, bemoaned a trip to an appointment that dragged on for more than an hour early Saturday after her taxi encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic while an ambulance tried to squeeze through.

“The streets are a disaster. It hasn’t snowed in 5 days and the streets still haven’t been cleared. Poor ambulance sitting in [essentially] a parking lot with sirens going. I’m praying for the person needing emergency care,” she wrote in a post on X.

“I’ve lived here for 15 years (this go around) and this has never happened. The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working. I wonder what happened? Hang in there New Yorkers,” the Brooklyn-born, NYU-educated star wrote.

Though Messing didn’t call out Mamdani by name, many linked her sarcastic sign-off to her past critiques of the self-declared socialist.

Messing, who voted for Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral election, crashed out on social media in November and posted a series of memes labeling Mamdani an “American-hating jihadist” and crudely nicknaming him “Osama bin Mamdani.”

Since then, she’s largely avoided mentioning Mamdani online. But the snowstorm tested her resolve — and many agreed with her sly jab at Hizzoner over the state of the streets.

Other Problems:

  • Snow is not being plowed, jamming up the streets.
  • Trash is piling up since trash trucks cannot get to it.
  • The transit system is shutdown still.
  • Students were required to access schooling online, but no one could connect to the system.
  • 14 people have died during the storm.
  • Mamdani has had none of these problems around the mayor’s mansion.

Episode 1155 – Not Quite As Angelic As We Thought!

Well, it turns out Alex Pretti is not the angel the Left is making him out to be.

A registered nurse is fired for giving out advice on how to hurt ICE agents. This brings about a big question.

And we talked about Ilhan Omar’s corruption. Well, a new story came out yesterday and…surprise, surprise, surprise!

Who’d a Thunk It!

According to the New York Post:

Disturbing new footage shows Alex Pretti armed, spitting at federal immigration officers and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic clash more than a week before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

The video, which the BBC said it has verified, captured the ICU nurse yelling at agents while they were driving away during a heated Jan. 13 protest before booting the back of the car, prompting them to jump out and tackle him to the ground, according to footage from the News Movement.  

The man — who was wearing similar clothing in the video to what Pretti had on when he was fatally shot last Saturday — was taken to the ground by at least five agents, who deployed tear gas into the whistle-blowing crowd during the wild confrontation.

More Calls for Violence

According to the New York Post:

An unhinged Virginia nurse who encouraged medical professionals to drug ICE agents with paralytic meds was swiftly canned.

Malinda Cook, a nurse anesthetist at Virginia Commonwealth University Health, was fired by the hospital on Tuesday after she spewed the disturbing remarks in a spate of TikTok videos.

Cook, who was identified by local media, blasted out her so-called “sabotage” tactics as anti-ICE riots exploded across the country.

Gee, Why Does California Have High Homelessness?

According to the New York Post:

A COVID-era program that guzzled $5 million of taxpayer money annually to serve booze to homeless alcoholics will finally shutter this year, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie exclusively told The California Post.

“For years, San Francisco was spending $5 million a year to provide alcohol to people who were struggling with homelessness and addiction — it doesn’t make sense, and we’re ending it,” Lurie said.

The taxpayer tipple, called the Managed Alcohol Program (MAP), was created by the San Francisco Department of Public Health in April 2020, when the city began housing homeless people in hotels during lockdown.

The program served just 55 clients during its run — amounting to a $454,000 bar tab each.

To prevent chronic alcoholics from dangerous withdrawal while stores and bars were closed, clinicians brought metered doses of beer and liquor to clients.

But the scheme went on for six years, well after the pandemic ended.

More Corruption

According to the New York Post:

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s $236 million program to help those with severe mental illness who bounce between homelessness and jail has helped a measly 22 people since the its launch in 2022, a new report reveals.

Newsom’s CARE Court was billed as a “completely new paradigm” to get the mentally ill off the streets and into treatment, with up to 12,000 people expected to benefit, the Daily Mail reported.

But only 22 people have been sent to treatment over the past four years, after a state analysis found that up to 50,000 could be eligible for the program.

The 22 court-ordered cases were among roughly 3,000 petitions filed statewide as of October. Of those, only 706 were approved, including 684 voluntary agreements that never intended the meet program’s goal, according to the Daily Mail.

Newsom has denied the report.

Episode 1154 – She Has Some ‘Splainin To Do!

Unfortunately, Conservatives are doing what I said they should not do. Let’s talk about.

Ilhan Omar has some explaining to do.

And Zorhan Mamdani is doing exactly what he said he wouldn’t do.

Unfortunately, This Is Going To Happen

According to Fox News:

House Republicans are coalescing around progressive “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after she was attacked during a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.

“This is totally unacceptable. I am glad Rep. Omar is okay,” Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., wrote on X in response to a video of the incident.

It’s a rare show of bipartisanship in the face of political violence that has become common in recent years amid increasingly volatile rhetoric on both sides.

Support for Omar came from both conservative and moderate Republicans after a man appeared to confront her and spray a substance on her before he was quickly subdued at her public event.

Of course it is Donald Trump’s fault. AOC made that clear:

“It is not a coincidence that after days of President Trump and [Vice President] Vance putting Rep. Omar in their crosshairs with slanderous public attacks, she gets assaulted at her town hall.”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omar-backed-house-republicans-after-minnesota-town-hall-attack

Then Do Something About It

According to the New York Post:

The House Oversight Committee is probing “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s skyrocketing family wealth after a $9 billion Somali social services fraud scandal exploded in her district,The Post has learned. 

Oversight panel Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said staff lawyers are exploring the extraordinary step of subpoenaing Omar’s spouse over his allegedly shady business practices.

“We’re going to get answers, whether it’s through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two,” he told The Post.

Republicans want to know how Somali-born Omar (D-Minn.) and her politically-connected husband Tim Mynett went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her 2024 disclosure forms.

“There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years,” Comer said. “It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy. It’s not possible.”

Separately, federal law enforcement is also probing.

“We are investigating all politicians potentially connected to any of this [fraud] in Minnesota. You can read between the lines,” said a law enforcement source.

Unlike the Biden administration, which took no apparent action, Team Trump is “on top of it,” the source said.

The comments came as The Post learned the FBI was briefed during the Biden administration on suspicions about an array of companies run by Omar’s hubby.

Investment firm Rose Lake Capital, formed by Mynett and partner Will Hailer in 2022, is part of a web of companies created by the lefty “Squad” member’s husband of five years.

Rose Lake Capital had a paltry $42.44 in its bank account in late 2022, according to court documents in a lawsuit against a related company filed in South Dakota.

Yet the firm rocketed in value from zero to up to $25 million in just a year, according to Omar’s 2024 filing.

Associates were perplexed enough in 2024 about alleged irregularities and questions about where the money was coming from that they brought information to the attention of federal investigators, sources said.

They wondered whether the businesses — including a winery — might be up to something improper, since none had a public track record.

Several prominent people had previously been listed as advising the Rose Lake firm, but are no longer present on its bright pink web page. They include former Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), who once chaired the Senate Finance Committee and served as U.S. Ambassador to China under Barack Obama.

Baucus said he had a single phone call with Hailer back in 2022 about a proposed deal to make storage units. “Then nothing came of it” beyond occasional emails from Hailer. “That went on for about four or five months or so, then just radio silence,” he told The Post.

“He stopped writing his emails about the investment – about how well he’s doing, all that stuff. You can read between the lines – it sounded a little bit fishy,” he said. Baucus said no one ever asked to use his name as an “advisor” on the company website.

Also previously listed were former Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), who once chaired the House Agriculture Committee, and J. Peter Pham, a fellow at the Atlantic Council who served as President Trump’s Special Envoy to Africa’s Great Lakes Regions.

“Obviously I’ve seen reporting, including in The Post, about Will’s partner who I’ve never met and his wife [Omar] – Tim and his wife’s sudden coming into riches. But [I] can’t say anything about that, other than certainly I had no share in that,” said Pham, who indicated he had a single meeting about a potential deal to build solar panels in South Africa and was called an “advisor” by the company. Peterson didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Rose Lake’s website claims to have had officers with “previous” experience managing assets worth $60 billion, an amount that would make the firm a player that might attract notice.

But Wall Street insiders told The Post they had never heard of Rose Lake, or of anyone investing with them despite the firm boasting on its website that it had been running billions of dollars of assets under management and engaging in an array of high-end financial activities including “deals, mergers and acquisitions, debt restructuring and capital raising.”

Another Wall Street source expressed shock that Mynett — a longtime political consultant in Minnesota — was suddenly running a financial firm.

The firm also is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Wall Street’s top regulator, and doesn’t say how much it is managing now.

The Dodd Frank reforms imposed after the 2008 financial crisis created registration requirements for advisors overseeing $100 million in assets, or $150 million for private fund advisors, with some exceptions. So-called family offices can sidestep disclosure rules because they don’t solicit outside investors. Venture capital firms are also exempt and Rose Lake touts VC work as one of its specialties.

Still, Rose Lake’s boast on its website that it does private equity work and that its officers’ had billions in “previous” assets under management would suggest the fund would be required to register, said a former high-ranking SEC official. “I would continue to push on the disclosure issue because this looks funny,” the person said.

Financial experts have also pointed to multiple variations of similar names for Rose Lake entities as raising “red flags,” and that the company was scrubbing a list of its officers from its site in the wake of the multi-billion dollar fraud scheme involving the Somali community in his wife’s district after a front-page report from The Post.

In recent days, the firm has deactivated its LinkedIn page. Hailer is no longer mentioned on it.

His own LinkedIn page no longer lists the firm – although it does identify him as a co-owner of the eStCru winery, which he launched with Mynett in 2020.

Hailer previously worked as political director for then-Democratic National Committee chair Keith Ellison, now Minnesota’s attorney general.

The widening web of investigations are long overdue, House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post.

“While Minnesotans have been getting fleeced to the tune of $9 billion by Somali fraudsters, Ilhan Omar and her husband have been raking in millions through their shady businesses,” he said.

“The explosion of wealth, plus the fact that convicted fraudsters helped fund Omar’s campaign, is worth an investigation by the Ethics Committee at the very least.”

An SEC spokesman would not comment when asked about Rose Lake and its filings. The Post has contacted Mynett, Hailer, and Rep. Omar’s office seeking comment.

They Love Law and Order

According to the New York Post:

NYPD cops have been ordered to cut back on overtime — in what the rank-and-file fear is just the beginning under far-lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who campaigned on eliminating the department’s entire OT budget, The Post has learned.

Officers have been told they need to reduce their extra time by nine to 11 hours next month as part of a cost-cutting initiative, multiple sources said Friday.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the department planned to keep those caps in place after the shortest month of the year or if further cuts were in the works.

Insiders said the order didn’t come down from City Hall and chalked it up to a short month with few big-ticket events.

Episode 1152 – So Much for Law and Order!

Let’s go over some of the news in Minnesota and there is some big news.

Some activist group is suing the Trump administration for one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. Let’s see if the activists can find the right judge.

And I have a couple of examples of what Democrats think of law and order.

Updates from Minnesota

Here are some updates from Minnesota after the Alex Pretti killing:

  • The Trump administration will partially remove Border Patrol from Minnesota.
  • Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino has been relieved.
  • There are major divides of the mass deportations within the Trump administration. There are call for Kristi Noam to resign or be fired.
  • Tom Homan is in Minnesota to tell the governor and mayor Jacob Fry the government will lower the number of federal officers if, and only if, local law enforcement helps.
    • Homen has a meeting with Jacob Fry this morning.
  • The Trump administration picked up a legal win on Monday after the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked a Biden-appointed judge’s restrictions on federal immigration agents’ tactics in Minnesota while it appeals the decision. 
    • A three-judge panel said a ruling from District Judge Kate Menendez limiting how ICE officers could respond to protesters in Minnesota was “too broad” and “too vague,” temporarily pausing her order that barred agents from retaliating against anyone engaged in “peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” and from stopping vehicles without “reasonable articulable suspicion that [the occupants] are forcibly obstructing or interfering with” immigration enforcement operations. 
  • The Trump administration is preparing to pull funding from Minnesota and other “sanctuary” cities and states.
  • The activism goes way beyond the citizens of Minnesota.
    • The teacher’s union in St. Paul has walked out of the classrooms to protest ICE.
    • ANTIFA has been setting fire to hotels they think ICE agents are inhabiting.
    • There are multiple apps and social media groups that are tracking ICE and organizing protests. Apps that both Greg Prezzi and Rachel Good were using.

So Dumb

According to Fox News:

President Donald Trump said Sunday that it was “too late” to halt construction of a new ballroom at the White House, despite a newly filed lawsuit challenging the project.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the ballroom as “a GIFT (ZERO taxpayer funding) to the United States of America,” estimating its cost at $300 million and saying it was financed through private donations.

Trump said the lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, criticizing the group for filing it after construction was already underway.

“Why didn’t these obstructionists and troublemakers bring their baseless lawsuit much earlier?” he wrote.

Trump added that the East Wing was “changed, built and rebuilt over the years” and that “it bore no resemblance or relationship to the original building.”

On July 31, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the planned construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. The sprawling ballroom will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests and will stay true to the classical design of the White House.

The White House does not have a formal ballroom, and the new ballroom will take the place of the current East Wing of the White House. 

Since his return to office, Trump has wasted no time in reshaping the look and feel of the White House and the National Mall.

Dumbass of the Day

These Guys Are For Law and Order?

According to the New York Post:

A New Jersey mom convicted of burning her two young children to death could soon walk free thanks to now-former Gov. Phil Murphy, who sparked outrage by commuting her sentence as he left office this week.

Maria Montalvo was serving a 100-year prison term after she was found guilty of murdering her 18-month-old daughter and 28-month-old son in 1996 – but under Murphy’s direction the 61-year-old Union Beach woman will have a chance at parole, according to reports.

Montalvo will continue to seek a new trial to get her conviction overturned even though she has a pathway to release, her lawyer, Josh Hood, told NJ.com.

Without Murphy’s intervention, she would not have been eligible for parole until 2054 when she was 90 years old, according to the Asbury Park Press.

Now, she’ll be able to argue her case to the state parole board potentially within months.

Later in the article:

Montalvo had baby Zoraida-Angelin Aponte and her older brother Rafael-Louis Aponte in her Volkswagen Jetta when she swung by a gas station to fill up $3 of gas in a plastic container in February 1994, said Santiago.

She then reached her in-laws’ home in Long Branch, where she “doused her children with the gasoline, and ignited it, killing them both,” he added.

The gruesome arson case was spurred by Montalvo’s husband telling her he wanted to end their relationship just days before, prosecutors reportedly argued at the time.

Santiago’s defense insisted the fire was an accident after the mother tried to light a cigarette in the car, which inadvertently lit up vapors that leaked from the gas can, according to the Asbury Park Press.

The parent also suffered severe burns across part of her face and body during the inferno.

Episode 1152 – They’re Just Not Learning Their Lesson!

A nightmare storm has hit the country causing a lot of havoc.

Another useful idiot is shot in Minnesota. This is leading to more violence against ICE.

And the Democrats want to shutdown the government again. I guess they don’t want to win the House in the November elections.

Nightmare

According to the Daily Wire:

More than 800,000 customers in the United States, as far west as New Mexico, were without electricity, and over 10,000 flights were canceled on Sunday ahead of a monster winter storm that threatened to paralyze eastern states with heavy snowfall.

Forecasters said snow, sleet, freezing rain, and dangerously frigid temperatures would sweep the eastern two-thirds of the nation on Sunday and into the week.

The number of power outages continued to rise. As of 10:18 a.m. EST (1518 GMT) on Sunday, more than 800,000 U.S. customers were without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us, with at least 300,000 in Tennessee and over 100,000 each in Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana. Other states affected included Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama.

The Department of Energy on Saturday issued an emergency order authorizing the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to deploy backup generation resources at data centers and other major facilities, aiming to limit blackouts in the state.

On Sunday, the DOE issued an emergency order to authorize grid operator PJM Interconnection to run “specified resources” in the mid-Atlantic region, regardless of limits due to state laws or environmental permits.

The National Weather Service warned of an unusually expansive and long-duration winter storm that would bring widespread, heavy ice accumulation in the Southeast, where “crippling to locally catastrophic impacts” can be expected.

Weather service forecasters predicted record cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills descending further into the Great Plains region by Monday.

More than 10,100 U.S. flights scheduled for Sunday were canceled, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Over 4,000 flights were canceled on Saturday.

Major U.S. airlines warned passengers to stay alert for abrupt flight changes and cancellations.

Other things:

  • 12 people have been killed. That doesn’t include 7 dead in New York.
  • Some transportation is being restored on a limited basis.
  • Electric companies are pouring in to bring electricity back.

There Will Be More of This

According to Fox News:

Federal officials say violent unrest in Minneapolis directly derailed an immigration arrest, leaving a suspect with a serious criminal history at large while a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was permanently maimed after a protester bit off part of his finger.

U.S. Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino said during a press conference on Sunday that Border Patrol and ICE agents were forced to abandon a targeted operation after crowds interfered, assaulted officers and turned the scene chaotic.

As a result, he said, the suspect escaped custody – a failure he blamed solely on the decisions made by politicians, activists and those who confronted law enforcement officials.

“This individual is still roaming the streets today,” Bovino said. “This individual walks the streets today because of those choices made by politicians and those, perhaps, weaker-minded constituents that chose to follow directions of those politicians. Sad state of affairs.”

The unrest erupted after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot a man during the same enforcement operation, an incident that officials said set off the violent clashes.

Federal officials identified the man fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a member of the American Federation of Government Employees. Pretti, 37, lived in Minneapolis and worked as an intensive care unit nurse at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.

Authorities said Pretti was shot during an early-morning immigration enforcement operation targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history that includes domestic assault involving intentional bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license. According to Homeland Security officials, Pretti approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9 mm pistol and “violently resisted” when agents attempted to disarm him.

Are They Doing This Again?

According to Fox News:

One of the key negotiators who helped end the last government shutdown won’t support a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, further adding to the likelihood of another closure. 

Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday that he could not support the current, six-bill funding package as is because it included the DHS funding bill. King was a pivotal figure in ending the last shutdown, and was one of only eight Senate Democratic caucus members to join Republicans to end it. 

King, like other members of the Senate Democratic caucus, is infuriated by the death of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old nurse who was shot dead by a border patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday. 

Congressional Democrats have railed against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents entering Minnesota and elsewhere, but begrudgingly agreed to support the DHS bill until the chaos over the weekend unfolded.

“I hate shutdowns,” King said. “I’m one of the people that helped negotiate the solution to the last — the end of the last shutdown, but I can’t vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under the circumstances.” 

King’s resistance to the package comes after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced that Senate Democrats would not support the legislation, increasing the odds of a partial government shutdown by the end of the week.

What Did You Think She Was Going to Do?

According to the Daily Wire:

Virginia Democrats have introduced legislation that would significantly raise income and investment taxes, putting the Commonwealth on track to become the highest-taxed state in the nation. These proposals, which include new top tax brackets and higher levies on investment income, would push Virginia’s effective income tax rate above California’s.

Democrats introduced the legislation shortly after consolidating power in Richmond, creating higher income tax brackets and expanding taxes on capital gains and other investment income. If lawmakers enact the bills, the changes would raise Virginia’s top effective income tax rate to roughly 13.8%, surpassing all other states.

Lawmakers backing the measures argue the tax hikes are necessary to fund public priorities and stabilize state finances. Virginia Delegate Kelly Convirs-Fowler (D-VA) said the proposals would require “millionaires [to] pay their fair share of taxes,” arguing the revenue would help “buffer” Virginians from broader economic pressures. Left-wing policy group The Commonwealth Institute, one of the many groups behind this proposed plan, said a “Fair Share tax” could raise more than $1 billion annually for education, housing, and other public services.

Democrats have positioned the tax proposals as part of a broader affordability agenda. Governor Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has said her administration will prioritize lowering health care, housing, and energy costs. She campaigned on what she called an agenda to build a more “Affordable Virginia.”

Other things this broad has signed into law on day one:

  • She ended cooperation with ICE and DHS.
  • She ended mandatory sentencing. Those bills included a proposal to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other repeat violent felonies. Democrats also removed the mandatory minimum five-day sentence for first time DUI offenders in the state.
  • She signed a bill aimed at requiring government contracts under $100,000 go to minority and women-owned businesses, leading some critics to argue the move is discriminatory against White men.
  • The last step in a series of actions needed to take place to enshrine abortion rights in Virginia’s state Constitution was also just passed by the Democratic Party-led state Senate. If approved by voters in November, the constitutional amendment would permit abortion in the first and second trimesters, while letting Virginia regulate abortion in the third trimester for various reasons.

Episode 1151 – Hello? Didn’t You Know Envy is a Sin!

We are learning a little more about the people who crashed that church on Sunday.

California’s education system could be in some big trouble soon.

And Eric Swalwell, who lives in Washington D.C. has decided to run for California governor, makes a promise on what he’s going to do to ICE officers when he’s governor.

Arrest Her

According to Fox News:

Far-left agitator Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was one of the organizers of the storming of a Minnesota church to protest ICE on Sunday, raked in over $1 million during six years leading a Minneapolis civil rights nonprofit that addresses anti-poverty issues.

Armstrong, whose website identifies her as a civil rights lawyer and “scholar-activist,” helped to organize the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. 

In a Facebook post, she claimed that one of the church’s pastors is a leader at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The demonstration is one of many throughout the Twin Cities in protest of the federal government’s surge of immigration enforcement officials to crack down on widespread fraud taking place in the state. 

Armstrong, who is currently the founder and CEO of a cannabis company called Dope Roots, led the nonprofit as executive director for at least six years, from 2019 through 2024, according to tax filings by the Wayfinder Foundation.

The post features a video of anti-ICE activist Mike Anderson outside a church, defiantly denying disruption of a worship service while challenging Attorney General Pam Bondi to arrest him.

Finally

According to Fox News:

A top Trump administration Education Department official exposed a pair of blue states that he says are among the worst for federal student aid fraud as officials crack down on scammers who are exploiting the taxpayer-funded programs.

In 2025, the Department of Education said it prevented $1 billion of fraud in the aid programs. Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said these schemes are not only a waste of taxpayer money, but also disproportionately affect low-income students trying to pay for their education.

“We talked about California being certainly a hub of fraud, waste and abuse, but we also see Minnesota, for example,” Kent told Fox News Digital. “You know, one of the things that has been brought to light over the course of the last couple of weeks is the enormous amount of fraud, waste and abuse under the governor’s leadership there, and this is something that the federal Department of Education had lifted up and highlighted months ago.”

“And to kind of put that into perspective, that’s 1,700 Pell Grants for low-income students that that money could have gone toward,” Kent continued. “So when we think about limited resources, we think about taking away these things that low-income and middle-income students really need in order to get in and through their educational journey.”

During a 12-month period between 2024 and 2025, scammers stole at least $10 million in federal financial aid from community colleges in California. According to one report, 34% of applications to community colleges in the state last year were likely fake.

Here’s One Company That Will Leave New York

According to Fox News:

New York City reached a $2.1 million settlement with A&E Real Estate covering 14 buildings in three boroughs, with Mayor Zohran Mamdani saying the agreement will force repairs and stop what he described as tenant harassment.

“Today, I am proud to stand here … to announce that New York City has come to a settlement with A&E Realty regarding 14 buildings across three boroughs,” Mamdani said Friday at a news conference in Jackson Heights, Queens.

Asked during the news conference how aggressive the new administration plans to be with landlords, Mamdani said, “We want to make it clear to everyone in this city that no one is above the law and that if you are a landlord violating the law, then this administration will hold you to account.”

Mamdani said the settlement requires A&E to pay “$2.1 million in restitution” and includes “injunctions preventing them from harassing their tenants” while compelling the company “to correct more than 4,000 building code violations across these 14 buildings.”

Episode 1149 – Please, Start Making Arrests!!

A Minnesota judge makes something that is already unconstitutional, illegal.

Don Lemon could (and should) think about getting a lawyer. Let’s see if the DoJ does anything about it.

And I have an example of the mentality of the elites in the state of California and will talk about why this is so wrong.

It’s Already Illegal

According to Fox News:

A Minnesota judge issued a ruling Friday barring federal officers from detaining or deploying tear gas against peaceful protesters who are not obstructing authorities while participating in Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.

The order from U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez restricting the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and federal agents comes amid ongoing protests and heightened tension in Minneapolis after an ICE agent fatally shot Minnesota resident Renee Good earlier this month.

The ruling prohibits officers from retaliating against anyone peacefully protesting or observing the actions of immigration officers, adding that federal agents must show probable cause or reasonable suspicion that someone has committed a crime or is interfering with law enforcement operations.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said following the ruling that the First Amendment does not protect “rioting,” adding that DHS is “taking appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters.”

Episode 1148 – This Is a Start

The Trump administration is trying to limit immigration to the United States and GET RID of those who don’t belong here. Good for him

An Iranian dissident points to the problems with the US media when it comes to the Iranian uprising.

And we have some sound bites that are just amazing and showing how insane the Left is.

Should Have Been Done Before

According to the Post Millennial:

The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for those from Somalia living in the US. Those Somalis that have been living in the US under TPS will be required to go back to their country starting on March 17 later this year.

“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said 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, per Fox News. “We are putting Americans first.” According to the outlet, there are 2,471 Somalis living in the US with TPS, and there are also 1,383 in the country with pending TPS applications as well. The move from the Trump administration comes as ICE is carrying out surged immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota amid the fallout of a widespread fraud scandal in the state.

The issue, although it has been developing for some time, was highlighted by a viral report from independent reporter Nick Shirley, who went to Minnesota to uncover fraud at daycare centers, many of them being run by the Somali population. Roughly $9 billion in fraud schemes have plagued the state, with more reportedly left to uncover.

There are around 600 Somalis with TPS status living in Minnesota. The country of Somalia was granted TPS in 1991 when there was an ongoing civil war in the nation. President Joe Biden had extended TPS status for Somalis in 2024.

More of This

According to Perplexity:

Trump has ordered a pause on processing immigrant visas for 75 countries, not all visas, and it is framed as targeting people deemed likely to use public benefits.

What the policy does

  • The State Department will suspend processing of new immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries whose nationals are categorized as likely to require public assistance (a “public charge”) after arriving in the U.S.
  • The pause is described as indefinite and is part of the Trump administration’s broader immigration and travel restrictions that have expanded since 2025.​

Who is and isn’t affected

  • The suspension applies to immigrant visas, i.e., people seeking to live permanently in the United States as lawful permanent residents.
  • Short-term visas for tourists, students, and other temporary visitors are not covered by this specific suspension, though these categories may be affected by other travel-ban rules or background vetting.

Which countries are included

  • Reporting indicates that the list of 75 countries includes places such as Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Russia, and Somalia, among others.​
  • Major outlets have published maps and full country lists; these show coverage across multiple regions (Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and parts of Asia and Eastern Europe).

Official justification and context

  • The administration and State Department say the pause is meant to protect U.S. taxpayers by limiting immigration from people judged likely to depend on welfare or other public assistance.​
  • It follows earlier Trump-era travel bans and visa restrictions justified on security and vetting grounds, which together now touch dozens of countries through either full bans or partial limits.​

Practical implications and next steps

  • Consular posts will stop issuing new immigrant visas in these countries once the policy takes effect (reports say as early as the week of January 21, 2026).
  • Lawsuits and legal challenges are likely, as immigrant-rights groups and some affected families argue the “public charge” rationale is discriminatory and overly broad.​

The State Department list has been published by multiple outlets and immigration law firms, and it is the same 75 countries across sources.​

Full list of 75 countries

These are the countries subject to the immigrant visa suspension:

Afghanistan; Albania; Algeria; Antigua and Barbuda; Armenia; Azerbaijan; Bahamas; Bangladesh; Barbados; Belarus; Belize; Bhutan; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Brazil; Burma/Myanmar; Cambodia; Cameroon; Cape Verde; Colombia; Congo; Cuba; Dominica; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Egypt; Eritrea; Ethiopia; Fiji; Gambia; Georgia; Ghana; Grenada; Guatemala; Guinea; Haiti; Iran; Iraq; Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire); Jamaica; Jordan; Kazakhstan; Kosovo; Kuwait; Kyrgyzstan; Laos; Lebanon; Liberia; Libya; North Macedonia (often listed as Macedonia); Moldova; Mongolia; Montenegro; Morocco; Nepal; Nicaragua; Nigeria; Pakistan; Republic of the Congo; Russia; Rwanda; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Senegal; Sierra Leone; Somalia; South Sudan; Sudan; Syria; Tanzania; Thailand; Togo; Tunisia; Uganda; Uruguay; Uzbekistan; Yemen.​

How to verify and track changes

  • The State Department notice on “immigrant visa processing updates for nationalities at high risk of public charge” links to the official list and will reflect any additions or removals over time.​
  • Several law firms and advocacy sites mirror the official list verbatim, which is why the names and spellings match closely across NBC, CNBC, Reuters, and immigration law alerts.

Yep!

According to the Daily Wire:

Iranians are condemning the political Left for its silence as thousands are killed by Iran’s brutal Islamist regime.

https://twitter.com/i/status/2011436423073894729

She also stated in a rather lengthy post:

“They keep asking the same question. Why are lefties, why are the loudest pro-Gaza voices completely silent when it comes to Iran? Well, the answer is simple, because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran would shatter the ideological fantasy that they built. Let’s be clear, Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that survives by exporting violence, funding Islamists, and crushing its own people.”

“This is why lefties are silent. Because Hamas fits their narrative, but Iranian people don’t. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be reframed as a resistance. But Islamist violence against Iranians exposes the truth. Right now, as you’re watching this, Iran, a country of more than 92 million people, is being erased in real time. Near total blackout for more than 24 hours. No internet, no call services, no connectivity whatsoever. And yet silence. No emergency protests on Western campuses, no hashtags, no solidarity statements, no megaphones, no tears. Because Iranian suffering does not fit their agenda. Because leftist movements today are not driven by human rights. They are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty. They will scream about censorship unless it’s done by an Islamist regime. They will condemn the state violence unless it’s wrapped in religious language. They will chant Free Palestine, but they never say Free Iran because that will require admitting something unforgivable: that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination.”

“And here’s the part that they do not want to hear. You cannot claim moral superiority while excusing a regime that kills and murders women for refusing hijab, executes protesters, cuts off the whole nation of 92 million people from the internet, and uses foreign proxies as a distraction from its internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians being shot, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic Republic in Iran. That is not solidarity. That is ideological blindness. Iranian people are not silent. They are being silenced. And the silence from the Western Left? Well, that’s a choice. A choice to protect an ideology, a choice to excuse Islamism, a choice to look away when millions of people are suffering. Because their suffering, Iranian people’s suffering, complicates a slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke for universal freedom. and who decided that some lives matter less than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran.”

More of This!

According to the Daily Wire:

A new House proposal aims to crack down on abuses of the student visa system, including by imposing tougher penalties on administrators and institutions found responsible for visa fraud.

The “Student Visa Integrity Act,” introduced by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), would tighten visa expiration dates and require in-person interviews for visa extensions for applicants from countries considered sponsors of terrorism or that are in programs otherwise deemed high national security risks.

Under the proposal, students from state sponsors of terrorism, nations with an overstay rate of 10% or higher, or institutions that do not use E-Verify would be limited to a maximum student visa term of two years.

“Studying in the United States is a privilege, not a right,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “Unfortunately, a system intended to spread the American dream has been abused by fraudsters and bad actors. My bill restores integrity to a system that has been exploited for decades by protecting national security, enforcing immigration law, and ensuring the student visa program serves America’s interests.”

Gill’s proposal would also require educational institutions and affiliated organizations to disclose any financial links to China. In addition, the bill would set new limits on foreign students wanting to transfer between schools.

The bill also empowers the Department of Homeland Security to reject student visa applicants from “countries of concern” if the applicant could pose a future national security risk to the United States. That includes individuals seeking to work in “the energy sector of Iran” or to “participate in coursework or training relating to or otherwise engage in flight training, aviation maintenance, or flight operations.”

Finally!

According to Fox News:

The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that federal candidates have the right to challenge state election laws that govern the counting of ballots in their states, clearing the way for an expected flurry of new lawsuits in the run-up to this year’s midterm elections.

Justices ruled 7-2 that candidates running for federal office have the standing to sue state election boards over their counting of ballots — including challenging laws that allow for the counting of late-arriving mail-in ballots.

Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The ruling from the high court is expected to be hailed as a victory for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, and comes as the high court is slated to consider a case more directly involving mail-in ballots later this year.

Ignoring the Problem

Some of the criminal illegal immigrants busted by ICE over the weekend in Minnesota include:

  • Mohamud Farah Mohamed, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia with arrests for multiple counts of credit card fraud, drug possession and controlled substance possession and drug trafficking. He was issued a final order of removal in 2022.
  • Saeb Sivixay, of Laos, who has three prior convictions for selling amphetamines as well as convictions for assault and contributing to a minor’s delinquency. His final order of removal was issued in 2009.
  • Ignacio Gonzalez-De La Rosa, in the US illegally from Mexico, who was previously arrested for child cruelty and battery.   
  • Ever Joel Lopez Del Cid, previously arrested for carrying a weapon, aggravated assault and obstructing justice.  
  • Miguel Salvador-Reyes a Mexican national arrested previously for cruelty toward a child.  
  • Mario Yubany Fuentes-Sanchez, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras previously arrested for terroristic threats and domestic violence.  
  • Tong Sphabmisay, a criminal illegal alien from Thailand, with a conviction for possession of 200 tablets of Ecstasy.  
  • Tong Sphabmisay, a criminal illegal alien from Thailand, with a conviction for possession of 200 tablets of Ecstasy.  
  • Danny Yasmani Suares Munoz, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador, with previously arrested for multiple counts of domestic violence and aggravated assault. This criminal illegally entered the U.S. in July 2023 and was released into the country under the Biden administration.
  • Ansar Abdullahi Samatar, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia previously arrested for dangerous drugs and possession of narcotics.
