Trump regurgitates globalist plan to merge U.S.-Canada-Mexico in North American Union; oh, and throw in Greenland and Panama for good measure
Well, nobody saw this coming. In one fell swoop, President Trump has just traced out the historic Technocracy movement’s mystery map of the North American Technate — a land mass that stretched from Greenland to just beyond Panama. This far exceeds George W. Bush’s failed attempt to create the North American Union in 2005-2006 to merge the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Sources: About 100 Minneapolis police officers apply for new paid leave program
Around 100 Minneapolis police officers could soon be off duty for weeks to months from an already critically understaffed police department, and just as the city faces a serious public safety crisis with protesters inciting confrontations with the surge of federal agents working in the city.

Strike against Khamenei would be ‘all-out war on Iranian nation,’ warns Pezeshkian as latest estimate says regime killed 16,500 protesters 
Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, warned that any potential military operation targeting Supreme Leader Khamenei would be seen as a declaration of “all-out war” against Iran, as the regime’s leadership launched a series of statements against the American president after he said that the time for a change of leadership had come. In a post on 𝕏 on Saturday, Pezeshkian warned, “Any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation.”

House whip says evidence from whistleblowers could lead to Walz indictment: ‘Should be in cuffs’
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told Just the News on Tuesday that Minnesota state employees are providing evidence that could lead to the federal prosecution of Gov. Tim Walz, offering sworn whistleblower testimony confirming the Democratic governor failed to act after they warned about massive taxpayer fraud involving the state’s Somali immigrant population. “That my friend should be enough for criminal charges. The man should be in cuffs,” Emmer said Emmer confirmed Tuesday those whistleblowers are now cooperating with investigators and taking an important step to give testimony under oath about their efforts to alert Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Trump, RFK Jr. claim they were unaware some funding was restored to Planned Parenthood
President Donald Trump and Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they were unaware of the recent restoration of Title X funds to Planned Parenthood, but administration sources have attempted to reassure pro-lifers that alternative means of cutting off the funding are in the works. the far-left American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has withdrawn a lawsuit against the move after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed in court that a review had found the affected organizations were not in violation of the DEI rule, and the funding had therefore been restored. The retreat did not affect the majority of the Trump administration’s abortion defunding actions, which are still in effect and being defended from legal challenge, but caused deep alarm among the pro-life movement.

Trump Unveils Gaza Oversight Board—Netanyahu Fires Back
The White House announced Friday the composition of the Gaza Executive Board, a key panel tasked with overseeing reconstruction and governance in Gaza as part of President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan. Within hours, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare public rebuke of the administration, declaring the board’s makeup “runs contrary” to Israeli policy. The dispute centers on the inclusion of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and senior Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi—representatives from two nations that have repeatedly condemned Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Netanyahu’s office stated the board’s composition “was not coordinated with Israel” and instructed Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to raise the matter directly with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Gaza Executive Board’s membership list reads like a who’s who of Middle East power brokers:

‘No longer safe’: Trump weighs asylum plan for UK Jews amid rising antisemitism
Trump adviser Robert Garson says the administration is exploring asylum for UK Jews, warning Britain is “no longer safe” amid rising antisemitism.

The real reason Israel opposed a US strike on Iran and the rare opportunity for regime change
Even in an extreme scenario involving the launch of 700 missiles from Iran—compared to approximately 500 launched during Operation Rising Lion—the strategic cost-benefit assessment in Jerusalem remains fundamentally unchanged. In the view of Israeli decision-makers, if a military operation could lead to the collapse of the Iranian regime, the price would not only be acceptable but worthwhile, particularly given the capabilities pushed to their limits in the recent conflict.

Working Overtime To Squelch The Church: Christian Persecution Reports Reach All-Time High
Christian persecution has reached unprecedented levels in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, according to an annual global ranking of the 50 most dangerous nations for Christ-followers. Open Doors International, which has been ranking countries since 1993 based on reports of violence against Christians, released its 2026 World Watch List on Jan. 14. Open Doors CEO Ryan Brown said that 388 million Christians live in regions of the world where they are highly susceptible to persecution for their faith. “It’s because the Church is advancing,” Brown said.

If he gets Greenland, Trump will go down in history as one of the great American presidents 
If Donald Trump were to consummate a purchase of Greenland, he would almost certainly secure a place in both American and global history. Beyond the spectacle, the scale alone would be staggering. Greenland spans roughly 2.17 million square kilometers – making it comparable in size to the entire Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and larger than the 1867 Alaska Purchase. Fold that landmass into today’s United States and America’s total area would jump past Canada, placing the US second only to Russia in territorial size.

Pentagon Puts 1,500 Arctic-Trained Troops On Standby For Minnesota Deployment Amid Left-Wing Chaos 
The Pentagon has placed 1,500 active-duty troops on prepare-to-deploy status for a possible deployment to the Minneapolis metro area if social unrest escalates in the sanctuary city governed by left-wing politicians, according to multiple reports from ABC News and The Washington Post, both citing unnamed defense officials. President Trump has already sent 3,000 federal agents from ICE and Border Patrol to Minneapolis and nearby St. Paul this month, as part of a massive federal deportation operation to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens that are being shielded by corrupt Democratic politicians.

The Latest Trump Move Involving Minneapolis Is Going to Trigger a Lib Meltdown
These leftist clowns are plunging Minneapolis into mayhem after the January 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good, 37, who was killed by ICE agents after she rammed into one. Good, a professional activist, was harassing federal agents that day and had previously disrupted ICE operations. The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, one of the Army’s premier infantry formations and a frontline force in the U.S. military presence in the Pacific, positioned to help deter China. The division is also the military’s leading formation for Arctic warfare. Deploy the troops, Mr. President, but also make sure they have tank support as well.

Syrian president announces ceasefire, full integration deal between government, SDF
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa announced Sunday a comprehensive ceasefire and full integration agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF, outlining sweeping measures to restore state authority in the country’s northeast.

Inventor of ‘suicide pod’ shares new design that will let couples end lives together
Dr Philip Nitschke, the inventor of the Sarco Pod, which allows the occupant to take their own life, has spoken about the development of another kind of pod which would enable two people to take their own lives. His invention was used for the first time in 2024 in Switzerland by a 64-year-old American woman, with several people taken into custody as a result.

Omar Fateh Calls For A ‘No-Go Zone For White Supremacists’ In Minnesota While Ilhan Omar Refers To ‘God***n’ United States Over ICE
It looks like Senator Omar Fateh and House Representative Ilhan Omar are determined to implement Somali Sharia law in Minnesota amid ramping up ICE hatred among Muslims there. One wants to enforce a European-style “no-go zone for white supremacists,” and the other referred to the “God***n” United States in connection with ICE enforcing the law.

As U.S. Forces Move Into Position For A Potential Attack On Iran, Evidence That The Iranians Possess Unconventional Weapons Emerges
We’re witnessing a massive buildup of air and naval power in the Middle East and told everything could be ready for an attack on Iran in 2 to 3 weeks. But if the U.S. strikes Iran, will Iran respond by using unconventional weapons? Journalist Catherine Herridge claims she’s obtained military records that indicate U.S. military personnel were exposed to “numerous toxic agents, including radiation” when Iran hit al-Asad Air Base with missiles in 2020.

Trump launches phase 2 of Gaza peace plan — but Hamas disarmament remains the real test
President Donald Trump’s administration formally launched the second phase of its plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas this week, shifting from a ceasefire framework toward a post-ceasefire political and security phase for Gaza. The announcement immediately raised a central question that now dominates expert analysis: who will actually disarm Hamas.

Manitoba launches ‘digital ID’ health cards despite privacy concerns
Manitoba has released an online digital health card, which some are warning could be the first step in digital identification systems. On January 12, the province of Manitoba unveiled its newly developed digital health care cards, which allow residents to store their government-issued medical information in an online app.

Musk-Grok Controversy: Where’s the Line Between Censorship and Safety?
What began as reports of Grok AI chatbot generating explicit deepfake images has turned into lawsuits, regulatory demands, and international investigations. Musk insists the outrage is used as an excuse to tighten controls over artificial intelligence and online speech. The Grok episode is developing into a live test of whether AI regulation will focus on preventing harm, or instead expand into a broader system of pre-emptive censorship justified by worst-case scenarios.

The Pakistanification of Texas Rages On, One Bill at a Time
Ideological replacement is happening right now in a Republican-led state, forcing every Texan to choose—Islam or freedom. You can’t have both. Two Pakistani-born Democrat lawmakers, Suleman Lalani and Salman Bhojani, are pushing a series of bills and resolutions that are effectively importing Pakistan’s ideological agenda into Texas law.

CIA director met with Venezuela’s leader in Caracas as Trump huddled with Machado 
CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez on Thursday in Caracas, the same day President Trump met with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the White House. Ratcliffe, the most senior administration official to visit Venezuela since U.S. Army Special Forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, traveled to the Latin American country at Trump’s direction to “deliver the message that the United States looks forward to an improved working relationship,” a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Hill on Friday.

Shameless Ilhan Omar Accuses Trump of Wasting Taxpayer Dollars 
Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is in a very special category: black, Muslim, and a refugee from Somalia. It’s a triple-banger, like Karine Jean-Pierre, always touted as black, lesbian, and Haitian. Never question their prominence on the merits. It’s a born-on-third-base situation in national politics and media. So, when Omar submits herself to television interviews from liberal networks, she knows she can say inflammatory things and not be seriously challenged.

Congress to call Nick Shirley, former investigator to testify as Minnesota fraud crisis explodes
Reports of widespread fraud in Minnesota’s taxpayer-funded programs are headed straight into the congressional spotlight next week, with lawmakers preparing to hear from a former fraud investigator and the YouTuber whose videos ignited a national reckoning. “It is our goal to find out what is going on, criminally prosecute who should be prosecuted, and just stop the fraud,” said Rep. Andy Biggs, who will lead the hearing. Those findings echo more than a year of Alpha News reporting, which has uncovered similar patterns across autism therapy clinics, adult daycare programs and transportation companies.

Ayatollah admits thousands dead – US warns
According to Ali Khamenei, the violence in Iran was caused by the United States, which he said aims to “swallow Iran.”“The Iranian nation broke the back of the uprising; it must also break the back of the insurgents,” he wrote on X on Saturday, stating that Iran will “not spare domestic or international criminals.” The Ayatollah accused individuals “linked to Israel and the US” of killing thousands of people during the protests. The US State Department sent a warning to Tehran. “As President Trump has repeatedly emphasized – all options remain on the table. (…) Don’t play games with President Trump,” they wrote in Persian in a post on X.

Israel launches major aliyah initiative as antisemitism surges in Western countries 
The Israeli Ministerial Committee on Immigration and Absorption on Tuesday approved a large-scale Jewish immigration (Aliyah) initiative titled “Nevertheless – Aliyah of Renewal,” amid rising antisemitism in Western countries. Anti-Jewish and anti-Israel incidents have surged across the West following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 Israelis. Antisemitic incidents between 2022 and 2024 soared by 562% in Canada, 450% in the UK, 350% in France and 387% in Australia according to new data released by the Israeli Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Ministry

Trump vows tariffs on eight European nations over Greenland
President Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to implement a wave of increasing tariffs on European allies until the United States is allowed to buy Greenland, escalating a row over the future of Denmark’s vast Arctic island. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said additional 10% import tariffs would take effect on February 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Great Britain — all already subject to tariffs imposed by Trump. Those tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1 and would continue until a deal was reached for the U.S. to purchase Greenland, Trump wrote.

Where are the so-called human rights defenders for the people of Iran
The United Nations, prominent NGOs, liberal politicians, and left-leaning activist networks seemingly love to frame themselves as some kind of elevated moral conscience for the international system. They speak the language of “justice,” “dignity,” and “universal human rights” and insist—sometimes with threats and violence—that silence in the face of oppression is “complicity.” When it comes to Iran, however, where ordinary, unarmed people demanding freedom are being beaten, tortured, imprisoned, and gunned down in the streets by their own leaders, this high-minded moral chorus has all but disappeared. This double standard only exposes the bottomless hypocrisy at the heart of much contemporary human rights activism.

US official: Gaza is our way or the highway
US President Donald Trump’s advisers reject criticism of Board of Peace, say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must make a choice, A senior US official told Axios, “This is our show, not his show,” referring to Netanyahu. The official added, “We managed to do things in Gaza in recent months nobody thought was possible, and we are going to continue moving.” The official said stressed, “If he wants us to deal with Gaza, it will have to be our way. We worked over him. Let him focus on Iran and let us deal with Gaza. We are not going to argue with him. He will do his politics and we will keep moving forward with our plan. He can’t really go against us.”

Exclusive: Israeli Officials Harshly Critical of Steve Witkoff’s Influence on US Policy on Gaza, Iran, 
Amid growing disagreements with the Trump administration over the composition of the Board of Peace for Gaza and the question of a strike on Iran, officials in Israel point to a key figure behind decisions seen as running counter to Israeli interests: Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

‘Trump United Nations’: Netanyahu invited to join Board of Peace
Washington reportedly mulls expanding Trump’s Board of Peace beyond Gaza to Ukraine and Venezuela; over 50 nations invited, including Israel, Turkey and Egypt, as questions mount and critics warn of US-led Security Council alternative. U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to join a newly announced international body overseeing postwar Gaza, signaling that the initiative, initially presented as Gaza focused, could evolve into a far broader forum that critics are already dubbing “Trump’s United Nations.”

The a Gaza peace plan’s missing piece: Who will actually dismantle Hamas?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi have been invited to join a ‘peace council’ tasked with ending the war in Gaza. For now, there are no agreements, but the planned lineup is impressive and includes prominent international figures. President Donald Trump is expected to lead the initiative, alongside Britain’s former prime minister Tony Blair, the US secretary of state and, inevitably, the perennial son-in-law Jared Kushner. Under the council, an executive body would include special envoy Steven Witkoff once again, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and World Bank President Ajay Banga. Each of the committees is expected to include 15 members charged with overseeing, each in their own field, the Palestinian body meant to administer Gaza. Meant to, because it remains unclear how this would function on the ground. The new framework is designed to bypass what many involved see as the ineffective and frustrating role of the United Nations in Gaza.

Trump to POLITICO: ‘It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran’
President Donald Trump on Saturday called for an end to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 37-year reign. “It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran,” Trump told POLITICO, as widespread protests calling for an end to the regime appear to have waned. After being read a series of hostile X posts from Iran’s supreme leader, Trump said the ayatollah is guilty of “the complete destruction of his country.”

Iran’s supreme leader acknowledges thousands killed as Trump calls for new leadership
Iran’s supreme leader publicly acknowledged for the first time that thousands of people were killed during recent anti-government protests, as President Trump called for new leadership in Iran. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blaming the U.S. for the unrest and violence and saying some protesters died “in an inhuman, savage manner.”

Netanyahu’s office: U.S. announcement on composition of Gaza Executive Board not coordinated with Israel, runs counter to Israel’s policy
An unusually blunt statement from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticized the appointments to the Gaza Executive Board announced by the White House on Friday, exposing a clear difference with U.S. administration of President Donald Trump over who will govern the Palestinian enclave.

Ghazala Hashmi Takes Oath on Quran to Be Sworn In as Virginia Lt. Gov.
In video footage posted on social media, Hashmi was seen being instructed to place her left hand on the Quran and to raise her right hand. Hashmi defeated radio host John Reid in Virginia’s election in November 2025. During the campaign, Reid “identified himself as someone who has ‘very strong principles,’” while Hashmi “appealed to her status as a diverse candidate.”

Winter storm warning announced impacting 18 states as rare heavy snow approaches
It’s not often that the southeastern United States gets more snow than the Midwest, but it looks like that is going to be the case this weekend, as a rare winter storm warning has been issued for parts of Georgia as a system moves across the eastern United States, bringing winter weather to at least 18 different states along or near the East Coast.

The UK continues its rapid decline into morally rotten irrelevance
Whether it’s BBC talking heads hissing at the mention of Christ, an army of cokeheads, or a conservative banned from the country, the UK is on its last legs. It’s painful to watch a country I once respected and admired slide into decayed irrelevancy, but I can’t turn my eyes away. It’s like watching a traffic accident. You know the outcome is going to be dreadful, but part of you hopes a last-minute miracle will occur.

Great Replacement: This Country Imported an “Entire City” of Third Worlders in 2025
Those Germans complaining are just told to shut their mouths — sometimes, persuasively, via “hate speech”-law application. There’s an irony here, too. This new Third World “migrant city” came in during a year when the German government promised to restrict immigration. So what was the supposed alternative, having two Third World “migrant cities” enter the country?

Egyptian Christian Given Five Years’ Hard Labor for YouTube Videos Defending Faith
Augustinos Samaan is a Coptic Christian who studies comparative religion. “Through scholarly work and online educational content, he peacefully discussed religious issues and responded to anti-Christian incitement.” His YouTube channel has over 100,000 subscribers. Such popularity is undoubtedly what brought him to the attention of the Egyptian government.

Over 200 killed by heavy rains, flooding and storms across Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe
More than 200 people have died in weeks of torrential rain and severe flooding across southern Africa, with Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe bearing the worst impacts. The prolonged La Niña pattern has intensified the region’s rainy season, leaving widespread damage to homes, roads, crops and public infrastructure.

Australia’s proposed “hate crime” bill is not only an attack on free speech; it opens the door to belief-based punishment
“Everybody needs to stand against this. The Australian government is rushing through a new ‘hate-crime’ bill which criminalises association rather than conduct and applies terrorism-law logic to political activism, protesters and online community groups.”—Blair Cotrell

An Old Receipt Proves That Grocery Prices Have More Than Tripled, And Consumer Bankruptcies Are Soaring
I knew that I wasn’t imagining things. There are so many times when I am shopping for groceries that I see a product that seems like it has doubled or tripled in price over the years. I am sure that many of you have experienced the exact same thing. Well, now we have confirmation that we aren’t going crazy. When 24-year-old Zoe Dippel was browsing through old family photo albums, she discovered something incredibly shocking in an envelope…

Green Energy Transition: Energy giants looked at the cliff’s edge and refused to jump
…In 2025, energy giants looked at the cliff’s edge and refused to jump; they are U-turning on “green” energy initiatives. Will governments recognise what corporations have made clear, that “green” energy is an unscientific fantasy, and return to hydrocarbon fuels? Or will they continue to increase subsidies and regulations to force the unsustainable “green transition”?

NC Congressional Candidate Nida ‘Mini-Mamdani’ Allam Responds to RAIR’s Shocking Exposé; Laughs in the Face of Voters
Aida Allam embodies the Red/Green axis, prompting comparisons to militant New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Her supporters on X range from far left Marxists to foreign operatives. She embraced the report, stating “…if you’re ready to bring our “radical” (read: commonsense, progressive) agenda to NC, support my campaign here!”

As Euthanasia Snuffs Out Over 76,000 Lives In Canada, Christians Must Stand
By the end of 2024, enough Canadians to fill a sizable football stadium had died by euthanasia, according to recently released official statistics. As Canadian ethicist Daryl Pullman observes, these deaths “are in point of fact, homicides.” So while the government refers to euthanasia and assisted suicide as MAID (for “medical assistance in dying”), a more accurate term is SHAM: sanctioned homicide actualized medically.
